In this paper, a novel graphene-based leaky-wave antenna is presented. The frequency of the proposed antenna is in the terahertz range, and it is composed of a straight long slot covered with a graphene sheet. To tune the leakage constant along the slot, DC voltage biases are applied using gating pads. A transverse equivalent network model that includes the graphene slot structure is also presented. A design procedure for a lossy structure leaky-wave antenna with an unknown loss value is proposed. The antenna is designed and simulated in HFSS and CST software. An interesting feature of this antenna is the ability to control its radiation characteristics across its entire working frequency range through graphene conductivity tunability with DC voltage bias.

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of a novel transparent patch antenna using saltwater with high-opticaltransparency applications for wireless local area networks (WLANs) at 2.4–2.5 GHz. The most important reason for using saltwater for transparent antenna applications is its superior average optical transparency (OTav >90%) compared to other typical transparent electrodes, such as indium tin oxide (ITO; OTav >80%) or metal-mesh film (MMF; OTav >60%). This study designs three types of antennas: an antenna with a conductive part made of copper sheet (CS) for both the radiator and ground plane (case 1) to compare the performance with two types of proposed transparent antennas that use saltwater as the conductive parts; an antenna with saltwater for the radiator and MMF for the ground plane (case 2); and an antenna with saltwater for both the radiator and ground plane (case 3). The case 1, case 2, and case 3 antennas have peak gains of 6.87, 4.4, and 1.91 dB, respectively, and have corresponding radiation efficiencies of 93.5%, 62%, and 34%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a transparent patch antenna using saltwater.

The scattering parameters of a material under test (MUT) are prerequisites for characterizing the material parameters of the MUT. This paper describes a free-space two-tier one-port calibration method using a planar offset short as a free-space calculable reflect standard for measuring the scattering parameters of an MUT from the two successive one-port calibrations of a free-space material measurement system without a precise positioning system in free space. The two-tier one-port calibration method is validated by comparing the measurement results with those of the thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration method for two reciprocal MUTs (glass plates of 2.780 mm and 4.775 mm thickness) in the W-band (75–110 GHz). Good agreement between the measurement results from the two calibration methods demonstrates that the free-space two-tier one-port calibration method using a planar offset short can be a feasible and effective alternative to the conventional free-space two-port calibration methods.

The conventional series-fed endfire dipole antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth and is inexpensive to manufacture. However, it has a disadvantage: its size is large because of the large inter-dipole spacing, which is required to satisfy the endfire condition for good antenna radiation characteristics. Here, we propose a two-dipole endfire antenna with a reduced size. The miniaturized endfire antenna was designed using a meander line to reduce the interdipole spacing while ensuring that the endfire condition was satisfied. Furthermore, the overall width of the antenna was reduced using a bent dipole and a corrugated ground plane. The electrical size of the proposed antenna was only 0.33

In this paper, a novel helical antenna for high-power microwave is proposed. The proposed antenna is intended to demonstrate improved power handling capacity without any deterioration in matching characteristics, gain, and axial ratio. The proposed antenna with a long helix structure is investigated in order to achieve high gain and a relatively wide impedance bandwidth. By increasing the distance between the helix and the ground plane, an improved power handling capacity is obtained, and the impedance matching problem caused by the proposed method is addressed with the use of a feed-through insulator. In addition, a conical-shaped ground is used to compensate for the gain reduction by increasing the distance between the helix and the ground plane. As a result, the proposed antenna exhibits a gain exceeding 11 dBi and an axial ratio of less than 2 dB within the frequency range of 0.86–1.09 GHz. In addition, its power handling capacity exceeds 50 MW for a 0.7-ns input pulse length in air conditions.

We propose an Omega-K algorithm that uses plane wave approximation for image formation in forward-looking imaging radar (FIRA) with the multi-input/double-output configuration. We assume that each of the transmitting antennas is located at the center of the receiving antenna array by applying a virtual antenna array. Then, we solve numerical equations in an approximation of the plane wave with the direction normal to the antenna array. Finally, we can obtain an image by proceeding with the following steps in order: the matched filtering, Stolt interpolation, two-dimensional inverse fast Fourier transform, phase compensation, image registration, and image merging. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through a simulation and a real experiment with neighboring targets. The results show that the proposed Omega-K algorithm with plane wave approximation can be successfully applied to FIRA systems with bistatic synthetic aperture radar configuration.

Material characterization requires the proper calibration of a material measurement system. This paper describes a free-space unknown thru measurement method using three independent planar metal offset shorts for calibrating a free-space material measurement system. This method is validated by comparing the measurement results with those of the TRL (thru-reflect-line) measurement method for two glass plates of 2.780 mm and 4.775 mm thickness in W-band (75–110 GHz). This can be an affordable and effective alternative to conventional free-space material measurement methods because the precision fabrication of a planar offset short is more feasible and inexpensive than building a precise positioning system in a free-space material measurement system. One can use this measurement method up to a high-frequency range that the fabrication accuracy of a planar offset short is acceptable.

This research proposes a numerical model for a tablet in the wireless local area network band for specific absorption rate (SAR) study. The design criteria, such as the tablet size, operating frequencies, antenna position, and target 1-g peak spatial-average SAR (psSAR) values in the flat phantom, are determined based on the SAR test reports of tablets distributed in South Korea from 2013 to 2017. An internal antenna is designed in a tablet platform to operate in dual bands of 2,450 MHz and 5,500 MHz. The numerical results illustrate that the 1-g psSAR values of the proposed numerical tablet model are within ±10% of the target values. Moreover, the return loss of the designed tablet model is larger than 10 dB, regardless of flat phantom, while its radiation efficiency is higher than 90% in free space.

Measurements acquired through ground-penetrating radar (GPR) may contain missing information that needs to be recovered before the implementation of any post-processing method, such as target detection, since buried target detection methods fail and cannot produce desired results if the input GPR image contains missing information. This study proves that the recovery of missing information in a GPR image has a direct influence on the performance of subsequent target detection methods. Thus, state-of-the-art matrix completion methods are applied to the GPR image with missing information in both pixel- and column-wise cases with different missing rates, such as 30% and 50%. After the GPR image is successfully recovered, the faster region-based convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN) target detection method is applied. The performance correlation between matrix completion accuracy and the target detection method’s confidence score is analyzed using both quantitative and visual results. The obtained results demonstrate the importance of GPR image recovery prior to any post-processing implementation, such as target detection.

In this paper, a dual-band multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication terminals. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidths of 380 MHz (3.34–3.72 GHz) and 560 MHz (4.57–5.13 GHz) can cover the 3.4–3.6 GHz and 4.8–5 GHz 5G bands. The single antenna element of this proposed MIMO is composed of an F-shaped feed strip and an inverted L-shaped radiation strip. A defected ground structure is employed to obtain a good isolation performance, whereby the measured isolation between the antenna elements is observed to be larger than 23 dB. The measured total radiation efficiencies at 3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz are 76.65% and 71.93%, respectively. Besides, the calculated envelope correlation coefficients (ECC) are less than 0.00125 and 0.01164 at the low-frequency and high-frequency bands, respectively. Furthermore, the specific absorption ratio (SAR) analysis of the antenna verifies that it qualifies for 5G terminals.
