The included materials are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactic acid (PLA), XT co-polyester and special material with admixture of cork. The samples for measurement are made by Prusa 3D printer and the manufacturing properties like necessary precision, melting temperature and mechanic properties of each material are discussed. For broadband measurement in the frequency range from 1 to 10 GHz, the transmission/reflection method is exploited. The scattering parameters of material samples located in a N-type male coaxial adapter with air dielectric are measured by vector network analyzer and the complex relative permittivity of measured samples is extracted. The results show that the real part of the relative permittivity of materials is in the range from 2.55 to 2.95 and the imaginary one is from 0.007 to 0.08.","PeriodicalId":143358,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Microwave Techniques (COMITE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123089590","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}

It is shown how the inaccuracies of the simulation results inherent to the use of such discrete ports can be avoided by the additional application of the TRL calibration technique. This method, which is well-known in the high-frequency measurement realm, is briefly revised. The applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated for microwave structures with shielded as well as open waveguide terminals. Two examples are discussed in detail, namely, the excitation of a shielded structure with coaxial waveguide terminals and that of an open structure with microstip line terminals using appropriate discrete ports, respectively. Simulation results are given and their accuracy is assessed by comparing them to a corresponding waveguide port excitation.","PeriodicalId":143358,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Microwave Techniques (COMITE)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114487682","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 coupled-mode theory (CMT) and transfer matrix method (TMM) have been used to establish the numerical modeling of slow-light in π-FBG. The influence of slow-light grating parameters, such as grating length (L), index change (δn), and loss coefficient (α), on the spectral and on the sensing characteristics of π-FBG are studied in detail. The simulation results show that for the maximum slow-light sensitivity the optimum grating parameters are obtained as L = 5 mm, δn = 1×10−3 and α = 0.10 m−1. The peak transmissivity of 0.55 and a remarkable group-index of 1477 is obtained from the optimized grating. The optimized π-FBG is used for slow-light sensing applications. The highest values of slow-light strain and temperature sensitivity of 8.431 µϵ−1 and 91.6435°C−1, respectively are achieved. The slow-light sensitivity of proposed π-FBG is the highest as compared to apodized FBGs reported in the literature. Therefore, the proposed slow-light π-FBG shows great importance in sensing applications.","PeriodicalId":143358,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Microwave Techniques (COMITE)","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131712048","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}
