Classical signal processing functions such as spectrum analysis, correlation, convolution, filtering, mixing, and noise reduction can be performed optically using optical signal processing devices and systems. The signal media, i.e., light waves, not only have a higher information-carrying capacity than electrical wires, but may pass through each other without interference, thus providing an increased interconnection capacity. This property facilitates improved communication and ease of reconfiguration between processing elements in highly parallel optical computing architectures.1

The use of an electromagnetic analysis of 3-D planar structures is described with respect to the educational requirements of students from the college freshman level through the graduate level. The analysis is intended primarily for microwave use; however, there is also significant potential interest from the student of high speed digital design. The analysis is used for passive planar circuits with any number of layers. The third dimension is represented by vias. A mature graphical user interface is provided allowing rapid capture of structure geometry, color visualization, and animation of the resulting current distributions. The software is also explicitly designed to work in conjunction with popular circuit theory based microwave software and with SPICE.

With the availability of a large number of software packages for electromagnetic (EM) education through the national computer Applications in Electromagnetic Education (CAEME) Center [1] and other individual efforts, there have been some concerns regarding the ability to integrate this software effectively in routine classroom teaching. Basically, congested EM curricula do not provide instructors with sufficient time to include software demonstrations and simulations during class periods. It is also not clear whether students will be able, adequately and independently, to understand basic underlying concepts and physical phenomena from visualization of colorful graphics and from the output of performed simulations. To help integrate available EM software in classroom teaching for both instructor use and student independent study, CAEME developed three interactive video lessons for student instruction. Interactive media lessons integrate and allow individuals to interactively manipulate information from multimedia such as video, software, and animated graphics, and also include instructional information such as quizzes and tutorials. In this article, we present the features of three interactive video lessons in EM developed by CAEME. These lessons include tutorials, simulations from CAEME software and videos, and quizzes to evaluate student understanding. The lessons use animated graphics illustrating specific dynamic phenomena and specific measurement procedures. They also keep a record of student quiz scores for instructor use. These, as well as other features of the three developed interactive video lessons, and the software and hardware requirements for developing such lessons, will be described.

This article describes a software package useful for the instruction of antenna array theory. The program provides the radiation pattern of different types of antennas, the array factor of linear, two-dimensional and three-dimensional arrays, and the total radiation pattern. The elements of the array are isotropic source, Hertzian dipole, straight thin wire dipole, and finite line source with uniform current distribution. The user has the freedom to choose one of the supported element types or to provide the pattern of an antenna element based on experimental or calculated data. This article serves as a tutorial for selected examples as well as a quick guide for the use of this software.

The National Science Foundation/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (NSF/IEEE) Center for computer Applications in Electromagnetic (EM) Education (CAEME) was funded in early 1990 by the National Science Foundation to stimulate and accelerate the use of computers and software tools in EM education. The Center is managed by the Executive Office of IEEE on behalf of the Antennas and Propagation Society. This organizational structure provided avenues for broad participation by universities, professional societies, and corporations in the Center's activities. In two years of operation, CAEME has organized several workshops and special sessions in international meetings, published its first software book, prepared a lesson on “Electromagnetic Waves” using interactive video, and raised over $ 130,000 from university membership, participating societies, and corporate sponsors. This article summarizes CAEME activities, outlines its organizational structure, and briefly describes the contents of its first software book. Future developments are discussed and avenues for participation are outlined.

A novel packet switch architecture is proposed based on a channel grouped virtual circuit (CG-VC) scheme for high-speed communication networks. The case is considered in which there are several parallel channels between two switching nodes. The CG-VC scheme allows a packet to select an available channel in such a way as to avoid congested channels using a simple, hardware-based, self-routing mechanism. As a result, the architecture provides efficient channel use and low switching delay. The performance of the proposed switch is evaluated by simulation. The results show the proposed switch significantly improves channel utilization and switching delay compared with conventional single-channel allocation transmission policies.< >

The variation of the intensity of environmental γ-rays has been studied with a Ge(Li) spectrometer. The 12 γ-rays were selected to be examined and typical characteristics of variations were obtained for each γ-ray. The intensity of γ-rays of 214Pb and 214Bi which are 222Rn daughter nuclei increases on rainy days to the severalfold value of the average in the case of no precipitation. These variations were observed to be roughly proportional to rainfall rate in a sequence of precipitation. The γ-ray intensity of nuclides of the thorium series and 137Cs is nearly constant within about 3% regardless of the weather. Its variation is about equal to the statistical fluctuation of the present measurements. The mean diurnal variations of γ-ray intensity were obtained on days without precipitation. The intensity of 214Pb and 214Bi γ-rays fluctuates nearly sinusoidally with an amplitude of about 6% of the average value and the maximum in the early morning.
