Two-Dimensional Method-of-Moments Analysis of TMz and TEz Scattering from PEC Cylinders

Sabrina Saima

This paper presents a two-dimensional method-of-moments (MoM) solver for electromagnetic scattering from infinitely long perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) cylinders. Both TMz and TEz polarizations are considered. Starting from the scalar Helmholtz equation, the electric field integral equation (EFIE) is derived for TMz scattering and the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) is derived for TEz scattering. The induced surface current on the PEC boundary is expanded using pulse basis functions, and the boundary integral equations are discretized using point matching at the segment centers. Circular cylinders with radii $R = λ$ and $R = 2λ$ are used as validation cases because analytical series solutions are available. The MoM-computed surface currents, total near fields, scattered near fields, and field-error distributions are compared against the analytical solutions. After validation, the same solver is applied to a square PEC cylinder, for which no simple closed-form analytical solution is used. The results show strong agreement between the MoM and analytical circular-cylinder solutions and demonstrate the geometry-dependent scattering behavior of the square cylinder.

Beyond white- and black-box modeling tools in optical communications and optical computing: physics-informed data-driven modeling

Isidora Teofilovic, Sergio Hernandez Fernandez, Metodi P. Yankov, Christophe Peucheret, Darko Zibar, Francesco Da Ros

Efficient optimization and control of photonic computing and communication systems increasingly rely on accurate surrogate models/digital twins. While data-driven models may achieve faster inference than traditional physics-based methods, they typically suffer from poor training…

Lyapunov-Guided Training for Hardware-Safe Neural Networks Under Fixed-Point Arithmetic

Anis Hamadouche, Amir Hussain

Low-precision neural networks are attractive for resource-constrained hardware, but fixed-point arithmetic introduces failure modes that are often hidden by idealised quantisation models. In particular, two's-complement overflow wrapping can corrupt hidden activations by changing…

Matched Generators for the Karhunen--Loève Transform: A Double-Commutator Eigenvalue Theory

Mitchell A. Thornton

The Karhunen--Loève transform (KLT) diagonalizes the covariance of a second-order process and is optimal for mean-square truncation. Which classical transform it reduces to is governed by the symmetry commutant of the covariance: when the kernel commutes with a group action, the…

Plenoptic imaging of particle interactions in scintillation detectors

Xiang Dai, Chi-Jui Ho, Kevin Tandi, Chang Lee, Alex Bocchieri, David Parra, et al.

Accurate 3D localization of radiation interactions in scintillation detectors is essential for nuclear and particle physics, safeguards, and medical imaging, but remains difficult in light-starved regimes with limited photon statistics. We present PRISM, a multifocal plenoptic im…
