This technique intends to enhance the susceptibility from external radiated fields while decreases the radiation emissions in out of communication band, improving the overall electromagnetic compatibility performance of the device.

In order to address this concern, the effects of the FSS shielding in a 28GHz 5×5 patch antenna array installed on a generic smart phone was investigated. Numerical results shows that this technique blocks electromagnetic fields generated at lower frequencies as intended, such as those produced by a DDR4 system operating at 3.2GHz, while decreasing the main lobe of the antenna array in less than 0.9dB for a theta scan angle ranging from 0 to 30 deg.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116057363","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 ensures high sensitivity to SOP (State of Polarization) changes due to local birefringence of optical signal keeping high reach of hundreds kilometers of present OTDR technology. The proposed system was tested in a real installed system in one route of 106.70 km with accumulated polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of 31.46 ps.

In comparison with the conventional H-shaped antenna, the H-shaped fractal antennas of level 1 and 2 present a lower first resonant frequency.

Our focus is on a specific class of non-diffracting beams called discrete frozen waves, which are constructed from superpositions of Bessel beams and can be designed to provide virtually any longitudinal intensity pattern of interest. Recently, the LA was applied to frozen waves allowing, for the first time, for the analysis of light scattering problems from spherical scatterers and the subsequent determination of the physical/optical quantities in optical trapping. Since the LA cannot be rigorously applied to Bessel beams, it is of interest to determine whether those results and predictions previously established in the literature are reliable or not. To do so, we rely on exact descriptions of frozen waves and establish the limits to the validity of such an approximation scheme. It is revealed that, although serious doubts can be raised against its use, specially due to cumulative errors, the LA is much more robust than previously thought, and it may serve well to both paraxial and non-paraxial Frozen Waves, under certain circumstances.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124488156","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 suppression of grating lobes is shown by comparisons with results obtained with a standard uniform linear array for two cases: standard beam pointing to the boresight, and main beam with squared cosecant shape.
