Proof of concepts and preliminary research has been done on all three topics in the form of published or accepted IEEE conference papers. Various aspects of all of the aforementioned tasks remain to be completed in order to put each topic to a journal paper publication level of quality; namely: 1) to explicit show the novel benefits of the hybrid far field solver method over existing methods; 2) to add more fidelity, details, and complexity to the time-delay quantification method; and 3) add higher-order modes and angles of incidence to the applied Floquet similarity transformation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Novel Hybrid Methods and Analysis Techniques for Non-timed Antenna Arrays and Reflectarrays"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2021-10-20 16:14:48","changed_gmt":"2021-10-20 16:14:48","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-10-27T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-10-27T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-10-27T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-10-27 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-10-27 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-10-27 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
