The current S-band and X-band frequency allocations in use by NASA, however, are incapable of supporting the data rates required to meet this demand. As such, NASA is in the planning stages to upgrade its existing Near Earth Network (NEN) polar ground stations to support Ka-band (25.5-27 GHz) operations. Consequently, it becomes imperative that characterization of propagation effects at these NEN sites is conducted to determine expected system performance, particularly at low elevation angles (<; 10deg) where spacecraft signal acquisition typically occurs. Since May 2011, NASA Glenn Research Center has installed and operated a Ka-band radiometer at the NEN site located in Svalbard, Norway. The Ka-band radiometer monitors the water vapor line, as well as 6 frequencies around 26.5 GHz at multiple elevation angles: 45deg, 20deg, and 10deg. Two-year data collection results indicate comparable performance to previously characterized northern latitude sites in the United States, i.e., Fairbanks, Alaska. It is observed that cloud cover at the Svalbard site remains the dominant loss mechanism for Ka-band links, resulting in a margin requirement of 4.1 dB to maintain link availability of 99% at 10deg elevation.","PeriodicalId":22362,"journal":{"name":"The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2014)","volume":"09 1","pages":"3511-3515"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86025871","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 proposed design for the miniaturized wide band patch antenna consists of hybrid techniques of H-shaped slot on the patch and defected ground structure. Defected ground structure is formed by cutting a combination of U and L-shaped slots. Patch and the ground plane are shorted for the further size reduction. These practices increase the current distribution path accompanied by increase in electrical length of the antenna. To validate the design a reference patch antenna is designed and its performance is compared with the proposed antenna. The designed antenna is 86% smaller than the conventional patch antenna. The miniaturized antenna has gain in the range of 4dBi to 5dBi while impedance bandwidth is in the range of 105MHz to 1700MHz. This form of compact wide band antenna is appropriate for numerous wireless communication systems like cell phone, Laptop and Hyperlane.","PeriodicalId":22362,"journal":{"name":"The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2014)","volume":"29 1","pages":"2367-2370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74401541","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}

It is made of a multilayer and periodic structure of printed elements to enhance a single patch element gain from 6 dBi to 19 dBi with radiation efficiency close to 85%. This high radiation efficiency enables to reduce the antenna aperture size. In the literature, the concept of a flat lens with zero index fed symmetrically by a balanced dipole operating at X band is described in [1]. In our study the feeding dipole was replaced by a patch backed by a ground plane and optimized at Ka band. An array of 2×2 patch elements with a flat lens on top was designed and optimized for radiation efficiency, gain and radiation pattern. In the presentation a comparison between measured and computed results will be shown.","PeriodicalId":22362,"journal":{"name":"The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2014)","volume":"27 1","pages":"2607-2609"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77703397","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 discretization with tetrahedrons or hexahedra are the most common techniques for analyzing dielectric volumes with this technique. The simplest methods for the mesh generation and the analysis work with flat elements (every faces of the tetrahedrons or hexahedra are planar), but meshes of high resolution are required to obtain accurate results. In this work, a mesh generator that generates body-fitted hexahedra is presented together an implementation of the Method of Moments that works with NURBS volumes for analyzing this kind of meshes efficiently. The combination of the two techniques allows studying dielectric volumes by using less dense meshes than the required with the planar ones. To validate both methods, different benchmark cases are summed up in the results section.","PeriodicalId":22362,"journal":{"name":"The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2014)","volume":"17 1","pages":"2418-2422"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73332847","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}

Broadband measurements of single tree attenuation were carried out at six locations at the campus of FFI, Kjeller, Norway. The excess vegetation attenuation was measured, utilising a network analyser, between 7.25 and 8 GHz during dry summer conditions. The species investigated were maple, spruce, lime, pine and birch. The elevation angle resembled typical elevation towards geostationary satellites. Reference measurements were performed besides the trees to calibrate the equipment, enabling extraction of the time, and frequency dependent attenuation variations. The signal component propagation through the trees was found to dominate the received power. The effect on attenuation from the main trunk obstructing the path was compared to measurement through branches only, and found to be significantly higher. The measured attenuation was compared with one existing model, showing a relatively large spread around predicted values. The attenuation (in dB) closely resembled a lognormal distribution. The observed attenuation values are expected to cause degraded communication quality during vegetation shadowing for vehicular satellite communication located close to trees.","PeriodicalId":22362,"journal":{"name":"The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2014)","volume":"29 1","pages":"1264-1268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82659732","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}

An exploration of such aspects is the subject of the present work, with specific interest to ground-coupled monostatic and bistatic configurations. In order to address in a consistent way the issues related to the influence of the type of antennas and of the transmitted signal traces, extensive analyses have been performed numerically, based on ad-hoc implementation of a full-wave electromagnetic CAD tool. The relevant effects on the reconstruction of radar sections are evaluated and discussed in a number of test cases for the detection of buried scatterers in scenarios of practical interest.","PeriodicalId":22362,"journal":{"name":"The 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2014)","volume":"78 1","pages":"3584-3586"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88335051","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}

With proper design, the parasitic array excites surface wave propagation in HIS, which can be beneficial to obtain a broad and tilted beam generation. By adjusting the PIN diodes loaded in parasitic strips, two symmetrical steerable-beams are achieved. This antenna has great potential to be used as elements for wide-angle scanning applications. For verification, a novel 1×8 uniformly spaced linear array is designed and fabricated using the proposed pattern-reconfigurable antenna as elements.
