Antenna Characteristics

In this paper, three antennas with different designs, which are square, circle and edgy patch (flower) were simulated and fabricated. The experiment was carried out to study the effects of bending on these three different shapes of antennas. Two bending conditions which are H-plane and E-plane were used. The antenna was designed to resonate at 1.575 GHz for GPS application and to be incorporated with human arm. Thus, the bending angle was specified to be 135o which is about the size of a typical human arm. As the paper focusing on the bending effects only, the characteristic of the bending structure was set to be equal to the air, with Ɛr=1. The antenna characteristics such as gain, resonant frequency and radiation pattern were analyzed for these three shapes of antennas. As a result, the shape of the radiating patch has significant impact on the antenna performance under bending conditions. Based on the comparison of E-plane and H-plane data, the edgy shape was found to be more affected in term of gain performance as compared to other shapes. Bending on E-plane has shown severe degradation in antenna gain performance, whereby at H-plane, significant improvement in gain was observed

In modern aircraft designs, following the More Electrical Aircraft (MEA) philosophy, there is a growing need for new high-power converters. In this context, innovative solutions to provide high efficiency and power density are required. This paper proposes an unregulated LLC full-bridge operating at resonant frequency to obtain a constant gain at all loads. The first harmonic approximation (FHA) model is not accurate enough to estimate the voltage gain in converters with high parasitic resistance. A modified FHA model is proposed for voltage gain analysis, and time-based models are used to calculate the instantaneous current required for the ZVS transition analysis. A method using charge instead of current is proposed and used for this ZVS analysis. Using this method, an auxiliary circuit is proposed to achieve complete ZVS within the whole load range, avoiding a gapped transformer design and increasing the efficiency and power density. A 28 Vdc output voltage prototype, with 10 kW peak output power, has been developed to validate the theoretical analysis and the proposed auxiliary circuit. The maximum efficiency (96.3%) is achieved at the nominal power of 5 kW.

AbstractSmartdielectric resonator antenna (DRA) having beam control mechanism is anew area to be explored by antenna researchers. Proposed new geometry DRA has low loss, design flexibility, high efficiency, compact size and desired radiated beam control. Developing beam control in new geometry DRAs is investigated for the first time in this letter. Unique technique for beam control and beam width control is proposed using pit top and mount top DRA. Gain is controlled from 5.0 to 9.98 dBi and beam is controlled from ±30° to ±70° in broadside radiation pattern. U shape pit DRA has maximum directive gain of 9.98 dBi and efficiency 98% at 5.8 GHz frequency. Measured and simulated results of radiation pattern and reflection coefficient are found to be in close proximity. Hardware of U shape pit top DRA, mount top DRA, left side arc top DRA, right side arc shape top DRA is developed and investigated. Mobile and cellular communication network need wide coverage, hence large beam width is required. Narrowing of beam width at higher order mode is also achieved.

Organic coverlays are required to protect microstrip circuits in most applications. The presence of coverlay can potentially influence the performance of microstrip antennas. This paper describes the qualification of polyimide based coverlays for microstrip antennas both in 900 MHz and 2.50 GHz frequency bands. An Inverted F-shaped antenna fabricated on FR-4 dielectric is used as the test vehicle and two different coverlay materials are tested with respect to key parameters like resonant frequency, S11 bandwidth, antenna gain, frequency detuning, and radiation pattern. The data presented in this paper clearly indicates polyimide materials are well suited to cover microstrip antenna circuits with minimal impact on performance.

Resonant Characteristic

Over recent years, there has been an explosive growth of interest in the development of flexible wearable antennas due to rapid growth in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. However, the antenna is subjected to deformation when being worn by users. Therefore, it is compulsory to analyze the absorption of electromagnetic (EM) radiation and the antenna performances as a function of the deformation conditions since the antenna is not in its normal flat conditions anymore. In this paper, two types of deformations; bending and crumpling are analyzed by means of CST Microwave Studio. The peak SAR10g demonstrates increment up to 65.7 % and 48.7 % under bending and crumpling deformation respectively. Moreover, the crumpling is more sensitive to the geometrical shape and composition of the exposed body area if compared to bending. Moreover, the detuning effects of the resonant frequency are more significant for crumpling cases.
