Full textHe continuous evolution of wireless communication systems in indoor environments requires the development of characterization and modeling tools for electromagnetic waves propagation, in order to answer the engineer's issues and needs and to ensure the best planning and an optimal operation of the communicating systems. The work carried out during this thesis concerns antenna radiation modeling, taking into account the environment complexity. The modeling method based on FDTD, detailed in this manuscript, provides efficiently and accurately the fields' strengths, taking account of propagation and radio waves interactions phenomena in any environment. Two main objectives of improvement were brought to this code. The first focused on improving its performance, and the second concerned the emission of multi-sources and the integration of a human body model in order to ensure more realism to modeling realized with this code. The validation of the FDTD code was done by comparative studies in three different environments. The first study concerned a wireless communication through metallic watertight doors on ship board. Good accuracy of the FDTD code was noticed by comparing the code's and measurements' results. The second study concerned the antenna radiation within a typical office environment. The results obtained by measurements were compared to those obtained by the FDTD code and other simulation tools (HFSS and the raytracing tool "Wireless lnsite"). They have shown that the FDTD code provides the most accurate results with an acceptable computational time and without big computer resources. The last study examined the human presence effect in a steel room. Measurements' and FDTD code's results were compared and a qood aqreement was obtained

Full textSilicon carbide is a wide band-gap semiconductor with electrical and thermal characteristics particularly suitable for high power devices and radiation sensors. The realisation of UV detectors is mainly useful in the following sectors: fire detection, surface imagery, astronomy, medicine, military... The photodetectors based on wide band-gap semiconductors allow to get a very good selectivity, without using optical filters. Silicon carbide seems to be the most promising material, due to its chemical, mechanical and thermal stability, inducing a reliable behaviour in extreme environment. However SiC doping requires a distinct know-how (hot ion implantation, high temperature annealing, rapid heating-rate…). Test devices have been firstly processed by using ion implantation and plasma, allowing evaluating p+n or n+p junction characteristics. After the optimisation of the technological parameters of implantation and related annealing, the realisation of radiation detectors based on Schottky or p.n diodes has been carried out. The electrical simulations of such devices were performed with Sentaurus Devices program (Synopsys). The characteristics of the devices proved an improvement with the Boron-plasma implantation

Full textThis work has enabled to define new possibilities for the LE-FDTD algorithm (Lumped Element – Finite Difference Time Domain), and use it on two original applications. The first one allows to represent a distributed passive structure with its equivalent impedance. In this way, this work underscore parasitic phenomenon which are present with the insertion of the lumped elements into the FDTD meshgrid. Then, a solution is proposed to compensate them. As result, a transition from a microstrip line to a coaxial line is replaced by its equivalent impedance until 80GHz. The second application is dedicated to the reception system used in a wireless power transmission. This system has been studied in a global electromagnetic simulation (antenna, rectifier and load) in order to take all couplings and radiations into account. So, this global approach permits to determinate the conversion efficiency of such a system

Full textThis work deals with the design, fabrication and characterization of nanostructuredplanar lenses dedicated to near infrared detection for CMOS image sensors.Applications and optronic systems involved in near infrared imaging have been investigatedin order to highlight the strong interest of CMOS images sensors for the 800-1100 nmspectral band. Limitations of silicon and pixel structure explain the integration of nanostructuredplanar lenses compatible with CMOS fabrication process : a plasmonic lens, a dielectricphase-Fresnel lens, a metallic Huygens lens and a gradient-index lens. 2D electromagneticsimulations of a CMOS pixel with each planar lens have demonstrated the good performanceof the Huygens lens for low fill factor pixels and the phase-Fresnel lens for standard pixels.3D simulations of these lenses have been performed for their integration and fabrication inCMOS image sensors. The 3D design by numerical simulations of a gradient-index lens hasshown its potential interest for CMOS pixels. The experimental performance of a dielectriclens "post-process" integrated/fabricated at LPN-CNRS and a metallic lens "in-process" by aCMOS foundy have been evaluated by electro-optical characterization. Several perspectivesof this work about lens fabrication and potential for improvement have been explored

Full textOsteoporosis and impaired bone healing are of high relevance. A promising non-invasive, non-ionizing candidate for fracture risk prediction and monitoring fracture healing is quantitative ultrasound (QUS). However, the acceptance of QUS for bone quality assessment is still not comparable to X-ray based methods. Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) and Synchrotron Radiation micro-computer tomography (SRµCT) has been used to investigate anatomical and age dependent variations of micro elastic, structural and mineralization parameters at the tissue level of human femoral bone. Femoral neck models were created based on these data for numerical sound propagation simulations emulating a transverse transmission (TT) setup of an in vivo QUS prototype. In the last part of the project the TT approach has been tested in ex vivo experiments in a rat healing model. The power of QUS, to discriminate two early healing stages has been compared to µCT measurements at the same specimens. It was found that the major contributor to bone adaptation is related to a combination of extracellular matrix elasticity and tissue porosity. It is hypothesized that these parameters are likely to have a considerable impact on the reliability of in silico models. The simulations of the second part confirmed the existence of guided wave propagation in the cortical shell and a high dependency of US parameters on fracture relevant bone properties. The results demonstrate the high potential for bone fracture risk prediction at the femoral neck using QUS. Finally, it was successfully demonstrated that early healing stage discrimination of QUS in TT was superior compared to µCT. In summary these investigations not only show the importance for a precise estimation of micro mechanical properties for numerical modelling but also demonstrate the feasibility and high potential of QUS for bone quality assessment and monitoring of fracture healing.

Full textAlgunos materiales muestran propiedades físicas, ópticas y químicas particulares a nanoescala. La nanotecnología permite al científico mejorar sus propiedades modificando la estructura de la materia en este nivel y aprovecharlas para el desarrollo de nuevos dispositivos y aplicaciones. Particularmente importante es la investigación en biosensores con el fin de obtener dispositivos más sensibles y confiables para desplegarlos en la sociedad en forma de sistemas de diagnóstico rentables y confiables. La fabricación de tales dispositivos en algunos casos implica la manipulación de la luz en estos materiales en la nanoescala, para lo cual, es necesario tener un conocimiento profundo del comportamiento óptico de la estructura. En este sentido, la elección del material apropiado es decisiva en el desarrollo de dispositivos biosensores. La alúmina anódica nanoporosa (AAN) es un material poroso autoordenado cuyas propiedades ópticas en lo visible, su gran adaptabilidad de la estructura, su capacidad para actuar como soporte o andamio de objetos pequeños y su estabilidad en condiciones biológicas lo hacen especialmente apropiado como plataforma para el desarrollo de biosensores ópticos. Los estudios teóricos sobre las propiedades ópticas de la AAN son un campo fundamental de investigación. El modelado numérico de estas propiedades permite comprender su relación con las características estructurales de la AAN, proporcionando un marco conceptual para el análisis de su comportamiento óptico. En esta tesis, hemos analizado la idoneidad y desarrollado varios modelos predictivos para las propiedades ópticas de la AAN válidos en una amplia gama de características geométricas. Posteriormente, nuestro modelo de simulación se aplicó para estudiar la idoneidad de dos tipos de estructuras AAN revestidas de oro como plataforma para el desarrollo de biosensores plasmónicos por reflectometría. Finalmente, se ha realizado un estudio teórico del comportamiento óptico mediante modelado numérico de estructuras basadas en AAN con un gradiente en el índice de refracción.
Some materials shown particular physical, optical and chemical properties at the nanoscale. The nanotechnology permits to scientist enhance their properties modifying the matter structure at this level and take advantage of them for the development of new devices and applications. Particularly important is the research in biosensing in order to obtain more sensitive and reliable devices with a view for their deployment to society in the form of cost-effective and reliable diagnostic systems. The manufacturing of such devices in some cases implies the manipulation of the light in these materials at the nanoscale, for which it implies to have a deep knowledge of the optical behaviour of the structure. In this sense, the election of the appropriate material is decisive in the development of biosensing devices. Nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) is a self-ordered porous material which their optical properties in the visible, their great tunability of the structure, their ability to act as a holder or scaffold of small objects and their stability under biological conditions make it especially appropriate as a platform for the development of optical biosensors. Theoretical studies on the NAA optical properties is a fundamental field of research. The numerical modelling of these properties permits to understand their relationship with the structural features of the NAA, providing a conceptual framework for the analysis of their optical behaviour. In this thesis, we have analyzed the suitability and developed several predictive models for the optical properties of the NAA valid in a wide range of geometrical characteristics. Subsequently our simulation model has been applied to study the suitability of two types of gold-coated NAA structures as a platform for reflectometric-based plasmonic biosensors. Finally, a theoretical study of the optical behaviour by means of numerical modelling of gradient-index NAA (NAA-GI) based structures has been performed.

Full textMålet för detta examensarbete var att undersöka möjligheten att programmera ett praktisktanvändbart verktyg för lågfrekvensanalys inom rumsakustik. Behovet uppstår från Acadserfarenhet att resultat från simuleringar med hjälp av strålgångsmjukvara avviker i lågfrekvensområdeti jämförelse med fältmätningar i färdigställda rum. Verktyget är programmerati Matlab och använder Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) metoden, vilket är en typav snabb finita elementanalys i tidsdomänen.En rad tester har genomförts för att se metodens praktiska begräsningar orsakade av numeriskafel vid val av ljudkälla, diskretisering och simuleringstid. Randvillkor, med och utanfrekvensberoende, har analyserats genom jämförelser av simulerade resultat i virtuella impedansröroch efterklangsrum mot analytiska beräkningar. Testerna visar att FDTD-metodentycks fungerar väl för verktygets tilltänkta användningsområde.Ett fälttest genomfördes för att verifiera att det med verktyget är möjligt att enkelt och relativtsnabbt simulera resultat som väl matcher uppmätta rumsakustiska parametrar. Jämförelsermellan FDTD-metoden och resultat beräknade med strålgångsanalys och finita elementmetoden(FEM) visade även på god korrelation. Detta indikerar att de avvikelser Acaderfar mellan simulerade resultat och fältmätningar troligen orsakas av osäkerheter i den ingåendeljudabsorptionsdata som används för låga frekvenser, snarare än av begränsningar istrålgångsmjukvaran. Verktyget kan fortfarande komma till användning för mer komplexamodeller, där kantdiffraktion är en viktigare faktor, eller helt enkelt som ett sätt att få ett”andra utlåtande” till resultaten från strålgångsmjukvaran då FEM-analys generellt är en förtidskrävande metod för att användas på daglig basis.Kringverktyg skapade för t.ex. import av modeller, utdata i form av rumsakustiska parametrar,grafer och ljudfiler redovisas inte i detalj i denna rapport eftersom dessa ligger utanförexamensarbetet.

"Hybridation de la FDTD à Double Grille (DG-FDTD) avec l'Optique Physique Itérative (IPO) - Application à la simulation d'antennes environnées positionnées sur des platesformes de grandes dimensions." Thesis, Rennes, INSA, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014ISAR0011/document.
Full textThis thesis aims at extending the Dual-Grid FDTD (DG-FDTD) application domain via its hybridization with the Iterative Physical Optics (IPO) method. This research was motivated by the need to evaluate accurately and efficiently the antenna pattern of surrounded antennas installed on large platforms (satellite, vehicle, space launcher). Overview on numerical method involved in this class of problem revealed DG-FDTD has interesting features. This method allows precise and efficient wide-Band simulations of surrounded antennas. However, this method remains costly for electrically large problems, especially because of its rigorous formulation. This thesis assessed the limitations of DG-FDTD and then put forward its inability to resolve antenna on platform problems. To answer this issue, a hybrid scheme combining DG-FDTD with IPO is proposed in this thesis. DG-FDTD/IPO divides the initial simulation into two successive simulations. The antenna and its vicinity are firstly analyzed with DG-FDTD, and then IPO is used to analyze the platform. The two simulations are interfaced using the equivalence principle. This new method is first validated using a canonical scenario. Then, it is applied to the computation of electromagnetic radiation pattern in two antenna on platform problems (antenna on vehicle especially). The method is then exploited to effectively analyze the radiation pattern of a surrounded antenna mounted on a platform. Two improvements are finely proposed in this thesis for DGFDTD/ IPO. The first one aims at taking into account for the backward coupling between the antenna region and the metallic platform. This improvement implies a coarse description of the antenna region in the IPO simulation. The second improvement concerns the modeling of the currents in the shadow areas of the platform. This improvement answers to the need to analyze precisely antenna-On-Launcher problems. Indeed IPO do not compute currents in shadow areas. Well, for this kind of problem, shadow areas represent almost all the platform. A new method based on IPO and called Domains Sequential Processing is proposed. This method is first validated using a canonical scenario involving a cylinder. Then it is successfully applied to the analysis of a spatial launcher

Full textIn this thesis, we present a strategy based on a hybrid approach in the timedomain, by coupling 3D method (FDTD) with a multi-conductors transmission line (MTL)method, in order to simulate complex large scale electromagnetic problems. This reportgives the theoretical and numerical elements for coupling these approaches for two kindof problems, which are the multi domains approach and the multi scale approach. Themultiple domains approach is an extension of the classical FDTD method taking into accountseveral 3D subdomains, interconnected by a wire network, on which a 1D transmission lineformalism is used. The main issues are, on one hand to have an implicit expression ofthe electromagnetic field in the transmission line approach, and on the other hand to beable to take into account the ground effects on the induced currents, on the transmissionline parameters and on the electromagnetic field. The multi scale approach is developed toextend the capabilities of FDTD to deal with complex cables routing. We assume that thecross section of the cables are smallest than the cell size, and in these problems, the 1Dtransmission line problem is physically included in the 3D global computational domain.The work done in this thesis leaded to a new field to transmission line coupling based onthe common mode current, and an evaluation of the transmission. line parameters basedon a Laplace equation resolution in 2D. In this work, we have elaborated and proposedefficient numerical strategies for the computation of electromagnetic induced effects on largeand complex sites, composed of several interconnected distant buildings. An application tolightning problems have been done

Full textIn order to overcome this weakness, two multiscale classification methods were developed in Chapter 5, a power spectrum eigenvector approach with Wavelet transform-Linear Discriminant Analysis (WLDA) and a power spectrum eigenvector approach with Wavelet transform-Artificial Neural Network (WANN). Both methods were tested on calibrated media, also known as tissue mimicking phantoms, as well as on synthetically generated media. The data from synthetically generated media were obtained by a three Dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain method (3D FDTD). Both multiscale classification methods performed as well as the LDA method in classifying pure white matter and pure gray matter but they performed better than the LDA in transition regions. The successful classification rates in transition regions were 88% for white matter and 86% for gray matter using WLDA and 89% for white matter and 88% for gray matter using WANN.

Full textThe main goal of this research is to study the various problems associated with the scale-up of the microwave-assisted extraction and synthesis processes. Laboratory studies were carried out to investigate the microwave-assisted extraction of known components from peppermint leaves and American ginseng. Various factors that influence the extraction processes were studied. Microwave-assisted extraction method was compared with conventional heating and room temperature extraction methods on the extraction of ginsenosides from American ginseng. Microwave-assisted extraction method was determined to have higher extraction rate than both room temperature extraction and reflux temperature extraction using hotplate heating indicating that there is acceleration factor in enhancing the extraction rate beyond the temperature influence.
In the study of synthesizing n-butyl paraben, microwave-assisted synthesis was observed to greatly increase the yield of n-butyl paraben in much shorter period of time compared to the classic synthesis method. A transition state theory was proposed to explain this rate enhancement. The study of the synthesis of parabens with different alcohol and the influencing factors on the synthesis of n-butyl paraben yield were also studied.
A visualization method was developed to determine the microwave distribution in a domestic microwave cavity. The method uses gypsum plate as carrier and cobalt chloride as indictor. A simulation program was developed using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) approach and written in C programming language. The program was proved to be very versatile in different type of cavity simulation. Not only cavities with different dimensions and geometrical designs can be simulated, multiple magnetrons and various ways of magnetron placement can also be integrated into the simulation program. The detailed power distribution can be visualized in a 3-D plot, and the power distribution in each layer can be analyzed using the simulation result. The power distribution information will be very useful and necessary before any real equipment development.

Full textAfter the introduction of the finite-difference time-domain method (fdtd), several advanced methods are given. We focused on sequential approaches that enables the overall analysis to be divided into two different fdtd simulations. These approaches require a large data exchange. We propose a new near-field data compression technique that reduces the near-field data file by 99%. Then, a new fdtd scheme for the fast simulation of surrounded antennas is presented : the dual-grid fdtd (dg-fdtd). With the dg-fdtd, the antenna is analysed alone with a fine fdtd simulation, then its primary radiation acts as the excitation of a coarsely meshed fdtd volume that includes both the antenna and its environment. The dg-fdtd is applied to the simulation of realistic structures. Finally, two simple hybrid techniques, easy to implement, are presented. They are based on the hybridisation of the dg-fdtd and the mr-fdtd

Full textThis thesis aims at developing new Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) schemes for the fast and accurate simulation of Wireless Body Area Network problems. This emerging technology consists of several body sensors placed on or inside the body. The application range is wide. It concerns medical, entertainment and military domains. The FDTD is an efficient numerical technique for analysing waves propagation in complex environments such as the human body. However, it involves a uniform cubic grid, which leads to time consuming simulations. Two multigrid FDTD schemes are proposed in this thesis. They are based on the principle of dividing the general problem into independent FDTD sub-volumes which aim at characterising each element with an appropriate mesh. The electromagnetic information transfer is realised by the use of near-field and excitation surfaces. Thus, the proposed schemes are stable. These approaches are first validated using canonical examples. Then, they are applied to the simulation of complex and more realistic problems. The transmission between an implanted antenna and a simple dipole is firstly analysed. Several body postures and environment are considered. The WBAN on-body channel is then characterised by use of two antennas placed on the body surface. Finally, the specific absorption rate is calculated at 900 MHz in the fetal brain of a numerical pregnant woman model

This work presents a theoretical and numerical analysis of structures using frequency selective surfaces applied on patch antennas. The FDTD method is used to determine the time domain reflected fields. Applications of frequency selective surfaces and patch antennas cover a wide area of telecommunications, especially mobile communications, filters and WB antennas. scattering parameters are obteained from Fourier Transformer of transmited and reflected fields in time domain. The PML are used as absorbing boundary condition, allowing the determination of the fields with a small interference of reflections from discretized limit space. Rectangular patches are considered on dielectric layer and fed by microstrip line. Frequency selective surfaces with periodic and quasi-periodic structures are analyzed on both sides of antenna. A literature review of the use of frequency selective surfaces in patch antennas are also performed. Numerical results are also compared with measured results for return loss of analyzed structures. It is also presented suggestions of continuity to this work

Full textRigorous numerical methods are used to compute an accurate wideband radar cross section (RCS) evaluation of large complex targets. Among these, finite differences in time domain method is appropriated for the wideband characteristic and also to obtain a transient responses of the target. The Yee scheme, known historically as an FDTD scheme for Maxwell equations, is hindered by two crucial weak points: numerical dispersion which imposes a high mesh resolution; and staircase approximation of curve geometry which deteriorates results quality. High-order space differential operator for FDTD schemes have been investigated to limit numerical dispersion errors. In this thesis, the Conservative Modified FDTD(2,4) scheme has been developed and its performance has shown very accurate results with reasonable workload for RCS computation. Relating to curve geometry modeling problem, metallic edges modeling is still an unsolved problem for FDTD(2,4) schemes with enlarged stencil. Conformal techniques have been developed for the Yee scheme and has been studied for FDTD(2,4) to accurately model curve geometry. We propose a new approach based on oblique thin wire model to model metallic surfaces. RCS computations of several targets have shown that this method is promising

Full textThis thesis is a contribution to the optical properties study of plasmonic structures composed by metallic nanoparticles. This study is based on numerical simulation results obtained by the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD).The first part of this work is related to the analysis of gold nanowires periodic arrays, which section is rectangular, placed in a multi-layered dielectric environment. The influence of the nanowires geometrical parameters, of the array period and of the dielectric thickness covering the nanowires on the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) spectral position has been explored. This study especially demonstrated that the resonance wavelength oscillates when the dielectric thickness covering the nanowires is varying. A simple analytical model has been developed in order to better understand the oscillations origin. The influence of the refractive indexes of the dielectric matrix on the oscillation parameters has been analyzed too.The second part of this work concerns the determination and the study of factors controlling LSPR sensors sensitivity. Different shapes of nanoparticles and different kinds of nanowires have been considered. Moreover, three wide topics have been approached in this part:- the influence of the nanoparticles substrate on the sensitivity,- the influence of the material covering the nanoparticles on the sensitivity and,- the origin of the relationship between the LSPR wavelentgh and the refractive index sensitivity of the nanoparticles

Full textLight trapping is a phenomenon initially observed in the nature. With the advent of new technologies, it is undergoing a strong evolution today. This ability to absorb light has become essential for a growing number of applications, in particular photovoltaics. One of these methods is the fabrication of nanostructures on the material surface.The main objective of this PhD is to develop a process for modifying the surface of silicon (called Black Silicon) at room temperature by plasma etching which will be integrated onto a photovoltaic cell surface. To achieve this goal, the thesis work took place in three stages around the realization of Black Silicon (BS) absorbing more than 99% of light on large surfaces, then on the design and manufacturing of a photovoltaic cell (with a yield of 13%), the last step concerns the passivation of the BSIn conclusion, the surface nanostructuring of Silicon, by the process that we have developed and the proof of concept carried out on photovoltaic cells with interdigitated back contacts, offer numerous perspectives in the field of energy harvesting and solar conversion but also in imaging
