A Novel Method for Analyzing An Antenna in the Vicinity of a Bi-Anisotropic Body of Arbitrary Shape Without Finding the Dyadic Green's Functions

Description

To meet the ever-increasing public demand, exotic materials are used to enhance wireless communications in quantity and in quality. Rapid development is hampered by the lack of analytical method for assessing many antenna configurations that involve a bi-isotropic or a bi-anisotropic body of arbitrary shape because the needed dyadic Green's functions cannot be derived in a non-Cartesian coordinate system. Addressing this issue, a novel method has been developed to circumvent the bottleneck. By reformulating the wave equations, the complex configuration is simplified to a standalone antenna in free space, and therefore finding an acceptably accurate solution is guaranteed. Development of this method enables the special properties of bi-anisotropic materials be utilized in multi-disciplinary areas. As the new method is a "one-size-fit-all" method for treating all loaded antennas, it will have a profound effect in the relevant industry and, of course, the academic community.
