A Data-Driven Approach To Multiresolution Analysis Of Near-Field Scanning, Yanming Zhang, Lijun Jiang Jan 2023

A Data-Driven Approach To Multiresolution Analysis Of Near-Field Scanning, Yanming Zhang, Lijun Jiang

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Near-field scanning has been widely adopted as a valuable tool in diagnosing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. This paper proposes a multiresolution dynamic mode decomposition (MRDMD)-based method for analyzing time-varying near-field radiation. MRDMD executes the traditional DMD method recursively and hierarchically. The distribution of DMD eigenvalues determines the slow and fast modes in a level's decomposition, in which the slow modes are reserved, and the fast modes are utilized to generate the input data for the next level. Finally, the multiresolution time-frequency representation of the near-field radiation field is obtained. And the spatial distributions corresponding to each …
