In this paper, A Metamaterial bowtie antenna, oper-ating at 28 GHz, is designed based on the theory of Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA). We use the theory of characteristic modes to investigate the bowtie antenna's behavior, and to properly place the MTM unit cells to improve the bandwidth and the gain. According to the simulation results, the gain varies from 6.12 dB to 8.74 dB and the bandwidth increases from 11.28% to 20.75%. This design is suitable for millimeter-wave 5G applications.

Structurally novel ‘Hexagram’ shaped microstrip loop antenna variants are reported here which provide multiple bands in the useful frequencies ranging from S to K-band. This design yielded at least six resonances with 51% bandwidth at C, X & Ku and 18.4% at K band. Reactive loading of the patches provided better impedance matching with respect to $50Omega$ coaxial input, over X to K band. The proposed antenna exhibits compactness as compared to the conventional ones due to its efficient space-filling nature supporting loop current paths in a short physical length. Here the basic geometry is a structure, which is the initiator of the multi-loop current path generation. Several higher order modes were excited in the antennas due to the uniqueness of the geometrical structure leading to multimodal loop currents. Concepts of characteristic mode theory were utilized to get an insight into the current modes generated on the structure due to the premeditated placement of the feed point. It is to be noted that the intuitive choice of feed location has matched with characteristic mode analysis for determining the resonant frequencies. The above has been further determined with CST microwave studio simulation. A comparative study of reported multiband antennas shows that the antenna presented here is showing significant betterment.

This work presents the development of two 2-FET stacked cells at 26 GHz in the WIN Semiconductors 150 nm power GaN/SiC technology. Two different compact layouts, based on the same circuit scheme, are designed targeting similar performance in the FR2 5G frequency band. One version favoring distance between components, to relieve electromagnetic cross-talk, and the other favoring instead symmetry. The cells have been conceived as basic building blocks for the development of high-power 5G amplifiers, rather than as stand-alone amplifiers, hence including only input matching and stabilization networks. Based on large-signal simulations on the optimum load, the cells are expected to deliver around 34 dBm with an efficiency higher than 35% at 26 GHz, and a linear gain of 10 dB. The output power performance is maintained from 24.5 GHz to 27.5 GHz, where the saturated efficiency is above 30 % for both cells. The small-signal experimental characterization results are in very good agreement with the simulations, proving the effectiveness of the electromagnetic simulation setup adopted for all the passive structures, despite the challenges posed by the compact layouts.

According to the “Smart Electromagnetic Environment” (SEME) paradigm, the propagation scenario will become a key actor in the design of future wireless systems. As a matter of fact, the exploitation and arbitrary manipulation of the complex electromagnetic (EM) phenomena arising in multi-path and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments will represent a fundamental asset to fulfill the ever-growing needs and requirements of the forthcoming communications standards. An overview of some of the most promising SEME-enabling technologies is given, along with a discussion of the current and future trends within such an emerging framework.

In this paper, a new on-chip rat-race coupler, based on slow-wave coplanar stripline transmission lines, is proposed for 120 GHz applications. High quality factor transmission lines were employed. A parametric analysis targeting the geometrical variables of slow-wave is presented. A 19.6% area reduction for the core of the coupler is achieved thanks to slow-wave technique manifested in conductive ribbons placed under transmission lines. Simulation results show that isolation and reflection coefficients are preserved under 15 dB. Insertion loss value is 4.3 dB for the SW-CPS version at 120 GHz. Maximum amplitude imbalance is 0.6 dB reported at 140 GHz. While, phase imbalance difference for the proposed structure doesn't exceed 2.5° for the whole bandwidth of interest.

An aperture coupled magneto-electric (ME) dipole for 5G Backhauling systems is proposed in this article. A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is used to feed the antenna. The electric dipole is formed by four identical patches, while the magnetic dipole is composed by four vertical metallic shorted vias. Moreover, a crossed strip is introduced to connect the four patches in the top metal layer to widen the impedance bandwidth and a cage of vias is added to suppress the generation of surface waves and to boost the radiating element gain. The simulated impedance bandwidth with $vert S_{11}vert$ < −10 dB for the proposed SIW-fed aperture coupled ME-dipole antenna fully covers the E-Band (71–86 GHz), with a fractional bandwidth of more than 20%. The simulated antenna peak gain is 10.8 dBi at 84 GHz and the 3-dB beamwidth is stable with a variation up to 1 dBi within the band of interest. The proposed E-band ME dipole antenna is very suitable for 5G backhauling systems, as it can be integrated into an array configuration for realizing beam-steering operations.

BACKGROUND: RFID or Radio Frequency Identification is a technology for identifying objects or people. It is based on the use of radio waves to remotely read the data written on RFID transponder, commonly called an RFID tag. This technology has become one of the most promising research areas and has attracted growing interest, hence the need for a scoping review of this research field. OBJECTIVE: We intend to carry out a systematic map as part of a scoping review to clarify and show the current state of existing studies in the RFID area. METHOD: We followed the scoping review process defined by Petersen et al. [1] [2], based on a well-established research methodology from the medical and software engineering scientific communities. 219 primary studies were selected rigorously, subsequently a classification framework was applied to extract key information for further analysis. We synthesized the resulting data and produced a clear state-of-the-art. RESULTS: We outline the process of a Scoping Review applied to the field of RFID technology from a software engineering perspective. On this basis, this work contributes with (1) a general framework for classifying information on published studies in this disciplinary field, (2) a presentation of current research in the RFID field in a systematic map form, (3) a discussion of emerging results and their implications for future research. CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review provides an overview of the RFID field and, more importantly, identifies research gaps and future research directions for researchers, practitioners interested in RFID technology, reviewers and universities, and journal editors. One of the findings is that, although there is a lot of research being conducted in this area, a limited amount of work is focused on the problem of RFID data acquisition and processing, or in other words, on the “middleware” component of RFID systems.

In this work, we present a UHF-RFID-based noninvasive sensor to measure the concentration of ethanol in water using the volume fraction of liquids in mixture solutions. The sensing system operates at the UHF band (860–928 MHz). The concentration of ethanol in water affects the dielectric properties of the solution and therefore the antenna sensitivity of the RFID tag. This sensor operates by measuring the change in permittivity of a solution because of the change in concentration of ethanol in water. We propose a flexible RFID-Tag sensor a low-cost alternative to identify the possible sensitivity of tag changes and is able to detect a variation of 25% in ethanol in 9 ml of deionized water (DI-Water). The solution is useful in avoiding counterfeit ethanol solutions that may be toxic. The experimental setup is inexpensive, portable, quick, and contactless. We present results for ethanol solutions ranging from 25% to 100% in a small tube container.
