In this paper, the authors have demonstrated that the quality factor of a ultra-low resonance generated in circular patch using metallic pin loading, can be lowered by a resistive loading. This results in very good impedance match over a wide frequency range. However the problem of significantly reduced radiation efficiency due to extremely small electrical length in the frequency of operation can be overcome by employing broadband monolithic amplifier modules. For the present case the antenna features and simulation study is presented.

We give experimental results showing the gain-bandwidth advantages of using non-Foster networks (i.e. containing negative inductors and capacitors) to impedance match an electrically-small antenna to a transmitter. Over a given bandwidth, non-Foster achieves up to 20 dB more transducer power gain than any passive design. The overall power efficiency advantage of non-Foster networks is limited by the required DC bias power. We demonstrate a class-B biasing strategy that, when fully developed, will make non-Foster transmit matching more efficient than any passive design. BACKGROUND

The quest for more efficient and accurate computational electromagnetics (CEM) techniques has been vital in the design of modern engineering. The most successful of all fast CEM algorithms is the Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) [1], which manages to reduce the computational effort by taking advantage the translational symmetries of the integral equation kernel. The main motivation of this paper lays in a simple yet crucial observation of most of realworld electromagnetic problems they all exhibit certain degrees of redundancies, locally and/or globally. Take for example a vehicle: its geometry is symmetric with respect to a mid-plane; for an antenna array or frequency selective surface the redundancies are more obvious since all elements are identical. The present paper proposes a novel approach for analyzing large finite periodic structures such as antenna arrays and electromagnetic band gap (EBG) ground planes.
在现代工程设计中,寻求更高效、更精确的计算电磁学(CEM)技术是至关重要的。在所有快速CEM算法中,最成功的是多层快速多极子方法(Multilevel fast Multipole Method, MLFMM)[1],它利用积分方程核的平移对称性减少了计算量。本文的主要动机在于对大多数现实世界的电磁问题进行简单而关键的观察,它们都表现出一定程度的局部和/或全局冗余。以一辆汽车为例:它的几何形状相对于中间平面是对称的;对于天线阵列或频率选择表面,由于所有元件都是相同的,因此冗余更为明显。本文提出了一种分析天线阵列和电磁带隙(EBG)接地面等大型有限周期结构的新方法。

Classical theory on fundamental gain bandwidth limitation for antennas constrained by their electrical size has been extensively examined, and is collectively referred to here as the Chu theory [1]. However, there are major shortcomings and ambiguities in the Chu theory when applied to real world problems, as pointed out recently by this author [2]. One problem is the case of an antenna on a platform, as depicted in Fig. 1, where the antenna is generally inseparable from the transceiver/platform. In fact, in some designs the main radiator is the platform or transceiver, not the antenna per se. Thus, the extent and size of the antenna become ambiguous. Also, the Chu theory is valid only for high Q (Quality factor). With the platform becoming part of it, the antennas effective size is increased and its Q can be lowered beyond the realm of the Chu theory.

A square patch antenna with truncated opposite corners is designed as Fig.3, which excites both the TM01 and TM10 orthogonal modes, can produce circularly polarized fields.

Dielectric rod antennas exhibit very high gain, possess narrow beamwidth, and belong to the group of surface wave antennas. They have been extensively used as the parabolic reflectors' feed in radars. They are rarely used as arrays, because of the complexity of the feed structure and lack of appropriate transition to the printed circuit. The scaling of microstrip microwave circuits to operate at millimeter and optical frequencies has led to the investigation of a new feed structure for DRA. This paper covers the design of a novel NRD feed structure for dielectric rod antennas, which is also compatible to planar structures.

Embedded wireless sensors are becoming crucial for many safety critical applications. Sensor batteries must be charged as needed to support high data rate communications. A miniature packaged circularly polarized rectenna is proposed. With the help of an integrated band-reject filter the proposed rectenna achieves a conversion efficiency of 74% and suppresses the second harmonic emission at 11 GHz by more than 50 dB.

Antennas that possess broadband characteristics, high radiation efficiency and low dimensions are important in practical applications, for example in mobile communication systems. Wide bandwidth is fundamental in antennas for transmitting broadband signals, in particular, video signals and signals with high transmition rate. In antenna theory, it is well known that small antennas possess narrow bandwidth and small radiation resistance, i.e. small radiation efficiency [1].
