Further, we have been investigating a method for estimating the position of a foreign object using measurement results and simulation results. In this paper, as a first step in constructing the estimation method of it, time-domain analyses of measured and simulated microwave signals are discussed. In addition, we investigate a detail of the transmission characteristic of the microwaves propagating along the FRPM pipe wall. The time-domain responses of the simulated microwave signals by using a theoretical equation based on a FRPM slab guide model were in good agreement with that of the measured results. Thereby, we found that the microwaves propagating along the FRPM pipe wall can be represented with the theoretical equation based on the propagating model along the FRPM slab with periodic boundary condition corresponding to the expanded pipe wall. The time-domain analysis of the microwave guided-modes enables us to have easy-to-use inspection methods for various buried pipelines.","PeriodicalId":170627,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"27 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130646864","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 proposes the design of a circular polarization microstrip antenna for microwave radio communication with range frequency of 10750–10950 MHz. Circular polarization with axial ratio ≤ 3 dB is obtained by using a truncated corner technique, whereas to increase bandwidth an array method with 4×2 elements is used. The type of substrate used is Arlon LX 217 with εr of 2.2, thickness (h) of 0.587 mm and loss tangent (tan a) 0.0009. From the simulation results of proposed antenna obtained bandwidth impedance with return loss ≤ −10 dB and VSWR ≤ 2 is 1449 MHz with a frequency range 10511–11960 MHz. Furthermore, the axial ratio of the proposed antenna is 1.468 dB while gain is 10.56 dB at working frequency of 10850 MHz.

In simulation, the amplitudes of differential signals are −5.2dB and −5.18dB, respectively, which are smaller than the goal of −3dB. This is due to the high insertion loss of the transition region. The phase difference between two balanced ports is almost 180 degrees.
