Novel Time Domain Radiowave Propagators For Wireless Communication Systems, Funda Akleman, M. O. Özyalçin, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2002

Novel Time Domain Radiowave Propagators For Wireless Communication Systems, Funda Akleman, M. O. Özyalçin, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, novel time domain wave propagators are used in path loss calculations for macro and micro cell coverage planning in wireless communication systems. Both Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) based propagators, which were introduced recently and validated and verified on different canonical propagation scenarios, are used for this purpose. Examples are chosen both in rural and urban areas, where two propagators are compared with each other. Excellent agreement between the results obtained via two propagators is presented. The results presented here are very encouraging and these propagators are shown to be powerful tools for not …


Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal L-Shaped Bent Waveguide And Its Application To Wavelength Multi/Demultiplexer, Yoshihiro Naka, Hiroyoshi Ikuno Jan 2002

Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal L-Shaped Bent Waveguide And Its Application To Wavelength Multi/Demultiplexer, Yoshihiro Naka, Hiroyoshi Ikuno

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The bent waveguide is a key element for integrated optical signal processing waveguide devices. We propose a new type of two-dimensional photonic crystal L-shaped bent waveguides with additional pillars at the corner. Using the FDTD method based on the principle of multidimensional wave digital filters we simulate its transmission characteristics and show an excellent transmission of light in L-shaped bent waveguide. As an application we design compact size multi/demultiplexer composed of the L-shaped bent waveguides and directional couplers and realize multi/demultiplexer with low-insertion loss and high extinction ratio device whose size is of the order of the wavelength of light.


Sar Simulations In Wireless Communication And Safety Discussions In The Society, M. O. Özyalçin, Funda Akleman, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2002

Sar Simulations In Wireless Communication And Safety Discussions In The Society, M. O. Özyalçin, Funda Akleman, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Numerical simulation in cellular phone - human tissue interaction is discussed in this paper. The powerful time domain (TD) techniques, the transmission line matrix (TLM) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods, are used to model mutual effects. The purpose is to calculate specific absorption rate (SAR; defined as the power absorbed by the unit mass of the tissue), validate the codes and verify the results. Also, effectiveness of the SAR parameter in determination of the exposure limits for human health and environmental pollution is discussed.
