Additionally, a cylindrical extraction technique is adopted to account for the curvature of metasurfaces. As a proof of concept, a practical, coaxially-fed azimuthal mode converter is presented and verified using a commercial full-wave electromagnetic solver.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130082403","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}

Findings reveal that for highly resonant objects, the resonance frequency obtained using CMA approaches the natural resonance frequency obtained using SEM. However, for lower aspect ratio objects, the resonance frequency obtained using CMA is not equal to the natural resonance frequency attained using SEM.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131800707","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 harmonic sensor has a 3D form factor, is constructed from printed circuit board pieces, and operates at 1.2 GHz (receive) and 2.4 GHz (transmit). The system operates by interrogating a sensor that is embedded in the concrete under test using a wireless reader and correlating variation in signal strength received back from the sensor with the complex permittivity of the concrete. Empirical results from tests of sand-water mixtures, sand-ionic solution mixtures, and cement mortar mixtures are presented. The data demonstrate high sensitivity in signal strength versus moisture and ionic content for relatively low, realistic moisture conditions.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125242551","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}
