Рассматривается полуволновый диполь с установленным рефлектором, который позволяет производить сканирование пространства с использованием вращения рефлектора вокруг диполя. Для полученной конструкции производилось моделирование основных параметров, которые показали высокую стабильность при различных положениях рефлектора, постоянное значение коэффициента направленного действия, ширины главного лепестка. Изменение направления излучения совпадает с текущим положением рефлектора. По сравнению с ситуацией, когда у антенны отсутствовал рефлектор, КНД антенны увеличился, так как произошла фокусировка электромагнитных волн. Коэффициент полезного действия и передне-заднее отношение сохраняют высокие значения во всем диапазоне рабочих частот. Применение предложенной конструкции позволяет упростить конструкцию сканирующих антенн, так как для ее реализации требуются лишь полуволновой диполь и плоский рефлектор, установленный на малом расстоянии от источника излучения. В процессе управления характеристиками требуется вращать рефлектор вокруг диполя, при этом диполь остается неподвижным, что позволяет повысить эффективность предложенной конструкции, так как не требуется формировать сложных антенных систем или устанавливать комбинацию из нескольких антенн для фокусировки излучения в одном направлении от источника The article discusses a half-wave dipole with an installed reflector, which allows scanning space using the rotation of the reflector around the dipole. For the resulting structure, we simulated the main parameters, which showed high stability at various positions of the reflector, a constant value of the directivity factor, and the width of the main lobe. The change in the direction of radiation coincides with the current position of the reflector. Compared to the situation when the antenna did not have a reflector, the directivity of the antenna increased since the focusing of electromagnetic waves took place. The efficiency and the front-to-back ratio remain high throughout the entire operating frequency range. The use of the proposed design makes it possible to simplify the design of scanning antennas since the implementation of the proposed design requires only a half-wave dipole and a flat reflector installed at a short distance from the radiation source. In the process of controlling the characteristics, it is required to rotate the reflector around the dipole, while the dipole remains stationary, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the proposed design, since it is not required to form complex antenna systems or install a combination of several antennas to focus radiation in one direction from the source

In this paper, a novel compact broadband antenna at UHF frequencies is presented with canonical shapes. Hemispherical, conical and cylindrical shapes have all been considered for antenna configuration. The designed antenna provides an instantaneous frequency range from 370 to 5,000 MHz with omnidirectional characteristics. The antenna was simulated in CST Microwave Studio, fabricated and evaluated; the results are presented. The simulated and measurement results are in good agreement. The antenna has voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ≤ 1.9:1 in 400–570 MHz, 2,530–3,740 MHz and 4,180–4,620 MHz; it has VSWR ≤ 3:1 over the operating frequency range 370–5,000 MHz and the measured gain varies from -0.6 to 4.5 dBi over the frequency band. The concept of canonical-shaped antenna elements and the incorporation of triple sleeves resulted in a reduction of the length of the antenna by 62% compared to the length of a half-wave dipole antenna designed at the lowest frequency. The antenna can be used for trans-receiving applications in wireless communication.

Рассматривается двухрефлекторная Bi-Quad антенна, способная работать в диапазоне частот, соответствующих WLAN Wi-Fi 2,4 ГГц. Благодаря возможности управления положением рефлекторов удается добиться изменения направления излучения, что повышает эффективность использования антенны, коэффициент направленного действия. При управлении происходит поворот ячеек, из которых сформированы отражательные структуры, что позволяет пропускать электромагнитное излучение, которое формирует излучатель из медного провода в форме цифры «восемь». Предложенная конструкция позволяет обеспечить три стабильных режима работы антенны: двустороннее излучение, когда оба рефлектора в открытом положении, при таком режиме у антенны наблюдается одинаковое излучение в обоих направлениях с равным КНД; излучение вверх, в данном режиме верхний рефлектор открыт, что приводит к свободному протеканию электромагнитных волн, а от закрытого нижнего происходят отражения, в результате этого происходит увеличение КНД антенны по сравнению с ситуацией двустороннего излучения; аналогичная ситуация происходит при излучении вниз, когда открыт нижний рефлектор, так электромагнитные волны отражаются от закрытого верхнего рефлектора вниз, что приводит к увеличению КНД антенны. Предложенная конструкция обладает высокой эффективностью в диапазоне рабочих частот The article discusses a two-reflector Bi-Quad antenna capable of operating in the frequency range corresponding to WLAN Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz. Thanks to the ability to control the position of the reflectors, it is possible to achieve a change in the direction of radiation, which increases the efficiency of using the antenna, and increases the directivity. During control, the cells are rotated, from which the reflective structures are formed, which allows the transmission of electromagnetic radiation, which is formed by the emitter, formed from a copper wire in the shape of the number "eight". The proposed design makes it possible to provide three stable modes of antenna operation: double-sided radiation, when both reflectors are in the open position, in this mode the antenna has the same radiation in both directions with equal directivity; radiation upward, in this mode, the upper reflector is open, which leads to free flow of electromagnetic waves, and reflections occur from the closed lower reflector, as a result of this, the antenna directivity increases in comparison with the situation of two-sided radiation. A similar situation occurs when radiating downward, when the lower reflector is open, so electromagnetic waves are reflected from the closed upper reflector downward, which leads to an increase in the antenna directivity. The proposed design is highly efficient in the operating frequency range

Now there’re many researches on the electromagnetic radiation protection function of the cement-based electromagnetic wave absorbing materials, such materials have been widely used in various types of buildings. This paper proposed an idea for preparing a cement-based composite material by mixing functional aggregates with high content of Fe2O3 and SiC, that is, adding Fe3O4 powder and nano-SiC of different contents in the clay, and then sintering at 1190℃; the prepared aggregates showed obvious magnetic loss and dielectric loss to electromagnetic waves, and the numerical tube pressure could reach 16.83MPa. The double-layer reflectivity test board made of functional aggregates showed excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance, its reflection loss was less than -10dB in the frequency range of 8~18GHz (corresponding to energy absorption greater than 90% EM), and its maximum RL reached -12.13dB. In addition, the compressive strength of the cement-based composite material at the age of 28 days reached 50.1 MPa, which can meet the strength requirements of building materials.

In this paper, a novel wideband conformal fractal antenna is proposed for GPS application. The concepts of fractal and partial ground are used in conformal antenna design for miniaturization and bandwidth enhancement. It comprises of Minkowski fractal patch on a substrate of Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with permittivity 2.2 and thickness of 0.787mm with microstrip inset feed. The proposed conformal antenna has a patch dimension about 0.39λmm×0.39λmm, and partial ground plane size is 29mm×90mm.The proposed antenna is simulated, fabricated and measured for both planar and conformal geometry, with good agreement between measurements and simulations. The size of the fractal patch is reduced approximately by 32% as compared with conventional patch. It is observed that the conformal antenna exhibits a fractional bandwidth(for the definition of -10dB) of 43.72% operating from 1.09 to 1.7GHz, which is useful for L1(1.56-1.58GHz), L2(1.21-1.23GHz), L3(1.37-1.39GHz), L4(1.36-1.38GHz), and L5(1.16-1.18 GHz) in GPS and Galileo frequencies: E=1589.742MHz(4MHzbandwidth), E2=1561. 098MHz(4MHzbandwidth), E5a=1176.45MHz(=L5),E5b= 1207.14MHz, and E6=1278.75MHz(40MHz bandwidth). The radiation pattern exhibits an omnidirectional pattern, and gain of proposed antenna is 2.3dBi to 3.5dBi within operating frequency range.

This paper presents for the first time a parallel comparison of the performance of RF inductors realized on different substrate configurations. Presented inductors are meander type structures fabricated in Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology. Also, chosen material is never before implemented for inductor fabrication. The performance improvement is achieved by design optimization of different substrate configurations that incorporate placement of an air-gap beneath the inductor and/or introduction of an additional shielding layer on the top. Designed structures are characterized on the basis of simulation and experimental data, achieving good correlation between obtained results. Presented results show over 30 % increase in quality factor and widening of the operating frequency range by over 55 %.

Antennas are crucial elements for wireless technologies, communications and power transfer across the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves, including radio, microwaves, THz and optics. In this paper, we review our recent achievements in two promising areas: coherently enhanced wireless power transfer (WPT) and superdirective dielectric antennas. We show that the concept of coherently enhanced WPT allows improvement of the antenna receiving efficiency by coherent excitation of the outcoupling waveguide with a backward propagating guided mode with a specific amplitude and phase. Antennas with the superdirectivity effect can increase the WPT system’s performance in another way, through tailoring of radiation diagram via engineering antenna multipoles excitation and interference of their radiation. We demonstrate a way to achieve the superdirectivity effect via higher-order multipoles excitation in a subwavelength high-index spherical dielectric resonator supporting electric and magnetic Mie multipoles. Thus, both types of antenna discussed here possess a coherent nature and can be used in modern intelligent antenna systems.

This paper presents a multiple-resonance technique that sought to achieve a wide bandwidth for printed wide-slot antennas with fork-shaped stubs. By properly appending an extra fork-shaped stub onto the main fork-shaped stub, the impedance bandwidth was able to be clearly broadened. To validate this technique, two designs where the extra stubs were added at different positions of the main stub were constructed. The measured impedance bandwidths of the proposed antennas reached 148.6% (0.9–6.1 GHz) for S11 < −10 dB, indicating a 17.9% wider bandwidth than that of the normal antenna (0.9–4.3 GHz). Moreover, a stable radiation pattern was observed within the operating frequency range. The proposed antennas were confirmed to be much-improved candidates for applications in various wireless communication systems.
