Lossless FR4 is used as the substrate with a permittivity of 4.3, and the project is simulated based on CST STUDIO SUITE. The size of the proposed antenna is $26times 30times 1.536 text{mm}^{3}$. Rectangular slots, H-shaped slot with inner gap and partially covered ground plane are three main design techniques applied. The resonant frequency, S-Parameters and bandwidth in each area of the spectrum are three main criteria used to assess the antenna's performance. Referring to the optimization of the design, antenna parameter analysis is conducted by plotting series of $S_{11}$ curves representing variation in the parameter that matters to achieve the desired specifications. It turns out that the first resonant frequency in 5.8 GHz ISM spectrum is 5.76 GHz with a bandwidth of 160 MHz covering 5.696 ∼ 5.856 GHz. The second resonance in SHF spectrum is at 26 GHz with a broad bandwidth covering 22.4 ∼ 31.3 GHz.","PeriodicalId":305829,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116266253","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}

To overcome the drawbacks of traditional phase demodulation which has to find direct current (DC) offsets for accurate detection, we propose the improved arc-chord approximation approach to avoid the complex and unstable result in linear demodulation. The crucial fitting procedure in the arc-chord approximation is innovatively implemented by the mean of vector phase (MVP) method.

More importantly, compared with other devices, this sensor affords visual temperature imaging, which provides the precise monitoring of large-area temperature. All these advantages are due to the ingenious configuration of spoof plasmonic meta-waveguide and material characteristics. The phase of plasma wave changes can be nearly $2 pi$ as the $varepsilon^{prime}$ value of polymer-based wave-transparent material only varies ∼5%.
