─ A low-profile electronically reconfigurable WLAN band-notched dual port multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) antenna design for ultra-wideband applications has been presented. Antenna elements exhibit good impedance match (S11 ≤ -10 dB) over entire ultrawideband (3.1 to 10.6 GHz) spectrum. The decoupling structure is used to improve isolation (S12/S21) above 20 dB over entire UWB band. Moreover, reconfigurable band-notching is achieved by inserting PIN diodes along the inverted L-shaped slots, in each radiator. Notch at WLAN (5.5 GHz) frequency band is achieved by switching the PIN diode to ‘OFF’ state. The antenna design is fabricated as well as measured, and the results suggests that the proposed design with switchable WLAN band-notch characteristics is suitable candidate for ultra-wideband applications. Index Terms ─ Isolation, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), PIN diodes, reconfigurable, ultra-wideband (UWB), WLAN band-notch.

─ In this communication, a compact design of a reconfigurable antenna array operating in the band IEEE 802.11a is presented. The proposed antenna array contains four radiating elements excited by a hybrid parallel-series-feed network. The hybrid feed technique is used to avoid the main beam squint due to frequency changes compared to series and parallel array feed topologies. Each of the four radiating elements consists of straight narrow strip inductor in parallel with an interdigital capacitor. The antenna resonant frequency is electronically controlled by placing PIN diodes switches at the resonant element's inputs. The antenna permits reconfigurable switching frequency bands between 5.25 and 5.82 GHz. The results of the return loss and pattern radiation are shown. The size of the whole antenna structure is about 64 × 18 mm and can potentially be used in wireless systems. Index Terms ─ Antenna array, hybrid feed, reconfigurable, miniaturized.

The implantable antenna is an important part of the wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) system to achieve wireless communication. This paper designed an ultra-wideband flexible implantable antenna for wireless capsule endoscopy system. With a very wide bandwidth, the antenna can completely cover the industrial, scientific, and medical frequency bands (ISM, 2.4-2.48 GHz) and Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS, 1.395-1.4 GHz). The expanded size of the proposed antenna is 18mm× 10mm× 0.1mm. The conformal technology of the antenna has further reduced the space of the system and achieved miniaturization. The capsule antenna in this paper is a compact planar monopole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide, and it uses a flexible material as a dielectric substrate to achieve the conformal shape of the antenna. U-shaped ground branch (UGB) and a loaded split ring resonator (SRR) structure were used to further improve the antenna performance. Simulation and measurement results were basically the same. On the premise of radiation safety and miniaturization of the antenna, the ultra-wideband operation of the antenna was realized. This antenna design provided reference value for the design and application of the capsule antenna.

The bulk Dirac semimetal (BDS) is an interesting material, similar to graphene, which can dynamically adjust its optical properties via a variation in its Fermi energy or electrical voltage. In this work, a BDS-based plasmonic device, which enables tunable terahertz plasmon-induced transparency, was proposed and designed. By using the finite element method, the surface plasmon polariton and plasmon-induced transparency of this device were systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that the plasmon-induced transparency of such device can be dynamically tuned by varying its Fermi energy. When the Fermi energy changes from 55 meV to 95 meV, the maximum group delay time of the device increases from 13.2 ps to 21 ps. In the case of a cascading device, the maximum group delay time can be further pushed up to 44.57 ps. The influence of the ambient refractive index on the optical properties of the proposed device was also considered and investigated.

─ This paper presents a new approach to the accurate determination of the far-field (FF) pattern of wide-angle scanning phased array antennas (PAAs) that uses planar near-field (NF) technology. When PAAs are engaged in wide-angle scanning, a finite scanning plane and inaccurate probe compensation can lead to truncation errors. The proposed approach reduces these by rotating the PAA to make its main beam perpendicular to the scanning plane. To verify the effectiveness of the approach, both theoretical calculations and actual measurements were undertaken. The simulated and measured results prove that the proposed method is more accurate than traditional NF technology for a large PAA scanning angle, such as ψ0=50° and Δ0=50° (in simulation; 54° when measured). Index Terms ─ Antenna measurement, planar near-field technology, wide-angle scanning phased array antenna.

In order to achieve both adjustable wideband and high Polarization Conversion Rate (PCR) of the transmitted waves, a novelty tri-layered structure is proposed for terahertz applications. The Rhombus Hollow Square (RHS) is built up by top and bottom gold gratings on Silicon Dioxide and Polyamide substrate with graphene strips. The proposed polarizer broadens the bandwidth and has well performance. As chemical potential increases, the bandwidth is also broadened by adjusting the graphene. From 0.5 THz to 3 THz, the PCR is greater than 90%, and the relative bandwidth up to 142.9%. The transmission and absorption of polarizer are analyzed at the oblique incidence with chemical potential 0.1eV. By simulating and analyzing the performance, a new result of maintaining broadband and high transmittance in oblique incidence is obtained.

─ The reduction in cogging torque enables smooth operation and an increase in the torque density of the machine. This research aims to minimize cogging torque in dual rotor single stator axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine. Reduction in cogging torque makes the back EMF sinusoidal and reduces the torque ripples in AFPM machine. In this paper, an elliptical trapezoidal-shaped permanent magnet (PM) is proposed to minimize torque ripples of the AFPM machine. The 3D finite element analysis (FEA) is used for the analysis of AFPM machine. The optimization of AFPM machine is done by employing the asymmetric magnet-overhang along with the parameters of elliptical-shaped PM using Genetic algorithm (GA). Index Terms ─ Axial flux machine, cogging torque, elliptical-trapezoidal magnet, FEA, slot-less, torque ripples.

─ In a reverberation chamber, analytical solutions exist in very limited scenarios for the distribution of the boundary fields. For arbitrary-shaped objects, analytical solutions may not exist. To solve this problem, a general numerical method is proposed to obtain the mean field distribution near arbitrary-shaped objects in a random diffused-wave environment. The proposed method combines the full-wave method and the Monte-Carlo method; the numerical results are validated and compared with that from analytical equations. The proposed method can be applied to arbitrary-shaped objects with general material properties. Index Terms ─ Boundary fields, Monte-Carlo simulation, plane wave model, reverberation chamber.

─ In this paper, we propose a newly developed impedance method to gauge the variations of multidirectional strain using a near-circular-patch based sensor. A novel three-dimensional (3D) feeding mechanism realized by a 90-deg bended microstrip line is devised for allowing strain detection along any direction in the azimuth plane of a metallic surface. The simulated results, verified by experimental results, demonstrate that there is a linear relationship between normalized impedance and multi-directional strain with high sensitivities of about 100 ppm/με. The relationship between sensitivity and sensor orientation is derived as a cosine function, which is a useful feature for estimating principal strain direction.

─ In this paper, a mode stirrer composed of random positioned metal plates is proposed for reverberation chamber. The designing procedure of the mode stirrer is presented. The designed stirrer is compared with the common Z-shaped stirrer in both simulation and measurement. It is shown that in general the proposed stirrer outperforms the common Z-shaped stirrer with the same sweeping volume. Nevertheless, the measurement results show that the performance improvement of the designed stirrer becomes insignificant at higher frequencies with additional platform stirring. Albeit the difference, the stirring improvement of the designed stirrer is clearly demonstrated at low frequencies, which is more important due to the inherent low mode density at low frequency. Index Terms ─ Independent sample number, measurement uncertainty, mode stirrer, reverberation chamber.
