The unit cell of the converter is constructed using lossy silicon dioxide (SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) with a relative permittivity of 3.9 as the substrate. And two similar layers of graphene-based sub-wavelength structures are used at the top and bottom of it. Multiband linear to circular polarization conversion is achieved from 0.74 THz to 0.98 THz, 1.70 THz to 2.33 THz, and 4.06 THz to 5.19 THz, i.e., about 28 %, 31 %, and 24 % fractional bandwidths, respectively. As the same metasurface configuration is used at the top and bottom layers of the transmission-type unit cell, it can be used as a bidirectional polarization converter with identical responses from both sides. The geometrical optimization of the unit cell is done, and an equivalent lumped parameter circuit model is also proposed for the same, considering analogous responses. Tunability over the operating frequency is achieved by varying the chemical potential and relaxation time of graphene. Moreover, due to the ultrathin width and special types of identical configuration of the metasurfaces, the response of the system remains excellent over a wide range of incident angle variations up to 80° angle of incidence.","PeriodicalId":55143,"journal":{"name":"Frequenz","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141742040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communication systems stands as a nascent technological innovation poised to revolutionize the landscape of wireless communication systems. It distinguishes itself through its hallmark features, notably an exceptionally high data transmission rate, expanded network capacity, minimal latency, and a commendable quality of service. The most important issue in wireless communication is a precision antenna array design. The success of this design depends on suppressing the maximum sidelobe levels (MSLs) values of the antenna in the far-field radiation region as much as possible. The AOS, which is a rapid and flexible search algorithm, is a novel physics-based algorithm. The amplitudes and inter-element spacing of CCAAs are optimally determined by utilizing AOS to the reduction of the MSLs. In this study, CCAAs with three and four rings are considered. The number of elements of these CCAAs has been determined as 4–6–8, 8–10–12 and 6–12–18–24. The radiation patterns obtained with AOS are compared with the results available in the literature and it is seen that the results of the AOS method are better.","PeriodicalId":55143,"journal":{"name":"Frequenz","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140841626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design of the antenna operates for WiMAX, WirelssLAN, frequency bands which possess a compact size of 60 mm × 40 mm × 0.256 mm. The antenna utilizes modified square shape stubs and defected ground and achieves dual-band resonance by using circular shapes at the corners and a slot in the center position. The rectangular and circular slots enable resonance at 4.3 GHz & 5 GHz, and also has a low impedance matching with better radiation of omnidirectional patterns. It was determined that the MIMO antenna under consideration reaches a maximum gain of 6.5 dB and 4 dBi at 4.3 GHz and 5 GHz, respectively. When tested at theta = 30° and phi = 90°, this MIMO antenna shows very little backward radiation, exactly −5 dB. The authors have attained reliable communication by fine-tuning the structural parameters of the antenna to achieve the desired passband performance. Furthermore, virtually placing the antenna on a car model and analyzing its performance in a realistic scenario has enabled them to determine the antenna’s effectiveness in real-world applications.
