Particle swarm optimization is a stochastic evolutionary computation technique that emulates the behavior of swarms. The algorithm was used to optimize the design of reduced-size meandered line and end-loaded dipoles. The performance characteristics of both styles of antenna, optimized to the same criteria, are compared

In this paper, we present a novel design of a dual-band high directive EBG resonator antenna that utilizes a single layer frequency selective surfaces (FSS) as a superstrate. In this study we use a special configuration of square loop-array to design the FSS superstrate layer. We obtain the different operating frequencies by adjusting the distance of FSS from printed patch antenna and also the perimeter of square loops. The proposed structure presents more than 18 dBi directivity enhancement at 11.25 GHz and 13.15 GHz as compared to those of a patch antenna with 6 dBi directivity

A rigorous finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) modeling method has been presented to analyze the Gunn diodes covering three grid cells in the axial direction. The numerical results of an active antenna are near to the measured results and better than the computed ones in previous studies. This approach is convenient to study millimeter and sub-millimeter wave circuits with nonlinear lumped elements. According to the practical grid structures, the iterated field equations group of the diodes occupying two, four or more grid cells can be achieved easily

In satellite earth station antenna systems there is an increasing demand for complex single aperture, multi-function and multi-frequency band capable feed systems. In this work, a multi band feed system (6/12 GHz) is described which employs quadrature junctions (QJ) and supports transmit and receive functionality in the C and Ku bands respectively. This feed system is designed for a 16.4 m diameter shaped cassegrain antenna. It is a single aperture, 4 port system with transmit capability in circular polarization (CP) mode over the 6.625-6.69 GHz band and receive in the linear polarization (LP) mode over the 12.1-12.3 GHz band

In this paper some properties of a 1-18 GHz double ridged guide horn antenna (DRGH) with a feeding section including coaxial input and a back shorting plate are rigorously investigated. Most desired electromagnetic characteristics of this antenna is achieved by empirically finding sizes for different parameters, however there is no explanation for the effect of most of them in open literature. In order to have a clear idea of the effects of different parameters, a 1-18 GHz DRGH has been simulated with HFSS. It is understood from the results that the parameters near feeding point such as the initial distance between ridges, the distance between the center of the probe and the cavity, and the radius of the inserted probe play a significant role in controlling VSWR and gain and in shaping the radiation pattern for high frequencies

This paper focuses on using blind source separation of complex signals to extract scattering centers of radar targets that can then be used for target identification. The concept introduced in this paper assumes that the signal returned (or scattered) from a target is linear or convolutive mixture of several scattering centers along the body of an unknown aircraft. This information can then be used in a pattern recognition scheme for the purpose of identifying the non-cooperative unknown target. The results presented prove the concept using synthetic radar data. Work is ongoing to apply this concept to real radar data as received through an array of sensors (antennas)

An innovative reconfigurable nested patch antenna has been developed to cover the various GSM, GPS, DCS, PCS, Bluetooth and WLAN services. A 75% size reduction has been achieved using even and odd structure symmetry. Designs were first implemented using hard-wire connections and then MEMS switches. The developed design can be utilized as a part of a universal, multi-service, multi-band wireless receiver

In this paper, analytical expressions of power-gains derived using two previously reported methods are compared. First approach involves the normalization of incident and reflected waves using conjugate characteristic impedances (CCI) of the line and the other involves the normalization using a characteristic conductance (CC) of the line. Then power-gains are numerically compared in a specified range of the argument Phi of the line characteristic impedance
