The array has a simplified and modular architecture, composed by few sub-array tiles shapes, reducing the array control points. By combining a pre-coding technique for the setting of the excitations weights with an exhaustive search of exact tiling solutions, the communication channel capacity is maximized. The presented preliminary result shows that the optimized irregular tiling layout allows to reach higher capacity values with respect to a regular tiling configuration.","PeriodicalId":6801,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (APS/URSI)","volume":"32 1","pages":"799-800"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87953697","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 paper uses the Matrix Pencil Method to restore super-resolution Time Delay Estimation (TDE) of signals in multi-path settings (MPM). To validate the proposed algorithm, errors were measured and compared to the traditional Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) and cross-correlation methods. TDE uses cross-correlation to develop calculations based on a single model called the optimal environment, but the accuracy of measurements continues to deteriorate as two or three signals are gradually entered at times shorter than the time period, necessitating super-resolution accurate time delay calculations such as MPM and MUSIC. Through correctly identifying and quantifying all components to their resolution limits and solving closely spaced frequencies, the proposed super-resolution MPM algorithm outperforms conventional approaches.","PeriodicalId":6801,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (APS/URSI)","volume":"16 1","pages":"1137-1138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88124693","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}

First, the classical static capacitance models (SCMs) are revisited. It is found that these models might have been abused, e.g., controversial models were applied in similar structures. Accordingly, the accuracy of these EDC methods is questionable though they are widely used. To solve this problem, numerical experiments are conducted for validation. Novel homogenization methods are then introduced based on the effective medium theory as improvements. All the above methods are compared through a set of DRA samples where the resonant mode and stacking order are taken into account. The practicability of each method is then discussed based on error analysis.

Since the electromagnetic waves whose polarization direction is parallel to the SSPP absorber can be absorbed, the in-band cross-polarization RCS and the cross-polarization level of the antenna array can be reduced. The antenna array works in the frequency band of 3.7-15.0 GHz.
