This paper describes the design and realization of a dual-band shared-aperture antenna array based on the concept of structure reuse. The antenna consists of a 4×2 K-band dipole array and a 4×4 Ka-band waveguide array constructed by the 4×2 K-band antenna structure and supporting plates. Both feeding networks of these two arrays are integrated together through the printed circuit boards (PCB) fabrication process. To increase the aperture efficiency, the K-band antenna is employed as the wall of the Ka-band radiating waveguide. Thanks to this topology, different antennas have high isolation with low mutual coupling between them. The isolation between two ports is better than 38 dB and 90 dB in Ka-band and K-band respectively. The experimental results have verified the proposed scheme and the design process.

This paper presents the design of 1-bit low scattering reflective surface that can efficiently manipulate the shape and level of the backscattered RCS far-field pattern of a metal object at millimeter wave. The proposed 1-bit surface is designed based on reflection phase cancellation principle where the proposed unit cell of a modified Venus-like shape metallic resonator (as “0” element) and its mirrored-unit cell (as “1” element) are randomly distributed across the surface aperture to realize the required phase difference. The proposed surface can scatter (diffuse) the incident EM-wave into several low level lobes in many directions in the half space in front of the surface, and as a result, dramatically reduce the backscattering and RCS. The proposed surface has good backscattering characteristics under both normal and oblique incidence of EM-waves.

A novel broadband concave paper antenna is proposed for low cost and conformal applications. The new design is a three-dimensional monopole antenna. Owing to the concave flexible paper substrate, the proposed antenna is easy to integrate with the packing case or the communication product. The broadband antenna can be used in the applications covering the 0.903–2.63 GHz band, such as 2G, 3G, and WLAN. Its gain is 3.8 dBi at 0.915 GHz, 3.5 dBi at 1.0 GHz, 2.8 dBi at 1.8 GHz, and 4.8 dBi at 2.45 GHz. Experiments validate the simulated results of our antenna.

This paper proposed a novel 100% bandwidth end-fire log-periodic monopole antenna array that can cover the wide bandwidth from 6GHz to 18GHz. The proposed log-periodic monopole antenna array removed the complicated feeding network in the design of the conventional log-periodic monopole antenna array, and corrected the errors discussion in design of the log-periodic monopole antenna array that is not formed the cross-inverting feeding on the ground plane. The proposed log-periodic monopole antenna uses the slot line as feed circuit to achieve the cross feed on the ground plane while keeping the symmetry of the antenna structure. The proposed antenna can keep good end-fire radiation over the whole operational frequency (6GHz-18GHz). The proposed log-periodic monopole antenna array has a compact size(45mm× 30mm × 12mm).

In this paper, an ultra-wideband parallel negative feedback low noise amplifier (LNA) is designed and implemented. Based on the parallel negative feedback topology, an extraordinary high gain and a low noise figure (NF) can be achieved in the LNA operating from 2GHz to 8 GHz after the input and output impedance matching. Simulation and experimental results show that the LNA has a good performance. Measured results show that the LNA can give over 34-dB gain, less than 3.47-dB NF and 4.39-dB in-band gain flatness from 2 GHz to 8 GHz. It also provides less than −11-dB S11/S22 and over 5-dBm P1dB performance in the work band.

A modified leaky-wave antenna based on periodic patch is presented in this paper. A new technique introducing coupled lines with via holes is proposed to overcome the open stop band problem in periodically loaded leaky wave array antenna designs. A wideband bandwidth is obtained along with high antenna gain of about 15 dBi for the proposed leaky wave antenna. This periodic leaky wave antenna loaded with periodic symmetric patches is also providing frequency scanning from −40 deg to 40 deg. through broadside.

In recent years, various types of medical applications of microwave have widely been investigated and reported. In this paper, a catheter, which ablates extravascular nerve by the thermal effect of microwave, is introduced. In addition, heating characteristics of the catheter are evaluated by numerical calculations. As a result, temperature distributions around the catheter were revealed and the usefulness of a denervation catheter using microwave was suggested.

Metamaterials provide a new route to manipulate electromagnetic waves, sound waves, elastic waves and so on. To date, it is still difficult to implement simultaneous control of multi-physical fields within single metamaterial structure. In order to tackle this challenge, we investigate the possibilities of designing a transparent metamaterial with excellent sound blocking and electromagnetic absorption properties. The metamaterial is constituted by periodic arrays of sub-wavelength ITO resonators attached to top and bottom membranes. Such configuration enables large microwave absorption owing to the ohmic loss from the meta-atoms under the illumination of plane waves, and in the meantime blocks the incident sound significantly based on the multi-resonance caused by the coupled membrane, thereby offering a promising access to bi-functional applications in the future.

This article presents the miniaturization of an UWB planar monopole antenna covering the VHF band through the use of low loss Magneto-Dielectric Materials (MDM). A new structure of the planar monopole antenna using slots have been proposed, which allows to reach high miniaturization rates by covering partially the antenna with MDM. This new monopole structure shows a miniaturization rate of 60% by covering about only 12 % of the antenna surface by the MDM.
