The design procedure can be applied in tunable cavities and bandpass filters with shunt reactance of symmetrical inductive window, and regarding the application technologies, rectangular waveguide resonators and resonant cavities in SIW can be employed due to the equivalence of operation between both technologies. Its straightforward application allows a frequency variation of up to 20% using only one metal post which allows the reduction of the fabrication cost and the preservation of the frequency response across the considered bandwidth. To validate the design procedure, two resonant cavities were fabricated, a rectangular resonant cavity designed to operate at 5.0 GHz and 6.0 GHz and a square resonant cavity designed to operate at 6.0 GHz and 7.2 GHz, and frequency variations of 17.74% and 21.81% were obtained for the rectangular and square cavities, respectively. Still regarding the reached results, was verified a mean error of 1.75% for the predicted resonance frequency, which validates the design procedure. The experimental results are in good agreement with the full-wave computational results and electromagnetic theory.","PeriodicalId":53567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Electromagnetic Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42385512","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 research, several design options have been considered which applied the variation of the metamaterial cells design and parameters. For their analysis, the Numerical modeling methods in Ansys EM Suite program were used due to the complexity of describing the interaction of metamaterial cells of non-Euclidean geometry with radio waves. Evaluation and comparison of proposed metacells have been held based on the following characteristics: the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability as a function of frequency. Results of the researches have demonstrated the possibility of realization of double negative metamaterial (DNG) mode in the metamaterial cells based on the double Moebius strip. The strip width, its thickness, the interstrip gap, as well as the radius of the cylinder within which the metamaterial cell may be enabled, were used as mechanical parameters of the metacells. It is essential that 10-fold and more increase of the dimensions of metamaterial cell would be required for the obtainment of the same possibilities based on the classical split ring resonator (SRR). What concerns the entire scope of the potential ring options from among the considered ones, the ring with the internal area in the form of the Star of David provides the widest transmission band in the low frequency DNG mode. The corresponding area extends up to the transition frequency of 720 MHz. Moreover, the singular ring displays the invariance of the space orientation towards the presence of the DNG mode in low frequency region, when being used as the basis for the metacell.","PeriodicalId":53567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Electromagnetic Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44798626","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 proposed structure comprises of a truncated rectangular patch antenna having its ground plane defected by slots etched on it to achieve compactness and wide impedance bandwidth. Electromagnetic Band Gap structures have the attractive feature of in-phase reflection and stopband creation for surface waves, enabling the surface waves to be suppressed; this, in turn, leads to enhanced performance of the antenna when loaded with such structures. For enhancing the functioning of the antenna with regard to its impedance bandwidth, axial ratio bandwidth and gain, seven NCEBG’s are etched on the substrate which surrounds the truncated patch. Additionally, the antenna proposed in this research exhibits compactness with a low profile of 0.473 λo x 0.473 λo x 0.039 λo (λo at center frequency of 7.46GHz represents free space wavelength). The measured outcomes of the prototype-fabricated antenna match well with the results of the simulation, showing 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 13.66% and an impedance bandwidth of 73.29% having a peak gain of 7.32dBi in the operating band.

The structure’s electromagnetic response is obtained from the Generalized Coefficients Model, considering TM excitation performed in a frequency range from 1 to 4Thz. In this approach, we evaluate the sensor response for two, three, four and five layers of graphene, equally doped. To verify the effects of MLG doping, we varied the chemical potential by 0.35eV and 0.70eV. As a result, we present the plasmonic response of the device, verifying the operating frequency range for each case of multilayer graphene. In addition, the sensitivity, FWHM and Figure of Merit (FOM) are calculated to describe the sensor performance in each demonstrated case. From the results presented, we verified that the increase in doping reduces the sensitivity of the sensor, however, it improves its FOM.

The coherent amplitude-based DAS presented a lower background noise. In contrast, even though the Sagnac interferometry-based system presented low-frequency noise in the measurements, it is less susceptible to harmonic distortion for higher amplitude deformations since its sensing principles rely on the measurement of the accumulated phase rather than the amplitude of the backscattered signal purely.

The concept of the centralized RAN (C-RAN) allows all the baseband processing to be performed in the central office, simplifying the network deployment and also allowing the operators to dynamically control the PHY according with the applications requirements. The radio-frequency (RF) signal generated by the C-RAN can be transported to the remote radio unit (RRU) by using a radio over fiber (RoF) system. In this paper, we propose two RoF approaches for composing the transport and access networks of the next-generation systems. The first investigation relies on the implementation of a machine learning-based digital pre-distortion (DPD), designed for RoF systems. In the second approach, we implement an RoF system and characterize the optical and electrical power levels aiming to reduce the RoF non-linear distortions.
