Using transformation cylinders, arbitrary-way planar wave fronts can be simultaneously converted to helical wave fronts with arbitrary topological charges. Firstly, the principle of orbital angular momentum is introduced. Then, a designing method of metamaterials based on transformation optics is interpreted to construct a 3D simultaneous arbitrary-way OAM generator with different topological charges. At last, the simulations on electric field and phase of output beams are performed, which validate the function of this design. The results show that arbitrary-way beams carrying OAM with specific topological charges can be obtained simultaneous by the proposed device.","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115926919","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}

ERA gives high gain due to presence of multiple reflections between completely reflecting ground plane surface and partially reflecting dielectric surface. Non-uniform phase distribution of electric field over the ERA aperture generally degrades the radiation characteristics of antenna. In order to achieve further gain improvement, planar multi-dielectric PCS is used to transform non-uniform phase distribution to relatively uniform phase distribution over the ERA aperture.","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121726142","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}

An High-Resistivity Silicon (HR-Si) substrate was chosen to optimize the trade-off between semiconductor effects and microwave propagation. Indeed, thanks to this particular substrate, the novel co-design concept is illustrated by an integrated and distributed switch based on an N+PP+ junction. This concept offers great flexibility in the design of tunable microwave devices. Moreover, applied to tunable distributed systems (antennas, filters, etc) in planar technology, it makes it possible to avoid the need for reported components or metalized holes. The coupling between semiconductors and microwave devices is taken into account thanks to a new co-design flow. Two demonstrators, with switchable doped microstrip lines, are manufactured and measured to validate the approach. The performances achieved in terms of insertion losses (IL) and isolation (Iso) were lower than 2.8 dB and higher than 40 dB, respectively, over the whole frequency band under consideration (from DC to 20 GHz).","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121931010","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 inherent radiation pattern degradation of the array due to feed radiation is minimized with the proposed multilayered concept. The proposed design exhibits an improvement in sidelobe level of the order of 6dB in both E-and H-planes with better cross-polarization level. In the multi-layered design, the common ground plane separating the two stacked substrate layers, shields the antenna half-space from spurious radiation emitted from the feed network. The simulation results show that the radiation pattern in the operating frequency provides a 3dB beamwidths of 25° and 9° in E-plane and H-plane respectively.
