Broadband Electromagnetic Radiation Modulated by Dual Memristors

Using dual high-speed memristors, we report on an efficient broadband electromagnetic radiation from a narrowband microstrip patch antenna. The directly modulated microstrip patch antenna system with dual memristors is calculated by using an integrated full-wave finite-difference time-domain method with an embedded SPICE3 solver. Nonlinear transient electromagnetic response is analyzed. The radiation frequency spectrum demonstrates the broadband radiation performance from the narrowband antenna system.
