A systematic technique for the accurate implementation of electromagnetic resonance-based wireless power transfer (WPT) implementations by means of diverse metamaterials is presented in this paper. To this aim, two distinct resonating elements are selected, i.e. the edge-coupled split ring resonator (EC-SRR) and the E2 SRR. In particular, the macroscopic properties of these elements are precisely retrieved and the preceding SRRs are then incorporated in the featured WPT scheme. The performance of the system, including the magnetically resonant SRR, is proven to be very promising for distances within a few centimeters, as expected from the initial theoretical analysis, contrary to the case of the electrically resonant elements.

The radiation characteristics for a grid array antenna printed on a dielectric substrate (PGAA) excited in unbalanced mode (UnBal-PGAA) are analyzed using an integral equation with the method of moments (MoM). The UnBal-PGAA radiates a linearly polarized beam in the broadside direction. It is found that a difference in the excitation modes (balance and unbalance) does not affect remarkably the half-power beam-width and the frequency bandwidth of the gain.

A new non-reciprocal antenna array has been proposed in this paper for operation in microwave frequencies. The antenna array has been configured using a gyrator with the antenna patch elements through a T-type structure. Implementation of gyrator in the structure, that provides a phase shift of 180 degrees, results in a same beam direction of the forward and backward signals in the proposed antenna array. This proposed novel structure provides high radiation efficiency with beam steering and reduced side lobe levels.

In this paper, we develop a novel technique for computing the complex-conjugate zeros of rational transfer functions in partial fraction form, by searching the complex Laplace s-plane for the local minima of the determinant of a block matrix derived from the state-space equations. A higher resolution scan, in the vicinity of each local minima, may be used to increase precision of the zeros. This method can be applied to antennas to extract the zeros from the antenna response. One numerical example and one practical coax patch antenna example have been used to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.

T Traditional circularly polarized (CP) horn antennas use a septum (or a partition) based feed, which is difficult to fabricate beyond 60 GHz. As an alternative, here we propose hexagonal waveguide based CP antenna design that is fabrication friendly and low-cost. Design, fabrication and characterization is shown for an F-band prototype. The prototype exhibits 18 dBi mid-band gain with three dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth beyond thirty percent.

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam can be used to significantly increase the communication capacity. In this paper, a reflectarray antenna is proposed and demonstrated for generating arbitrary OAM beams. A new dual-resonance dipole element is employed to implement the conversion between the incident spherical wave and the reflected OAM wave. Besides, this element can provide very good polarization separation and wide phase coverage. Thus, the OAM multiplexing can be achieved in a compact configuration by using independent feeders. As an example, four independent OAM modes, i.e., l=±1 and l=±2, are generated by a Ka-band reflectarray antenna.

Bandwidth and Efficiency enhancement by multiport loading of a double notched small antenna is presented in this paper. The technique used is based on the combination of the Network Characteristic Modes (NCM) with an optimization algorithm, in order to find the optimal load values at specified positions. The required loads are found to be simple capacitive loads.

For the disaster prevention, the person has to wear the helmet and use the transceiver by one hand operation. The helmet antenna has been required to achieve the hands-free operation. Since the operational band for disaster prevention is 150 MHz, which corresponds to wavelength of 2 meters, the required performances for the helmet antenna are not only the low-profile and small configuration but also the suppression of the radiation toward a human head. This paper presents the folded dipole antenna on the hemispherical PMC shell for the helmet antenna design. By applying the perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) boundary to the surface of the hemispherical shell, the suppression of radiation toward the human head and impedance matching can be achieved simultaneously.

In this paper, based on the inverse transformation optics and Maxwell's equation, a metasurface is designed, which can transformed the incident plane wave into four circularly polarized beams with specific angles. After simplification and approximation, we realize the metasurface by constructing the structure of 3-layered Jerusalem crosses in the three-dimensional structure. The design method has provided novel ideas of the antenna design based on transformation optics.

The unified asymptotic theory provides an accurate description of the field dynamics in (chirped) dispersive electromagnetic pulse propagation of arbitrary initial width in causally dispersive media. The propagated field is a superposition of pulse components whose characteristics are directly related to the dynamical evolution of the saddle points that are relevant in the asymptotic analysis. Here, this theoretical approach is utilized in order to investigate the dependence of the temporal width of the propagated field's envelope on the input field and medium parameters from the sub-cycle to the quasimonochromatic initial pulse regimes.
