Electromagnetic waves have long been applied in wide area of applications. Recently, it has been increasingly interested in the agricultural applications. Since the object interacts the electromagnetic waves proportional to its properties, it can be used to identify and distinguish the quality of the agricultural products. This paper discusses some recent techniques to control the quality of several agricultural products.

The traditional Double Ridged Guide Horn (DRGH) Antenna consists of three sections: coaxial-to-ridged waveguide transition, cavity and a ridged waveguide flared section. Different variations of the coaxial-to-ridged waveguide and cavity sections of DGRH antennas are available to improve the VSWR to a 2:1 performance. In this paper three different profiles, exponential, Bezier and elliptical, are investigated for the ridges in the flared section, to obtain improved gain and radiation pattern performance for DRGH antennas. The DRGH antenna with an elliptical profile has a mark able increase in gain values, at the lower frequencies of the band.

This paper presents the architecture, the realization and the measurement results of a high sensitivity, long range and low data rates radio frequency (RF) transceiver. The transceiver can be used for Wireless Sensor Networks or Internet of Things (IoT) applications as well as for any long range digital point to point RF links. The system is designed for the 869 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band. For Minimum Shift Key (MSK) modulation and data rate of 500 bit/s the measured receiver sensitivity is −134 dBm. A sensitivity improvement can be achieved by using the Time Synchronous Averaging (TSA) method. In this approach the block to be sent is retransmitted multiple times. Received blocks are synchronously averaged thus increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. By retransmitting the data block 3 times the sensitivity is increased by 3 dB. For a transmitted power of 19 dBm a radio link can be achieved over a distance of more than 11 km with a standard whip antenna.

In this paper, the RF single-pole double-throw switch based on memistor is presented. This idea combines features of FET-based RF switches and already published memristor-based switches. The circuit function does not require the continuous DC bias signal and therefore either auxiliary capacitors or inductors. The SPICE simulations are based on the model obtained from physical measurements reported in the literature.

Low-profile monopoles operating over a wide bandwidth are highly desirable for integration into various metallic/conductive platforms, e.g. on vehicle roofs. A simple realization of omnidirectional radiation patterns is offered by center-fed shorted patch antennas, which have been first proposed in the 1950's [1]. This type of antenna has been revisited many times since then and recent designs achieve high performance combining wide bandwidth of operation and ultra-low profile. The general principle of operation of low-profile monopoles can be generally interpreted as physical realization of a magnetic current loop [2].

We report the development of a new method to both describe and design metamaterials, meta-surfaces and meta-structures in which discrete passive structures are combined into ensembles. We call these structures, meta-atoms and the structures that result are meta-molecules. By using this concept new structures can be designed with a wide range of desirable properties.

In this paper, a tunable polarization converter, in the THz band, based on graphene metasurface is presented. The unit cell of the proposed metasurfac consists of a dielectric substrate and a graphene cut wire backed on a metal ground. The designed metasurface has been optimized to operate as a polarization converter in reflection mode. Moreover, by changing the chemical potential of graphene, the operation frequency can be tuned.

This paper presents the design and characterization of an integrated rectangular patch antenna implemented in the back end of line (BEOL) of a 130 nm silicon germanium (SiGe) technology. The inset-fed antenna has a patch area of 0.19 mm2. To the knowledge of the authors, this is one of the smallest radiating element areas reported in literature for on-chip antennas at comparable frequencies. Electromagnetic simulations show a maximum antenna gain of 2.6 dBi and a directivity of 9.3 dBi. The measured resonance frequency of 192.3 GHz is in agreement with post-layout simulation results. Design challenges including impact of density fillers in integrated technologies are also discussed.

In this paper, an analysis of a perfectly conducting cylinder, covered with a layer of metamaterial, with a nonlinear loads, is carried out. The problem is solved by the method of integral equations using nonlinear boundary conditions on the surface of nonlinear load. Using a simulating of the problem in HFSS, metamaterial parameters, provided which excitation of surface waves occurs, were calculated. The radiation patterns of the structure with one nonlinear load on the fundamental frequency and on the second harmonic are shown.

In this paper, the stochastic electromagnetic field coupling to bent transmission lines above a conductive ground plane is investigated experimentally. A special focus lies on the radiation losses due to the bend. The measurements were performed in a reverberation chamber. Different bend angles of the transmission line were measured and the radiation losses were analyzed.
