Then sometimes the communications are interrupted, because the receiving satellite signal level decreases when the ship's body shadows the antenna. Thus it is important to evaluate how qualities of satellite communications vary during ship operations. However, precise temporal level fluctuations during ship movement are not yet studied. In this paper, to evaluate temporal variances of receiving satellite signal level of the ship in motion, modeling and numerical simulations were performed with considering the effect that the ship's body shadows the antennas. Effects of pitching, rolling and yawing were taken into accounting the calculations. In addition, electric field levels around the ship were estimated when transmitting antennas are in proximity to the ship body.","PeriodicalId":359125,"journal":{"name":"2012 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127113338","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}

We could determine the optimal duty cycle and waveforms to achieve the best performance according to the current through the load. Therefore, the PCE can be improved under constraint of low input power for biomedical applications. The WPT system and biomedical WPT system were established to perform wireless biomedical experimental verification. From the measurement, the PCE applying to a LED load can be improved by more than 30% at input power of -6 dBm with PWM WPT, and the PCE can be improved by 2.5 times by using PWFM WPT for biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":359125,"journal":{"name":"2012 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123574804","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 new topology using two MOSFETs is adopted without the need for an additional LO power combiner.
