Abstract The design and analysis of the electrically small eight-shaped wearable antenna for both on- and off-body communication is proposed in this paper. An eight-shaped radiating structure is placed over the jeans substrate and an I-shaped slot is introduced in the ground plane which makes the antenna resonates at the ISM-I band (2.4 GHz). The antenna has a compact size of 0.30λ0 × 0.20λ0 × 0.001λ0, where λ0 is the free space wavelength at the resonance frequency. The impedance bandwidth (≤−10 dB) of the antenna is 6.1 % and 5.8 % in free space and presence of a human body phantom respectively. The antenna design exhibits good gain along with an improved omnidirectional radiation pattern. The specific absorption rate (SAR) of the antenna averaged over 1 g of tissue is 0.21 W/kg at 2.45 GHz which is far below the FCC standard. The paper also discusses the bending analysis and the fundamental size limitations of the small antenna, concluding that it is suitable for practical use. The simulated results of the prototype are validated by the measured results.

Abstract An ultra wide band system utilizing Half Impulse Radiating Antenna topology has been designed and developed. A compact Marx generator and a solid dielectric pulse forming line fed the antenna. Based on pulse parameters, frequency range of 250 MHz–1250 MHz is chosen for antenna design. Analytical equations and CST Microwave Studio are used for design and analysis of the Antenna and ultra wide band system. Maximum electric field of 11 kV/m at 20 m distance from source has been measured using half-transverse electromagnetic horn type sensor. This paper discusses both time domain and frequency domain results for the designed UWB system. A good agreement between the simulated and the measured power pattern has been demonstrated in this paper.

Abstract The crucial component of a successful building fire rescue is detecting trapped individuals efficiently and supporting firefighters in planning rescue and evacuation routes simultaneously. Due to its insensitivity to heat flow, great penetration, and high accuracy, Ultra-Wideband radar is widely used in autonomous driving and medical monitoring, but it has not yet been shown its full potential in fire rescue. In light of this, a summary of eight technical challenges for finding and rescuing trapped individuals in typical building fire scenarios is provided, which could be the traction to investigate the capability state of UWB radar technology. Five technological issues that restrict the use of UWB radar for fire rescue scene detection are discussed followed. Finally, 10 important technologies are presented in three directions to deal with the issues at hand, and several advanced technologies are planned in two directions to improve the performance of UWB radar in fire rescue.

Abstract This article presents a conformal monopole antenna for wearable application in ISM band frequency of 2.45 GHz. The antenna has a return loss of 50.18 dB with good radiation performance. The gain of the antenna is 1.09 dBi which is improved to 3.28 dBi using a metasurface consisting of 3 × 3 array elements. The proposed metamaterial integrated antenna is fabricated on 1 mm thick flexible PDMS substrate. The metamaterial improves the gain while reducing the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the antenna. The geometry size of the metamaterial integrated antenna is 50 × 50 × 24 mm3. The loading effect of antenna by body is analyzed with a hand phantom model. Flexibility and conformability of antenna is analyzed by bending the antenna with various radii in x and y direction. Measured results of the fabricated prototype demonstrate the safety of the suggested wearable antenna for biomedical applications.

Abstract A smart antenna system suitable for micro base stations is proposed, which consists of three left-handed circularly polarized designs operating at 3.5 GHz. The first one is an eight-port cylindrical conformal antenna with both omnidirectional and directional modes. Its maximum omnidirectional realized gain is 5.0 dBic, and its maximum single/dual beam realized gain under the directional mode on the horizontal plane is 9.4/6.9 dBic. In addition, it can achieve elevational scan from 70° to 110°. The second one is based on the first one with a feeding network, therefore reducing the number of ports to four, achieving a maximum omnidirectional and directional realized gain of 4.2 and 7.9 dBic. The third one is also based on the first one, but with two additional omnidirectional antennas added, making it a hybrid system with enhanced omnidirectional radiation. It has a maximum omnidirectional and directional realized gain of 6.4 and 8.2 dBic. To validate the proposed concept, three prototype arrays are designed, fabricated, and measured, showing that the proposed antenna system can achieve the desired radiation patterns according to different targeted applications.

Abstract A stacked dielectric magnetoelectric antenna with embedded ceramics (SDMEA-EC) is proposed. The antenna consists of a stacked dielectric resonator antenna with embedded ceramics and a leaf-shaped electric dipole (LSE-Dipole). To improve the performance of the magnetoelectric dipole antenna, a novel verification method is proposed by analyzing equivalent magnetic currents to meet the Huygens element principle. The stacked structure with embedded ceramics is helpful for expanding the impedance bandwidth. The electric dipole not only participates in the radiation but also is a part of the feed network, which simplifies the overall structure. The prototype of the proposed stacked dielectric resonator magnetoelectric antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth of 20.2 % in the high frequency band (5.35 GHz–6.55 GHz) and 13.4 % in the low frequency band (4.54 GHz–5.19 GHz), an over 6.7 dBi gain, and a cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) of greater than 30 dB.

Abstract In recent years there has been a substantial growth in the usage of wireless gadgets in various fields like mobile communication, health monitoring, warfare communications, etc. However, the performance of the antenna is evaluated by the parameters like gain, directivity and bandwidth, VSWR and is enhanced as a continuous process. But on the other side, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a parameter that is likely to be watched out for the safety concern which should be as low as possible for any antenna to ensure the minimum risk to human health. Many researchers have contributed an enormous amount of work to the SAR reduction. From this perspective, this work proposes a brief survey on low SAR antennas. An optimal low SAR antenna needs a perfect lossless impedance matching over a lossy medium (human body) for the eradication of spurious surface waves. The deployment of SAR reduction strategies, outcomes of the design, and open-end research challenges with the relative results are addressed as a part of the survey. The core impulse of this work is to induct the antenna designers to get indulged in designing low SAR antenna with enhanced performance for several WBAN applications like health monitoring and many more.

Abstract A novel strip line fed, circularly polarized (CP), annular slotted dual band antenna using hybrid electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure for Global Positioning System (GPS) has been herein designed, analyzed, and investigated for wearable applications. Adjusting the radii of the annular slots on the radiating patch excellent circular polarized (CP) radiation and impedance matching is achieved. The design demonstrates Kapton based flexible, robust, and low-profile solution with permittivity of 3.4 to meet the requirements of wearable applications. Due to the high losses of the animal body, the electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure is used to reduce back radiation and the effect of frequency detuning. The proposed antenna structure also enhances the front-to-back ratio (FBR) by 10 dB. This antenna with dimensions 0.56λ0 × 0.4913λ0 × 0.002λ0 analyzed using a flexible Kapton substrate. Optimized hybrid EBG structure provides an excellent Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) along with all other antenna parameters, within acceptable for GPS-based wearable applications at 1.13 GHz and 1.157 GHz frequency band. Therefore the proposed antenna is a suitable candidate for GPS-based tracking and wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. The proposed antenna was also tested upon fabrication and the measured results agree with simulated results.

Abstract In this paper, we propose the use of the graphics processing units (GPUs) for acceleration of solution of the H-polarized electromagnetic waves scattering by strip gratings. The approach combines the boundary integral equation method with the Nystrom-type discretization of singular integral equations and is realized with the use of C++ and OpenCL. The elements of the matrix of the resulting system of equations can be calculated independently and, thus, in parallel. The calculation time of the proposed parallelized algorithm on GPU is compared to standard serial algorithm executed on CPU. We considered gratings of graphene strips in vacuum and inside a dielectric slab. The acceleration is up to 35–55 times for the gratings in vacuum and up to 80–140 times for the gratings of 5–20 strips inside the dielectric slab.

Abstract This paper presents the design of a multi-band planar bandpass Frequency Selective Surface with the novel rings and a modified Jerusalem cross integrated structure. To begin, the proposed FSS array geometry is defined by constructing a unit cell size of order of 0.57 λ0 × 0.57 λ0 where λ0 represents free-space wavelength of the first resonant frequency of the FSS periodic structure using novel concentric rings, leading to low profile design. The array structure is fabricated on the substrate material FR4 with a permittivity of 4.4 and having a thickness of 0.8 mm. Combination of concentric rings and Jerusalem Integrated Structure is examined. Low-profile, simpler design, improved angular and polarization stability are all benefits of the proposed FSS. The proposed FSS structure is designed to obtain a stable frequency response over entire Ku band. The simulated and experimental results are measured in a free space measurement setup, which indicate resonances at 12.39 GHz, 14.63 GHz, 16.11 GHz and 17.82 GHz, exhibits supported band pass frequency ratio 1.43 for Ku band applications. The simulated, equivalent circuit model and experimental results showed that the experimental results agree well with the simulated results for both TE (Transverse Electric) mode and TM (Transverse Magnetic) mode of polarization.
