When the one wavelength mode of the outer slot and the one-and-a-half wavelength mode of the inner slot are simultaneously excited, the antenna has two CP operating frequencies with a large frequency ratio. A small frequency ratio can also be achieved when the outer and inner annular slots are operated at the one-and-a-half wavelength mode and one wavelength mode, respectively.

Most of the products are tested in anechoic chamber or open site, but in an experiment, it is susceptible to error caused by reflections from the wall because absolute free space could not be achieved with absorber. Then an evaluation value for constructing a better condition of anechoic chamber in which the error is reduced, is required. To design high performance measurement environment and anechoic chamber, we propose an evaluation value using the phase difference between direct wave and reflected wave. The value is introduced with the investigation of the error source by ray-tracing method. The results using proposed value for locating the transmitting point show that it is possible to improve the measurement environment by calculation. Moreover this indicates that the better design of anechoic chambers can be obtained by this value.","PeriodicalId":359125,"journal":{"name":"2012 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings","volume":"19 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":"126463113","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 metamaterial is composed of two metallic sheets with periodic split-ring resonator structures on both sides of a dielectric substrate. By full-wave EM simulations and free space measurements, strong diode-like asymmetric transmission of linearly polarized EM waves through such a thin metamaterial slab, has been demonstrated in the microwave band. It allows transmission of linearly polarized EM wave in one direction, while no transmission in the opposite direction. Such phenomenon is due to the strong cross-polarized conversion in the chiral slab with a thickness of one-fifteenth the operational wavelength that could rotate the linear polarization of the incident waves to its orthogonal polarization.","PeriodicalId":359125,"journal":{"name":"2012 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings","volume":"11 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":"122222680","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 S-parameters of the resulting structures have been measured at room temperature in the frequency range from 10 MHz to 67 GHz for back-gate voltages up to 37 V. Measurements show a roughly back-gate independent contact resistance (~ 900 Ωμm) and a highly rise in channel resistance from 20 Ω to 2.34 kΩ when increasing the back-gate voltage from 0 V to 37 V (Dirac point).
