AI Thread Summary

The zero state step response in linear time-invariant (LTI) systems refers to the system's output when all initial conditions are zero, focusing solely on the system's response to an external input. In contrast, the step response includes both the zero state response and the contribution from any initial conditions present in the system. This distinction is crucial for understanding how LTI systems behave under different scenarios, particularly in control theory and signal processing. The zero state response is particularly useful for analyzing the system's inherent characteristics without the influence of prior states. Understanding these differences is essential for accurate system modeling and analysis.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
