Different trace lengths and trace shapes have been considered to explore the response from worst-case coupled voltage under external electromagnetic field. As a first step, the coupled voltage to loads of a straight PCB trace is analytically calculated and compared with existing full-wave electromagnetic (EM) solver over a particular frequency spectrum. The worst-case coupled voltage, which is derived using the Parseval’s theorem averages out the frequency dependent coupled voltage for a certain trace length. The final comparative results indicate that a specific PCB trace shape couples less to EM field irrespective of its length.","PeriodicalId":438881,"journal":{"name":"2020 XXXIIIrd General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science","volume":"277 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123113183","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 distribution is then implemented into an analytical framework based on stochastic geometry, so we can obtain a close form expression of the downlink exposure.","PeriodicalId":438881,"journal":{"name":"2020 XXXIIIrd General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124876709","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 first prototype is a conventional inset fed rectangular patch antenna operating at 3.51 GHz which is among the early phase 5G frequency spectrum. The antenna has a return loss level of -37.97 dB and a 10 dB bandwidth of 114.8 MHz. In order to achieve lower return loss levels and improved bandwidth RSS are etched on the radiating part and ground plane. Detailed analysis of the effects of RSS on the characteristics of patch antenna are performed. The results have shown that the final antenna has a 10 dB bandwidth of 116.4 MHz with a return loss level of -55.42 dB which is a 1600 Hz increase in bandwidth and 17.45 dB decrease in return loss levels compared to the reference antenna. As a result of these improved radiation characteristics, the proposed antenna is a suitable candidate for the early phase 5G applications.","PeriodicalId":438881,"journal":{"name":"2020 XXXIIIrd General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science","volume":"682 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116109882","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}

Three different phase detrending methods, namely, three cascaded second-order high pass filters, six order Butterworth filter conducted by cascading six first-order high pass Butterworth filters, and Fast Iterative Filter (FIF) are considered in this paper. The study exploits real GNSS signals (GPS L1, Galileo E1b) affected by significant phase scintillation effects, collected in early September 2017 at Brazilian Centro de Radioastronomia e Astrofisica Mackenzie (CRAAM) monitoring station and at Adventdalen (Svalbard, Norway) research station.

This method neither uses any active radio frequency (RF) components nor physical tilting of any antenna part. It is for these reasons that this method yield antenna systems that superior to traditional electronically scanned phased array and mechanically rotated beamsteering antennas. The antenna systems can be developed for a range of applications including inflight connectivity, low-cost satellite terminal antennas to provide connectivity at remote places, and high-power micro- and millimetre-wave applications. The dynamic phase transformation that is achieved by the rotation of two metasurfaces, in a proof-of-concept prototype reported in 2017, indicate that an antenna beam can be scanned in a conical region having an apex angle of 102°.","PeriodicalId":438881,"journal":{"name":"2020 XXXIIIrd General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114502942","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}

Although these two processes are coupled, in simulations, they are often modeled separately due to the large difference between the frequencies of optical and THz electromagnetic waves. To model both processes in a single simulation, we propose a dual-mesh discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme. Optoelectronic interactions and THz radiation are accounted for by solving, respectively, a coupled system of Maxwell and drift-diffusion equations discretized on a fine mesh and only the Maxwell equations discretized on a coarse mesh. This approach uses an efficient high-order interpolation scheme to “connect” electric field and current discretized on these two meshes. The proposed scheme is validated against experimental results.","PeriodicalId":438881,"journal":{"name":"2020 XXXIIIrd General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129774346","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}
