A first non-resonant plasma-based microwave power limiter composed of a pre-ionized plasma discharge integrated into $Omega$ microstrip line has been experimentally characterized with steady-state and transient measurements. These results have been then confronted at each step to a resonant one using the same plasma discharge. This study highlights the effect of the resonance on the non linear plasma-wave interactions and its consequences on the behaviour and the performances of a plasma-based microwave power limiter.","PeriodicalId":112989,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121919521","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 measured results for five samples of ammonia hydroxide concentration (50, 200, 500, 1000, and 2000 ppm) under a static system in the closed chamber at room temperature were obtained. The levels of gas concentration can be impressively detected by measuring the transmission coefficient changes. The proposed sensor can be employed for several applications such as sensing the gas generating from agricultural products.","PeriodicalId":112989,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"68 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120875261","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 one-antenna gain measurement method relying on the use of a reflective plate and measurement of the reflection coefficient is applied. The accuracy of the measurement is improved by moving the reflective plate and thus changing its distance from the antenna. In addition, the time-gating is used in order to avoid the effect of the multiple reflections and other stray signals from near-by reflecting objects. The size requirement for the reflective plate is experimentally studied by using three different plate sizes. Also, different reflective plate distance ranges for the gain retrieval are investigated. The obtained results suggest that the distance range of 20–30 mm and reflective plate width of 30 mm are sufficient to provide accurate gain results for a patch antenna at W-band.","PeriodicalId":112989,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121363499","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 design is compact in size (32 mm x 38 mm x 1 mm) with a beveled ground plane for wide-band performance. In order to prevent interference problems from nearby communication systems like WiMAX (3.3-3.8 GHz) and WLAN (5.1-5.8 GHz) technologies, an open C-shaped stub is embedded in the radiating patch and a pair of U-shaped parasitic strips is inserted beside the feed line. Simulation results show that the proposed antenna design has a very wide bandwidth covering the entire UWB, X-band, and Ku band frequency range (3 to 20 GHz), along with notch-bands in the WiMAX (3.3–3.8 GHz) and (5.1–5.8 GHz) frequencies. Also, the results show good gain flatness, good impedance matching, and omnidirectional radiation patterns at almost all frequency bands of operation (3 to 20 GHz). This reveals the effectiveness of the proposed antenna design in the applications of wide-band communication systems such as satellite communications.","PeriodicalId":112989,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"328 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134324386","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}
