| Title: | Multi-level Power Series Solution for Large Surface and Volume Electric Field Integral Equation |
| Abstract: | In this paper, we propose a new multi-level power series solution method for solving a large surface and volume electric field integral equation-based H-Matrix. The proposed solution method converges in a fixed number of iterations and is solved at each level of the H-Matrix computation. The solution method avoids the computation of a full matrix, as it can be solved independently at each level, starting from the leaf level. Solution at each level can be used as the final solution, thus saving the matrix computation time for full H-Matrix. The paper shows that the leaf level matrix computation and solution with power series gives as accurate results as the full H-Matrix iterative solver method. The method results in considerable savings time and memory savings compared to the H-Matrix iterative solver. Further, the proposed method retains the O(NlogN) solution complexity. |

| Title: | Scattering and Diffraction Evaluated by Physical Optics Surface Current on a Truncated Cylindrical Conductive Cap |
| Abstract: | In this study physical optics (PO) surface current is obtained by using the Malyughinetz solution to get the scattered field expression for a truncated cylindrical conductive cap satisfying the related boundary conditions given throughout this paper. This is done by using the inverse edge point method for the transformation from the Malyughinetz solution for the wave diffraction by a half plane to the wave diffraction by a truncated conductive cylinder. This transformation method can be used to examine the diffraction and scattering phenomena for curved surfaces having discontinuities as dealt with in this work. Total scattered field comprising the incident and scattered fields is plotted with respect to the observation angle for some parameters of the problem. The obtained results are examined numerically for the same parameters. |

| Title: | Synthesis of Elliptical Antenna Array using Hybrid SSWOA Algorithm |
| Abstract: | In terms of research, the elliptical antenna arrays (EAA) synthesis is relatively novel. As it does not have to be circular in construction, this novel synthesis can maneuver the primary beam in the right direction, making it easier to realize. The amplitude and angular location of the ellipse, as well as the eccentricity of the ellipse, are all taken into account in the optimization process. The proposed hybrid algorithm is the SSWOA (Salp Swarm Whale Optimization Algorithm), which combines the Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm (SSA) with the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The SSA algorithm serves as a guide, while the WOA algorithm serves as a helper in this method. We discover that optimization has a faster convergence time and high convergence accuracy when considering the benefits of SSA and WOA and applying them to the synthesis of antenna array layouts. If Griewank, Rosenbrock, Sphere, and Rastrigin test functions are used, it’s worth noting that the hybrid method outperforms both WOA and SSA. |

| Title: | Application of Artificial Neural Network Base Enhanced MLP Model for Scattering Parameter Prediction of Dual-band Helical Antenna |
| Abstract: | Many design optimization problems have problems that seek fast, efficient and reliable based solutions. In such cases, artificial intelligence-based modeling is used to solve costly and complex problems. This study is based on the modeling of a multiband helical antenna using the Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method using a reduced data enhanced multilayer perceptron (eMLP). The proposed helical antenna is dual-band and has resonance frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 2.75 GHz. The enhanced structure of the artificial neural network (ANN) was tested using 4 different training algorithms and a maximum of 10 different MLP architectures to determine the most suitable model in a simple and quick way. Then, performance comparison with other ANN networks was made to confirm the success of the model. Considering the high cost of antenna simulations, it is clear that the proposed model will save a lot of time. In addition, thanks to the selected sampling model, a wide range of modeling can be done with minimum data. When the target and prediction data are compared, it is seen that these data overlap to a large extent. As a result of the study, it was seen that the ANN modeling and the 125 samples used, were as accurate as an electromagnetic (EM) simulator for other input parameters in a wide range selected. |

| Title: | A Simple Interference and Power-based Direction of Arrival Measuring System for Modern Communication |
| Abstract: | In this paper, we present a system specialized for measuring the direction-of-arrival (DoA) of electromagnetic waves with noticeable simplicity. Unlike common methods, which are based heavily on complex computation and signal processing, our proposed system is considerably simpler, both in terms of design and operating theory. Our design consists of two directional antennas for collecting incident waves, a system of Wilkinson power combiners and dividers in which the waves collected by the antennas interfere, a resultprocessing block consisting of power amplifiers, rectifiers, and a microcontroller unit that respectively converts the interferometric radio-frequency (RF) signal into direct-current (DC) signal, measures its corresponding power before calculating the incident angle solely based on a simple trigonometric equation. The system yields a high accuracy of less than 7.5° with the incident angle ranging from –60° to 60°. |

| Title: | A Wideband, High Gain and Low Sidelobe Array Antenna for Modern ETC Systems |
| Abstract: | Modern electronic toll collection (ETC) systems are currently moving towards a system design that is capable of fast and optimal payment handling for a single lane. Thus, the antenna of a roadside reader unit (RSU) needs to provide sufficient coverage over the vehicle lane during a payment cycle. In this paper, a left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) 24 array antenna is proposed for European standard RSU readers at 5.8 GHz. The proposed array antenna consists of patch element antennas with parasitic elements to enhance gain and bandwidth. Sequential phase rotation feeding networks are applied to make the antenna low-profile. By using the optimized nut-shaped metasurface, the antenna can achieve higher gain due to concentrated radiation power in the boresight direction. The antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth of 2.34 GHz (37.73%), axis ratio bandwidth of 2.07 GHz (32.9%), high gain of 17 dBi, and sidelobe level (SLL) lower than -15 dB at 5.8 GHz. Especially, half-power beamwidths are 34° and 17° in horizontal and vertical planes, respectively, which covers sufficient space for a single lane while avoiding interference with other lanes. The performance of the proposed antenna is verified by measured results. It showed that the proposed antenna is a promising candidate for ETC applications. |

| Title: | High-isolation Wi-Fi Antenna System based on Metamaterial |
| Abstract: | In this research, an inverted L shaped Wi-Fi antenna with a metamaterial (MTM) decoupling unit is proposed. This swirly-shaped antenna has a compact geometry size of 0.1 wavelength. The metamaterial decoupling unit is placed between the antenna elements to improve the isolation to reduce the mutual coupling. The antenna’s isolation reached 20.7 dB from 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz, and 23.5 dB from 5.15 GHz to 5.85 GHz, after the metamaterial unit was introduced. This designed methodology reinforced the anti-interference capability. This compact and low-cost antenna is especially suitable for application in high-density Wi-Fi 6 systems. |

| Title: | Temperature Controlled Terahertz Absorbers based on Omega Resonators |
| Abstract: | In this article, the structural stability of a metasurface absorber that works at 2.8 THz is analyzed. Since the absorber is made of metallic titanium, its elemental inclusions will be heated up and expand when absorbing electromagnetic waves. To evaluate the accumulated heat, the structural thermal expansion and the stability of the wave-absorbing performance, electromagnetism-thermodynamics-structural mechanics multiphysics simulations are conducted. Based on the thermal stability study, thermistors are further introduced into the metasurface, leading to two thermal controlled terahertz absorbers. Numerical experiments show that the absorbers present a peak absorption coefficient of 92.7% at 2.79 THz up to the temperature of 1761.4 K. When the temperature rises, the absorption frequencies of the two absorbers shift to 3.51 THz and 3.94 THz, with the peak absorption coefficients of 92.8% and 93.8%, respectively. |

| Title: | Electromagnetic and Thermal Analysis of a 6/4 Induction Switched Reluctance Machine for Electric Vehicle Application |
| Abstract: | In this paper, an oil-cooling induction switched reluctance machine (ISRM) is offered. The stator and rotor of the electric machine are non-segmental. However, by placing coils on the rotor, a short magnetic flux path is achieved in the rotor and stator cores. As a result, a higher torque with lower losses is generated. This configuration can be used in high-power electric motors for electric and hybrid vehicles. ISRM is a novel machine and there is a lack of access to its operation and data characteristics. ISRM can be designed in different configurations with various stator and rotor pole numbers and winding strategies. In this study, an oil-cooling three-phase ISRM with 6 stator poles and 4 rotor poles was considered. Firstly, a 2D finite element model of it is created, and its magnetic properties extracted, the flux path, torque and efficiency of the ISRM are calculated, and the results are presented. Secondly, the thermal performance of the motor is analyzed using ANSYS Motor- Cad software. Finally, a prototype of the ISRM and its appropriate drive with the oil cooling system is built and tested. The experimental results and conclusions which prove the ability of the presented machine are presented in the last parts of the paper. |

| Title: | Sub-harmonic-based Cost-effective Brushless Wound Rotor Synchronous Machine Topology |
| Abstract: | This paper proposes a sub-harmonic-based brushless wound rotor synchronous machine (WRSM) topology. The proposed topology involves two threephase stator windings with a different number of turns. Both windings are linked in parallel and are provided with current from a single inverter. One of these windings is a four-pole winding while the second winding is a two-pole winding. This arrangement generates a magneto-motive force (MMF) in the air-gap of the machine comprising of two components: a regular fundamental MMF and a sub-harmonic MMF. The fundamental component produces the main stator field whereas the sub-harmonic component generates a subharmonic field that is utilized to produce a harmonic current in a two-pole rotor harmonic winding. The induced harmonic current is rectified to inject direct current (DC) to the field winding and produce a four-pole rotor magnetic field. The four-pole rotor magnetic field when magnetically interacts with the same number of the main stator field poles producing torque. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out to confirm the operation and achieve the electromagnetic behavior of the proposed topology. |
