The blockage loss by a human wearing a down coat was −23 dB, which was 3 dB lower than that of a shirt.","PeriodicalId":433151,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition (iWEM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130633086","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}

In order to suppress grating lobes radiated from a slot array arranged at a spacing of one guided wavelength of the waveguide, it is proposed to arrange dual-ring MSAs with a circumference of approximately 5 wavelengths on the slot array with a dielectric substrate. In this paper, a dual-ring parallelogram MSA excited by an inclined slot on a narrow wall of the waveguide is designed as an element of a 45-degree linearly-polarized planar array by using ANSYS HFSS. The design frequency is 11.2 GHz and an X-band standard waveguide is used. It is confirmed by the simulation that 45-degree linearly polarized radiation as well as a sharp main beam in the waveguide axis plane for grating lobe suppression can be obtained by the designed MSA at the design frequency.","PeriodicalId":433151,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition (iWEM)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124046233","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 proposed antenna consists of two split ring patches arranged concentrically and a feeding L-shaped probe (L-probe) placed on a single-layer dielectric substrate. The two patches are excited by the L-probe and resonate at two different frequencies. In order to realize wideband operation, a thick dielectric substrate with a thickness of approximately 0.1 wavelengths is used. The design frequencies of the proposed antenna are around 9 GHz and 15 GHz. In this paper, the structural parameters of the proposed antenna are tuned by using ANSYS HFSS so as to obtain dual-band and wideband operation at the two design frequencies. The simulated results reveal that fractional bandwidths of less than −10 dB reflection for the two bands are approximately 10%. It is also confirmed by the simulation that stable unidirectional radiation patterns are obtained for the two bands.","PeriodicalId":433151,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition (iWEM)","volume":"176 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129178439","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 horizontal and stepped-impedance (SI) open-circuited slot structure as the radiator are etched in the ground plane and two T -shaped microstrip lines as the feeding line are placed above the horizontal open-slots. A vertical and SI open-circuited slot is also embedded in the ground plane to excite circular polarization around 2.4 GHz and to improve mutual coupling between the two horizontal open-slots. To enhance circular polarization at 5-GHz band, two pairs of two closed slots are etched in the upper and lower parts of the ground plane. From the measured results of the proposed antenna module, the −10 dB impedance bandwidths range from1.72 to 3.93 GHz and from 4.67 to 6.39 GHz. In addition, the in-band isolation is larger than 16 dB. The proposed antenna provides dual-band circular polarization, which covers the triple-band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications, including 2.4, 5.2, and 5.8 GHz.
