The operating band of the proposed antenna can cover the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) 2.45 GHz band, and the resonant frequencies can be tuned simply by adjusting the dispersion curve of the metasurface through the calculation of a single unit cell. In this design, the metasurface consists of a 3×3 array of unit cells, which are fed by a printed coplanar waveguide (CPW) monopole antenna. By modeling the metasurface as a two dimensional composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL), the negative modes can be excited in this design, which can miniaturize the dimension of the antenna significantly. Then two negative modes are combined to extend the working band. The footprint of the proposed antenna is 50.6×43.5 mm2 (0.14λ02), and the impedance matching band ranges from 2.2 GHz to 2.65 GHz, with a fractional bandwidth of 18.3%. The maximum gain is 4.35 dBi and 2.57 dBi in free space and on the human body, respectively. This design provides a new approach to realize wideband miniaturized antennas for wearable applications.","PeriodicalId":138339,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International RF and Microwave Conference (RFM)","volume":"266 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122945109","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 near-field data can be recorded in a time domain via a two-probe measurement system. Before the measurement is performed, the chosen device under test must be investigated to understand how the programs running in the background could affect the characteristic of the EM emissions. Three different programs, namely local number crunching, filling random numbers into sequential addresses and filling random numbers into random addresses, are tested and analysed. Time-frequency plot and autocorrelation function analysis are used as tools to study the effect of the device's mode of operations on the characteristic of the radiated emissions. Results from the time-frequency plot analysis prove that different programs can produce EM emissions of different characters and, at the same time, affect the ensemble average of the autocorrelation function.","PeriodicalId":138339,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International RF and Microwave Conference (RFM)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127582133","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}

At millimeter wave, where antenna size becomes small size of almost 30cm, a reflector antenna becomes promising. In order to use a reflector antenna for multi beam application, a spherical reflector is suitable. However, a spherical reflector has a problem of distributed caustics. In designing antenna, to clarify caustic positions is important. In this paper, the caustic position equation is derived.

The analysis is performed with three different horn feeds of 10dB, 15dB and 20dB gain. Additionally, the feed distance (f) with respect to the reflectarray size (D) is varied from 0.4D to 1.3D. It is observed that, the each feed offers a maximum gain at a different distance, even though the reflectarray is initially designed at a feed distance of 1D.
