In this paper, the directivity and impedance is reported. The structure of the modified folded dipole antenna and its dimensions are shown. The case in which the dimension of the metal body was variously changed was calculated. It was proven to have little effect on the directionality in the zenith direction, when the volume of the metal body increases. The omnidirectional radiation pattern was also obtained.","PeriodicalId":159827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 2001 Digest.

It has been applied to simulation, phantom and in vivo breast imaging experiments with quantifiable improvement in the recovered property distributions over those achieved with our original, Levenberg-Marquardt approach. The latter method incorporates spatial filtering at the end of each iteration as a means of stabilizing the reconstruction process. However, the stabilization resulted in blurring of fine structures within the imaging region, particularly in the case of small high contrast objects. The new technique utilizes the original approach as the first stage in a 2-step strategy, allowing the algorithm to identify a distribution in the neighborhood of the ideal solution without converging to an unwanted local minimum. This intermediate result is subsequently employed as an initial estimate for the second stage process-a Tikhonov-based reconstruction with a weighted Euclidean distance penalty term to constrain the final result to be within the vicinity of the intermediate solution while allowing full impact of the electric field minimization without the detrimental effects of the spatial smoothing of the first step. While this approach has enhanced the recovery of features internal to the breast during microwave examinations, it has also improved our capability to recover small, high-contrast objects. This paper illustrates quantifiable improvements in the recovery of small objects in a laboratory setting.","PeriodicalId":159827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 2001 Digest.

By 'stationary sidelobe specification' we mean that the sidelobe envelope requirement does not move when the main beam is scanned. It is shown that for small scan angles, the given sidelobe requirements can be satisfied with less taper loss and tighter beamwidth than Taylor weighting, by permitting the close-in sidelobes to rise up to the specified envelope. An arbitrary 70 dB notch in the far sidelobes may be included with minimal additional taper loss or beam broadening. A brief description of the genetic algorithm is provided.","PeriodicalId":159827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 2001 Digest.

The technique of L-probe fed patch antenna is employed for design of a dual-band antenna due to its several advantages: low cost, lightweight, ease of fabrication and wide bandwidth. An impedance bandwidth of 15% (lower-band) and 11% (upper-band) (SWR/spl les/1.5) and average gain of 6 dBi have been achieved.","PeriodicalId":159827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 2001 Digest.

Such Green's functions have been parameterized in terms of TD-Floquet waves (FW) of cylindrical and planar type, and truncation-induced TD-FW-modulated diffractions. Such waves on semi-infinite and finite square arrays of dipoles have been investigated in the frequency domain (FD), and shown to be useful in practical array applications. The present contribution extends our TD studies to an infinite periodic sequentially pulsed semi-infinite planar array. The phenomenology associated with truncated TD-FW and truncation-induced diffraction is explained in terms of instantaneous frequencies aided by asymptotic parameterization. Preliminary numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the TD-FW algorithms.","PeriodicalId":159827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 2001 Digest.

A novel construction method is presented to design the new temporal basis function. We first specify the principal properties of the desirable temporal basis function. According to these properties and choosing a suitable function with some parameters, we construct a nonlinear programming problem with respect to these parameters, from which the new temporal basis function can be derived. The obtained temporal function has the any-order continuous derivative and is not a truncated version of any function. By using the construction method, a new temporal function, namely, the rational fractional temporal function, is also presented. The numerical result shows that the new temporal function pushes the occurrence of the late-time instability of the transient simulation further down in time when compared to the previous temporal functions.","PeriodicalId":159827,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 2001 Digest.
