    Notes: Abstract Media reports indicate the decline of the technological literacy of American youth, especially that students in other countries are better prepared in science and mathematics. Our active-learning program, which consists of numerous hands-on experiments, introduces engineering applications into science and math programs, that will demonstrate to students the usefulness of the theory that they currently do not see as useful. The program, when fully developed, will make optimum use of technology, especially computers and videotapes. The hands-on experiments allow students to discover fundamental principles through data analysis and then use the principles to synthesize a solution to a technological problem. This discovery-based education will help school systems better meet performance standards such as those in the Maryland School Performance Plan. The experimental approach to science education is especially important in a technology-oriented economy where children use the new technologies without understanding the principles on which they are based.

    Notes: This paper presents an annotated bibliography of numerical modelling in electromagnetic compatibility with emphasis on coupled transmission lines. Although the papers cited generally appeared in the open literature between 1980 and 1990, very useful works prior to that period are covered.

    Notes: The electromagnetic radiation from electronic systems is formulated in terms of an integral equation for the electric and the equivalent magnetic current density, which is numerically solved by the method of moments. The electromagnetic coupling to conducting thin wires, thin plates, and aperture fitted cabinets is taken into account by appropriate operator equations.In order to solve the integral equation of electrically large conducting structures, suitable basis functions are needed to minimize the computation time. B-spline functions of the second and third degree are used as a basis in the moment method, which lead to a decrease of the computation time.A second way to decrease the computation time is given by the possibility of determining which parts of the structure of a printed circuit board (PCB) have to be considered and which parts can be neglected. Examples show that the influence of near source conducting areas to the radiated emissions is strong. It will be shown that this influence depends on the geometrical symmetry, the shape, and the distance of the scattering body.

    Notes: This paper presents the simulation of a class of MIMD systems using discrete-event simulation enhanced by graphics-oriented reporting. MIMD systems can be specified, modelled and simulated using the package and in turn provide estimates of certain performance indices. A multiserver queueing model is constructed to describe the flow of data and instructions through the various elements of the system. The model is composed of P processors sharing M memory modules through a user-defined interconnection network. Graphical outputs allow the user to view the state of every processor/memory module over the simulation time with performance estimates such as the relative speedup, throughput, and utilization factor. Moreover, system performance graphs as a function of various system parameters are obtained to indicate the expected system behaviour for various loads and system configurations. The results section shows a case study of the influence of the memory modules' access time on the system performance. The purpose of the results is to aid in the analysis, understanding, design, and performance prediction of a class of MIMD systems in a user-friendly environment.

    Notes: A computer program has been written for the analysis and design of arbitrarily shaped waveguides, containing dielectric and magnetic materials. The program calculates the propagating modes of the waveguide by the three-component vector finite element method. High accuracy is achieved by the use of high-order elements, and by the inclusion of singular trial functions near sharp metal edges. An efficient algorithm based on the conjugate gradient method is used to solve the algebraic eigenvalue problem. Results are given for rib waveguide and fin-line.

    Notes: A major limitation of the boundary element method (BEM) for the solution of electrical potential problems is the long computational time required. However, a large portion of the calculations involved can be viewed as being parallel in nature and can therefore be computed concurrently. This paper makes an effort to increase the efficiency of the BEM process using transputer-based multiprocessor computing techniques. The algorithms developed may equally well be applied to any multiprocessor system. The application selected to demonstrate the technique is the solution of an electrostatic problem governed by a two-dimensional Laplace equation.A parallel algorithm for problem setup and field extraction using BEM is designed and implemented on a transputer array. Special attention is directed to the utilization of the parallel processors to achieve maximum efficiency. The analysis in this work concentrates on the communication strategies for passing data between processors as well as a consideration of the workload attributed to each processor.The parallel algorithms were implemented using 3L Parallel Fortran; however, the choice of topology for the overall BEM implementation was limited by the fact that certain parts of the algorithm could only utilize a pipeline configuration of processors. Comprehensive results for the parallel BEM algorithm are given and they are encouraging, indicating that parallel processing has much to offer when applied to the boundary element method.

    Notes: The diffusion of Zn into a GaAs crystal is modelled using numerical techniques similar to those of Zahari and Tuck.1 This technique does not directly solve any differential equations, the physical processes are directly modelled. The diffusion of Zn is assumed to be by the kick-out mechanism. In this mechanism the Zn atoms diffuse into the crystal interstitially with a constant diffusion coefficient. The interstitial Zn atoms transfer to the substitutional lattice site by kicking out a Ga atom. The incorporation of the Zn atoms on to the lattice sites is assumed to take place at a rate much greater than the diffusion of the interstitial Zn. The diffusion of the generated Ga interstitial is also contained in the model. The effect on the Zn concentration profile and Ga interstitial concentration of varying both the Ga interstitial diffusivity and equilibrium concentration has been examined. Finally, the implications of these results on Zn induced disordering of GaAs/AlAs superlattices is discussed.

    Notes: This paper describes a novel technique with which a system with changing topology can be modelled whilst maintaining a constant system matrix. This technique employs a new transmission-line switch model which has a constant characteristic impedance, irrespective of its state. The method is explained, compared with the switched-resistance method and demonstrated by two examples. It has been found that the proposed method offers substantial advantages in the formulation of the problems and in the efficiency of computation.

    Notes: Analysis of transients in integrated circuits is performed with the use of highly specialized computer programs. The transient responses are computed using time-marching integration methods and require a substantial amount of computer time. A new method based on spectral analysis and waveform relaxation is proposed. The method results in a substantial saving in computing time without compromising the accuracy. A basic algorithm utilizing the spectral technique in a relaxation framework is described. A prototype simulator based on the algorithm was developed and used to simulate certain types of CMOS circuits. The results showed a significant time savings in comparison with the widely used circuit simulator ‘SPICE’. Example circuits and relevant results are provided.

    Notes: A simple method is described for spatial substructuring of meshes used in TLM diffusion routines in such a way as to enable discontinuous mesh lines to be used. A method of operating TLM diffusion routines using different timesteps in different spatial regions is also described. For both aspects, results are compared with those derived using standard TLM techniques.
