Reverberation chambers are convenient platforms to test various shapes and sizes of antennas and are operated over large frequency bandwidths. Various method of measurements are possible including different stirring techniques, but uncertainty must be correctly determined. To do so, we propose a procedure that uses the stochastic nature of the fields. In case of a well-operating reverberation chamber, the measurement error distribution is predicted by the stochastic nature of the fields.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116899233","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}

When using SRRs, there is a weak magnetic coupling since the magnetic field of the line does not fully penetrate through the SRRs. Whereas, when using SSRRs in the ground plane of the conducting line, the coupling is mainly electric due to the strong capacitive coupling created between the line and the inter-SSRRs metal.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115118052","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}

This law states that the antenna radiation quality factor Q (proportional to the ratio of time-average non-propagating energy to radiated power) cannot be smaller than the one obtained if only the lowest spherical order mode is excited out of the minimal sphere containing the antenna. However, some authors have recently contradicted this lower limit of Q, exhibiting antennas overcoming this bound. This paper shows that the contradiction mainly relies on a problem of formulation of the quality factor, resulting in a different definition of Q, compared with the classical one. Nevertheless, this raises the question of the interest of using other expressions of Q, depending on the parameters of the problem to be optimized. In fact, it is shown that, if the goal is to obtain the largest matching bandwidth or efficiency, then the Q factor should not be considered at the frequency point of balance between the electric and magnetic stored energies, as it is classically done. It would rather be calculated at the frequency where the reactive power is null (the antenna is matched) which is generally not equivalent to the stored energies balance for complex multi-mode antennas.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127349356","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}

Then the antenna is integrated at different positions into a model of a DVD player and the impact on the antenna performance is evaluated. Finally the transfer function of the complete system is extracted and used for propagation modeling in an artificial living home environment. The modeling of the complete antenna characteristics is based on FDTD simulations using the EMPIRE™ software. For the propagation modeling the ray-tracing software Wireless Insite is used. The results show that the antenna integration into the chassis leads to a directive radiation pattern that shows significant frequency dependence. Finally first simulation in order to calculate the network coverage in an artificial living room are performed comparing the integrated antenna inside the DVD player with an ideal isotropic antenna.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115997101","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}

Two major phospholipid constituents of biological membranes are considered: DPPC, DOPC. The results obtained for different power levels and irradiation times are compared and discussed. In the case of DPPC lipids, measurements of superficial pressure of the phospholipid membrane showed an increase of surface pressure of the monomolecular layer for a low level of superficial power density. The analysis of images obtained by AFM before and after millimeter wave radiation treatment did not show significant modifications in the structure of the membrane in which the lipids were found in co-existence of two phases (liquid-expanded state and liquid-condensed state).","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129415892","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}
