For the antenna design, the Gielis’ superformula has been used, generating a bioinspired form in the anemone (flower). Thus, numerical and experimental analyzes have been performed, always observing the changes caused by the insertion of CSRRs, mainly observing a control of band and retreat in the resonance frequency, allowing the process of miniaturization..

It is essential that any measuring equipment, installed in the burner line, does not obstruct the flow of gas, so as not to cause a significant pressure drop. For these types of measurements many sensor technologies are available, however they are all very expensive, in the order of several thousands of dollars. Therefore, this paper presents an optoelectronic sensor solution characterized by its small dimensions, electromagnetic free interference and fast response time, besides its non-flammable property.","PeriodicalId":175865,"journal":{"name":"2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127588960","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 prerequisite for such a simulated outcome is the adequate reflection of reality in the model. Moreover, field measurements are extremely resource-intensive for communication testing in rail transport. These two aspects lead to the fact that high quality channel models are essential in this industrial sector and the only way to obtain results regarding communication performance rapidly and without massive effort. After preliminary work has identified unexplored effects in train-onboard communication during tunnel crossing at high speeds, this work focuses on the creation of a channel model for such a scenario. By analyzing many channel impulse responses, it is the intention to gain an improved knowledge of interference effects and to transfer this scenario into a statistical channel model. After an appropriate verification, this enables the execution of several simulations in the context of 5G and the optimal setting of various communication parameters. A realistic evaluation is thus possible in a purely virtual way as finally presented by results of two applied channel models.","PeriodicalId":175865,"journal":{"name":"2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134250381","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}

For the characterization, the coaxial probe method was used for frequencies between 1 and 5 GHz. The Vector Network Analyzer 16451B and the software Dielectric Probe 85070 manufactured by Agilent were used. Measurements were performed on the outer part of the fruit, on the shell and also on the inside, relating the results to the maturation index of the mango, identified by the yellowish tone in its shell, as well as the amount of soluble solids (amount of sugar). The results allowed to correlate the dielectric characteristics of the fruit with the physical-chemical transformations that occurred in the maturation process of the mango, as well as the sugar content. The lowest value was determined for the dielectric constant and for the tangent of losses on the day of the fruit’s peak maturity. The results show that it is possible to identify the properties of the mango studied through non-invasive measures on the fruit peel.","PeriodicalId":175865,"journal":{"name":"2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125593357","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}
