Stability and Limit Oscillations of a Control Event-Based Sampling Criterion

This paper investigates the presence of limit oscillations in an adaptive sampling system. The basic sampling criterion operates in the sense that each next sampling occurs when the absolute difference of the signal amplitude with respect to its currently sampled signal equalizes a prescribed threshold amplitude. The sampling criterion is extended involving a prescribed set of amplitudes. The limit oscillations might be interpreted through the equivalence of the adaptive sampling and hold device with a nonlinear one consisting of a relay with multiple hysteresis whose parameterization is, in general, dependent on the initial conditions of the dynamic system. The performed study is performed on the time domain.

Metamaterialen simulazioa FDTD metodoaren bidez

Azken urteetan metamaterialek izugarrizko arreta eragin dute. Material artifizial horiek hainbat aplikazio ezberdin izateko diseinatzen dira eta horretarako, ikerkuntza haien propietate elektromagnetikoak ulertzean zentratu da. Lan honen helburua, hortaz, metamaterialen jokabide elektromagnetikoa ulertzea da. Horretarako, FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) metodoa erabiliko dugu Maxwell-en ekuazioak ebazteko. Oinarria ulertzeko, lehenik, uhin elektromagnetikoen hedapena aztertuko dugu ingurune sinpleagoetan eta ingurune desberdinen arteko muga-azalen jokabidea simulatuko dugu. Hori egin eta gero, amaitzeko, uhin elektromagnetikoen hedapena aztertuko dugu errefrakzio-indize negatiboko materialetan (metamaterialetan).
