Consequently, broad-band and multi- band applications are renewing the interest in the synthesis and design of novel planar ultra-wideband devices with enhanced capabilities. In this context, inverse scattering techniques for the synthesis of high performance passive microwave devices, emerge as a pertinent and timely subject. Inverse scattering theory is widely used throughout many areas of physics and deals with determining the characteristics of a medium from the limited knowledge of the fields propagating through that medium. In the particular case of electromagnetic theory, the inverse scattering problem is concerned with finding the electrical properties of a medium from the associated scattering data such as, the reflection or transmission coefficients. It is the objective of this thesis to present a solid working base regarding direct scat- tering and inverse scattering subjects and also to push the current boundary regarding the synthesis of high performance structures by introducing innovative methods/proce- dures, tools and novel microwave passive devices based on the inverse scattering theory. This thesis addresses an in-depth analysis of numerical and analytical direct scatter- ing methods as well as a complete analysis regarding inverse scattering procedures and methods. As a major contribution from this work, a new theoretical framework regard- ing the parallelism between discrete nonuniform transmission lines and digital filters is established opening new frontiers on the synthesis of microwave devices through inverse scattering. Finally, several microwave passive devices have been designed employing the pro- posed inverse scattering techniques and validated through both numerical and electro- magnetic simulations as well as by experimental measurements. xi Sum´ario Nos dias de hoje s~aocada vez maiores os requisitos de d´ebito dos sistemas de comu- nica¸c~oessem fios exigindo o recurso a tecnologias de micro-ondas cada vez mais r´apidas, fi´aveis e dispon´ıveis.

Abstract The design (synthesis) of an analog electrical circuit entails the creation of both the topology and sizing (numerical values) of all of the circuit's components. There has previously been no general automated technique for automatically creating the design for an analog electrical circuit from a high-level statement of the circuit's desired behavior. This paper shows how genetic programming can be used to automate the design of eight prototypical analog circuits, including a lowpass filter, a highpass filter, a bandstop filter, a tri- state frequency discriminator circuit, a frequency-measuring circuit, a 60 dB amplifier, a computational circuit for the square root function, and a time-optimal robot controller circuit. 1. Introduction Design is a major activity of practicing mechanical, electrical, civil, and aeronautical engineers. The design process entails creation of a 2 complex structure to satisfy user-defined requirements.

    Human-competitive Applications of Genetic Programming John R. Koza Stanford Medical Informatics, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, Department of Electrical Engineering, School of Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305 E-mail: [email protected] Summary: Genetic programming is an automatic technique for producing a computer program that solves, or approximately solves, a problem. This chapter reviews several recent examples of human-competitive results produced by genetic programming. The examples all involve the automatic synthesis of a complex structure from a high-level statement of the requirements for the structure. The illustrative results include examples of automatic synthesis of both the topology and sizing (component values) for analog electrical circuits, automatic synthesis of placement and routing (as well as topology and sizing) for circuits, and automatic synthesis of both the topology and tuning (parameter values) of controllers. 1 Introduction Genetic programming is an automatic technique for producing a computer program that solves, or approximately solves, a problem. Genetic programming addresses the challenge of getting a computer to solve a problem without explicitly programming it. This challenge calls for an automatic system whose input is a high-level statement of a problem’s requirements and whose output is a working program that solves the problem. Paraphrasing Arthur Samuel (1959), this challenge concerns, “How can computers be made to do what needs to be done, without being told exactly how to do it?” Since many problems can be easily recast as a search for a computer program, genetic programming can potentially solve a wide range of types of problems, including problems of control, classification, system identification, and design.

In the field of communication signal is the time varying quantity or functions of time and they are interrelated by a set of different equations, but some times processing of signal is corrupted due to adding some noise in the information signal and the information signal become noisy. It is very important to get the information from cor- rupted signal as we use filters. In this paper, Butterworth filter is designed for the signal analysis and also compared with other filters. It has maximally flat response in the pass band otherwise no ripples in the pass band. To meet the specification, 6th order Butterworth filter was chosen be- cause it is flat in the pass band and has no amount of ripples in the stop band.

  • A 1980 Paper by Gray on the Same Subject. He Discusses Earlier Work
    Reviews / Historia Mathematica 35 (2008) 47–60 53 a 1980 paper by Gray on the same subject. He discusses earlier work on the rotation of rigid bodies beginning with Euler and notes that Rodrigues’s aim was to draw attention to rigid body motions as an important object of study. He argues that though the mathematical community was not aware of it, Rodrigues’s paper did, in fact, both make use of the idea of transformation groups and display a clear concern for the issue of noncommutativity of composition of rotations. These fundamental concepts were rediscovered independently, but Rodrigues’s work, due to lack of readership, remained unknown for some time. Eduardo Ortiz takes up the theme of later research on rotations in the final chapter. Following Hamilton’s discovery of quaternions in 1843, rotations were studied principally using this tool. Ortiz gives a nontechnical account focusing on their reception in the French context. This was a gradual process that began to bloom in the 1870s, due to the interests of Hoüel, Allégret, and others. Ortiz also provides an interesting picture of the next generations of Rodrigues’s mathematical family members: Hermite, Picard, and Borel are among them. Two other chapters, by Richard Askey and Ulrich Tamm, investigate details of other aspects of Rodrigues’s mathematical work. Askey draws a mathematical connection between one of Rodrigues’s formulae for Legendre polynomials and a later combinatorial result obtained by Rodrigues. He concludes that Rodrigues would likely have been surprised by this connection, an observation which underlines the primarily mathematical character of this pa- per.

The design of filters therefore is crucial in the study of electronics. This thesis aims to explore the design of three different types of Lowpass Butterworth filter namely Lumped element, Stepped Impedance and Stubs designs, and then compare and contrast their various stimulated responses and actual responses. This paper gives a rather brief but succinct theoretical framework and, where necessary, some historical background to the subjects and focuses more on the design. There is a great amount of literature on the in-depth mathematical and design identities used in this paper. This thesis utilizes the available knowledge for the designs. The filters were designed with specific given parameters employing the NI AWR software for design and simulation. Finally, the designed layouts were printed using of a PCB printing machine and analyzed using a network analyzer. The results obtained weren’t as expected, the Lumped element design produced an unexpected accurate
