This paper addresses the experimental control of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves. The underlying optimal control problem aims to find a set of values to apply to control sources, located in the controlled region or on its boundary, allowing any electromagnetic field caused by an undesired noise source to be suppressed or replaced by any other field map. After a presentation of the control method, illustrated with a few numerical applications, two experimental setups are considered. The first setup aims to control the voltage within a mixed microstrip/coaxial transmission line. In the second setup, the electric field inside a cross-shaped waveguide network is controlled. For both setups, the working frequency is chosen in the ultra-high frequency range, and a comparison is made to the results given by the equivalent numerical models.

最优控制理论应用于时谐电磁波的意外源控制和场整形

本文讨论了时谐电磁波的实验控制。潜在的最优控制问题旨在找到一组值以应用于位于受控区域或其边界上的控制源，从而允许由任何其他场图抑制或替换由不希望的噪声源引起的任何电磁场。在介绍了控制方法并通过一些数值应用进行说明后，考虑了两个实验设置。第一种设置旨在控制混合微带/同轴传输线内的电压。在第二种设置中，十字形波导网络内的电场受到控制。对于这两种设置，工作频率均选择在超高频范围内，并与等效数值模型给出的结果进行比较。
