Novel slot-array-based SIW corrugated technique is demonstrated to achieve 2D gain enhancement, namely, sharpening the beamwidths in both E-plane and H-plane. Compared to other metallic corrugated methods to realize 2D gain enhancement, the proposed design, with SIW grooves to reduce the beamwidth in E-plane and slot array to increase the directivity in H-plane, has a lower profile, weight, and design complexity, which can be easily fabricated with the common printed circuit board (PCB) technique. A prototype is designed and fabricated, with measurement presenting a low reflection coefficient less than −10 dB from 26.4 GHz to 28.2 GHz and an enhanced gain up to 18 dB. Overall, our proposed technique will be beneficial for the design of high-gain antenna in 5G wireless terminals.

A new type of single‑layer transrefleсtor structure based on microstrip reflective antenna array is described. The developed  device is a single‑layer printed circuit board on one side of which a system of printed reflectors is located, and on the other is  a polarization structure consisting of parallel metal conductors, in contrast to a microstrip reflectarray antenna. The shape and  geometrical dimensions of printed reflectors arranged in a rectangular or hexagonal (triangular) pattern are chosen in such a way  that they transform a spherical front of an incident vertically polarized electromagnetic wave into a flat front of reflected wave. In  the case of irradiation of the developed transreflector with a horizontal polarization wave, the printed structure makes minimal  electromagnetic energy loss during its passage. The results of characteristics modeling (including phase curves) of an element  of the reflective lattice in the W‑band for different angles of incidence of the wave on the planar structure under study are given.  Based on the results obtained, the sizes of the reflective elements of the transreflector, which provide for the correction of the  incident wave with the necessary phase discrete, are determined and an electrodynamic model of the transreflector antenna is  built. The simulation of the main radiation characteristics of the antenna with the developed single‑layer transreflector was carried  out.

AbstractA simple waveguide measurement technique is presented to determine the complex permittivity of printed circuit board material. The printed circuit board with metal coating removed from both sides and cut into size which is the same as the cross section of the waveguide is loaded in a short X-band rectangular waveguide. Using a network analyzer, the reflection coefficient of the shorted waveguide(loaded with the sample) is measured. Using the Finite Element Method(FEM) the exact reflection coefficient of the shorted wavguide(loaded with the sample) is determined as a function of dielectric constant. Matching the measured value of the reflection coefficient with the reflection value calculated using FEM and utilizing Newton-Raphson Method, an estimate of the dielectric constant of a printed circuit board material is obtained. A comparison of estimated values of permittivity constant obtained using the present approach with the available data.

Frequency Domain Decomposition

Since the level of vibration always depends on the natural frequencies of the system, it is important to know the modal parameters of such system to control failure and provide prevention actions. The demand for structurally reliable Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) has increased as more functions are required from electronic products along with less weight and smaller size. This imposes certain limitations and critical requirements. In this paper, investigation on the dynamic characteristics of CEM-1 Single-layer PCB using Operational Modal Analysis (OMA, or often called Output-Only or Ambient Modal analysis), is presented. The Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD) and Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD) techniques are applied on the PCB with free-free end condition. Comparison of results between both techniques and also with the result from Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA), will be shown. The understanding on dynamic behaviour of this structure provides valuable insight into the nature of the response and remarkable enhancement of its model, strength and vibration.

AbstractFast, efficient and more importantly accurate serial dilution is a requirement for many chemical and biological microfluidic-based applications. Over the last decade, a large number of microfluidic devices has been proposed, each demonstrating either a different type of dilution technique or complex system architectures based on various flow source combinations. In this work, a novel serial dilution architecture is demonstrated, implemented on a commercially fabricated printed circuit board (PCB). The proposed single layer, stepwise serial diluter comprises an optimised microfluidic network, where identical dilution ratio per stage can be ensured, either by applying equal pressure or equal flow rates at both inlets. The advantages of the proposed serial diluter are twofold. Firstly, it is structured as a modular unit cell, simplifying the required fluid driving mechanism to a single source for both sample and buffer solution. Thus, this unit cell can be seen as a fundamental microfluidic building block, which can form multistage serial dilution cascades, once combined appropriately with itself or other similar unit cells. Secondly, the serial diluter has been fabricated entirely using commercial PCB technologies, allowing the device to be interfaced with standard electronic components, if more complex miniature point-of-care (PoC) systems are desired, where the small footprint and accuracy of the device is of paramount importance.

Template based printed circuit board (PCB) inspection needs aligning the test image to the reference image, but most of the current image alignment methods are very time-consuming. In order to improve the efficiency of PCB inspection, we put forward an image alignment algorithm based on connected components matching, and design a procedure to detect defects and classify defects. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves good results for real single layer, bare PCB inspection.

In this paper, a compact, wideband, and high-efficiency substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) feeding cavity-backed aperture-coupled magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna element and its array are proposed. Firstly, an SIW cavity-backed and a modified bowtie dipole are designed for the antenna element which makes it possess a high gain and wide impedance bandwidth. The antenna element covers an impedance bandwidth of 66.3% from 10.7 to 21.3 GHz with a peak gain of 10.3 dBi. Secondly, a 4 × 4 array is designed using the proposed antenna element. And a full-corporate substrate integrated waveguide feeding network is introduced to excite the array elements for the antenna application with wide bandwidth and high efficiency. For validation, a prototype of 4 × 4 array is fabricated by standard printed circuit board (PCB) facilities and further measured. The measured −10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed 4 × 4 antenna array is 30% (12.75–17.25 GHz) with its gain being 18.2–20.9 dBi within the entire band. The measured maximum aperture efficiency of the antenna array is 94% at 14.92 GHz. Notably, the measured results agree well with simulations, and it shows great advantages over other similar antennas on efficiency and bandwidth.

A dual-band bandpass substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter is proposed using a quad-mode cavity in this paper. First two degenerative modes (TE102 and TE201) with via perturbation give the first passband. The second passband is realised by using higher modes (side and diagonal modes of TE202) which are obtained by putting square slot at the center of the cavity. The square slot increases the frequency ratio of the center frequencies of first and second passbands. Moreover, orthogonal feed-lines are used in the proposed design to increase transmission zeros (TZs) which helps to improve the selectivity and out-of-band rejection of the filter. Designed and fabricated a dualband filter prototype using a single layer printed circuit board (PCB) technology, size is only 19 mm × 19 mm. The insertion losses are 2.1 dB and 2.4 dB, and fractional bandwidths of 3.40 per cent and 2.00 per cent at 11.00 and 15.58 GHz, respectively. The measurement results show close agreement with the simulation results.
