The DRA is excited by HEM 11 δ mode. The proposed SDS-DRA is designed by assembling the four frustums of conical DRAs with the base and apex of one on top of another. The measured operating frequency of SDS-DRA is from 3.5 GHz to 9.6 GHz (impedance bandwidth of 93.1 %). The SDS-DRA shows a peak gain of 9.7 dBi in the operational frequency range, with an average peak gain of 6.02 dBi. The antenna’s average radiation efficiency is found to be 84.6 %. The proposed SDS-DRA produces omnidirectional-like radiation patterns with significantly low cross-polarization in the broadside direction. The size ( l × w × h ) of the proposed SDS-DRA is 1.55 λ g × 1.55 λ g × 0.67 λ g where, λ g is the guided wavelength in mm at 3.5 GHz for effective permittivity ( ϵ eff ), 7.1. To validate the simulation results, the proposed antenna structure is built, and its performance is measured. The findings of simulation and measurement results are found to be quite congruent.","PeriodicalId":55143,"journal":{"name":"Frequenz","volume":"9 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135862957","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 consists in a CSRR-loaded two ports rectangular patch microstrip-fed grounded planar structure. The investigated liquid sample is put in a capillary glass tube lying parallel to the surface of the sensor. The liquid test tube is deposited horizontally parallel to the surface of the planar sensor. The advantage of the design lies on the fact that it allows different orientations and multiple size possibilities of the test tube. This makes it possible to explore different resonant frequencies in the 2.1 GHz frequency band. Moreover, an optimization study is carried out to achieve a high sensitivity and a high-quality factor of the proposed sensor. To better understand the operation and to further verify the feasibility of the equivalent circuit, a parallel RLC resonant circuit is used to obtain the desired Z parameter responses Z 11 , Z 22 , Z 21 . A T-shaped electrical model of the proposed sensing structure is established using Advanced Design System (ADS) software.

A phase-shifting surface is proposed as the transmission unit cell capable of transmitting incident waves while providing adequate transmission phase shift. The designed transmission unit cell is improved into the transmit-reflect unit cell by adding polarization grids to realize the reflection function. The bottom transmitarray is constructed by transmission unit cells. The top transmit-reflect-array is composed of transmit-reflect unit cells and polarization grids vertical to the unit cell. The x-polarized wave transmits through the top transmit-reflect-array and forms a pencil beam in the forward direction. In addition, the y-polarized wave is reflected by the top transmit-reflect-array and transmits through the bottom transmitarray to form a pencil beam in the backward direction. The tested realized gains of the transmitted beam and reflected beam at 10 GHz are 19.87 dBi with an aperture efficiency of 48.27 % and 23.95 dBi with an aperture efficiency of 30.88 %, respectively.

The presented antenna is comprised of two similar slotted circular radiators, having tapered microstrip feedlines and separate partial ground planes. An RT/Duroid 5880 substrate with size 54 × 54 mm2 is used for the design purpose. Rotational symmetry between the radiators and diagonally oriented t-shaped decoupling structure behind the substrate have been utilized for high isolation purpose. The designed MIMO antenna exhibits UWB performance in mode 1. In other mode, the antenna operates in the frequency range 2.46–10.44 GHz with Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) band rejection. Thus, the MIMO antenna exhibits on-demand single band rejection behavior depending on the switching conditions of the diodes. The measured isolation is greater than −20 dB in both the modes. The presented MIMO configuration possesses compact and planar geometry with high gain, good isolation, ultrawideband performance with reconfigurable band elimination, high efficiency and efficient diversity performance parameters.

The RDMs are mounted on FR4 substrate (εr = 4.4, tanδ = 0.02) with defected ground structure (DGS). The DGS are comprised of rectangular and circular ring slots on it. These compact DGS-RDRAs provides enhanced BW. Prototypes of the two suggested RDRAs are fabricated. The fabricated RDRAs are validated by experimental set-ups. The RDRA with rectangular-ring slot DGS provides impedance BW (S11 < −10 dB) of 33.97 % (8.6658–12.071 GHz). The impedance BW of the other RDRA is 27.97 % (9.08–11.869 GHz). The rectangular-ring slotted RDRA offers radiation efficiency and peak realized gain of 86.4 % and 6.27 dBi, respectively within the band of operating frequencies. The radiation efficiency and realised gain of circular-ring slotted RDRA are 86.18 % and 5.9 dBi, respectively. Good agreements are achieved in between the simulated results and measured results. The results are compared with some recently developed antennas available in literature. The comparison shows that the proposed RDRAs can be suitable candidate for various X-band applications such as satellite downlinks, synthetic aperture radar, weather monitoring by military and some government organizations.","PeriodicalId":55143,"journal":{"name":"Frequenz","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42508711","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}

A thorough investigation of mmWave/sub-terahertz communication link is required in order to successfully deploy these frequency bands in 5G and B5G mobile networks. This paper investigates the effect of atmospheric conditions like dry air, humidity, rain, snow, fog and foliage on the performance of the mmWave/sub-terahertz link.
