The target structure is a multistory building on a university campus that is used primarily for academic purposes and is much larger than the target wavelength. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed theoretical approach, measurements were carried out and a commercially available simulation tool, Wireless Insite, was adopted. We then analyzed the influence of an area of vegetation as an external environmental factor that could affect the radiated electromagnetic waves because of its location in front of the target structure. For this, a precise simulation environment was designed to derive the quantitative values of the electromagnetic attenuation caused by the external environmental factor. Furthermore, those values were applied to the theoretical approach. The results of the theoretical approach accounting for the external environmental factor were similar to those of the actual measured results. The results were also similar to those of the simulation tool, Wireless Insite, but the theoretical approach provided more efficient analysis results in terms of time consumption and computer resources.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42036846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work presents a high-isolation repeater antenna operating in a frequency range of 3.6–3.7 GHz in a 5G communication system. Perpendicularly arranged microstrip patch antennas are used because this arrangement can lead to greater isolation than a parallel arrangement. However, the perpendicular arrangement results in radiation pattern distortion due to the ground mode. A novel defected ground structure (DGS) is developed to suppress the ground mode and simultaneously reduce the mutual coupling between the Tx and Rx antennas. An electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) is additionally employed to further increase isolation. The measurement results of a fabricated repeater antenna show no radiation pattern deformation and an isolation improvement of 28 dB over the repeater antenna without the DGS and EBG.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41941460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To excite degenerate modes of the ground plane with phase quadrature by using a single-fed structure, two bent metal strips with grounded ends are introduced around the rectangular ground plane, and a corner of one of the bent strips is set as the feeding point. For ground radiators, a first-order OAM mode is generated at the high-frequency end by synthesizing the degenerate modes. In case of the bent side strip, an inverted-F antenna that operates in the low-frequency mode is formed.

This inherent nonlinear characteristic is due to the lower power contribution of the single auxiliary device as the balanced amplifier transistors approach compression. This article presents an LMBA with a two-stage control signal amplifier in place of the single auxiliary device. The idea is to preserve a high and constant gain across the high- and low-power regions by tuning the two-stage gain control signal to match the balanced amplifier gain. An optimal load trajectory can be found for a high-efficiency design by appropriately terminating the second harmonic while ensuring an optimal impedance match in all devices. At the same time, by setting an optimal output power from the auxiliary device, sufficient power is provided to linearize the response of the main power amplifier beyond the output back-off power boundary. As proof of concept, a prototype is designed and implemented. The experimental measurements demonstrate a drain efficiency of 59%–64% at maximum output power and 46%–52% at 7.5 dB output back-off power over the target frequency range of 3.3–3.8 GHz.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47693905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the proposed antenna was designed to adjust the phase difference between the arrayed waveguide antennas by changing the length of the rectangular waveguide using a slide. Subsequently, a ridge structure with optimized curvature was attached to the aperture of the rectangular waveguide to obtain stable reflection coefficient characteristics. Finally, eight rectangular waveguide antennas and two dummy antennas were E-plane arrayed at intervals of 0.8λ (25.6 mm) to obtain a beam width of nearly 8°. A beam width of 8° was then obtained by adjusting the length of each waveguide. It was possible to orient the beam of the antenna in intervals of 8° using the phase difference of each antenna. The proposed mechanical beam steering technique can replace electronic beam steering for radar antennas, rendering the structures less vulnerable to EMP attacks.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41503829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, the circuit simulation based on parallel-connected topology is performed in an advanced design system, while the design and simulation of a fourth-order filter in dielectric technology are carried out in high-frequency simulation software. The prototype of fourth-order microstrip topology is fabricated using open-loop resonators. The overall circuit size of the filter is 2.5 cm × 4 cm. The achieved simulation and measured insertion/return loss are 0.409 dB/20 dB and 2.674 dB/18.074 dB, respectively. Extensive sensitivity analysis is conducted to prove the fabrication tolerance of the filter. The reduced sensitivity of the proposed filter to manufacturing tolerance is fully demonstrated using an open-loop microstrip technology, and its reliability is proven by theoretical analysis.

Among the manufactured circuits, the W-band circuit was applied to the TWT, one of the vacuum electronics devices (VEDs). This was done to prove the manufacturing accuracy of the circuit by comparing the nonlinear characteristics of the circuit with the prediction results. Through such testing, the small signal gain was measured as 13 ± 2 dB under the conditions of 13.96-kV and 24.2-mA electron beam energy. The frequency bandwidth was extremely wide, about 9 GHz, and showed similar characteristics to the simulation predictions. The maximum output of the device was obtained up to 1 W or more at 87.12 GHz by slightly increasing the beam current.
