Feasible Waveguide Method for Obtaining Electromagnetic Properties of Biaxial Bianisotropic Materials with Strong Magneto-Electric Coupling

Abstract

In this study, an easy-to-apply waveguide method is proposed for material characterization of biaxial bianisotropic samples with strong magneto-electric coupling. Its underlying expressions are derived considering scattering (S-) parameters of the sample at one fixed orientation in two waveguides at their dominant modes with different cross sections. The method is validated by synthesized and retrieved electromagnetic properties of a sample when there is no/some noise.

Güçlü Manyeto-Elektrik Kuplajlı Biaksiyal Bianizotropik Malzemelerin Elektromanyetik Özelliklerini Elde Etmek İçin Uygulanabilir Dalga Kılavuzu Yöntemi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, güçlü manyeto-elektrik kuplajlı biaksiyal bianizotropik numunelerin malzeme karakterizasyonu için uygulanması kolay bir dalga kılavuzu yöntemi önerilmiştir. Temel ifadeleri, farklı kesitlere sahip baskın modlarında iki dalga kılavuzunda sabit bir yönelimde numunenin saçılma (S-) parametreleri dikkate alınarak türetilmiştir. Yöntem, gürültü olmadığında/bir miktar gürültü olduğunda bir numunenin sentezlenen ve yeniden elde edilen elektromanyetik özellikleriyle doğrulanmıştır.
