The first one directly evolves from a common planar capacitively loaded loop (CLL)-based filter possessing a flat realized gain response within the operational band and good band-edge selectivity. The second filtenna consists of a driven element augmented with a CLL structure and with slots etched into its ground plane. It expands the fractional impedance bandwidth of the first case from 6.28 percent up to 7.9 percent. It also has a gain response that remains flat over its operational bandwidth and even higher band-edge selectivity. Both filtennas are electrically small with ka less than 1. The experimental results, which are in good agreement with their simulated values, demonstrate that both filtennas exhibit excellent impedance matching, high radiation efficiency, flat gain response, and steep skirts at both band edges. Moreover, they produce monopole radiation patterns that are uniform and nearly omnidirectional in their H-planes.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114150103","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}

First, two wideband CP reconfigurable antennas with the broadside radiation patterns are presented. One design was realized by four sequentially-rotated monopoles with an output reconfigurable feed network. Another design adopted L-probes fed square patch that reduced the profile to 0.1 λ0. Second, rather than producing the broadside radiation pattern, a wideband CP reconfigurable wheel-shaped antenna with the conical-beam pattern is introduced, which is intended for geostationary satellite applications. Third, in addition to the polarization reconfigurability, a wideband CP antenna with switchable broadside and conical-beam patterns is presented, which excites both TMn and $mathbf{TM}_{21}$ modes on an annular slotted circular patch radiator. All the above CP polarization and pattern reconfigurable antennas are attractive for the emerging wireless communication systems, especially the satellite communication systems.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130395379","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 general dispersion theory of SPP mode on the structure is investigated by a modal expansion method. Solving field expressions on different regions and using proper periodic boundary conditions, the analytical dispersion expressions of SPP mode are obtained on the bilayer graphene ribbon arrays for the first time. With this result, the SPP characteristics of dispersion and propagation loss can be calculated and analyzed with graphene and structural parameters. The proposed SPP modes on the bilayer graphene ribbon arrays metasurface can open up new ways to develop some functional devices such as low-loss sub-wavelength plasmonic waveguide, planar retroreflectors and the enhanced terahertz radiation source.","PeriodicalId":221352,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics (ICCEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125340194","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}
