To realize efficient solution of complicated multi-scale conducting objects, non-conformal, non-overlapped integral equation based domain decomposition method (IE-DDM) is developed. Based on Robin transmission condition, the normal continuity of surface currents on non-conformal touching faces is maintained. Different fast solvers like multilevel fast multipole algorithm, adaptive cross approximation can be used for different sub-domains. The flexibility of the present method enables us efficient analysis of electromagnetic scattering from 3D multi-scale objects. Some examples are shown in order to demonstrate the ability of the IE-DDM.

A novel design method of wideband antennas with stable beamwidth is presented. In this design, the stable radiation pattern is achieved through two parallel dipoles over a big reflector, and wideband impedance match is reached by loading stubs to dipoles to close the first two resonant modes of the dipoles. A simple antenna for LTE base-station is designed in this method, fabricated and measured. Measurement results have a good agreement to simulation ones.

A new 60-GHz dense dielectric (DD) patch antenna composed of a aperture coupled rectangular DD patch antenna and two annular reflectors is proposed. The antenna is totally designed onto printed circuit board (PCB) substrates, which is low-cost and easy to fabricate. A wide impedance bandwidth of wider than 30.8% for |S11| <; -10 dB from 50 to 68.2 GHz is achieved. Stable radiation patterns with low cross polarization and an average gain of 11.5 dBi are also achieved over the 3-dB gain bandwidth of 17.57% from 56.26 to 67.1 GHz. Besides, an estimated efficiency of 87% is found. With the advantages of simple structure, easy fabrication, and good radiation performance, the proposed antenna can be applied to low-cost 60-GHz wireless communication systems.

Ground antenna concept and its promising applications for handheld communication devices such as the smartphones and tablet computers will be presented. The ground antennas are formed by adding very-small-size radiating elements to combine with the device ground plane to achieve an efficient radiator for multiband/wideband operations. Recent advances in the ground antenna design are addressed. The reconfigurable and tunable ground antennas that can be adaptive to environmental changes or tunable to cover different bands will be discussed. The ground antennas are especially suitable for applications in the 4G slim handheld devices, especially for flexible or bendable devices. The ground antennas are also very promising to form high-isolation antenna systems for MIMO and diversity operations in the slim handheld devices.

A dual-loop antenna is proposed to enlarge the interrogation zone of reader antennas used in near-field ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The dual-loop antenna is composed of two segmented loos with one common side and a double-sided parallel-strip line feeding network. Each loop has a uniform and single direction flowing current itself. By providing reverse-direction flowing current to the two segmented loops, the strong and uniform magnetic field distribution over a large interrogation zone can be achieved. The prototype on FR4 printed borad (PCB) exhibits that the dual-loop antenna achieves the impedance matching over the frequency range from 790 to 1040 MHz and produces strong and uniform magnetic field distribution over an interrogation zone of 308 mm × 150 mm.

Artificial magnetic conductor structures (AMCs) is an effective approach to significantly improve the bandwidth and radiation gain of low-profile antennas. Comparing with other techniques, it needs no extra fabricated processes and takes the merit of easy integration. Three examples of AMC structure-based patch antennas are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. As a result, the 2×2 edge-fed patch antenna array using AMCs can achieve over 4 times bandwidth enhancement and about 3dB peak gain improvement than cavity backed antenna. Comparing with the conventional square AMCs, the patch antenna using the AMCs with inserted-stubs can achieve wider bandwidth and higher and more stable gain. Although low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) substrate has a high permittivity, the relative bandwidth of the mmW LTCC antenna array using AMCs can reach 13.7%, which is about 5 times wider than that of ordinary antenna; meanwhile the peak gain can reach 13.3dBi, the stable gain (±1dB) and radiation pattern in the whole band of interest can be observed also.

The compact differential hollow dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with an embedded vertical feed is investigated. A printed 180° hybrid rat-race is deployed as the feed network. The vertical feed network has a very small footprint, giving more space for placing microwave components. For demonstration, a hollow cylindrical differential DRA was designed at ~2.4 GHz for WLAN applications. The reflection coefficient, antenna gain, and radiation pattern were simulated using ANSYS HFSS. The simulated results were verified by measurements, and reasonable agreement between the measurement and simulation is observed.
