In this paper, a modified finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is proposed for the rapid analysis of a Hertzian dipole source in the low-frequency band. The FDTD technique is one of the most widely used methods for interpreting high-resolution problems such as those associated with the human body. However, this method has been difficult to use in the low-frequency band as the required number of iterations has increased significantly in such cases. To avoid this problem, FDTD techniques using quasi-static assumptions in low-frequency bands were used. However, this method was applied only to plane wave excitation, making it difficult to apply to near-field problems. Therefore, a modified approach is proposed, involving the application of the FDTD technique with a quasi-static approximation to an electric and magnetic dipole problem. The results when using the proposed method are in good agreement with those from a theoretical solution. An example of comparison with the standard FDTD method is shown for illustrating the proposed method’s performance. Full article

This paper examined the impact of optical fiber sensor design, and its integration to PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sheet piles, on deflection and strain monitoring. Optical fiber sensors based on Brillouin light backscattering (BLS) were prepared, as they can provide accurate strain and deflection measurement results. However, depending on the application of sheet piles systems, high deformation of PVC elements can be observed. Therefore, a fiber sensor design is not trivial. Three types of optical fiber coatings and their integration with PVC sheet piles were investigated. The effect on the value of compressive and tensile strain were analyzed. It has been experimentally proven that PVC sheet piles monitoring, based on BLS method, can be realized using optical fibers with 250 µm, 900 µm, and 3 mm coating diameter. Achieved results are in line with theory. Correction coefficient necessary for 900 µm and 3 mm coatings has been proposed and used to ensure proper strain measurement. It was found that 250 µm coating fiber based sensors can be utilized for PVC strain measurement under low deflection (>1.2 m beam length). On the other hand, sensors based on 3 mm coating fiber, due to a high level of linearity, can be applied to deflection distance measurement under high deformation. Full article

This article investigates the issue of measuring high-power microwave (HPM) pulses. The high energy of these pulses poses a significant threat to many electronic systems, including those used to manage critical infrastructure. This work focuses on requirements for a potential portable measurement device and suggests the application of a method for this purpose, involving the use of a D-dot sensor and a rapid A/D converter. The applied converter enables recording the time waveform on the measuring chain output, also in the case of repetition and time duration of HPM signals. The authors also present a quantitative description of signal processing by the analogue section of the measurement chain solution presented herein and suggest algorithms for digital processing of the signals, the objective of which is to minimize low-frequency interference in the process of reconstructing the time waveform of an electric field using numerical integration.

This article presents an ablative method of cutting masks from ultra-thin metal foils using nanosecond laser pulses. As a source of laser radiation, a pulsed fiber laser with a wavelength of 1062 nm with the duration of pulses from 15 to 220 nanoseconds (ns), was used in the research. The masks were made of stainless-steel foil with thicknesses of 30 µm, 35 µm, and 120 µm. Channels of different lengths from 50 to 300 µm were tested. The possibilities and limitations of the presented method are described. The optimization of the cutting process parameters was performed using the experiment planning techniques. A static, determined complete two-level plan (SP/DC 24) was used. On the basis of the analysis of the test structures, we designed and produced precise shading masks used in the process of organic field effect transistor (OFET) electrode evaporation. The ablative method proved suitable to produce masks with canals of minimum lengths of 70 µm. It offers facile, fast, and economically viable shadow mask fabrication for organic electronics applications, which moreover might enable fast prototyping and circuit design. Full article

The paper presents an analysis of the influence of microcracks in textronic conductive layers on their conductive properties. The tested structures were created in the physical vacuum deposition process. The paper presents the results of computer simulations of the current flow field in thin conductive stripes with defects distributed along a line perpendicular to the stripe axis and randomly placed on its entire surface. It was found, inter alia, that a larger number of shorter collinear defects may have many times lower resistance than a small number of longer defects of the same total length (e.g., with 40 collinear cracks with a total length of 90% of the strip width, the sheet resistance is only about 3% greater compared to a track without cracks). It was found that the percolation threshold of the tested models with square proportions and randomly selected defects is close to the value of 0.5. This is consistent with the theoretical calculations for analogous discrete models with infinite sizes. It was also found that the sheet resistance of the conductive strip with randomly distributed defects clearly depends on its length when the defect concentration exceeds 20%. The simulations were carried out on the basis of the integral equation method, with the solution presented in the form of double layer potentials. Full article
