In practical testing, locating a suitable test site for the far-field method becomes challenging due to the requisite antenna separation. The conventional near-field method necessitates the extraction of the antenna’s near-field distribution, resulting in a testing system of intricate complexity and diminished efficiency. Therefore, the traditional near-field method cannot be directly applied in HPM systems. In the present study, a new EIRP measurement method for HPM systems based on near-field testing was proposed. First, a monitoring antenna of a considerable scale is positioned within the near-field vicinity of the HPM antenna to capture radiation power, thereby deriving its equivalent input power. Subsequently, according to the EIRP definition and the measured gain of the HPM antenna, the EIRP of the HPM system can be acquired. Theoretical research on this measurement method was conducted, the electromagnetic simulation model was constructed, and a comprehensive analysis through simulation was undertaken. A measurement system was developed and verified experimentally. The results demonstrate the precision of this approach in determining the EIRP of the HPM system, thereby serving as a valuable tool for assessing the power-handling capability of the HPM antenna. The test error is ±0.5 dB.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139764838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large array of 256 log-periodic dipole antennas, installed on top of a 42 m circular ground plane, will work as an SKA-Low station in the frequency range of 50–350 MHz. In this article, the ground plane-induced effects are examined in terms of antenna beam spectral characteristics, while different antenna placements are considered. Results are produced both at the isolated antenna and at the array level in the band 50–100 MHz, by employing an approximate method for the speeding-up of array simulations. We attempt to distinguish the ground plane effect from that of mutual coupling among antennas, which appears to be more severe at specific frequencies, using 2 figures of merit. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) components of gain pattern ratios identify the fundamental spatial components of the ripple, while the envelope correlation coefficient quantifies the penalty to considering an infinite ground plane.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139764888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A basic square loop incorporated with folded arms in the top layer constructs the single-layer FSS design. Band-stop characteristics for the entire L-band operating frequency ranging from 1 GHz to 2 GHz are offered by the proposed design. An ultraminiaturized profile of 0.028<i>λ</i><i>ο</i> × 0.028<i>λ</i><i>ο</i> is achieved by the designed FSS, where <i>λ</i><i>ο</i> corresponds to the lowest operating frequency, achieving at least 32.1% miniaturization when compared to the state-of-the-art FSS designs in the literature. Polarization insensitivity with a peak shielding effectiveness of 45.4 dB is manifested by the rotational symmetry of the proposed design. The proposed FSS exhibits excellent angular stability performance up to 80° with a frequency deviation of less than 1%. The equivalent circuit model helps to understand the working principle of the proposed FSS. The experimental results of the designed FSS prototype agree well with the simulation results. Hence, the proposed spatial filter is a suitable candidate for enhancing security in wireless communication at the carrier frequencies of GPS systems.","PeriodicalId":54392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139764778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed antenna structure radiates from <i>H</i>-shaped slot, which is etched on top of the SIW rectangular cavity, and is excited by two separate 50 Ω microstrip feed lines. The <i>H</i>-shaped slot is a combination of two vertical slots and one horizontal slot; because of that the presented antenna radiates at two distinct frequency bands around 8.95 GHz and 10 GHz, simultaneously. The design methodology results show that the <i>H</i>-shaped slot is significantly more effective than various other slots in the proposed geometry to suppress the unwanted harmonics, attaining good impedance matching and bandwidths and achieving better isolation between these two ports. Hence, the complete design mechanism helped to achieve self-diplexing characteristics. Furthermore, a self-diplexing <i>H</i>-shaped SIW rectangular cavity-backed antenna was fabricated and characterized for the complete demonstration purpose and found good covenants between the simulated one. Measured results show that the presented designed has impedance bandwidths for the lower and upper frequency bands of around 2.0% (8.89–9.03 GHz) and 3.1% (10.01–10.32 GHz), respectively, and obtained maximum measured gain of 5.11 dBi and 5.41 dBi at 8.95 GHz and 10.15 GHz, respectively.
