A new algorithm is proposed, leveraging a 3D multipole expansions of the electromagnetic fields, to accurately determine the operational range of a radiative near-field on-body radio-frequency identification (RFID) system based on its far field radiation patterns, simulated or measured, under realistic deployment conditions. We illustrate the advocated method by an interrogating 866 MHz standard gain horn (SGH) and a passive eighth-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) textile antenna deployed on an arm. The resulting algorithm is order 107 times faster than full-wave software, largely outperforms the range calculation via the traditional far field link method and it is capable of very accurately predicting the exchanged power.
Valley filtering in 8-Pmmn borophene based on an electrostatic waveguide constriction
Materials with tilted Dirac cones, such as 8-Pmmn borophene, are being explored for valleytronic applications as the tilting direction is different for nonequivalent valleys. In
