The feed element is designed to produce CP radiation using Bethe holes on the microstrip patch. The resultant microstrip array is compact with a small axial ratio (AR) and excellent CP quality over the entire radiation angle. The design procedure is relatively straightforward.","PeriodicalId":447341,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127810703","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 continued addition of more bands for spectrum sharing to compensate for technical limitations of 5G continues to affect more systems. An approach is presented whereby potential interference victims can be enabled, via adaptivity and reconfigurability, to share spectrum actively with 5G and future-generation transmitters. This approach could re-innovate how the spectrum is shared, and should be used with the rollout of sixth-generation (6G) and future technologies, rather than as a reaction to unplanned interference. A forward-thinking outlook involves parallel development of technology and policy to enable incumbent safety systems to use spectrum in an adaptive and reconfigurable manner.","PeriodicalId":447341,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121909693","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 this paper, a novel real-time underground monitoring and wireless communication system has been developed. The system includes an array of toroidal transceivers winding around the highly conductive casing string for wireless data transfer between the surface and deep subsurface and energized casing technique is utilized to charge the toroidal transceivers and subsurface sensors. This novel wireless telemetry system will help to maintain well integrity and reduce potential leakage by eliminating the need for perforated casing or an umbilical in the cement annulus since no direct path of fluid leakage is induced by this wireless system. The metal casing amplification enhances the wireless signal and wireless power transfer efficiency, which provides a highly conductive path instead of omnidirectional radiation. More improvements in wireless power efficiency are analyzed. A scaled-down experiment is used to validate the simulation.","PeriodicalId":447341,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127837763","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}

Prior works that demonstrated wireless power transmission schemes using ultrawideband signals, were limited in terms of the transmitter system design along with the antenna design optimization to deliver the highest power and improve the PTE. To overcome these constraints, this paper presents the design of a four-channel IR-UWB transmitter system for a 2 X 2 quadrature phased array antenna using the standard 180 nm CMOS process. The system consists of a voltage-controlled ring oscillator (VCRO) which achieves a linear frequency range of 2.31 – 8.03 GHz by tuning the control voltage from 0.1 – 0.9 V. The designed impulse generator can generate as low as 435 ps impulse signal with 100 MHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The impulse is delayed by controlling the delay control voltages of the two double-inverter based delay blocks thus achieving a delay range of 160 to 260 ps. The designed class-C power amplifier can deliver as high as 32.2 dBm output power at 3 GHz achieving a gain of 14.2 dB and a power added efficiency (PAE) of 50.1 %.","PeriodicalId":447341,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126970784","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}
