The total field in multilayered formation consists of two parts: direct wave field and reflected wave fields from bottom and top layers. Generalized reflection and transmission matrices are derived to express the wave fields in arbitrary layers. The numerical results show good agreement with the finite element results.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116758462","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 CS based DoA estimation systems, analog outputs of the antenna elements are compressed by a matrix called sensing matrix and digitized after compression. This operation reduces the number of analog-to-digital converters in the hardware implementation. However, constraints resulting from hardware implementation of sensing matrices are not considered in general which can drastically increase the system complexity. In this study, we propose a novel adaptive sensing matrix design methodology by including such hardware implementation constraints.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114667100","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 wearable electronics industry itself is expected to grow up to $54 billion by 2023 [1]. Smart watches capable of various IoT and health data acquisition applications account for a significant portion of the wearable market. These devices are capable of extracting health data such as heart and respiratory rate, step count and even EKG snapshots. However, multiple devices are needed for accurate data which directly impacts everyday practicality as at any given moment a finite number of devices can be worn by an individual. With increasing demand for advanced features such as gesture control and high speed (5G) wireless IoT device interface, multiple wearable sensors/devices are needed. This has prompted development of unified wearable electronics where the devices are either part of or made of everyday clothing materials. In this article a novel antenna topology on fabric substrates for on-body motion detection for health monitoring applications is presented. The design process for the antenna fabrication via screen printing on fabric substrates is outlined along with antenna response on human skin.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130485627","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}

Each column of unit cells on the metasurface can be independently, temporally modulated, allowing space-time modulation along one axis. The time-modulation of adjacent columns is staggered to establish a desired modulation wavenumber. A homogenized model of the metasurface is proposed that includes the discretization of the spatial modulation. Compared to the continuous spatial modulation commonly assumed in earlier works, the discretized modulation allows new phenomena such as subharmonic mixing. Specifically, when the reflection phase is a sawtooth function in time, subharmonic frequency translation can be achieved without additional filtering and mixing circuitry. Measurement results validating the theoretical findings are presented at 10 GHz.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"27 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123779954","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 paper is summarized from our measurement-based studies where we establish an analytical model and analyze the statistical behaviors of multi-mode channels in spherical vector wave (SVW) domain. The multi-mode channels represent radio wave propagation in the form of SVW mode coupling between link ends. The multi-mode channels do not rely on particular realizations of antennas at link ends, since any transmitting, receiving, and scattering fields associated with an antenna can be modeled as a weighted sum of SVW modes where different antennas have different complex-valued mode weights. The multi-mode channel can be converted from plane wave channel model parameters that we always extract from measurable channel transfer functions, and can also be measured directly with dedicated array design at link ends. The multi-mode channels can be used directly to compute the spatial degree-of-freedom which poses an upper-limit of the antenna channels when specific antennas are deployed, as well as the intrinsic channel capacity that depends on the propagation condition and antenna’s electric size (only). The multi-mode channel behaviors in an urban microcellular scenario have been investigated as to power imbalance, small-scale fading, auto- and cross-correlations. These behaviors provide invaluable insights into the design of antenna systems tailored to a specific propagation environment. Antenna systems at link ends should be devised such that the multi-mode channels with higher power, larger coherent distance and smaller cross-correlation be excited to fully exploit the degree of freedom of propagation channel.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"398 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121316036","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}
