Thanks to the Fano resonance, a window will emerge in the transmission spectral of resonator. Both radiative damping and non-radiative damping exist in the window. Non-radiative damping is very easy to be interfered, a little change in the background can result in big change of the window, so it is promising for sensor application. Here, an Arm asymmetric metamaterial has been proposed. In X-axis direction the arm is asymmetry, the Fano resonance can be tuned by changing the asymmetric factor $S$. The sum of $S_{11}^{2}+S_{21}^{2}=0.239$ when $S=5mu mathrm{m}$, energy have been loss since non-radiative damping, so the sensor will be sensitive. And when $Sgeq 12mu mathrm{m}$, a length of the spectral of window is above −3 dB. So, the resonator can be used as switch. A column of biased diodes has been proposed to add in the metamaterial. Changing the electric potential difference between biased diode, on and off of biased diodes can be controlled. So, the switch on and off state is realized. And the length of arm is decided by how many biased diodes are needed to be ON, the passband of switch can be tuned.","PeriodicalId":446190,"journal":{"name":"2019 PhotonIcs & Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS-Spring)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125124415","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}

Our concept of a wireless charging station (WCS) exploits the inductive power transmission (IPT) of electrical energy; the actual device principally consists of a dock and a charger. The experimental setup comprises a transmission coil operating at frequencies up to 108 kHz; a circular spiral coil on the receiving and transmitting sides; a rectifier with a step-down converter; and controllers. In terms of defining the main parameters, we compute the wireless power transfer (WPT) efficiency and simulate the magnetic field of the coils, using CST EM studio to execute the latter procedure. The behavior of the field is shown for different coil positions. As regards the functional processes, we can stress that the wireless modules communicate in the ISM band, employing GFSK modulation, and that they monitor the voltage and current in the charger, thus helping to detect improper positioning of the coils. Generally, the applied methodology and its practical embodiments may also facilitate accurate landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), substituting the landing scenario where a camera and quick response (QR) code detection are needed. Precise UAV guidance towards the station, however, requires the global position system (GPS). A minor problem emerges in relation to the energy transfer: an electromagnetic field (EMF) is generated between the coils, and this field has to be eliminated due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Such a spurious effect may affect the guidance and information systems, possibly causing major errors in the electronics. The station is designed to recharge low voltage and low power devices, including those operating on separated extra low voltage (SELV).","PeriodicalId":446190,"journal":{"name":"2019 PhotonIcs & Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS-Spring)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125842271","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}

It is shown that at frequencies above 10 MHz, the differences in the complex relative dielectric permittivity (CRP) of silica gels with different pore sizes with the same moisture are negligible. In two samples of silica gel with similar values of the maximum amount of adsorbed water the CRP depends mainly on the size of internal pores. The CRP values of the third sample differ from the CRP of other samples due to the higher content of adsorbed water. The relaxation processes observed in the studied frequency range exist only in the presence of adsorbed water.
