Fractal slots of triangular shape are created to achieve wide bandwidth (BW). To further improve the bandwidth of DRA, stacking of two different DR materials is considered along with introduction of small parasitic conducting patches. The combination of fractal design, stacking and use of parasitic patches helps in achieving the UWB performance. About 116.7% simulated impedance bandwidth covering frequency range from 3.5 to 13.3 GHz (entire C-and X-band) is achieved. Average gain of about 7 dBi and 98.8% radiation efficiency over the entire band of interest are achieved. All designs parameters and its associated results are included in the paper.","PeriodicalId":397541,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Applied Electromagnetics Conference (AEMC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126455831","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 facilitate simulations, the dielectric lenses are divided into segments, in correspondence with the elements of the reflectarray, and S11/S21 comparisons made between appropriate segments/elements.

The SRRs reduce the operating frequency of the slot-loop, leading to miniaturized antenna footprint of 0.059λ2 (λ being the operating wavelength). Also the SRRs significantly enhance the inter-element isolation (>20 dB) in the working band. The proposed two-element MIMO slot-loop antenna exhibits bi-directional broadside radiation pattern with realized gain > 2 dBi in the operating band. Also the evaluated MIMO performance metrics like envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), channel capacity loss (CCL) and total active reflection coefficient (TARC), indicate satisfactory diversity performance.

The metasurface introduces abrupt phase change to the incident EM waves and thus provides flexibility for the out-going beam directions. As a proof of concept, two gradient metasurfaces are designed and simulated. The two metasurfaces are comprised of three and ten number of unit cells (UCs) respectively. The first MS with three UCs introduces high phase gradient in the direction of E-field and causes high deflection to incoming EM waves. In contrast, the second MS with ten UCs, provides low phase gradient which is attributed to less deflection but better side lobe level (SLL). The qualitative analysis of both designs is shown and results are validated through Fermat's principle.","PeriodicalId":397541,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Applied Electromagnetics Conference (AEMC)","volume":"340 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134100756","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}
