Abstract [en]
In the modern world, because of increasing oil prices and the need to control greenhouse gas emission, a new interest in the production of electric cars is coming about.
One of the products is a charging point for electric cars, at which electric cars can be recharged by a plug in cable. Usually people are required to pay for the electricity after recharging the electric cars. Today, the payment is handled by using SMS or through the parking system. There is now an opportunity, in cooperation with AES (the company with which we are working), to equip the pole with GPRS, and this requires development and maintenance of the antenna. The project will include data analysis of the problem, measurements and calculations.
In this work, we are computing energy flow of the wave due to the location of the antenna inside the box. We need to do four steps. First, we take a set of points (determined by the computational mesh) that have the same distance from the antenna in the domain. Second, we calculate the angles between the ground and the points in the set. Third, we do an angle-energy plot, to analyse which angle can give the maximum energy. And last, we need to compare the maximum energy value of different position of the antenna.
We are going to solve the problem in Matlab, based on the Maxwell equation and the Helmholtz equation, which is not time-dependent.
