Complex Locations of Equivalent Dipoles for Improved Characterization of Radiated Emissions

The positioning of electromagnetic (EM) sources on the complex plane, though a mathematical construct, is often applied in solving EM problems with directive confined (collimated) propagation characteristics. Equivalent dipole modeling, which finds its application in characterizing various current sources can be computationally expensive for large structures. Here, the complex localization of equivalent source points combined with the particle swarm optimization is used to improve the performance of the equivalent dipole modeling.
