The WiFi-5 band was the most popular WiFi band until the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a new spectrum of 6 GHz WiFi (5.925–7.125 GHz) for unlicensed users. Our proposed work is about to cover both the 5 GHz and 6 GHz WiFi bands. These two bands have a great impact in the wireless communication field. A low-loss Rogers RT 5880 material is used as the substrate layer, which helps us to make the antenna compact ( 23 × 40 × 0.79 mm3) keeping a good performance profile over the latest high-speed WiFi-5/6 band. The proposed antenna covers a huge bandwidth (simulated BW: 2.85 GHz ranging from 4.50 to 7.35 GHz and measured BW: 2.83 GHz ranging from 4.50 to 7.33 GHz), which can be used for the latest WiFi-5 and WiFi-6 routers. The antenna also has omnidirectional properties. Besides that, the gain and directivity of the antenna are quite good, and the measured results buttress the simulated results. The presented different detail parametric studies indicate the antenna’s optimization level, which is excellent. The minimum values of reflection coefficient and voltage standing wave ratio make it a compatible candidate for the implementation of high-speed WiFi-5/6 routers.

In this paper, a new approach for designing a planar high frequency selectivity filtering coupler based on a circular patch resonator is proposed. In order to explain the operating principle, the resonant property of the circular patch resonator has been investigated firstly. Two circular patch resonators connected by two microstrip lines are used in this design. A filtering coupler is achieved by adjusting the feeder position and the length and width of the microstrip line used to connect the two resonators. Without additional circuits, the desired 0° and 180° phase differences are realized by the inherent in-phase and out-of-phase characteristics of E-fields at the TM11 mode. To improve the passband selectivity, transmission zeros are created by introducing a coupling between the source and load through the coupling slots etched on the ground. Finally, a prototype of the filtering coupler centered at 2.12 GHz is designed, implemented, and tested, while the measured results coincide well with simulated ones, verifying the proposed design concept.

In this paper, a new metasurface structure is designed to reduce radar cross section (RCS). In order to reduce the radar cross section (RCS), a new metasurface structure is designed. The unit adopts the polarization conversion metasurface structure, which is composed of asymmetric double arrow-shaped metal structure and etched on the dielectric substrate on the back of the metal plate. This polarization conversion metasurface (PCM) unit consists of asymmetric double arrow-shaped metal structure, and it is etched on a dielectric substrate backed with metallic plate. It can realize converting linear polarized waves to orthogonal ones in a broadband from 18.1 GHz to 32.7 GHz efficiently. According to the further development of the triangle chessboard layout, we also designed several new circular fan-shaped configurations, which realize RCS reduction in a wider -10 dB bandwidth compared with the triangle chessboard configuration. Finally, an optimized 8-lobed circular sector configuration composed of the designed PCM unit is selected for processing and testing. It can realize the RCS reduction greater than 10 dB in a wide bandwidth ranging from 13.7 GHz to 27.5 GHz, compared with the equal-sized metallic-backed dielectric substrate plate. The experimental results basically agree with the simulation ones. The proposed broadband circular sector structure has broad application prospects such as phased array antenna technology, electromagnetic stealth technology, and electromagnetic absorption technology.

The novel technique of generalizing complex-to-complex impedance transformers (CCITs) with miniaturization is introduced in this paper. The generalized CCITs are designed based on conjugately characteristic-impedance transmission lines (CCITLs) along with the Meta-Smith charts (MSCs), resulting in convenient design equations. For illustration, a prototype of generalized CCITs is designed, simulated, and implemented with an asymmetric compact microstrip resonant cell (ACMRC), which is one of the CCITLs. The measurement results confirm that the proposed technique offers approximately 28.5% shorter in physical length compared to the CCIT designed using standard transmission lines.

Microstrip patch antenna (MPA) is widely used for different wireless communications such as WiMAX and fifth generation (5G). In this paper, a wideband, highly efficient, omnidirectional, compact novel patch antenna has been designed and reported for WiMAX/lower 5G communications. The proposed compact MPA is made on Rogers RT 5880 ( ɛ r = 2.2 and tan δ = 0.0009 ). The physical volume of the MPA is compact ( 32 × 32 × 0.79 mm3). The MPA consists of seven small square-shaped elements that are diagonally connected with each other. The 7-element antenna works at 3.592 GHz with a suitable reflection coefficient of -46.78 dB and a -10 dB bandwidth (BW) of 1.40 GHz, covering 3.10-4.50 GHz. The apex gain ( G ) and the directivity ( D ) of the designed prototype are 3.90 dB and 4.20 dBi, respectively. The antenna maintains a high efficiency of 94-98% over the 3.10-4.50 GHz operating range. The VSWR of the antenna is close to unity, which is 1.0092 at 3.592 GHz. Initially, CST is used to design the antenna, and then, all the properties have been buttressed by using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). Finally, a prototype of the compact 7-element antenna has been developed and measured. Owing to getting good results for the intended applications, the presented compact antenna can be a reliable candidate for WiMAX (3.4-3.6 GHz) and lower 5G (3.3-4.2 GHz).

This article presents a new wide E-plane beamwidth rectangular microstrip patch antenna adopting H-shaped gap-coupling with three parasitic patches for the K-band vehicle parking monitoring system, while keeping single substrate. Both side and upper parasitic elements serve as λ and λ/2 resonators and are excited primarily by magnetic and electric couplings, respectively. The synthesis of radiation patterns from main and auxiliary elements results in the E-plane wide-beamwidth property. The proposed gap-coupling antenna provided the peak gain of 4.82 dBi, E-plane half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of 143.4°, and co-to-cross-pol ratios of 22.7 and 20.2 dB within the HPBW for the E- and H-planes, respectively. The presented geometry showed excellent figure of merits compared with others for the K-band.

In this brief, a novel filtering impedance transformer with good selectivity and high termination impedance is proposed, of which close-formed design equations are derived and effectively verified. Then, a dual-band dual-output filtering power amplifier (PA) operating at 2.4-2.6 GHz and 3.4-3.6 GHz is designed based on the proposed filtering impedance transformer. The dual-band filtering PA contains a diplexer-like output matching network, which can separate two band signals into corresponding output branches. EM-simulated results of the diplexer-like output matching network show that the isolation between the two output ports is better than 30.7 dB. Finally, for demonstration, the dual-band dual-output filtering PA using a packaged 10 W transistor is fabricated, and the measured drain efficiencies are 45.3%-50.2% and 41.7%-53.2% at lower and higher bands, respectively. Also, a good dual-band filtering response is obtained. A good agreement between simulated and measured results is observed.

This paper presents a miniaturized dual-mode handset antenna design. A quadrifilar helix antenna (QHA) is utilized to work at higher band (1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz) with circular polarization. By cutting off a circular slot on the outer conductor of the QHA feedline and introducing four quarter-wavelength short-circuited stubs, the QHA radiator and its feedline can also work as a monopole antenna at lower band (440-560 MHz) with linear polarization. With this radiator-sharing technique, the dual-mode characteristics can be achieved utilizing only a QHA; therefore, the antenna dimension can be reduced remarkably since it is unnecessary to design an additional monopole antenna. Moreover, the short-circuited stubs are designed with stripline and integrated with the one-to-four power divider and phase shifter for further miniaturization. The measured S11 is less than -8 dB. The typical gain is higher than 0.5 dBi at lower band and 2.5 dBi at higher band. The AR of the QHA is better than 1.3 dB, and the head SAR values are much lower than the international standard at both lower and higher bands. The proposed miniaturized dual-mode antenna can be applied to portable handsets to realize the intercom and satellite communications.

This paper presents a compact, dual-polarized rectenna array operating at 2.45 GHz and demonstrates its use in a microwave wireless power transmission (MWPT) system. The MWPT system comprises a compact voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a power amplifier (PA), and the dual-polarized rectenna array. The VCO and PA together form a transmitter that delivers an output power of 1 W at 2.45 GHz. The transmitter’s DC power port features a universal type-C interface, which facilitates its use in daily life. We designed a meander-line dipole rectenna that eliminates the matching network between the antenna and diode. The meander-line structure improves the rectenna’s impedance and reduces its size. The measured maximum efficiency of the rectenna is 62.5% at −2 dBm. DC power combining is applied to the rectenna array to achieve dual polarization and voltage boosting simultaneously. The proposed rectenna array is integrated into a commercial digital thermometer. The digital thermometer was powered by the proposed MWPT system, demonstrating its bright prospects for MWPT applications.

In this paper, a wearable dual-band T-shaped antenna using a coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed operating at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz bands is proposed for onbody wireless communications applications. Without the metamaterial-based electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) layer, the original antenna covers two bands from 1.96 GHz to 2.77 GHz and from 5.07 GHz to 5.35 GHz. The antenna efficiency decreases when it is placed on the human arm due to the interference from the human body to the antenna, as shown by a high specific absorption rate (SAR) value. These SAR values are reduced to 77.1% at 2.4 GHz and 91.7% at 5.2 GHz by the proposed EBG. The antenna gain is therefore improved to 1.4 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 6.25 dBi at 5.2 GHz. The antenna prototype is evaluated using a Wi-Fi wearable device, resulting in an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 6-12 dB.

Without the metamaterial-based electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) layer, the original antenna covers two bands from 1.96 GHz to 2.77 GHz and from 5.07 GHz to 5.35 GHz. The antenna efficiency decreases when it is placed on the human arm due to the interference from the human body to the antenna, as shown by a high specific absorption rate (SAR) value. These SAR values are reduced to 77.1% at 2.4 GHz and 91.7% at 5.2 GHz by the proposed EBG. The antenna gain is therefore improved to 1.4 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 6.25 dBi at 5.2 GHz. The antenna prototype is evaluated using a Wi-Fi wearable device, resulting in an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 6-12 dB.","PeriodicalId":54944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46864722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
