In this paper a novel method for computing the radiation pattern and also the input impedance of a planar rectangular micro-strip antenna array with consideration of mutual coupling and mutual impedance is presented. Each two triangles with a common edge make an Edge element or RWG. Any such edge element is considered as an infinitesimal dipole. The electrical currents over each dipole can be c...

Demand for high-speed dynamic reconfiguration of a programmable device is increasing for raising the performance level of such devices. To support high-speed dynamic reconfiguration, optically reconfigurable gate arrays (ORGAs) have been developed. An ORGA consists of a holographic memory, a laser array, and an optically reconfigurable gate array VLSI. The holographic memory can store many conf...

Fault-tolerant approaches have been widcly em­ ployed to improve the yield of ULSI and WSI processor arrays. In this paper, we propose a host-driven reconfiguration scheme, called HEX-REPAIR, for hexagonal processor arrays charac­ terized by a large number of relatively simple cells. Such arrays have heen shown to be the most efficient for many digital signal processing applications, such as ma...

The strategies of distribution network reconfiguration are applicable for minimizing power loss and saving electrical energy in the distribution system. Network reconfiguration is usually represented by constant load demand so ignoring the variability of load demand causes uncertainty and misleading results in the minimization of power loss. This paper consists of two parts: first, the reconfig...
