In this paper, the antenna bending effects particularly the frequency detuning are analysed and compared with the initial performance in flat conditions. A normalised frequency shift of less than 5% has been reported and discussed along with the numerical result of axial ratio, radiation pattern and CP characteristics. This study indicates that the frequency shift is more significant in the E-plane bent condition. On the other hand, the axial ratio is sensitive during bending in both planes and has changed the polarisation characteristic.","PeriodicalId":177263,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics (APACE)","volume":"572 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123122494","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}

In this work, an investigation was done for near field measurement. To measure in the near field region, a 3-axis probe station needed to be developed. This probe station consists of a robot arm that can move in 3-axis directions and a probe to measure near field. AR tags are used to represent the measurement points in the simulation.

An accurate prediction of wave propagation between the transmitter and receiver through such rain profiles could be derived based on the physical soundness of local peculiarities. This work aims to investigate such knowledge of small-scale rain profiles by means of rain gauge networks data in UTM, Johor, Malaysia. Several rain events were carefully selected and critically analyzed to identify the small-scale spatial distribution of rainfall intensity. Such preliminary work focuses only on the low rain rate profile below 50 mm/h. The initial results obtained in this work are encouraging and suggest that the low rain intensity profile follows exponential distribution; however, the soundness of the results should be further examined with respect to the complete rain cell profile in this region. Nevertheless, it is believed that this work should provide radio propagation engineers with an early insight into the design of the 5G system in heavy rain regions.","PeriodicalId":177263,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics (APACE)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127164233","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}
