The design is based on a novel cell geometry composed of two combined letter patches (A&S) printed on a grounded textile substrate. This unit cell geometry is specifically developed and optimized for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications. In this study, different types of textiles are considered, namely, Felt, Denim, and Polyester, and the achieved -10 dB reflective fractional bandwidths are about 50.36%, 44.49%, and 41.42%, respectively. A comparison between conventional counterparts PCB-based dielectrics (FR-4 and Rogers RT-5880) and textile-based fabrics (Felt, Denim, and Polyester) indicates that the bandwidths exhibited by textile fabrics are significantly wider. This study also demonstrates that the bending of textile-based materials has an inverse effect on the -10 dB bandwidth, as the material's surface curvature increases. The current design is more compact, thin, and more efficient in terms of absorptivity in comparison to other reported absorbers and structures in the literature. The obtained results can be considered promising for the development of ultra-wideband e-textile-based applications such as energy harvesting, health monitoring, and camouflage systems.","PeriodicalId":106416,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121300525","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}

A novel method of using slot coupling between the receiving patch and transmitting patch is utilized for achieving wideband transmission phase. Compared to the traditional TA using slot coupling receive-transmit patch antenna unit cells, low profile of only four conducting layers are used. In addition, wide transmission bandwidth of 18.6% is achieved for the proposed unit cell. To realize a 3-bit phase delay, the distance between coupling slots and length of phase delay line are elaborately adjusted. Finally, to realize a highly directional radiation with the half-power beamwidth ≤3° in E-plane and H-planes, a TA antenna with circular aperture of 1976 unit cells was designed and measured. The measured results prove that its HPBW in E-plane is 2.8°, and in H-plane is 2.9°. In addition, it is observed a high aperture efficiency of 28% and a 2 dB gain bandwidth of 75-85 GHz can be achieved for the presented TA antenna.

The current cuff-based, continuous BP measurement methods require uncomfortable arterial compression for every intermittent measurement. Thus, we suggest the development of a novel flexible, wearable and miniaturized microstrip antenna that can provide continuous and easy to use estimates of blood pressure. This wearable antenna is designed in High Frequency Simulation Software (HFSS) and dedicated for transmitting and receiving signals at 2.4 GHz. It is also compact of 35 x 35 mm2 with a epoxy substrate of dielectric constant 4.3. The patch presents a gain of 6 dB and resonance over the frequency band 2.3-2.6 GHz, which falls in the targeted industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. In order to check the safety of using the antenna on human body, this paper presents a computer-based design of a human arm and applies the antenna on it. The specific absorption rate is 1.74 W/Kg, which is below the IEEE safety standard cut-off. The paper also presents a discussion on a newly proposed algorithm that relates the variation in electromagnetic waves along with variation in brachial artery specifications to estimate blood pressure parameters.","PeriodicalId":106416,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131146445","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}

Physiological component analysis, however, is known to require long computation times because it is based on high-dimensional global optimization. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the dimensionality of the decision variables for the optimization process that uses the Schelkunoff polynomial method.
