The proposed antenna consists of two bent monopole antennas and an isosceles triangular partial GND on a single layer. To simply design an antenna with dual-feed dual-CP characteristics, CP bandwidth (BW) is optimized based on a single antenna. The proposed antenna is structurally different from conventional antennas in three ways. Structural asymmetry is realized by bending the shape of the antenna and moving the position, and thus good CP characteristics are obtained. The feeding structure is changed from a linear type to a meander type. As a result, a single monopole antenna has a CP BW of 36%. Next, an antenna system with dual-CP characteristics is introduced by implementing two monopole antennas on a single layer. In this structure, the resonant frequency is controlled by the antenna geometrical parameters, and the null frequency at S21 is controlled by the distance between the two antennas. The measured results show that the CP BW of the proposed antenna is 40.6% (1.51–2.28 GHz). The measured isolation is below -20 dB within the operating BW.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46060845","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}

Fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process with a 1.2-V supply voltage, the up- and down-conversion mixers consume 39 and 43 mW, respectively. For 5G time-division duplexing (TDD) operation, intermediate-frequency (IF)/local-oscillator (LO)/radio-frequency (RF) T/R switches are introduced. For better isolation and low insertion loss between the up- and down-conversion mixer, a series-shunt single-pole double-throw (SPDT) structure and an equivalent lumped λ/4 transmission line are proposed for IF and RF T/R switches, respectively. To realize compact area and wide bandwidth, a transformer-based matching network is adopted in this design. Targeting multi-channel phased array applications, the measurement result shows that the up-conversion mixer achieves a 2.5-dB peak conversion gain with 6.5 GHz 3-dB bandwidth. Including the insertion loss of the switch and IF signal routing, at the maximum gain of 36.5 GHz, the up-conversion mixer achieves an output 1-dB gain compression point (OP1dB) of 2.5 dBm.

Misalignment of the panel in a deployable antenna results in path length error and rotation of the unit normal vector on the reflector surface. However, in terms of the analysis of cross-polarization (cross-pol) generation, rotational error is a more significant factor. In the aperture field, the distributions of cross-pol components are calculated to identify the polarization characteristics of the radiated field. For uniform misalignment, the peak-to-cross polarization (XPOL) is found to be smaller than -50 dB for misalignment angles less than 3°. Furthermore, when the panels are non-uniformly misaligned with a sinusoidal distribution, the cross-pol level depends on the angular position of the maximum misalignment.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47544359","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}

The PTE bound of the MPT system is obtained by formulating it as a convex optimization problem (CVP) that maximizes the power received at the Rx array under the transmit power constraint. The channel state information (CSI) between each element of the Tx and the Rx is the input parameter of the proposed CVP. The CSI is estimated using the Friis transmission equation and the active element pattern of the array antenna because the Tx and the Rx are assumed to be large arrays. For an MPT system designed at 10 GHz and 24 GHz, the estimated PTE bound is compared to those in previous studies while varying the distance and tilted angle between the Tx and the Rx. The computation times required for the methods are compared. The numerical results show that the proposed method provides a faster and more accurate PTE bound without full electromagnetic simulation of the MPT system consisting of Tx and Rx array antennas. This study's results will serve as guidelines for practical MPT system design in the future.","PeriodicalId":15662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of electromagnetic engineering and science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44589587","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}
