In this paper, the composite medium containing sparsely and randomly distributed aggregate spheres is considered. The effective propagation constants of the medium for the left- and right-handed polarization is evaluated by solving the multiple scattering equation using EFA. The T-matrix of the aggregate sphere is obtained by the recursive algorithm. Numerical results show that when the aggregate sphere consists of chiral or dielectric spheres whose size are much smaller than the wavelength, the characteristics of the aggregate sphere depend mainly on the properties of a scatterer of the largest size.

This paper presents an extension of the free-space method for measurement of bi-axial anisotropic material at microwave frequencies. In this method, four complex transverse constitutive parameters are directly computed from the reflection and transmission coefficients of a planar sample in free space for a normally incident plane wave with two polarizations. By using the measured amplitudes of the reflection and transmission coefficients of a planar sample at six incident angles with two polarizations, two complex longitudinal constitutive parameters are obtained by finding the solution to minimize the properly designed objective function under the suitable judging criterion. The numerical trials are carried out for a high-loss material by joining random errors to simulate the real measurement condition, which verifies the validity of this method.

Smart antenna sizes are too large to be implemented in indoor environments. Spatial diversity is too complicated to perform a fast deployment. An alternative design for such application is proposed, trying to obtain the benefits of spatial diversity but using only one compact antenna. The presented design is based on patch antennas, and fits the requirements for DCS-UMTS applications.

In terms of genetic algorithm (GA) and a parameter tracking scheme (PTS), the propagating constants of a waveguide filled with dissipative magnetic substances are accurately calculated and thoroughly analyzed. The practical results show the method is efficient and accurate. Moreover, it is found during the calculating that under certain conditions, the phase constant may be negative, which revealed that the wave propagating inside this waveguide possess the characteristic of that of the left-handed wave (LHW). It is of significance that the LHW may present in nature materials.

This paper addresses the frequency dependence of tropospheric scintillation by comparing the scintillation of both frequencies at the seven sites. Theoretically, tropospheric scintillation increases as the frequency increases with respect to a power function, f. The goal of this paper is to determine values for a, and study site, climate and elevation angle, dependence of a, with respect to rain and clear-sky conditions.

A loop antenna printed on a dielectric substrate backed by a conducting plane, where the conducting plane and substrate are of finite extent is analyzed in this paper. The loop antenna has a printed sleeve of width w/sub slv/ and is excited through an electromagnetically coupled strip line. The radiation characteristics, taking into account the finite sizes of the substrate and the reflector also is studied in this paper. The author used finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with Liao's second order absorbing boundary condition for the analysis of the strip loop antenna.

The effects of multiple paths and channel capacity are concerned in the communication system. The SAS (smart antenna system) can solve these problems. The SAS can be separated by adaptive antenna array and MBA (multiple beams antenna array). In this paper, the MBA is discussed. There are different types of SAS that are developed in Taiwan for the applications of cellular phone system in GSM, WCDMA, and WLAN (wireless local access network). Key components such as wideband RP radiators and different kinds of RF BFN are developed for SAS. Several types of SAS with multiple beams and narrower beamwidth are developing and testing at Da Yeh University. The test results are quite agreed with that of simulation.

Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RTA) is becoming one of the treatment for small but inoperable tumors of the liver. In this paper, we designed the applicator composed of coaxial cable antenna with a ring slot for RTA. To optimize the maximum output of radiation at 2450 MHz, we simulated the antenna using electromagnetic simulation tools Maxwell program and analyzed the return loss and the electric field E/sub tot/ at the near-field region between the simulation results and the experiment results. As a result, we could obtain the return loss of 29.786 dB at 2450 MHz only when the antenna is placed between two liver blocks of a pig, and the measurement results agreed with the simulation results well. Therefore, this coaxial cable antenna with a ring slot can be used very usefully as the applicator for RTA.
