The antenna consists of a planar driven dipole and a planar parasitic dipole which are printed on the bottom and top surfaces of a substrate, respectively. For each dipole, meander lines are used for size reduction and transferring the RF power. Moreover, by loading these two dipoles with interdigital structures, the antenna impedance and the radiation directivity can be tuned. A slot-modified reflector is also applied for the purpose of unifying the current direction and improving the radiation directivity and efficiency. The measured -10dB bandwidth is from 508 to 521MHz and the simulated peak gain is 3.26dBi at 515MHz. A rectifier based on HSMS2862 diode is presented. The proposed antenna is employed by the rectifier the received dc voltage is up to 536 mV. The proposed antenna has advantages such as high efficiency, high directivity and electrically small structure, which is suitable for energy harvesting in TV broadcast bands.","PeriodicalId":6530,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics","volume":"1 1","pages":"118-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79542820","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 has been made possible because of steady increases in computing speeds - thanks to Moor's Law - and the advent of parallelization as well as development of iterative and domain decomposition techniques. The quest as well as progress toward the solution of very large and complex problems remain unabated - CEM problems involving \"billions and billions\" of unknowns are being routinely solved today - and this trend is likely to continue for a long time to come. The focus of this presentation is not on proposing yet another algorithm which would help us solve even larger problems than we can handle today, but on discussing alternate ways by which we can enhance the performance of microwave devices - such as imaging systems and lenses - by combining signal processing algorithms with CEM. The paper will discuss several examples of performance enhancement including sub-wavelength imaging of objects that are not located in the near fields of lenses, and improving the accuracy of direction finding antenna systems with size constraints that limit their limitation if conventional DF techniques are used. Our strategy is to first use available CEM techniques to solve the forward problems efficiently and then to use these solutions in Signal Processing algorithms for the purpose of performance enhancement of microwave devices of the type mentioned above.","PeriodicalId":6530,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Computational Electromagnetics","volume":"5 1","pages":"3-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78926197","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}
