COMPARISON OF PARTIAL SHADING LOSSES IN FREE FIELD PV-PLANTS WITH DIFFERENT ARRAY CONFIGURATIONS

A common problem when planning large free field PV-plants is optimizing the ground occupation ratio while maintaining low shading losses. Due to the complexity of this task, several PV-plants have been built using various configurations. In order to compare the shading losses of different PV technologies and array designs, empirical performance data of five free field PV-plants operating in Germany was analyzed. The data collected comprised 140 winter days from October 2011 until March 2012. The relative shading losses were estimated by comparing the energy output of selected arrays in the front rows (shading-free) against that of shaded arrays in the back rows of the same plant. The results showed that landscape mounting with mc-Si PV-modules yielded significantly better results than portrait one. With CIGS modules, making cross-table strings using the lower modules was not beneficial as expected and had more losses than a one-string-per-table layout. Parallel substrings with CdTe showed relatively low losses. Among the two CdTe products analyzed, none showed a significantly better performance.

Desenvolvimento de arquitetura para sistemas de reconhecimento automático de voz baseados em modelos ocultos de Markov

Este trabalho foi realizado dentro da área de reconhecimento automático de voz (RAV). Atualmente, a maioria dos sistemas de RAV é baseada nos modelos ocultos de Markov (HMMs) [GOM 99] [GOM 99b], quer utilizando-os exclusivamente, quer utilizando-os em conjunto com outras técnicas e constituindo sistemas híbridos. A abordagem estatística dos HMMs tem mostrado ser uma das mais poderosas ferramentas disponíveis para a modelagem acústica e temporal do sinal de voz. A melhora da taxa de reconhecimento exige algoritmos mais complexos [RAV 96]. O aumento do tamanho do vocabulário ou do número de locutores exige um processamento computacional adicional. Certas aplicações, como a verificação de locutor ou o reconhecimento de diálogo podem exigir processamento em tempo real [DOD 85] [MAM 96]. Outras aplicações tais como brinquedos ou máquinas portáveis ainda podem agregar o requisito de portabilidade, e de baixo consumo, além de um sistema fisicamente compacto. Tais necessidades exigem uma solução em hardware. O presente trabalho propõe a implementação de um sistema de RAV utilizando hardware baseado em FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) e otimizando os algoritmos que se utilizam no RAV. Foi feito um estudo dos sistemas de RAV e das técnicas que a maioria dos sistemas utiliza em cada etapa que os conforma. Deu-se especial ênfase aos Modelos Ocultos de Markov, seus algoritmos de cálculo de probabilidades, de treinamento e de decodificação de estados, e sua aplicação nos sistemas de RAV. Foi realizado um estudo comparativo dos sistemas em hardware, produzidos por outros centros de pesquisa, identificando algumas das suas características mais relevantes. Foi implementado um modelo de software, descrito neste trabalho, utilizado para validar os algoritmos de RAV e auxiliar na especificação em hardware. Um conjunto de funções digitais implementadas em FPGA, necessárias para o desenvolvimento de sistemas de RAV é descrito. Foram realizadas algumas modificações nos algoritmos de RAV para facilitar a implementação digital dos mesmos. A conexão, entre as funções digitais projetadas, para a implementação de um sistema de reconhecimento de palavras isoladas é aqui apresentado. A implementação em FPGA da etapa de pré-processamento, que inclui a pré-ênfase, janelamento e extração de características, e a implementação da etapa de reconhecimento são apresentadas finalmente neste trabalho.

Mixed-signal analog-digital circuits design on the pre-diffused digital array using trapezoidal association of transistors

The mixed-signal and analog design on a pre-diffused array is a challenging task, given that the digital array is a linear matrix arrangement of minimum-length transistors. To surmount this drawback a specific discipline for designing analog circuits over such array is required. An important novel technique proposed is the use of TAT (Trapezoidal Associations of Transistors) composite transistors on the semi-custom Sea-Of-Transistors (SOT) array. The analysis and advantages of TAT arrangement are extensively analyzed and demonstrated, with simulation and measurement comparisons to equivalent single transistors. Basic analog cells were also designed as well in full-custom and TAT versions in 1.0mm and 0.5mm digital CMOS technologies. Most of the circuits were prototyped in full-custom and TAT-based on pre-diffused SOT arrays. An innovative demonstration of the TAT technique is shown with the design and implementation of a mixed-signal analog system, i. e., a fully differential 2nd order Sigma-Delta Analog-to-Digital (A/D) modulator, fabricated in both full-custom and SOT array methodologies in 0.5mm CMOS technology from MOSIS foundry. Three test-chips were designed and fabricated in 0.5mm. Two of them are IC chips containing the full-custom and SOT array versions of a 2nd-Order Sigma-Delta A/D modulator. The third IC contains a transistors-structure (TAT and single) and analog cells placed side-by-side, block components (Comparator and Folded-cascode OTA) of the Sigma-Delta modulator.

Designing single event upset mitigation techniques for large SRAM-Based FPGA components

This thesis presents the study and development of fault-tolerant techniques for programmable architectures, the well-known Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), customizable by SRAM. FPGAs are becoming more valuable for space applications because of the high density, high performance, reduced development cost and re-programmability. In particular, SRAM-based FPGAs are very valuable for remote missions because of the possibility of being reprogrammed by the user as many times as necessary in a very short period. SRAM-based FPGA and micro-controllers represent a wide range of components in space applications, and as a result will be the focus of this work, more specifically the Virtex® family from Xilinx and the architecture of the 8051 micro-controller from Intel. The Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) with voters is a common high-level technique to protect ASICs against single event upset (SEU) and it can also be applied to FPGAs. The TMR technique was first tested in the Virtex® FPGA architecture by using a small design based on counters. Faults were injected in all sensitive parts of the FPGA and a detailed analysis of the effect of a fault in a TMR design synthesized in the Virtex® platform was performed. Results from fault injection and from a radiation ground test facility showed the efficiency of the TMR for the related case study circuit. Although TMR has showed a high reliability, this technique presents some limitations, such as area overhead, three times more input and output pins and, consequently, a significant increase in power dissipation. Aiming to reduce TMR costs and improve reliability, an innovative high-level technique for designing fault-tolerant systems in SRAM-based FPGAs was developed, without modification in the FPGA architecture. This technique combines time and hardware redundancy to reduce overhead and to ensure reliability. It is based on duplication with comparison and concurrent error detection. The new technique proposed in this work was specifically developed for FPGAs to cope with transient faults in the user combinational and sequential logic, while also reducing pin count, area and power dissipation. The methodology was validated by fault injection experiments in an emulation board. The thesis presents comparison results in fault coverage, area and performance between the discussed techniques.

Uma interface para o aumento da faixa de freqüências de operação de FPAAS

O crescente avanço nas mais diversas áreas da eletrônica, desde instrumentação em baixa freqüência até telecomunicações operando em freqüências muito elevadas, e a necessidade de soluções baratas em curto espaço de tempo que acompanhem a demanda de mercado, torna a procura por circuitos programáveis, tanto digitais como analógicos, um ponto comum em diversas pesquisas. Os dispositivos digitais programáveis, que têm como grande representante os Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), vêm apresentando um elevado e contínuo crescimento em termos de complexidade, desempenho e número de transistores integrados, já há várias décadas. O desenvolvimento de dispositivos analógicos programáveis (Field Programmable Analog Arrays – FPAAs), entretanto, esbarra em dois pontos fundamentais que tornam sua evolução um tanto latente: a estreita largura de banda alcançada, conseqüência da necessidade de um grande número de chaves de programação e reconfiguração, e a elevada área consumida por componentes analógicos como resistores e capacitores, quando integrados em processos VLSI Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta para aumentar a faixa de freqüências das aplicações passíveis de serem utilizadas tanto em FPAAs comerciais quanto em outros FPAAs, através da utilização de uma interface de translação e seleção de sinais, mantendo características de programabilidade do FPAA em questão, sem aumentar em muito sua potência consumida. A proposta, a simulação e a implementação da interface são apresentadas ao longo desta dissertação. Resultados de simulação e resultados práticos obtidos comprovam a eficácia da proposta.

Comparação do desempenho de duas bombas acopladas diretamente a geradores fotovoltaicos

No Brasil, assim como em outros países que recebem abundantes quantidades de radiação solar durante todo o ano, há um grande potencial para os sistemas que usam a tecnologia fotovoltaica para promover o bombeamento de água. Entretanto, a escolha dos conjuntos de motores e bombas mais adequados para cada situação passa pela análise do desempenho dos sistemas de bombeamento. Portanto, devem ser analisadas tanto as melhores configurações de geradores fotovoltaicos destinados a operar os conjuntos formados pelos motores e bombas, quanto às eficiências das bombas e da conversão fotovoltaica. Nesse trabalho são apresentadas medidas e comparações do desempenho de dois sistemas de bombeamento diretamente acoplados a geradores fotovoltaicos. Para tanto, foi construída uma bancada destinada a realizar uma série de experimentos. Um dos sistemas usou uma bomba centrífuga acoplada a um gerador fotovoltaico formado por três módulos fotovoltaicos. O outro, utilizou uma bomba volumétrica de diafragma acoplada a um único módulo fotovoltaico. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em duas etapas distintas. A primeira foi feita com os motores acoplados a uma fonte de potência em corrente contínua e serviu para a determinação das curvas de desempenho de cada uma das bombas, das curvas dos sistemas, assim como das curvas de corrente (I) e de tensão (V) de cada um dos motores que acionavam as bombas. A segunda foi realizada com os sistemas acoplados diretamente aos geradores fotovoltaicos. A determinação da configuração dos geradores fotovoltaicos destinados a acionar os diferentes sistemas de bombeamento em análise nesse trabalho foi feita por meio da sobreposição das curvas de corrente e tensão dos motores e dos módulos fotovoltaicos. A parte experimental, estando os sistemas acoplados aos geradores, constou de medidas realizadas em intervalos de tempo de cinco segundos, para cada bomba e em várias alturas, das seguintes variáveis: temperatura ambiente, irradiância, temperatura dos módulos, corrente e tensão do motor, rotação do motor, temperatura da água, diferencial de pressão entre entrada e saída da bomba e vazão. As diversas alturas foram simuladas por meio da abertura e/ou fechamento de uma válvula de controle de vazão colocada na extremidade tubulação de descarga, operada manualmente. Os procedimentos adotados nessa dissertação permitiram caracterizar os sistemas de bombeamento propostos, assim como determinar quais os arranjos mais adequados para operar cada sistema. Verificou-se que o melhor arranjo para operar o conjunto motor e bomba centrífuga foi aquele formado por três módulos fotovoltaicos ligados em paralelo, enquanto que a melhor opção para operar o conjunto motor e bomba de diafragma foi com somente um módulo fotovoltaico. De posse dos dados medidos foi possível determinar as eficiências: instantâneas, máximas instantâneas e diárias da conversão fotovoltaica assim como dos conjuntos motores e bombas, em diferentes alturas. Relativamente à conversão fotovoltaica, verificou-se que o conjunto motor e bomba centrífuga operou com eficiência instantânea máxima de 5,74% e eficiência diária de 4,70%, enquanto que o conjunto motor e bomba volumétrica de diafragma operou com eficiência instantânea máxima de 7,66% e eficiência diária de 5,82%. Relativamente à eficiência dos conjuntos motores e bombas, verificou-se que o conjunto motor e bomba centrífuga operou com eficiência instantânea máxima de 19,19% e eficiência diária de 16,79%, enquanto que o conjunto motor e bomba volumétrica de diafragma operou com eficiência instantânea máxima de 38,88% e eficiência diária de 34,30%. Verificou-se ainda que a altura foi determinante na eficiência do conjunto motor e bomba centrífuga e pouco influenciou na eficiência do conjunto motor e bomba de diafragma. Além dessas, outras considerações sobre o comportamento dos sistemas de bombeamento ao longo de um dia também foram ser registrados, tais como: limiares de irradiância para início e final de vazão, correntes de pico ou de arranque dos motores e correntes de início de vazão ou escoamento.

Transcriptoma diferencial entre células-tronco mesenquimais humanas jovens e senescentes

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are powerful sources for cell therapy in regenerative medicine. The long time cultivation can result in replicative senescence or can be related to the emergence of chromosomal alterations responsible for the acquisition of tumorigenesis features in vitro. In this study, for the first time, the expression profile of MSC with a paracentric chromosomal inversion (MSC/inv) was compared to normal karyotype (MSC/n) in early and late passages. Furthermore, we compared the transcriptome of each MSC in early passages with late passages. MSC used in this study were obtained from the umbilical vein of three donors, two MSC/n and one MSC/inv. After their cryopreservation, they have been expanded in vitro until reached senescence. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and marked with the GeneChip ® 3 IVT Express Kit (Affymetrix Inc.). Subsequently, the fragmented aRNA was hybridized on the microarranjo Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix Inc.). The statistical analysis of differential gene expression was performed between groups MSC by the Partek Genomic Suite software, version 6.4 (Partek Inc.). Was considered statistically significant differences in expression to p-value Bonferroni correction ˂.01. Only signals with fold change ˃ 3.0 were included in the list of differentially expressed. Differences in gene expression data obtained from microarrays were confirmed by Real Time RT-PCR. For the interpretation of biological expression data were used: IPA (Ingenuity Systems) for analysis enrichment functions, the STRING 9.0 for construction of network interactions; Cytoscape 2.8 to the network visualization and analysis bottlenecks with the aid of the GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. BiNGO Cytoscape pluggin was used to access overrepresentation of Gene Ontology categories in Biological Networks. The comparison between senescent and young at each group of MSC has shown that there is a difference in the expression parttern, being higher in the senescent MSC/inv group. The results also showed difference in expression profiles between the MSC/inv versus MSC/n, being greater when they are senescent. New networks were identified for genes related to the response of two of MSC over cultivation time. Were also identified genes that can coordinate functional categories over represented at networks, such as CXCL12, SFRP1, xvi EGF, SPP1, MMP1 e THBS1. The biological interpretation of these data suggests that the population of MSC/inv has different constitutional characteristics, related to their potential for differentiation, proliferation and response to stimuli, responsible for a distinct process of replicative senescence in MSC/inv compared to MSC/n. The genes identified in this study are candidates for biomarkers of cellular senescence in MSC, but their functional relevance in this process should be evaluated in additional in vitro and/or in vivo assays

Estudo da sinterização de cavacos de aço ferritico

This research studies the sintering of ferritic steel chips from the machining process. Were sintered metal powder obtained from machining process chips for face milling of a ferritic steel. The chip was produced by machining and characterized by SEM and EDS, and underwent a process of high energy mill powder characterized also by SEM and EDS. Were constructed three types of matrixes for uniaxial compression (relation l / d greater than 2.5). The differences in the design of the matrixes were essentially in the direction of load application, which for cylindrical case axial direction, while for the rectangular arrays, the longer side. Two samples were compressed with different geometries, a cylindrical and rectangular with the same compaction pressure of 700 MPa. The samples were sintered in a vacuum resistive furnace, heating rate 20 °C / min., isotherm 1300 °C for 60 minutes, and cooling rate of 25 °C / min to room temperature. The starting material of the rectangular sample was further annealed up to temperature of 800 ° C for 30 min. Sintered samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy and EDS. The sample compressed in the cylindrical matrix did not show a regular density reflecting in the sintered microstructure revealed by the irregular geometry of the pores, characterizing that the sintering was not complete, reaching only the second phase. As for the specimen compacted in the rectangular array, the analysis performed by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy and EDS indicate a good densification, and homogeneous microstructure in their full extent. Additionally, the EDS analyzes indicate no significant changes in chemical composition in the process steps. Therefore, it is concluded that recycling of chips, from the processed ferritic steel is feasible by the powder metallurgy. It makes possible rationalize raw material and energy by manufacture of known properties components from chips generated by the machining process, being benefits to the environment

Formulação de bloco intertravado cerâmico com adição de resíduos urbanos e industriais

The production of waste from urban and industrial activities is one of the factors of environmental contamination and has aroused attention of the scientific community, in the sense of its reuse. On the other hand, the city of Salvador/Ba, with approximately 262 channels, responsible for storm water runoff, produces every year, by the intervention of cleaning and clearing channels, a significant volume of sediments (dredged mud), and thus an appropriate methodology for their final destination. This study aims to assess the influence of incorporation of these tailings in arrays of clay for production of interlocked block ceramic, also known as ceramic paver. All the raw materials from the metropolitan region of Salvador (RMS) were characterized by x-ray fluorescence, x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (TG and TDA), particle size analysis and dilatometry. With the use of statistical experimental planning technique, ternary diagram was defined in the study region and the analyzed formulations. The specimens were prepared with dimensions of 60x20x5mm³, by uniaxial pressing of 30 MPa and after sintering at temperatures of 900°, 1000º and 1100ºC the technological properties were evaluated: linear shrinkage, water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent specifies mass, flexural rupture and module. For the uniaxial compression strength used cylindrical probe body with Ø 50 mm. The standard mass (MP) was prepared with 90% by weight of clay and 10% by weight of Channel sediment (SCP), not being verified significant variations in the properties of the final product. With the incorporation of 10% by weight of manganese residue (PFM) and 10% by weight of the Ceramic waste (RCB) in the mass default, in addition to adjusting the plasticity due to less waste clay content, provided increased linear firing shrinkage, due the significant concentration of K2O, forming liquid phase at low temperature, contributing to decreased porosity and mechanical resistance, being 92,5 MPa maximum compressive strength verified. After extract test leachate and soluble, the piece containing 10% of the PFM, was classified as non-hazardous and inert material according to NBR10004/04 ABNT. The results showed the feasibility on using waste, SCP, RCB and PFM clay mass, at temperatures above 900ºC, paver ceramic production, according to the specifications of the technical standards, so that to exceed the 10% of the PFM, it becomes imperative to conduct studies of environmental impacts

Estudo sobre as potencialidades de compósitos à base de gesso e fibras de coco seco para aplicação na construção civil

The use of gypsum, one of the oldest building materials for the construction industry in the country has been experiencing a significant and steady growth, due to its low cost and some of its properties that confer comparative advantage over other binder materials. Its use comprises various applications including the coating of walls and the production of internal seals and linings. Moreover, the fibers are being increasingly incorporated into arrays fragile in an attempt to improve the properties of the composite by reducing the number of cracks, the opening of the same and its propagation velocity. Other properties, depending on the function of the component material or construction, among these thermal and acoustic performances, are of great importance in the context of buildings and could be improved, that is, having better performance with this embodiment. Conduct a comparative study of physico-mechanical, thermal and acoustic composite gypsum incorporating dry coconut fiber, in the form of blanket, constituted the main objective of this work. Improving the thermal and acoustic performances of precast gypsum, used for lining and internal vertical fences of buildings, was the purpose of development of these composites. To evaluate the effect of fiber content on the properties of the composites were used to manufacture the composite layer with different thicknesses. The composites were fabricated in the form of plates with dimensions of 500x500x24mm. To facilitate the comparative study of the properties were also made with material gypsum boards only. We then determined the physico-mechanical, thermal and acoustical plaster and composites. The results indicated that the composites were significant gains in relation to thermal performance and also acoustic, in certain frequency range, increasing the thickness of the blanket. Concerning other physical-mechanical properties, the results showed that although the compressive strength was lower than for the composite did not occur after a fracture catastrophic failure. The same trend was observed with regard to resistance to bending, since the composites have not suffered sudden rupture and still continued after the load supporting point of maximum load

Análise e otimização de superfícies seletivas de Frequência utilizando redes neurais artificiais e algoritmos de otimização natural

The bidimensional periodic structures called frequency selective surfaces have been well investigated because of their filtering properties. Similar to the filters that work at the traditional radiofrequency band, such structures can behave as band-stop or pass-band filters, depending on the elements of the array (patch or aperture, respectively) and can be used for a variety of applications, such as: radomes, dichroic reflectors, waveguide filters, artificial magnetic conductors, microwave absorbers etc. To provide high-performance filtering properties at microwave bands, electromagnetic engineers have investigated various types of periodic structures: reconfigurable frequency selective screens, multilayered selective filters, as well as periodic arrays printed on anisotropic dielectric substrates and composed by fractal elements. In general, there is no closed form solution directly from a given desired frequency response to a corresponding device; thus, the analysis of its scattering characteristics requires the application of rigorous full-wave techniques. Besides that, due to the computational complexity of using a full-wave simulator to evaluate the frequency selective surface scattering variables, many electromagnetic engineers still use trial-and-error process until to achieve a given design criterion. As this procedure is very laborious and human dependent, optimization techniques are required to design practical periodic structures with desired filter specifications. Some authors have been employed neural networks and natural optimization algorithms, such as the genetic algorithms and the particle swarm optimization for the frequency selective surface design and optimization. This work has as objective the accomplishment of a rigorous study about the electromagnetic behavior of the periodic structures, enabling the design of efficient devices applied to microwave band. For this, artificial neural networks are used together with natural optimization techniques, allowing the accurate and efficient investigation of various types of frequency selective surfaces, in a simple and fast manner, becoming a powerful tool for the design and optimization of such structures

Análise e síntese de antenas e superfícies seletivas de frequência utilizando computação evolucionária e inteligência de enxames

The frequency selective surfaces, or FSS (Frequency Selective Surfaces), are structures consisting of periodic arrays of conductive elements, called patches, which are usually very thin and they are printed on dielectric layers, or by openings perforated on very thin metallic surfaces, for applications in bands of microwave and millimeter waves. These structures are often used in aircraft, missiles, satellites, radomes, antennae reflector, high gain antennas and microwave ovens, for example. The use of these structures has as main objective filter frequency bands that can be broadcast or rejection, depending on the specificity of the required application. In turn, the modern communication systems such as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and WiMAX, whose services are highly demanded by society, have required the development of antennas having, as its main features, and low cost profile, and reduced dimensions and weight. In this context, the microstrip antenna is presented as an excellent choice for communications systems today, because (in addition to meeting the requirements mentioned intrinsically) planar structures are easy to manufacture and integration with other components in microwave circuits. Consequently, the analysis and synthesis of these devices mainly, due to the high possibility of shapes, size and frequency of its elements has been carried out by full-wave models, such as the finite element method, the method of moments and finite difference time domain. However, these methods require an accurate despite great computational effort. In this context, computational intelligence (CI) has been used successfully in the design and optimization of microwave planar structures, as an auxiliary tool and very appropriate, given the complexity of the geometry of the antennas and the FSS considered. The computational intelligence is inspired by natural phenomena such as learning, perception and decision, using techniques such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, fractal geometry and evolutionary computation. This work makes a study of application of computational intelligence using meta-heuristics such as genetic algorithms and swarm intelligence optimization of antennas and frequency selective surfaces. Genetic algorithms are computational search methods based on the theory of natural selection proposed by Darwin and genetics used to solve complex problems, eg, problems where the search space grows with the size of the problem. The particle swarm optimization characteristics including the use of intelligence collectively being applied to optimization problems in many areas of research. The main objective of this work is the use of computational intelligence, the analysis and synthesis of antennas and FSS. We considered the structures of a microstrip planar monopole, ring type, and a cross-dipole FSS. We developed algorithms and optimization results obtained for optimized geometries of antennas and FSS considered. To validate results were designed, constructed and measured several prototypes. The measured results showed excellent agreement with the simulated. Moreover, the results obtained in this study were compared to those simulated using a commercial software has been also observed an excellent agreement. Specifically, the efficiency of techniques used were CI evidenced by simulated and measured, aiming at optimizing the bandwidth of an antenna for wideband operation or UWB (Ultra Wideband), using a genetic algorithm and optimizing the bandwidth, by specifying the length of the air gap between two frequency selective surfaces, using an optimization algorithm particle swarm

The main objective in this work is the analysis of resonance frequency microstrip structures with glass fiber and electromagnetic band gap (EBG/PBG) substrate and analysis of microstrip antennas with rectangular patch of superconductor of high critical temperature (HTS). In this work was used the superconductors YBCO (critical temperature of 90K), SnBaCaCuOy (critical temperature of 160K), and Sn5InCa2Ba4Cu10Oy (critical temperature of 212K) with results in Gigahertz and Terahertz. Was used microstrip antennas arrays planar and linear phase and linear phase planar with patch with superconductor. It presents a study of the major theories that explain superconductivity. In phase arrays were obtained the factors arrays for such configurations, and the criteria of phase and spacing between the elements compound in the array, which were examined in order to get a main lobe with high directivity and high gain. In the analysis we used the method of Transverse Transmission Line (TTL) used in domain of the Fourier Transform (FTD). The LTT is a full wave method, which obtains the electromagnetic field in terms of the components transverse of the structure. The addition of superconductive patch is made using the boundary condition resistive complex. Results are obtained resonance frequency as a function of the parameters of the antenna, radiation patterns of the E and H Planes, for the phase antenna arrays in linear and planar configurations, for different values of the phase and the spacing between elements
