The dispersion relation is found by the transverse resonance technique. It is analyzed and compared with the particular case of an isotropic grounded slab. The study is limited to the left-handed region of the metasubstrate, which corresponds to the frequency band where the permittivity and permeability are negative and most dispersive. The work considers only TM modes, for which the effects of dispersion and anisotropy are most significant. The leaky-modes in the anisotropic left-handed meta-substrate are shown to exhibit a leakage factor which may be conveniently designed to very low values for super highly directive leaky-wave antennas.","PeriodicalId":161657,"journal":{"name":"2010 14th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics & the American Electromagnetics Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122617044","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}

However, with magneto-dielectric materials, this limitation seems to be overcome since such materials give a larger bandwidth compared to dielectric materials [3]-[5]. But, available magneto-dielectric materials are very lossy in microwave frequency ranges and the substrate under the conductor line is usually extended beyond the line limits (not truncated substrate) which can excite surface waves [6], [7]. So, as for dielectric materials [8]-[13], the use of magneto-dielectric materials also means that losses can be generated either by the propagation of surface waves for non truncated substrates or by the inherent material loss tangents.","PeriodicalId":161657,"journal":{"name":"2010 14th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics & the American Electromagnetics Conference","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116693579","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}

Moreover, balanced antennas with differential configurations have the advantages of easy integration and low cross-polarization. This talk presents a class of novel printed balanced phase-reversal antennas with small lateral footprint and interesting properties. This type of antenna may be regarded as an evolution of Franklin-type antennas [1]. It consists of a plurality of balanced transmission line sections interconnected by phase reversing crossovers having two functions: small dipole radiators and ideal 180° phase shifters. Due to the balanced configuration of the antenna, only the crossovers radiate, and the antenna is subsequently modeled as a serial array of radiation resistances. A six-element coplanar stripline (CPS) array is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally [2], with measured 9.3 dBi of gain for bidirectional radiation and 12.5 dBi of gain for unidirectional radiation with a back reflector.","PeriodicalId":161657,"journal":{"name":"2010 14th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics & the American Electromagnetics Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127573235","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}

Output SM exploits the fine model data at a single design and is not able to align the models' sensitivity. Here, a multipoint response correction is introduced that generalizes the concept of output SM. By using a design-variable-dependent correction term and exploiting all available fine model information, the proposed technique provides exact match between the surrogate and the fine model at several designs. This not only retains the benefits of output SM but also enhances sensitivity matching between the two models, which results in improved performance of the SM optimization process. Verification using two microwave design problems is provided.","PeriodicalId":161657,"journal":{"name":"2010 14th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics & the American Electromagnetics Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121787464","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 first filter uses all planar resonators to achieved a measured insertion loss of 3.7 dB and a return loss > 10 dB with a layout area of 1.263mm2. The second filter uses vertical stacking of two of its resonators to reduce the layout area and achieved higher immunity to process variations. Measurements for the second filter show an IL of 3.4 dB while maintaining a RL > 10 dB.
