Designing infrared travelling-wave antennas for environmental sensing by Priyadarshni Manivannan

“…This project researches on an appropriate metamaterial configurationfor the antenna, dependence of frequency splitting on strength of target scatterer and how to steer the system into exceptional point. Then, the perturbation strength of a target scatterer is calculated using MATLABand finally, COMSOL simulation software is used to simulate the cross section of such a nano-antenna that is able to detect changes in the gas molecules in the air. …”

A Trajectory Piecewise-Linear Approach to Model Order Reduction and Fast Simulation of Nonlinear Circuits and Micromachined Devices by RewieÅ ski, MichaÅ

“…In this paper we present an approach to the nonlinear model reduction based on representing the nonlinear system with a piecewise-linear system and then reducing each of the pieces with a Krylov projection. However, rather than approximating the individual components to make a system with exponentially many different linear regions, we instead generate a small set of linearizations about the state trajectory which is the response to a 'training input'. …”
