Electromagnetic power transmission through two cyl-inder-penetrated circular apertures in parallel conducting planes is studied. The Weber transform and superposition principle are used to represent the scattered field. A set of simultaneous equations for the modal coefficients are constituted based on the mode-matching and boundary conditions. The whole integration path is slightly deformed into a new one below the positive real axis not to pass through the pole singularities encountered on the original path so that it is easily calculated by direct numerical quadrature. Computation shows the behaviors of power transmission in terms of aperture geometry and wavelength. The presented scheme is very amenable to numerical evaluations and useful for various electromagnetic scattering and antenna radiation analysis involved with singularity problems.

This letter presents a lower bound and approximation for the coverage probability of the pilot channel that can be used for a CDMA downlink design. The approximation of a compound truncated Poisson distribution is used to obtain a closed form equation for the coverage probability of the pilot channel. Computer simulations show that our lower bound curve is truly less than the empirical curve, and our proposed approximation agrees well with the empirical result.

The problem of a finite monopole antenna driven by a coaxial cable is revisited. On the basis of a variable bound approach, the radiated field around a monopole antenna can be represented in terms of the discrete modal summation. This theoretical model allows us to avoid the difficulties experienced when dealing with integral equations having different wavenumber spectra and ensures a solution in a convergent series form so that it is numerically efficient. The behaviors of the input admittance and the current distribution to characterize the monopole antenna are shown for different coaxial-antenna geometries and also compared with other existing results.
