More recently, the physical nature of the constitutive components was diversified to include anisotropic, magnetic, metallic, and nonlinear materials. Greater diversity of physical properties, along with more sophisticated space arrangement of the constituents, can result in qualitatively new features and novel phenomena, such as electromagnetic unidirectionality and the frozen mode regime. The resulting structures are referred to as magnetic photonic crystals (MPCs). This presentation provides analysis that demonstrates the benefits and potential applications of MPCs and degenerate bandgap structures (DBEs) from a numerical and experimental point of view. Three dimensional realizations of antennas and conformal arrays within MPCs are presented using frequency domain and time domain techniques, and preliminary experimental data are given for validation purposes","PeriodicalId":6423,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90055336","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 addition, because the RTSA is made of conductor, it doesn't need via-holes which are required to avoid the blind angles out of the operation frequency band. Theses blind angles come from the self resonance of the dielectric material of notch antenna. We developed wide band/wide scan PAA which has a bandwidth of 3:1 and scan volume of plusmn45deg. In order to determine the shape of the RTSA, the active VSWR (AVSWR) of the RTSA was optimized in the numerical waveguide simulator. And then using the E-plane/H-plane simulator, the AVSWR with beam scan angles in E-plane/H-plane are calculated respectively. On the basis of optimized design, numerical analysis of finite arrays was performed by commercial time domain solver. Through the simulation of 10 times 6 quad-element RTSA arrays, the AVSWR at the center element was computed and compared with the measured result. The active element pattern (AEP) of 10 times 6 quad-element RTSA arrays was also computed and had a good agreement with the measured AEP. From the result of the AEP, we can easily predict that 10 times 6 quad-element RTSA arrays have a good beam scanning capabilities","PeriodicalId":6423,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89170321","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}
