For understanding the radio channel’s behaviour in such scenarios within the sub-THz and THz domain, a measurement campaign in the atrium of a large company building was carried out. Angle-resolved channel impulse responses were analysed with regards to channel parameters such as delay and angular spread. A novelty of this work is the analysis of mentioned parameters with regards to synthetic beamwidth of the receiver and various signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) conditions. The analysis shows that with a decreasing receiver (RX) antenna directivity and an increasing SNR the number of multipath components increases rapidly.","PeriodicalId":103360,"journal":{"name":"2023 17th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"2 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":"130753802","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 proposed antenna consists of a 4 × 4 nonuniform metasurface radiator and a cross-shaped feeding probe. Based on the theory of characteristic modes (TCM), the resonance potential of the different characteristic modes (CMs) is discussed for the proposed nonuniform metasurface radiator. By combining the differential-fed scheme, three pairs of degenerate modes can be excited to realize wide impedance bandwidth. Meanwhile, the independent tuning characteristics for the three resonances are also achieved. The simulated results show the proposed dual-polarized antenna with a low profile of 1.8 mm can cover 3.3-4.2 GHz with 45 dB isolation, which is promising to be applied to the dielectric back cover of 5G mobile devices.","PeriodicalId":103360,"journal":{"name":"2023 17th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"10 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":"133242667","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}

For this purpose, four anti-parallel turn coils are placed on four arms of the drone to harvest lateral field components along with a conventional circular Rx coil that harvests vertical magnetic field. A DC combining technique is proposed for combining the output voltages induced in each receiver coil to avoid destructive superposition of responses. An EM simulator is used to analyze the potential of harvesting lateral fields by the proposed anti-parallel turn coils. Later, the anti-parallel turn coils’ positions are determined based on the maximum voltage induced in these coils. The system is further verified using an experimental setup, and the results prove a significant enhancement of output voltage. Thus, proving the potential of the proposed Rx coil antenna suitable for drone charging applications.","PeriodicalId":103360,"journal":{"name":"2023 17th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"783 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":"133250271","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}

We show that side-fed arrays present higher bandwidths for higher steering angles, while center-fed arrays work better in the broadside region. Moreover, side-fed arrays can also be better than corporate-fed ones near the end-fire region, making them a good alternative to reduce the footprint of the feeding networks. Finally, we illustrate that if the feeding point can be varied as a function of the desired steering angle, the broadband performance of the array can be optimized for different steering angles.","PeriodicalId":103360,"journal":{"name":"2023 17th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"7 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":"124268784","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}
