A single-layer single-feed bidirectional radiated circularly polarized `G'-shaped microstrip-line antenna is proposed. The `G'-shaped microstrip-line is composed of multi segments for good matching and pure circular polarization. Moreover, a semi circle arc shaped ground is used to obtain no tilted radiation pattern. Simulations show that the antenna has 10-dB return loss bandwidth of 9%, 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth of 11% and beamwidth of 60o, and the gain is larger than 3.6 dBic over the band from 4.4 GHz to 5 GHz.

We propose an optical reflection-type electro-absorption modulator having high stability of time by using a super luminescent diode. Our proposed modulator can improve the time stability without temperature control. Time stability of our proposed modulator is less than 0.2 dB during the ambient temperature variation less than 3 degrees.

Registration sensitivity study of double-layer cross FSS and 4-legged slot FSS designed for FSS radome was conducted in this paper. Transmission properties, from aligned structure to misaligned structure of half periodicity of unit cell between FSS layers, were discussed. Transmission properties such as center frequency, 3-dB bandwidth and specific characteristic of each misaligned double layer FSS are shown in the paper. The results show that each FSS structure had maximum center frequency transition of 2 GHz and 1.2 GHz and also bandwidth showed change.

The wavelength shift of transmission resonance was achieved by a tapered metallic slit. We simulated the transmission and reflection of the tapered slit structure with the tapered slit width of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mm. The tapered slit angle shifted higher the resonance frequency, by which the cavity resonant length became shorter.

Mitigation of the impact of wind turbine (WT) forward scattering on radars, navigation systems and terrestrial radio links requires accurate modelling and rapid calculation of diffraction of RF and microwave signals at the tower and rotor of WTs. A proper analysis by 3D numerical field simulation is very time consuming as the problem is electrically extremely large. We are using 2D Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction formula and speed up numerical integration using Babinet's principle. Furthermore, perfect conducting and real ground plane is accounted for. Time variant diffraction loss (or obstacle gain) and phase modulation as well as time-frequency spectrum of the frequency deviation of the forward scattered signal is presented. Results are verified by numerical 3D field simulations (Uniform Theory of Diffraction).

This paper introduces a single-feed dual-band antenna for an anti-jam global positioning system array. The antenna is composed of a circularly polarized (CP) crossed scythe-shaped dipole over a finite artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) reflector. The dual-band operation is obtained by utilizing the original band generated by the radiator and an additional band caused by surface waves propagating on the finite AMC. The compact radiating system, including the crossed dipole and the finite AMC surface, is backed by a cavity to achieve a wide CP radiation beamwidth and a high level of mutual coupling at both bands.

Metamaterials are man-made artificial periodic structures composed by sub wavelength electromagnetic resonant or non-resonant structures, which can be characterized by effective medium parameters. The potential applications of such materials have attracted a great deal of interest within the scientific communities, like the negative refraction lens and invisible cloaks. In this paper, we will introduce some examples of microwave lens and low scattering surfaces based on metamaterials. We believe that these designs are good candidates to replace traditional devices in microwave and optical engineering.

We propose to generate the electromagnetic (EM) radiations by holographic metasurfaces, which can produce multi-beam scanning in one dimension (1D) and two dimensions (2D) controlled only by frequency. Respectively, we show that the main lobes of EM radiation beams accomplish 1D or 2D scans regularly with frequency by using the proposed holographic metasurfaces shaped with different interference patterns. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to realize 2D scans of antennas by changing the frequency.
