This paper presents a method to measure the radar cross section of a disk (with known radius) at normal and oblique incidence in the Fresnel region and real environment. The proposed method relies both on the physical optics approach and averaging the field distribution over the transmitting and receiving antenna apertures. The ratio between the analytical expression of the radar cross section at far-field and Fresnel region results in a transformation factor between both field zones. The RCS obtained through scattering parameters measured at Fresnel region distances is corrected with the analytical transformation factor previously determined. The measurements are in a good agreement with simulations and theoretical far field radar cross section at normal and oblique incidence.

A design of printed IFA (Inverted-F Antenna) for WLAN/5G C-band application is proposed. The antenna is printed on the two sides of the FR4 substrate, and the antenna parts on the two sides are connected by via. The antenna consists of 3-arms on the front and back sides of the substrate. The 3-arms of IFA can resonate some modes to match the required bands for applications. From the results of the antenna, it can be applied to the operating bands covering WLAN 2.4GHz/ 5.2GHz/ 5.8GHz bands and 5G C-Band (3.4–3.6 GHz) applications.

The standard method for assessing the specific absorption rate of a mobile device involves scanning an electric field probe in a tissue equivalent liquid. The electric field probe is also calibrated in the liquid. Uncertainty of permittivity measurement of the liquid accounts for a large proportion of uncertainty of the specific absorption rate measurement and related probe calibration. The permittivity measurement of the liquid generally employs a coaxial probe method, but its uncertainty tends to be somewhat large because of its reflection measurement. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the complex permittivity of the liquid from the attenuation and phase constants of the liquid surrounded by the waveguide well and moving the small dipole antenna in it, and show an example of actual measurement.

Radar can be used for concrete inspection application to prevent structural failures. One of its components is the antenna. In this paper, a design of 1×4 microstrip array antenna integrated with unequal Wilkinson power divider using Dolph-Chebysev method on Epoxy FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.3 was developed. Antenna is designed and simulated using CST software. The working frequency is in the ISM Band of 2.4–2.5 GHz with return loss −10 dB. The simulation results show that the array antenna operates at frequency 2.34–2.58 GHz or bandwidth of 243.6 MHz. In addition, the antenna has a gain of 4.39 dB, horizontal beamwidth of 27.8°, vertical beamwidth of 130.8°, front-to-back ratio of −21.87 dB, and sidelobe level of −13.2 dB. The measurement results show that the array antenna operates at frequency 2.35–2.59 GHz or bandwidth of 233 MHz. Moreover, the antenna has gain of 5.12 dB, horizontal beamwidth of 26°, vertical beamwidth 70°, front-to-back ratio of −20.22 dB, and sidelobe level of −17.45 dB.

This work presents the design of a compact meander-based antenna for search and rescue application. The proposed antenna is designed on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate, which is robust, flexible, waterproof and suitable for use in harsh environments. Due to the need for operation at a relatively low frequency of 406 MHz, antennas for the search and rescue application require an extended electrical length, thus typically resulting in large sizes. This is alleviated by implementing the meander-based structure on the antenna to ensure size compactness. Besides that, to minimize the effects of the human body when worn, the antenna is integrated with a full ground plane on its reverse side to shield the body from electromagnetic coupling. Results indicated that the antenna operated with a center frequency of 406 MHz and bandwidth of 30.88 MHz (7.61 %). A unidirectional radiation is produced and the final size is 190 × 60 × 5 mm (0.257 × 0.081 × 0.0068) λo.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has three main components, namely the main magnet, gradient coil, and RF coil. RF coils play an important role as recipients of RF signals from the emission of magnetic resonance and RF excitation into atomic nuclei of the human body. In this paper, we propose a design of dual resonant microstrip RF coil that operates at 1.5 T and 3 T MRI. The proposed coil is simple structure for surface RF coil and capable of working at frequencies of 63.8 MHz and 127.6 MHz. The simulation results show that the reflection coefficient (S11) is less than −10 dB either without or with the human phantom model at both operating frequencies. As for magnetic field distribution, the field is more homogeneous at the lower operating frequency compared to the higher one. The computed peak specific absorption rate (SAR) is obtained by about 0.56 W/kg and 0.91 W/kg at 63.8 MHz and 127.6 MHz, respectively.

An 868MHz-915MHz 16-elements helical wire antenna array design with a solar-cell integration is presented. Each element is designed to be omni-directional with the corresponding tuning stubs and ground substrate. This is shared with distributed solar cell array, powering 16- Internet of Things (IoT) transceivers operating at multiple Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. 370mm×400mm design including the antennas, solar cells, and the tuning stubs can generate 8-watts solar power under direct sun, charging Lithium batteries. 1.6-mm thick planner design with horizontal radiation pattern resulted in average −15dB return loss at 868-MHz without using any external matching elements.

A UWB bow-tie antenna, designed to work in the VHF -UHF band, is realized by a novel implementation of tapered inductive loading. The antenna with the proposed loading profile has been manufactured as a printed antenna on an FR4 material. It exhibits a fractional bandwidth of over 90% with dimensions of only 20×20 cm for a center frequency of 450 MHz. Despite its relatively small size, the proposed antenna works with very high efficiency, as the proposed loading scheme introduces no ohmic loss. In principle, it can be applied to other frequency bands as well, by scaling the antenna dimensions up or down according to the desired center frequency. Additionally, resistive loading such as microwave absorbers can be added when a larger bandwidth is needed.

This paper analyses the performances of a Direction of Arrival (DoA) localization algorithm based on the use of phaseless magnitude data coming from a Time of Arrival (ToA) estimation. The localization system architecture key component consists of a broadband switched beams antenna (SBA) connected to a corresponding broadband radio front-end. The receiver collects sample data being synchronized with the antenna beam, while both ToA and DoA estimations rely only on scalar data. Differently from the available literature, the proposed system doesn't locate the DoA by implementing the Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) paradigm, but instead this is made possible by using the phaseless data of the impinging signal power, exploiting the signal magnitude gradient between SBA elements, a byproduct of the ToA estimation. Experimental results demonstrate how different algorithms lead to an angular precision with a mean error inferior to 3°.
