Microwave hyperthermia (HT) offers a promising approach to cancer treatment by selectively heating tumors to temperatures between 42-44°C, enhancing the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy [1]. To effectively treat deep-seated and sub-superficial tumors, state-of-the-art clinical ... Read More
The electromagnetic study for the design of microwave ovens requires knowledge of the electric permittivities of the materials within the chamber. In some cases, data can be easily obtained from the literature, as with Teflon, Mica, and borosilicate glass. However, for more advanced ... Read More
The contamination of food products with low water contents is a safety issue that cannot be disregarded. Despite their low water activity, they are indeed susceptible to infection by micro-organisms that are highly resistant to heat. In this case, conventional pasteurisation techniques ... Read More
Obtaining a good coverage of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) service, in the 200 MHz band, in motorway tunnels is quite a challenging task. Recently, Rai Research Centre (CRITS) has been involved in investigating alternative (and cheaper) solutions than those adopted so far (radiating ... Read More
Particle In Cell (PIC) simulation tool for the simulation of 2.45GHz ECR ion source was developed tanks to Comsol Multiphysics RF module capability to compute electromagnetic field propagation imposing a tensorial permittivity with real and complex parts. A tensorial description is ... Read More
Due to the increase on the academic and industrial interest on thermal energy storage (TES) systems, the EU Horizon project HYSTORE is developing 4 different solutions. In these solutions, the use of thermochemical materials (TCM) and phase-change materials (PCM) are proposed. We ... Read More
This work reports the application of topology optimization for the design of two types of metallic antennas that are very different from each other: a leaky-wave antenna (LWA) radiating at broadside, and an epidermal patch antenna, optimized to favor radiation coupling into the human ... Read More
We present the design and performance simulations for a microwave cavity for use in novel compact cold atom atomic clocks. Design goals for such a microwave cavity are a resonance frequency at the Rubidium ground-state transition frequency of 6.835 GHz, combined with a moderate quality ... Read More
Metasurface (MTS) antennas are based on the use of special types of scattering surfaces patterned at a sub-wavelength scale with electrically small metallic dielectric inclusions, usually called unit cells [O. Quevedo-Teruel et al., Journal of Optics, vol. 21, 2019]. The radiation ... Read More
INTRODUCTION The coupling of the Schrödinger and Maxwell equations allows to predict the self-generated electromagnetic (EM) field for a quantum charged particle moving in a domain. Such problem is really challenging, and it must be investigated in order to simulate the behavior of a ... Read More
