In this paper, we propose a novel structure using different code system division multiple access (DCSDMA) for an optical communication system and a design algorithm to increase the system capacity. This DCSDMA system can transmit two kinds of code systems (for example, the prime code of 7 and 3, respectively). This multicode architecture can improve the theoretical system capacity from P72 to P72+5∗P32. In this paper, we propose an optimal design method to find the simultaneous capacity X%∗72+Y%∗5∗32. X% and Y% are the successful percentages determined by the simulation results. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 21: 291–295, 1999. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the hybrid implicit–explicit finite-difference time-domain (HIE-FDTD) algorithm for a two-dimensional (2D) TE wave is extended to a full three-dimensional (3D) wave. The weakly conditional stability is verified by numerical simulation results. Numerical formulations of the 3D HIE-FDTD method are presented and simulation results are compared to those using the conventional 3D finite-difference time-domain method. High computation efficiency is obtained by introducing an unequal space increment in different dimensions in the HIE-FDTD method. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In FDTD simulations, the excitation sources can be divided into two categories: (i) the displacement-current source, which is generated by a time-varying electric field; (ii) the induced-current source, which exists in the lossy material. Currently, the latter source is the popular choice in most FDTD simulations. However, there are two problems with the use of this source: the time signal shape at the observation points is different from that of the input pulse, and an artificial DC component is introduced into the solution that prevents the solution from converging to zero. The objective of this paper is to investigate these excitation sources and to clarify some concepts in FDTD simulations. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, an efficient numerical simulation technique is introduced to extract the propagation characteristics of interconnects over lossy substrate structures. This approach is based on a compact-form FDFD method in conjunction with the two-step Lanczos (TSL) technique. The efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm are demonstrated through the simulation of several lossy transmission-line structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An amplitude approaching algorithm (AAA) for the pattern synthesis of adaptive arrays is presented in this paper. Furthermore, the algorithm is amended by the Newton downhill method. Simulations show that the main lobe and side lobe can be controlled efficiently, and the algorithm converges more quickly and steadily. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Thompson–FDTD method, which combines the differential-Thompson transformation involved in hydromechanics with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, is introduced to simulate the electromagnetic scattering properties of arbitrarily shaped dielectric media in this paper. This method has at least two obvious advantages. First, it is able to transform an arbitrarily shaped body into a regular structure which accurately matches the boundary conditions; second, the mesh arrangement can be adjusted according to the scatterer's shape to achieve better numerical accuracy. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The analysis and simulation of conformal microstrip antennas on arbitrary curved surfaces are always a difficult task. The complexity of the electromagnetic equations and the cost of real experiments plead in favor of new kinds of simulations. This paper presents a fast and accurate symbolic algorithm allowing the analysis and synthesis of spherical microstrip antennas. Comparison with experiments and theoretical results of other authors are discussed. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 20: 274–280, 1999. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The interconnections used in packaging of modern circuits introduce the delays that are comparable or even greater than the delays of gates. This causes the degradation of overall system performance. One may choose to solve the problem of delay by increasing the density of the system. This however, introduces the problem of "crosstalk." The analysis of delay and crosstalk in a system of interconnections requires the use of computer simulation. This paper introduces a very efficient and flexible timedomain analysis technique to predict the reflections and crosstalks. Numerical results show that this technique is indeed efficient and accurate in the transient analysis of general multiple coupled-line systems. The algorithm yields an equivalent linear hybrid n-port network for the interconnection system that facilitates the analysis of interconnections together with driving and receiving circuits with the aid of standard network analyzers like, for example, SPICE.

In this paper, three-dimensional optical computerized tomography in the case of severely incomplete projection data is discussed theoretically and experimentally. An orthogonal projection method has been proposed for optical tomography in the case of severely incomplete data. Some comparative numerical simulations and experimental results of traditional sampling method and the new method are given. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 31: 57–59, 2001.
