Four isolated resistors are loaded in an easily realizable form to achieve high in-band isolation. In comparison with other existing designs, the proposed multi-port FPD design stands out by not only its satisfactory operation performance, but also compact multi-way topology with only one multi-mode resonator. For demonstration purposes, the designed triple-mode FPD is simulated by the EM simulator Ansys HFSS, which further validates the feasibility of the design. Results show that the new FPD exhibits wide stopband with five transmission zeros outside the passband, 20dB harmonic suppression up to 7.85 GHz (2.8f0 (f0=2.8 GHz)).","PeriodicalId":141204,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition (iWEM)","volume":"351 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115465804","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}

Among the mainstream designs, planar inverted F-antenna (PIFA) with shape of button has attracted extensive interest because of its low profile, low cast and easy to integrate with clothes. However, the narrow bandwidth character of PIFA brings challenges to the design of wearable button PIFA. To solve this problem, a compact button PIFA with parasitic patch and U-shaped slot structure is developed in this paper. Compared to the typical dual-band PIFA, the proposed antenna shows a better bandwidth in both two working frequencies. According to the simulation results, the proposed antenna has 200 MHz low frequency bandwidth (2.3 GHz~2.5 GHz) and 2.5 GHz high frequency bandwidth (5.15 GHz~7.69 GHz), which is much higher than similar researches in the literature. The proposed antenna shows two different types of radiation patterns, a monopole type pattern in the 2.4 GHz band and a broadside type pattern in the 5 GHz band, in order to meet the requirement of multi-scenarios communications. From the simulation results, a satisfying efficiency of about 90% is obtained.","PeriodicalId":141204,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition (iWEM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114639734","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}

Then the model coefficients are estimated through the behavior model identification algorithm and replicated to the DPD. It can reduce model parameters while reducing the computational complexity and improving the stability of the system to achieve the effect of simplifying the model of the PA. Finally, the effect of improving the linearization of the PA is achieved.
