In this work, an analysis is presented for a 3-dimensional RF MEMS coil using the COMSOL AC/DC module in conjunction with the CAD import module. The realization of being able to produce such 3-dimensional RF coils allows for less surface area to be needed for similar inductor performance ... En savoir plus

This article reports the design of a high-power ultrasound system, capable of emitting acoustic radiation at 20kHz with SPL peaks up to 160dB at a distance of up to 1m. The main problem of high power airborne ultrasonic systems lies in the acoustic impedance mismatch between the radiator ... En savoir plus

This work develops a methodology based on the application of finite element method in the frequency domain: the purpose is to evaluate electromagnetic parameters of a pot-core inductor. The knowledge of the electromagnetic parameter is very important for several reasons, for example it ... En savoir plus

Mathematical modeling and simulation of electrical fields through the human skin provide important insights into its electrophysiological state. As the human skin is a complex multi-layer entity of different compositions, we have chosen to select representative material properties to ... En savoir plus

For medical diagnostic purposes there is an increasing need for non-(or minimal) invasive techniques to measure all kinds of parameters that can provide insight in the functioning of cells, organs or organ systems. Currently, Impedance Cardiography (ICG) is used for measurements of the ...

Common mode chokes are good EMI filters in electronic power systems [1]. For such devices, values for their impedance are critical to their performances as noise filters. In this study, a two-step finite element approach is employed to study the impedance variations of a ferrite-core ... En savoir plus

One way to extract piezoelectric material data from measurements is to utilize vibrational eigenmodes of block-shaped test specimens (Rupitsch 2015). Within a simulation-aided approach this results in optimizing the values of the material data parameters to fit the experimental result, ... En savoir plus

An implementation of the Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) forward problem in a generalist FEM package is presented. It fulfils the complete electrode model boundary conditions, combining current injection with contact impedance on a single boundary. Our implementation is benchmarked ... En savoir plus

Microwave impedance microscopy (MIM) is a novel mode of atomic force microscopy that can measure topography and local electrical impedance simultaneously and with nanometer spatial resolution [1]. This technique is typically used qualitatively, identifying defects in nanodevices or ... En savoir plus

The RF matching network is a critical component positioned between the RF generator and the plasma chamber, designed to transform the plasma impedance to a value suitable for the RF generator. Because the matching network design must be highly customized based on the specific conditions ... En savoir plus
