Energy harvesting seems to be a suitable solution for remote device powering in systems like wireless sensor networks, which are becoming ubiquitous. In presented paper, a wide-band Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for RF energy harvesting is studied. The frequency band of interest lies between 1.84 GHz and 2.445 GHz, covering three main wireless communication systems, namely Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) operating on 1800 MHz, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) at 2100 MHz and wireless local area network (WLAN) based on 802.11 IEEE standard [9] at 2400 MHz. Two antennas based on identical bow-tie dielectric resonators with different feeding schemes are proposed. The aperture coupled DRA shows superior performance in terms of impedance matching and stability of the radiation pattern when compared to the probe coupled antenna. The simulation results of these two antennas are compared and experimentally verified by measurements.

A Yagi antenna with three fractal Koch curve shaped elements is proposed in this paper. The antenna performances (radiation pattern, return loss and gain) are simulated and compared with these of classical Yagi antenna for the same frequency band. Fractal Yagi antenna features relatively small size and high gain. The return loss is experimentally measured.

A methodology to compensate for the influence of external noises on the set value of BER, respectively the SNR, at the output of the optical receiver of the FSO systems has been developed. This compensation is achieved by increasing the power in the input of the receiver's photodetector together with a corresponding expansion of the optical beam of the transmitter. An important point in the methodology is finding the optimal angle of divergence of the laser beam. At this angle, the required transmitter's power obtains a minimum value.

The tunable bandpass filter is presented. The filter is realized in microstrip technology employing two stepped-impedance resonators tuned with varactor diodes. The filter has constant absolute bandwidth of 30 MHz in the frequency range from 380 MHz to 920 MHz. The insertion loss is lower than 5 dB and return loss higher than 17 dB in the full tuning range. The out of band attenuation is higher than 40 dB at frequencies below the passband and is higher than 50 dB at frequencies above the passband. The first spurious modes are observed at 3 GHz. Absolute bandwidth and the time delay in the full tuning range change by 33% only while center frequency changes 242%.

In this paper, a novel low profile 2 × 2 SIW rectangular ring slot antenna array for 60 GHz band is proposed. It radiates linearly polarized wave with maximum radiation in the perpendicular direction to the antenna plane. Experimental results prove that the proposed antenna achieves the impedance bandwidth of 5.7 % for the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB and the gain of 13 dBi.

This paper focuses in the first part to demonstrate the correlation between the physical quantities of nested split ring resonators and its frequency characteristics. The investigation is conducted in a parametric study based on the simulation results and the theoretical proofs. The second part is reserved for our proposed approach to develop the method of improvement and miniaturization of RFID antennas by the inclusion of metamaterials.

The hemispherical (or half-Luneburg) lens antenna is a candidate type for satellite communications-on-the-move, either singly or as an element in a small array. It offers good aperture efficiency in a reduced height and excellent scanning performance. This work describes the development of half Luneburg lens antennas together with feeding arrangements to provide highly directive antennas with good scanning properties. The effects of the primary feed pattern and other loss mechanisms are investigated and reported. Measured gain for a 432mm diameter polymer lens at 30 GHz is 38.7 dBi.
