The pentagonal patches were designed considering them as equivalents with the corresponding circular resonators. The simulations are realized using CADFEKO, software based on the Moment Method (MoM). The proofs were realized considering the designed antennas as replacement ones on a router. Simulated input return loss show a good agreement with the operation frequencies design. It has been demonstrated that the dual antenna operate satisfactorily in the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges, showing its feasibility to use it for Wi-Fi applications.

The polynomial approximation is a low-order function of the design variables and it is used to approximate electromagnetic responses of the SIW interconnect in a region of interest around the selected central base point. The surrogate modeling process is implemented in Matlab, while the electromagnetic responses of the SIW are obtained using a low-resolution EM model implemented in CST Microwave Studio to speed up the modeling process.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115046114","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 Énfasis framework uses byte code instrumentation to weave statically pieces of advice.
