The proposed FSS consists of a periodic array of stacked slotline-microstrip-slotline structures, which can achieve mode conversion between the incident spatial waves and the guided waves. Then, by constructing multimode resonators in the hybrid slotline-microstrip-slotline structures, a UWB bandpass response can be achieved with multiple in-band transmission poles. Furthermore, by introducing cross-couplings between the first and last slotline resonators, a pair of transmission zeros are generated at both sides of the desired passband to enhance the roll-off-slopes and the out-of-band performance. In order to verify the concept, a proposed FSS example is designed and fabricated. The measured results exhibit UWB bandpass filtering responses with seven inband transmission poles and a pair of transmission zeros close to the passband, which indicates 117% fractional bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124364569","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}

Pattern reconfigurable or beam steerable antenna is in demand nowadays especially for wireless systems such as wireless power transfer (WPT) system. Various research has been conducted to improve the reliability of WPT due to its ability to overcome the drawbacks of conventional power supply such as battery that has limited lifetime and wire or cable that might break. Hence, an effective power transfer is desired for power to be supply sufficiently. This can be achieved by implying a directive and steerable antenna to the system. Incorporation of varactor diode on parasitic antenna array is able to attain these properties. The designed antenna in this study consists of 3 layers; (1) a driven element and parasitic stubs, (2) four parasitic dipoles and two shorted dipoles, (3) two parasitic dipoles. FEKO software is used to design and simulate the proposed antenna array. Each parasitic dipole is loaded with varactor diodes in order to control the capacitance. By varying the capacitance at appropriate parasitic dipoles, the beam can be steered from 0° to 80° with 5° steps in the azimuthal plane. The peak gain of the array approximately around 7.5 dBi, while the beamwidth range from 64° to 93°.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126255363","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}
