Análise de sensores plasmônicos baseados em Nano estruturas estratificadas utilizando o Método das imagens complexas discretas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-05-11) SOUZA, Nadson Welkson Pereira de; COSTA, Karlo Queiroz da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7932708321834647
In this thesis, the theoretical analysis of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor coupled to metallic nanoparticles is presented. The sensor is considered in the Surface Plasmon Coupled Emission (SPCE) configuration, where the metallic nanoparticles (or analytes) are modeled by equivalent dipoles located above the sensor. A complete set of Green’s dyadic functions for the electric field is estimated for planar, multilayer, and uniaxial media in a computationally efficient and convenient manner for applications using the Discrete Complex Imaging Method (DCIM) via the Generalized Pencil of Function Method (GPOF). The principle of complex path deformation in a two-level contour is employed to express an original integral as a sum of complex images. The results related to the surface plasmon resonance, reflection, near and far field of planar sensors are presented and it is described how these nanoparticles influence the ability to increase the near field strength and alter the sensitivity response of these optical sensors. In addition, for comparison purposes, some results are calculated by numerical and experimental methods. The results show suitable agreement, which proves that DCIM is an efficient and powerful theoretical method for analyzing SPR sensors in the SPCE configuration.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12-06) BATALHA, Iury da Silva; BARROS, Fabrício José Brito; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9758585938727609; CAVALCANTE, Gervásio Protásio dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2265948982068382
Within the context of studies related to radiopropagation, this work presents a proposal for large-scale modeling of propagation loss for 8, 9, 10 and 11 GHz bands in relation to the number of walls, distance and polarization. Measurement campaigns were conducted in the Annex II corridor and in a teaching laboratory located at the Federal University of Pará. The measurement campaign was performed using VV and HH co-polarized directional horn antennas and VH cross polarization nantennas in Line of Sight (LoS) and Line of Sight (NLoS) conditions, the transmitter was fixed within the environment with 0 dBm transmission with VV and HH antenna array and 15 dBm for VH. Directional antennas for transmitter and receiver with 29.3∘ elevation and 29∘ azimuth were used for frequencies 8, 9, 10 and 11 GHz. The Minium Mean Square Error (MMSE) technique was applied to determine the values of the equation parameters as: PLE , XPD, HHPD, and OPLE. The proposed propagation loss model presented satisfactory results compared to the measured data presenting a low standard deviation. A point-to-point standard deviation analysis is also presented within the two environments for the studied frequencies. For the corridor the standard deviation values using polarized V-V antennas were 7, 7.5, 5.6 and 5 dB, and for cross-polarized V-H antennas were 5, 6.2, 2.3 and 3.5 dB for studies frequencies. For the laboratory the values of standard deviation for polarized V-V antennas were 7, 7, 6.5 and 7.3 dB and for polarized H-H antennas were 9.3, 6.1, 6.1 and 6 dB. The polarization loss factor (XPD) presented in the extension of the CIX model for the corridor present values of 19.3, 28.7, 21.3 and 14.3 for the frequencies of 8, 9, 10 and 11 GHz, respectively.

Aprovisionamento dinâmico de recursos em redes ópticas elásticas multiplexadas por divisão de espaço considerando limitações de camada física
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-07) LOBATO, Fabricio Rossy de Lima; CARTAXO, Adolfo da Visitação Tregeira; COSTA, João Crisóstomo Weyl Albuquerque; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9622051867672434
In elastic optical networks (EONs) employing weakly-coupled single-mode multi-core fibers (MCF), inter-core crosstalk (XT) can affect significantly the network performance, particularly when the number of cores and the path length increase. Hence, from the network perspective, the impairment-aware (IA) routing, spectrum and core assignment (RSCA) problem is an important research challenge of MCF-EONs. In this thesis, we propose a dynamic provisioning methodology that solves independently the IA-RSCA problem taking impairments physical layer into account. To achieve the XT impact minimization, we decompose the IA-RSCA problem into two subproblems: the IA routing sub-problem and the IA spectrum and core assignment (IA-SCA) sub-problem. For the routing solution, a precomputation method based on the k-shortest path is used, and a physical layer impairment verification phase is performed taking the required optical signal to noise ratio into account. For the IA-SCA sub-problem, the novel XT-aware greedy algorithm is proposed to minimize the XT impact on the MCF-EONs performance as follows: for each new connection, the level of detected XT power of the new connection and interfering connections relative to the XT power threshold of each connection is minimized on the average over all those connections. This minimization is achieved by choosing the core and frequency slot of the new connection. In order to take the spectral overlapping extension of the new and interfering connections into account in the detected XT power, a novel frequency slot overlapping index is introduced. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through computer simulations. The results show that the total blocking probability and network average utilization achieved by the proposed algorithm are better than the ones obtained by core prioritization, random and first-fit strategies, for different scenarios of XT level and spectrum fragmentation.

Circuladores de grafeno de banda ultralarga para região THz
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-07) SILVA, Samara Leandro Matos da; DMITRIEV, Victor Alexandrovich; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3139536479960191
Non-reciprocal components are indispensable parts of many microwave and optical systems. In the future, THz communication systems will also require these components. Existing publications show that the bandwidth of graphene-based circulators in the THz region can be 10% to 20% with the use of rather complicated structures. The suggested circulators are formed by a graphene junction with concave pattern connected to the waveguides. Graphene is supported by SiO2/Si layers. The circulating behavior is based on the nonsymmetry of the graphene conductivity tensor that appears due to magnetization by a DC magnetic field normally applied to the plane of the graphene. We discuss the main parameters that define the bandwidth and its influence on it. Circulators have record bandwidth that is twice as high as those published. We have shown that the circulator Y can have the bandwidth of 42% in the frequency range (2.75 ÷ 4.2) THz, with the insulation better than −15 dB and the larger insertion losses that −2 dB, provided by the DC magnetic field polarization of 1.5 T and the chemical potential of 0.15 eV. For the two 4-port circulators we achieved a bandwidth of 44% for the same physical parameters.

Compressão de sinais em sistemas de rádio sobre fibra digital para redes fronthaul
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-07-23) MATE, Dércio Manuel; TEIXEIRA, António Luis de Jesus; OLIVEIRA, Rosinei de Sousa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3853897074036715; COSTA, João Crisóstomo Weyl Albuquerque; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9622051867672434
The introduction of technologies such as Carrier Aggregation (CA), Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP), aiming to improve the performance of LTE and LTE-A systems, increases the challenge for deploying Mobile Fronthaul due to the network capacity limitation to support higher transmission rates. An approach to deal with Frontahul’s capacity limitation is data compression. Several techniques have been developed for signal compression in fronthaul, and most of these techniques compress the signal transmitted in baseband. In this work, a compression technique is developed for specific scenarios of Digital Radio-over-Fiber systems, transmitting the signal in intermediate frequency (IF). This technique uses the radio channel state information (CSI) to control signal compression in the fronthaul. The simulation results with the developed technique demonstrate its ability to reduce the data transmitted onthe network by 45.05%. In addition, this technique allows the transmission of 64 QAM modulated signals using a lower quantizer resolution, e.g., 4 bits per sample, maintaining the EVM below 3GPP recommended threshold (8%). Finally, the performance of the fronthaul network is evaluated experimentally in an optical link of 20-km, considering scenarios with and without signal compression.

Dispositivos não-recíprocos baseados em grafeno na região de THz
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-02-28) CASTRO, Wagner Ormanes Palheta; DMITRIEV, Victor Alexandrovich; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3139536479960191
Four new types of nonreciprocal graphene-based devices operating in the Terahertz region are suggested and theoretically analyzed in this work. They are two three-port circulators with Y and W geometries and two power dividers with different geometries. The cross section of the components has a three-layer structure, composed of graphene, silica and silicon. The planes of the figures of these components consist of a circular resonator of graphene and waveguides connected to it. The graphene resonator is magnetized normally of its plane by an external DC magnetic field, and the physical principle of operation of the devices is based on the dipole resonance of the magnetized graphene resonator. Using the Magnetic Group Theory, we analyze the scattering matrices of the symmetrical components of the devices. In addition, for the analysis of the circulators, the Analytical Temporal Coupled Mode Theory was also used. Numerical simulations were performed by a full wave computational program and the calculations demonstrate isolation levels better than -15 dB for both the circulators and the dividers. The Y-circulator has insertion losses around - 2.6 dB, bandwidth of 7.4% at the center frequency of 5.38 THz, whereas the circulator W showed insertion losses of - 2 dB, bandwidth of 4.5% at the center frequency of 7.5 THz. The DC bending magnetic field in the two cases was 0.45 T and 0.56 T, respectively. The power dividers have shown to posses the division of the signal between the two output ports of -4.4 dB with in the frequency band of 4.5% and 3.4% with magnetic filed of 0,8 T. The influence of geometric and physical parameters on the characteristics of the circulators is discussed. The frequency bands of the devices can be controlled dynamically by changing bias voltage applied between the graphene layer and the substrate.

Efeitos de Faraday e Kerr em estruturas periódicas metálicas: Grafeno na faixa de THz e Ouro-Dielétrico-Bi:YIG na faixa do infravermelho
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-10-05) SANTOS, Carlos Rafael Marques dos; DMITRIEV, Victor Alexandrovich; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3139536479960191
Photonics is a research field whose purpose lies in the use of light (photons), rather than electrons (electronics) in the realization of certain functions such as storage, transfer and processing of signals. In this context, it opens the possibility of development and production of devices whose storage capacity surpasses those of electronic devices. To do this, it is necessary to control the photons similarly, to what is done in electronics with the electrons. The control of radiation, in the context of photonics, can be realized through magneto-optical effects, such as the Faraday and Kerr effects. The Faraday effect is used as the basis of operation of devices such as optical isolators, current sensors and others. In turn, the Kerr effect is the basis of the operation of data storage devices (optical magnetic memory). In the present work, magneto-optical effects of Faraday and Kerr, as well as the transmission of electromagnetic radiation are studied in the regions of terahertz and infrared. In the frequency range that corresponds to the THz, the Faraday effect, the Kerr effect and the radiation transmittance are analyzed in periodic structures of graphene with different geometries. The structures analyzed in this work can present RF, for weak magnetic fields (B =1 T, for example), greater than 3_ depending on the choice of geometry that can be circles, squares, squares with small cuts in the corners and ribbons. Faraday rotation in these systems can be explained by a simple circuit model where the introduction of periodicity in the graphene promotes the increase of the system impedance and consequently changes the magneto-optical properties of the system, improving the rotation of Faraday at high frequencies (larger than 8 THz) still with magnetic field values taken as weak. This characteristic can not be obtained in a uniform sheet of graphene, since it is possible to obtain a strong rotation of Faraday at high frequencies with strong magnetic fields (10 T, for example). Additionally, for the three periodic structures it was calculated the Kerr rotation that can reach the value 3.96_ depending on the geometry chosen. For all cases, the maximum frequency of Faraday and Kerr rotations occur for frequencies greater than 7 THz. These results are better than results already published. In the infrared region are studies the effects of Faraday, Kerr, as well as extraordinary optical transmission in a plasmonic hybrid structure composed of four layers. For this, the Faraday rotation is of 7_ and 0.25 of of transmittance For wavelength 945 nm. Additionally, the Kerr effect can reach 23_. These results are better than results already published. In the proposed structure, the improvement of Faraday’s rotation is due to the increase of the Q factor of the resonances in the magneto-optical material layer.

Estados ligados de Majorana em nanodispositivo com ponto quântico acoplado à cadeia de átomos em zigue zague sobre supercondutor topológico.

The research in condensed matter physics with insulators and superconductors topological has contributed greatly to the characterization of the surface properties and modes zero in nanowires. We investigate theoretically, through the recursive Green’s function approach, the electron transport through the T-shaped quantum dot (PQ) with a single level and spinless, connected to a zigue zague chain and coupled to a p-wave superconductor. This model is an extension of the Kitaev chain for a network triangular of finite-size with for three, four, and five sites. We find that the Majorana zero modes can be tuned through the coupling parameters of the device and the linear conductance show both the Majorana Bound States (MBS) in topological phase and in the general topological phase maximally robust. This more realistic model allows the detection of MBS through of the control of the parameters governing the electronic tunneling and can be helpful for relevant experiments. Keywords: Majorana Fermions, recursive Green’s function approach, Kitaev chain, class of electronic nanodevices, Quantum Dot, T-shaped, Qubit, Majorana Bound States (MBS).

In this work we are analyzing the simulations of two microstrip antennas. The first is an antenna using the ceramic material Bismuth Niobate (BiNbO4) doped with Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) on the substrate. The antenna patch was designed with indented power line to facilitate matching of impedances and the substrate with air holes was placed just below the patch to further decrease the losses. The second is a nano-antenne with Graphene Patch in the Terahertz range and PBG (Photonic Band Gap) substrate with triangular mesh, and holes in the following height configurations h1, h2 and h3. At time h1 the substrate is fully drilled, while at heights h2 the holes will be made top to bottom of the substrate and the height h3 is the antenna with substrate drilled from the bottom up to the middle of the substrate. Therefore three antennas are created in these geometries using a triangular hole network. The arrangement of the holes in the dielectric substrate constitute the PBG structure, to increase the performance and efficiency of these antennas, extinguishing surface waves in the substrate of microstrip antennas. The adopted geometry also improves antenna parameters such as efficiency and bandwidth. The commercial software HFSS and CST were used for the simulations of the antennas. After the numerical simulation steps the results of the parameters of these devices were obtained. The first antenna (periodic lattice with ceramic substrate) obtained a return loss of -36.21 dB, at a resonance frequency of 10,26 GHz, with a bandwidth of 2.18 GHz. In the simulations of the antennas of microstrip with Patch of graphene the antenna h3 obtained double transmission band with chemical potential of graphene of 0,3 eV.

A good wireless network design depends on technical, financial and what criteria you want to meet. New technologies and services, such as transmission in 5G, and the reuse of frequencies, several new studies are being done to ensure the best project for a given area. This work presents a discrete radio propagation model that uses the K-nearest neighbors classifier. The model takes into account different attributes of an environment, the studied environment was in the dependencies of the Federal University of Pará (Pará-Brazil), representing a typically Amazonian environment. For design the model, measurement campaigns were carried out in three different frequencies: 521MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2600 MHz. The study of the fading in these frequencies was made to make a generalization of frequencies to include in the model. Two scenarios to optimize the positioning of the base stations under study were carried out. The proposed model was applied in some scenarios, showing the power received at each point, in addition, tests for frequency of 700 MHz were performed to show how good the polynomial obtained was in the generalization of the frequencies.

Projeto e síntese de superfície seletiva de frequências para o padrão IEEE 802.15.3C via técnica de otimização híbrida multiobjetivo de alta precisão

Artficial Neural Networks (ANN) are inspired by the structure and functional aspects in biological neural networks. They are trained through mechanisms obtained from the physical properties of the processes involved, for example, electromagnetic waves. From the knowledge acquired through that experience and learning, they may be able to provide solutions for predicting users behavior and providing, within a region of interest, accurate strategy data for projects and sizing. Those who criticized the application of ANN acquired by nature-inspired algorithms, argued that the problems to be faced were usually without complexities, although the conventional methods that were proposed to solve these same problems were not eficient. Some spurious successes have occurred in certain well-behaved environments, but without_exibility when encountering diverse constraints. Adding to these developments, there is the evolutionary openness of computational tools, which has given extraordinary support for deepening techniques to solve and optimize previously unthought problems. In many optimization issues, the quality of a solution is defined by its performance against several conficting goals. Such coficting objectives cannot be signi_cantly reduced to a single value, for example using a weighted sum or other methodology, but must be considered independently of each other. To achieve accurate solutions with reduced computational costs and shorter processing times, we present the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA), as well as Bioinspired Computation (BIC). Combining the advantages of the classical algorithms, the Metaheuristic Algorithms emerged irreversibly. In many optimization problems, the quality of a solution is defined by its performance in relation to several, coficting objectives. Such conficting goals cannot be sensibly reduced to a single value using a weighted sum or another aggregate function, but rather they must be considered independently from each other. Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are a natural answer of this kind of evolution. In this work is presented a hybrid bioinspired optimization technique that associates a General Regression Neural Network _ GRNN with the Multi-Objective Bat Algorithm _ MOBA, for the design and synthesis of the Frequency Selective Surfaces _ FSS, aiming its application in data communication systems by difusion of millimeter waves, speci_cally, in the IEEE 802:15:3c standard. The designed device consists of planar arrangements of metallizations (patches), diamond-shaped, arranged over a RO4003 substrate. The FSS proposed in this study presents an operation with ultra-wide band characteristics, its patch designed to cover the range of 40:0 GHz at 70:0 GHz, i.e., 30:0 GHz bandwidth and 60:0 GHz resonance. The upper and lower cuto_ frequencies, referring to the transmission coe_cients scattering matrix (dB), were obtained at the cuto_ threshold at -10dB, to control the bandwidth of the device.

A Radio propagation model for mixed paths in Amazon environments for the UHF band
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-01-22) ERAS, Leslye Estefania Castro; CAVALCANTE, Gervásio Protásio dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2265948982068382
The present work proposes a radio propagation model for the Amazon region called Mixed Path. The techniques used for Mixed Path model are Geometrical Optics (GO) and the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). Only ten rays are considered the main contributors to calculate the total electric field. Increasing the number of rays does not improve the accuracy of Mixed Path model since the scenario is for receivers located in long distances. Then slope diffraction or multiple reflections means a low electric field that does not contribute significantly to the total electric field. The parameters of Mixed Path model such as electrical constants, antennas height, buildings height among others, are analyzed in order to know the influence of them in the received electric field. Measured data in the central frequency of 521 MHz of a Digital Television station in the city of Belem of Pará are used to validate Mixed Path model. This city is located in the Amazon region of Brazil and presents mixed routes formed by city, river, and forest. Because digital television has a wide coverage and reception flexibility, Mixed Path was designed for receivers at the user’s level for the service of Mobile Digital Television (M-DTV) and for fixed receivers on the rooftops of homes for Home digital television (H-DTV). Finally, the proposed model and other models in the literature are compared with the data measured for M-DTV, being Mixed Path the model with the lowest RMS error with a value of 3.15 dB for a receiver over the river behind the city and behind the forest.
