[1]Department of Radiology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
[2]General Electric Healthcare Coils, Aurora, Ohio, USA

MRI offers many advantages over other modalities and its lack of ionizing radiation is important for children, but can be limited by the radio-frequency (RF) coils available. This work calculates Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and homogeneity of the RF transmit field (B1+) when imaging ... Read More

Thermal Design of Power Electronic Devices and Modules

Optimal Utilization of Railgun

N. R. Mahajan[1], S. B. Patel[1], Z. A. Khan[1]
[1]Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India

Railgun is an electrically-powered gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along magnetic metal rails. Various factors increase the projectile velocity. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. While increasing the projectile velocity, one has to keep in mind the ... Read More

Chemical Reaction Under Highly Precise Microwave Irradiation

S. Fujii[1], Y. Wada[2]
[1]Chiba University, Chiba, Japan
[2]Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan

Chemical reactions conducted under microwave irradiation have high reaction rates and high selectivity, but these reaction rates are not always reproducible. To achieve reproducibility, a solid-state microwave source with an ultra precise oscillator, high power amplifier module (HPA), ... Read More

Tunable MEMS Capacitor for mm and μm Wave Generation

Arpita Das[1], Amrita Nandy[1], Sakuntala Mahapatra[1], Sk. Mohammed Ali[1], Minu samantary[1]
[1]National MEMS design centre ,Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, Trident Academy of Technology, Biju Pattnaik University of Technology , India

This paper demonstrates the design of a tunable MEMS capacitor with two plates (one movable and one fixed). The response time obtained is 5μs. The tunable capacitor plays an important role in RF circuits. We focus on a tunable capacitor simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. In an ... Read More

动电阻抗成像方法仿真研究

李士强 [1], 刘国强 [1], 李晓南 [1],
[1] 中国科学院电工研究所

电阻抗成像（EIT）技术由于分辨率较低受到专家学者的诟病，而EIT与超声技术两者的结合以及 EIT 与磁共振技术两者的结合可以提高成像的分辨率，但仍分别存在电极射频屏蔽效应以及分辨率难以进一步提高等问题。本文将磁共振成像技术和磁声电技术优势互补，采用低频振动进行激励，提出了一种新的动电成像方法，并采用 COMSOL 软件建立了二维仿真模型，使用 PDE 模式对动电阻抗成像的正问题进行了仿真研究，利用 COMSOL 的仿真结果结合Matlab软件进行了反演，实验结果可以反映出仿真模型内部的电导率分布，能够解决上述电阻抗成像结合技术存在的问题。 Read More

Prediction of the Loudspeaker Total Harmonics Distortion Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

F. Malbos [1], M. Bogdanski [2], M. Strauss [2],
[1] Harman, Paris, France
[2] Harman Becker Automotive Systems, Straubing, Germany

For automotive applications, simulation methods are used to get the best audio acoustic performance. Because a loudspeaker is a non linear device, the sound pressure in the vehicle includes harmonics which are mainly created by the force factor, suspension stiffness and voice coil ... Read More

Hybrid FEM-BEM Approach for Two- and Three-Dimensional Open Boundary Magnetostatic Problems

A.Weddemann[1], D. Kappe[2], and A. Hütten[2]
[1]Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA, USA
[2]Department of Physics, Thin Films and Physics of Nanostructures, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany

In principal, the calculation of the magnetic state inside a magnetic object requires the evaluation of the field in the entire unbounded space. With finite element methods restricted to finite domains, commonly auxiliary domains are employed which result in a non-physical cut-off. Not ... Read More

Modeling of Susceptor Assisted Microwave Heating in Domestic Ovens

K. Pitchai[1], S. Birla[2], J. Diamond Raj[3], J. Subbiah[2], and D. Jones[2]
[1]Dept. of Food Science and Technology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE
[2]Dept. of Biological Systems Engineering, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE
[3]Indian Institute of Crop Processing Technology, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India

Susceptors are very thin metallic microwave absorbing films used in microwaveable food packaging. They tend to heat up very rapidly during microwave heating and this effect helps to overcome two major issues faced in domestic microwave ovens; 1) Non-uniform heating and 2) lack of ... Read More
