The presence of the measuring person can cause reflections on that person, which can affect the measured exposure and lead to misinterpretation of the actual exposure. Therefore, the influence of the measuring person on the exposure measurement with an isotropic probe is evaluated for wireless communication standards GSM, LTE and 5G in the sub-6 GHz frequency range and 5G in frequency range 2. For measurement-based investigation, measurements were carried out with and without a person. The results show an influence of the person on measured field strengths when examining individual measuring points. Usually, the local maximum field strength in a measurement volume is determined for exposure measurements. By comparing the maximum measured field strength of the comparative measurements, smaller influences of the measuring person results, which can nevertheless lead to a false evaluation of the actual exposure.","PeriodicalId":103360,"journal":{"name":"2023 17th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115479356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MIMO antenna consists of a mode-converting metasurface atop a rectangular cavity that is fed by multiple waveguides. The metasurface itself comprises a cascade of electric sheets separated by dielectric spacers. The impedance profiles of the electric sheets are optimized such that each waveguide feed excites a specified beam. The excited beams are orthogonal to ensure isolation between the feeds.

In this paper, we present an electronically reconfigurable reflectarray designed to perform accurate beam steering and tracking in trposcatter communications systems. This reflectarraty uses an electronically reconfigurable unit cell providing 2-bit reflection phase shift quantization. The unit cell consists of an E-shaped patch placed above a ground plane. The patch is connected to a reflecting circuit electronically controlled by three PIN diodes below the ground plane to provide 2-bit phase shift. The proposed unit cells can provide less than 0.55 dB/bit loss and less than 15° phase error at the target frequency range (5.8-6 GHz). Full-wave simulations of a 208-element reflectarray incorporating the proposed unit cell have demonstrated the performance feasibility of the design concept.","PeriodicalId":103360,"journal":{"name":"2023 17th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127146143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
