Analysis of EM scattering in Waveguide Filter using Neural Network
This paper discusses the application of Neural Network (NN) technique in the modeling of a typical electromagnetic (EM) field scattering problem in a waveguide filter structure [1]. The structure under consideration is a rectangular waveguide with four dielectric circular rod inserted symmetrically. The Neural Network takes into consideration the geometrical and material parameters of the EM model of the structure and the reflection coefficient values for different frequencies in the frequency band of interest. The Neural Network is trained off line using training data sets generated by the image theory. The work is to find out an acceptable Neural Network model of the waveguide structure having four dielectric post, verification using Method of moment by simulation and the corresponding filter structure practically implemented in hardware for verification.
Analysis of Electromagnetic Bandgap Based Filters in a Rectangular Waveguide
Electromagnetic crystals formed by vertical full posts stacked in a rectangular waveguide are analyzed using the image theory and the lattice sums technique. It is shown that the frequency response of the crystals consisting of circular posts can be obtained by a simpler matrix calculus based on the one-dimensional lattice sums, the T-matrix of a circular cylinder in free space, and the generalized reflection and transmission matrices.
Evaluation of antioxidants by a rapid polarographic method
A simple, rapid, precise, and reproducible method and an adaptable apparatus for polarographic measurement of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity is described. This method measures antioxidant activity within a few min time as compared to the hours or days needed for several widely used methods. Peroxidation rates were measured for different lipids as a function of amount of lipid, and amount of biocatalyst. The method is applicable to the detection and measurement of the antioxidant effects exhibited by weak antioxidants and has been satisfactorily used for the measurement of the antioxidant activity of different concentrations of powerful antioxidants.
