The geometry of the proposed ILA consists of inhomogeneous curvatures and internal center offset, where multiple parameters have high order and non-linear relations. Relying entirely on conventional full-wave simulation becomes realistically unviable. Based on geometrical optics, twodimensional ray tracing model calculates refractions on the arbitrarily-curved boundaries. The preliminary geometry of the proposed ILA is determined by a novel particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, significantly enhancing the entire efficiency of the design procedure. With the integration of 8×16 phased array antenna, the devised ILA exceeds the conventional beam scanning limitations by 93%, achieving a main beam scanning range of 174 and scan loss of 2.2 dB for both vertical and horizontal polarizations and broad operational bandwidth. This method is estimated to alleviate the mmWave 5G antenna CAPEX (capital expenditure) by more than 50%.","PeriodicalId":165901,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115369845","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}

Limits of radiated disturbances from WPT systems are specified in CISPR 11 and the Radio Act of Japan. In this study, a 100-kW-class WPT system was constructed with the aim of reducing the radiated magnetic field strength. Opposite-phase transfer and frequency hopping spread spectrum were implemented to reduce the fundamental frequency. Low-pass filters were applied to decrease the harmonic frequency. A 10-m anechoic chamber was used to measure the radiated magnetic field strength of this WPT system. The results confirmed the compatibility of the three proposed techniques.
