A two element array of circular shaped cavity backed substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based antenna is proposed in this work. The elements are backed by a dielectric cavity of FR4 epoxy and fed by SIW slot coupling mechanism. Keeping the advantages of the conventional waveguides, the bandwidth of the radiation can be increased by choosing proper dimensions to the slots and circular patches. The two element array configuration in the design contributed to the comfortable uplift of the gain. The impedance matching is achieved by inserting a two arm power divider with pre-calculated dimensions. The accurate formulation of the electromagnetic problem of analyzing the SIW antenna is achieved by using integral equation based methods which can be solved numerically. The designed top layer of the antenna is analyzed with well known Method of Moments (MoM) and the results are compared. The functioning of the antenna is compared in terms of Return losses, radiation pattern and gain. The antenna exhibits 72% of bandwidth with peak gain of 4.2dB in the range of 4.4GHz to9.9GHz with the resonating frequency of 7.54GHz and well suited for C-band microwave communication applications.

A novel circular polarized dielectric antenna array (DRA) for millimeter-wave applications at 30 GHz is presented in this paper. The unit element array is a flower-shaped DRA fed with a cross slot. To obtain circular polarization, a sequential network combined with the cross slots is used to feed the 2×2 array. The prototype of the proposed antenna array is fabricated and measured to obtain a wide resonance bandwidth from 27 GHz to 38 GHz frequency band. Furthermore, this left-hand polarized antenna array has achieved a peak gain of 9.5 dBi with 3-dB axial ratio at 30 GHz. The proposed DRA array with wideband resonance and gain bandwidth has the potential to be used for millimeter-wave wireless communications at the 30 GHz band.

Fast Multipole Algorithm

Electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation of underground targets is of great significance for the safety of urban construction. Based on the accurate and efficient simulation of scattering, we can detect the underground targets successfully. As one of the most popular numerical methods in electromagnetics, surface integral equations solved by method of moments (MoM) are used to simulate the scattering from underground targets in this paper. The integral equation is discretized by RWG basis and Galerkin testing. Multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is used to decrease the computation complexity and memory cost. However, the octree used in MLFMA is not applied for rough surfaces and targets together; both the surface and target need to construct octree separately. Since the combination of MLFMA and ACA can build a more efficient method to compute scattering from underground targets, adaptive cross approximation (ACA) is used to compress the impedance matrix instead of MLFMA for the coupling action between the rough surface and target. That is to say that, when calculating the scattering of two targets, target self-interaction is suitable for MLFMA calculation and the coupling between targets is approximated by ACA. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of our proposed method.

A new microstrip slot antenna with parasitic elements has been presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is composed of a microstrip feed line, a ground plane on which some simple slots are etched, and parasitic elements. Simulation results show that the antenna structure allows for the independent adjustment of each frequency. A two-element array configuration of this antenna for MIMO application is investigated as well. For comparison between simulation and measurement result both single and array configurations have been fabricated. The measurement result exhibits good radiation performance in terms of return loss, low mutual coupling, and compactness.

Point Of Interest

A method has been developed for the solution of the resistivity and IP modeling problem for one or more two‐dimensional inhomogeneities buried in a space for which the Dirichlet Green’s function is known. The boundary‐value problem reduces to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind which is parametrically a function of a spatial wavenumber. Using the method of moments, the integral equation is solved for a number of values of the wavenumber. An inverse Fourier transform is then performed in order to obtain the electric potential at any point of interest. The method agrees well with both experimental results and other numerical techniques.
