Dual polarization is obtained by exciting the antenna in two orthogonal directions using two separate ports. Higher order resonant mode is used to obtain higher gain. The antenna transmits and receives in L and S bands simultaneously with good isolation between the ports. Improved isolation is obtained by using an L-shaped slot and non-shorting pins on and below the radiating patch, respectively. A prototype element is fabricated. Isolation between the ports is 21 dB at 1.48 GHz and 39.25 dB at 2.59GHz. The measured gains in the broadside directions are 6.2 dB and 5.5 dB at the respective frequencies.","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"31 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":"127624181","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 FSS consists of square loops connected through varactor diodes across the diagonals. By controlling the reverse voltage of the varactors, the resonance frequency can be tuned for a wide frequency range. Full-wave simulation shows 21% tuning range from 2.31 GHz to 2.79 GHz with respect to lower resonance frequency. The novelty of the design lies in its four-fold symmetry, which makes the structure polarization-insensitive. The FSS is also angularly stable under oblique incidence for both TE and TM polarizations. Additionally, an equivalent circuit model has been introduced to explain the resonance mechanism of the proposed FSS. The structure is also fabricated and measured, where good agreement is observed between simulated and measured responses.","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"5 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":"126830586","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}

This paper presents two different experimental communication set-ups to showcase the limit in each case and methods to achieve those limits. This makes it possible to determine not only whether a communication system or its component will work properly in the real world but also how good its quality is relative to the best achievable quality.

The technique allows for control of FTZs on either sides of the passband without any significant change in the bandwidth or operating frequency of the filter. Because of the high-Q nature of ring resonator, assymetric frequency responses are achieved with an in-band insertion loss <2.9 dB and out-of-band suppression >55 db at 190 MHz from the center-frequency of 2.2 GHz. Additionally, the filter is provided with tunable source-load coupling to isolate the movement of two FTZs.","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"60 3 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":"128961067","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}

A simple, flexible, self-supporting and economical solution for wideband vertical coaxial transition with respect to Microstrip lines for MICs has been brought out in this paper to avoid RF cross overs. It consist of coaxial structure which in turn connected to two microstrip lines in top and bottom side of two different pcbs. The signal is going through two transitions: a) Quasi TEM mode to pure TEM mode and b) TEM mode to Quasi TEM mode. The challenge of this transition is to provide better matching at the transitions to ensure better input and output VSWR, and hence minimum insertion loss for the required frequency band. Insertion loss of max 0.5dB @ 18GHz and return loss more than 20dB for DC-18 GHz frequency band was targeted. Also, the size (length & diameter) of the vertical transition can be customized as per requirement compared to RF glass bead which are available of standard size.","PeriodicalId":166478,"journal":{"name":"2016 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"1 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":"116039275","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}
