Rubinstein, A.Rostamzadeh, C.Rubinstein, M.Rachidi, F.2007-04-042007-04-042007-04-042006https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/4562WOS:000244386300054This paper presents a brief theoretical discussion on the issue of the wire-grid representation of surfaces using the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC). Different approaches for the determination of the parameters (in particular, the segment radii) of a wire-grid representation of a metallic surface are presented. These approaches are tested vs experimental data on electric field distribution inside a Transvers Electro-Magnetic (TEM) cell. The obtained data are compared to simulation results showing reasonable agreement for models featuring rectangular meshes.ElectromagnetismCodes (symbols)Numerical methodsParameter estimationElectric field effectsData reductionMathematical modelsComputer simulationNumerical Electromagnetics Codes (NEC)Metallic surfacesTransvers Electro-Magnetic (TEM) cellsWire-grid representationOn the use of the equal area rule for the wire-grid representation of metallic surfacestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
