This article presents a polarization reconfigurable intelligent metasurface (PRIM) to realize on demand switchable cross polarization conversion and circular polarization conversion by linearly incident electromagnetic (EM) wave through globally tuned PIN diode models. The unit cell structure of PRIM consists of I-Shaped structure supported with split circle and biasing lines to control the states of voltage-controlled PIN diodes. The modeled PIN diodes are incorporated in between split circle and on the edges of unit cells. The ON/OFF states of these PIN diodes can switch the polarization state of a wave between linear and circular polarizations. The novel approach ensures the provision of electronically controlled, ultra-wide band (UWB) reflective circular-polarization in one state and cross-polarization in the other, over same functional frequency band of X- and Ku-band. The results demonstrate that in open/off state the metasurface presents cross polarization ranging from 9 GHz to 19 GHz, while in short/on state metasurface presents circular polarization ranging from 10 GHz to 22 GHz. The designed metasurface is fabricated using hardwire-bond technique to replicate functionality of diodes and tested to validate the performance of PRIM.

In this paper, reconfigurable chessboard coding plasma-based dielectric resonator structure for radar cross section reduction is investigated. The radar cross section (RCS) reduction is essential in military applications. The metallic conductor surface is covered with plasma-based dielectric resonator (DRA) unit-cells arranged in chessboard configuration. The plasma ionization voltage values are tuned to reflect the electromagnetic wave with phase shift of 180° and equal amplitudes. The phase 0° state represents the logic “0” while the phase 180° state represents the logic “1”. The chessboard arrangement consists of super-cells with 0/1 logic states. The RCS is reduced over a wide angle range reduction with −18 dBm2 at the broadside direction and below −32 dBm2 over the angular range from −90° to 90° according to the super-cell size. The non-uniform allocation of unit-cells in the super-cell chessboard arrangement is investigated. The RCS reduction bandwidth extended from 8.5 GHz to 9.65 GHz.

Photoconductive antennas are promising sources of terahertz (THz) radiation, which is frequently used to investigate and analyze biological organisms. These compact antennas make it possible to generate ultra-broadband pulses and continuously tunable THz transmissions at room temperature without the need for high-power laser sources. Here, a high efficiency spiral THz photoconductive antenna (PCA) is proposed. The design consists of a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate and a silicon (Si) hyper hemispherical lens. The proposed design has a radiation efficiency of up to 92.4% between 2.5 and 3.4 THz, with a directivity up to 17.6 dBi. With several current PCA designs as references, comparisons and analyses are made, indicating that the proposed work shows higher efficiency and radiation directivity at a wider band. The design of electrodes and hyper hemispherical lens are demonstrated in the paper. Simulations of contrast designs are shown as well, illustrating a 25%-40% efficiency and 12.8 dB gain increase by this design. Due to its performance and small structure, this antenna is ideal for T-ray medical imaging.

This study describes a non-invasive method for measuring the glucose level in aqueous solutions using a microwave-based system. The test sample (i.e., glucose-water solution) is subjected to a microwave signal. Two RF microstrip patch antennas manufactured using an FR-4 substrate and resonating at 5.7 GHz are used to create the suggested glucose sensor. The glucose-water solution is placed between the two antennas. An electronic conditioning circuit (i.e., analog readout circuit) is used to condition the received signal. A novel method to measure the amount of glucose is to observe the variation in the DC output voltage on the receiver side. Utilizing glucose-water testing samples, the technique is experimentally validated. For a concentration range of 0–5000 mg/dL, the experimental findings support the relationship between glucose concentration and the DC output voltage.

Tunable non-reciprocal components with ferrites that can be integrated using a foundry suitable process are key to achieving low-power adaptive microwave circuits. The current state-of-the-art still relies on electrical tuning or resistive absorbers to facilitate unidirectional propagation. Here, we demonstrate a novel process for spin-coating thick films of ferrites without the complexities of vacuum processes or high-temperature annealing. Composites of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanoparticles in a matrix spin-on-glass are spin-coated on silicon substrates, and magnetic properties comparable to bulk YIG are obtained in films exceeding 30 microns. We also propose a design for tunable phase shifter based on periodically serrated coplanar waveguide with a YIG cladding. A non-reciprocal phase difference of 20 - 60 degrees is obtained over a tunable band of 550 MHz between 3.85 - 4.4 GHz from a tuning magnetic field of 8 - 40 kA/m.

In this research, we presented an electromagnetically induced transparency-like (EIT-like) metasurface. The structure is composed of pairs of L-shaped resonators, and by increasing the asymmetry between the coupled resonators, the dark mode has been excited with a transparency peak at 2.84 THz. The transmission spectra based on various asymmetry degree shows the intensifying trend of EIT-like resonance. The distribution of the electromagnetic field and the surface current were also examined to demonstrate the dark mode excitation. The sensing performance of the biosensor was studied based on various refractive index and thicknesses of the sample, and a total theoretical sensitivity of 800 GHZ/RIU based on a narrow line width of 230 GHz was achieved. The results also were compared with similar research works and proved a massive enhancement in sensitivity and Q-factor. The proposed structure can be served as an ultra-sensitive, inexpensive, and label-free biosensor for applications including biological sensing.

In this paper, a classical rat-race coupler based on coplanar stripline is presented. It was built using BiCMOS 55nm technology. Parametrical analysis targeting the position of additive compulsory dummies from selected high quality coplanar stripline is carried out. Two versions of the rat-race couplers are compared: without and with metallic dummies. Simulation results show that isolation and reflection coefficients are preserved under 20 dB. With dummies considered, insertion loss value is 4.2 dB at 118 GHz. With the addition of metallic dummies coupler performance is down shifted in frequency with value of 2 GHz. Maximum amplitude imbalance is 0.4 dB reported at 140 GHz while phase imbalance difference between both cases doesn't exceed 3.1° for the whole bandwidth of interest.
