Overview
The C16S report is an R&D calculation document characterizing the electromagnetic behavior of the Aires C16S microprocessor — a self-affine circular diffraction grating with 16 fractalization axes — at 2.4 GHz (the Wi-Fi standard frequency). This is the first in a series of sequential MEMS simulation reports (C16S → C28S → C32S) that document the evolution of the Aires resonator architecture from 16 to 32 fractalization axes.
Unlike commercially available EM simulation packages, the calculation required custom software. Standard packages model electromagnetic interactions using classical physics frameworks. However, multiple studies demonstrated that the processes occurring at the resonator surface can only be explained by accounting for counter-wave interaction on the resonator surface and the numerous derivative resonances that result — effects not captured by standard tools.
The C16S Resonator — Specifications
The Aires C16S microprocessor is a self-affine circular diffraction grating fabricated using MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology on a silicon substrate.
- Number of fractalization axes: 16
- Fractal levels: 4
- Fractalization factor: 2
- Geometry: Self-affine circular diffraction grating
- Substrate: Silicon monocrystal
- Application: Aires Shield Pro (2018 model)
- Test frequency: 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi)
Physical and Mathematical Model
The simulation used a custom physics model developed specifically for Aires resonator interaction with electromagnetic radiation. The model accounts for:
- Counter-wave interaction on the resonator surface — the primary mechanism by which the fractal diffraction grating modifies incident field structure
- Derivative resonances — secondary resonances generated by the counter-wave interaction that cannot be modeled by classical EM packages
- The self-affine nature of the grating topology, which enables resonance across multiple frequency scales simultaneously
The physical model treats the resonator as a structured surface whose geometric properties — the self-affine pattern of ring grooves at multiple scale levels — determine the electromagnetic response to incident radiation at 2.4 GHz.
Results
The simulation calculated the strength and intensity of the electromagnetic field in the interaction zone of the C16S resonator with 2.4 GHz radiation, including:
- Field strength distribution across the resonator surface
- Characterization of the field transformation from incoherent broadband to coherent self-affine form
- Identification of the near-field interaction zone parameters
- Confirmation that the effect is structure-dependent and requires no energy input (passive operation)
The calculation confirmed that the C16S topology produces field modification consistent with the experimental findings in the VGTU Phase I and Phase II reports. The results justified the C16S topology for use in the Aires Shield Pro 2018 product.
Place in the MEMS Simulation Series
The C16S report is the first in a three-part MEMS calculation series, with each subsequent report increasing the number of fractalization axes to improve resonator performance:
- C16S (2018) — 16 axes, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
- C28S — 28 axes, extended frequency range
- C32S — 32 axes, broadband optimization
