The antenna is mainly made of metal so it could survive the harsh environment conditions of Europa (i.e. very low temperature and high radiation and ESD levels). The antenna is flat to meet drastic volume constraints and has efficiencies higher than 80% at both the uplink and downlink X-band Deep Space frequency bands. This antenna is a key component for the potential mission enabling Direct Link to Earth (DTE) without any relying on an Orbiter to relay the data.","PeriodicalId":6612,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82081628","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}

The RMS error of the calculation results of our propagation loss estimation formula and the measured value improved by about 1 dB on average compared with the free space loss and the RMS error of the measured value. The propagation loss estimation formula we propose can estimate propagation loss characteristics with high accuracy even indoors.","PeriodicalId":6612,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74557420","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}

The measurements are performed with a UWB sub-mmWave channel sounder and classified in general characterisation, top-of-rack and intra-rack measurements. The individual measurement setups as well as the methodology are explained. In a first step, the measurements are evaluated regarding the path attenuation, the power delay profile (PDP) and the power angular spectrum (PAS). The PDP as well as the PAS give comprehensible results, which are explained by the scenario’s geometry. The path attenuation shows reasonable results compared to the free space path loss and demonstrates that wireless communication at 300 GHz in a Data Centre is possible.","PeriodicalId":6612,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73025858","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}

Antenna is circular to avoid sharp edges while miniaturization is achieved by adding two circular slots to the patch. Main scenario includes embedding into the muscle layer of a cylindrical three-layer model of a human arm for which several parameters are analyzed (resonance, radiation pattern and Special Absorption rate (SAR)). Power transmission efficiency and interaction distance limits to ensure connection are also evaluated.","PeriodicalId":6612,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85328460","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 this paper a near-field to far-field transformation technique based on multiple spherical wave expansions is presented. Thanks to its iterative matrix inversion nature, the approach performs the transformation of fields measured on arbitrary surfaces. Also, irregular sampling schemes can be incorporated. The proposed algorithm is based on modelling the antenna fields with not one, but several spherical wave expansions distributed over its geometry. Due to the high number of spherical wave expansions, their truncation number can be arbitrarily reduced. Working with expansions of low order allows to incorporate the probe correction in the transformation in a very simple way, accepting any type of probe and orientation. Only the probe far-field pattern is used, thus working with its full spherical wave expansion is avoided. The algorithm is validated using simulated field data as well as measurements of real antennas.","PeriodicalId":6612,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"44 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81552115","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}
