The aim of the study is to determine the influence of the thermal effect on dielectric losses in grain mass subject to bruising during drying and storage on the example of wheat across a wide external electric field frequency range. The study of the electrophysical characteristics of a dispersed medium comprising mechanically activated wheat grains takes into account the effect of the degree of breakage on the dielectric parameters of the studied medium. The studies were carried out on experimental samples having different degrees of mechanical activation of particles, which ranged in size from from 50 to 1000 μm. Variations in the dielectric loss tangent were studied using the dielectric method across a wide temperature-frequency range. Studies of variations in dielectric properties were carried out for wheat sam-ples subjected to grinding according to the mechanical activation method at temperatures varying from 20°C to 255°C with a constant heating rate of 0.7 deg / min. During the course of the experiment, the frequency of the external electric field was varied from 25 Hz to 1∙106 Hz. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent calculations were carried out using data on electrical capacity and conductivity obtained using an E7-20 immittance meter and a measuring cell in the form of a flat capacitor. An analysis of variations in these dielectric characteristics was also performed. The obtained stable correlation of the dielectric loss tangent with the frequency of external electric impact and the degree of heating of the samples was most pronounced for finely dispersed samples (particle size 50 μm). Variations in dielectric characteristics are most significant when the frequency decreases to 100 Hz and below. The study of variations in the main dielectric parameters can be used to prevent self-heating and ignition of the grain mass during storage, as well as for selecting the most efficient energy-saving drying mode.

In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna is designed to be used for X-band VSAT application at 7.5 GHz. The antenna is proposed to replace the massive and commonly used parabolic reflector antennas (46.0 inch × 29.3 inch × 13.5 inch (116.84 cm × 74.42 cm × 34.29 cm) with weight of 66.2 kg) in terms of portability due to its compact and lightweight features, with overall dimensions of 19.00 mm × 30.55 mm. The 7.5 GHz frequency is chosen based on the X-band frequency used in Malaysia, as reported by STRIDE. The microstrip patch antenna is first designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS) and exhibits a good return loss (S11) of -42.09 dB, a bandwidth of 399 MHz, directivity of 7.63 dB and gain of 7.18 dB. The antenna is then fabricated using RT/duroid ® High Frequency 5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of ?r = 2.2, loss tangent of ? = 0.0009 and thickness of t = 1.574 mm. Next, the return loss and radiation pattern measurements are carried out to confirm the simulated results. The measurement of the antenna prototype provides a return loss S11 of -30.53 dB, bandwidth of 455 MHz, directivity of 5.51 dB and gain of 3.88 dB.

Seterusnya, pengukuran kehilangan pulangan dan corak radiasi dilakukan untuk mengesahkan keputusan simulasi. Pengukuran prototaip antena jalurmikro menunjukkan kehilangan pulangan S11 -30.53 dB, lebar jalur 455 MHz, keterarahan 5.51 dB dan gandaan 3.88 dB.

This paper contains the results of measuring the electrical properties of mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) set. The conductivity and relative permittivity are the main parameters of dielectric material electrical properties. The electrical properties of mung beans samples had not been sufficiently measured, and the aim of this work was to perform the measurements of these properties. Measurements were performed under variable moisture content and the frequency of electric field from 0.1 kHz till 200 kHz for conductivity and in the range from 1 MHz to 16 MHz for relative permittivity, using RLC meter and Q meter, respectively. It was concluded that relative permittivity, and conductivity increased with increase of moisture content, resistivity, impedance, loss tangent, and relative permittivity decreased as the frequency of electric field increased, respectively.

The thickness and dielectric properties (dielectric constant and loss tangent) of fabric substrate play a key role in the design and properties of wearable antennas. Related research shows that a thicker substrate with a low dielectric constant and high loss tangent can enhance the bandwidth of antennas. Here, sewing multiple fabrics together was a good way to increase the thickness while maintaining flexibility, but it is hard to control the dielectric properties because of the lack of the relationship between the dielectric properties and that of the components. Although previous works have established the equivalent capacitance model of sewed multilayer fabric, they cannot obtain its dielectric properties completely. In this work, based on the circuit model proposed by Chin and Lee, the equivalent capacitance and resistance models of sewed multilayer fabric were established to predict its loss tangent. The sewed multilayer fabrics were fabricated and measured by split post dielectric resonator at 1.11 GHz to validate the model. From the comparison of the predicted and measured loss tangents of sewed multilayer fabrics, it was found that the predicted loss tangents agreed well with the experimental results. It is believed that the proposed model is beneficial to the rapid and rational configuration of the components for multilayer fabric according to thickness and dielectric properties of the components, and will provide a theoretical basis for the design of multilayer flexible electronic substrate.

The subject of the study were rubbers based on partially and fully hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubbers (HNBR) Therban АТ 5065 VP and Therban АТ 5005 VP, taken individually and in the ratios 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50 accordingly. The purpose of the work was to study the functional properties of rubbers based on HNBR of various degrees of unsaturation using modern methods of analysis. The degree of dispersion of the filler and the thermodynamic compatibility of polymer components in rubbers based on Therban АТ 5065 VP and Therban АТ 5005 VP mixtures are appreciated. Glass transition and decomposition temperatures, elastic modulus and mechanical loss tangent of HNBR-based and their combined compositions were identified. The microrelief of the surface of rubber samples based on HNBR, taken in different ratios, was investigated.

Abstract Nanocrystalline Cd substituted ZnO nanoparticles with common formula Zn (1-x) CdxO (x = 0%, 3%, 6%, and 10%) were fabricated by a co-precipitation technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the microstructures and morphology of synthesized nanoparticles at room temperature. The outcome of the x-ray diffraction (XRD) study supports the existence of wurtzite crystal structure for ZnO, and Cd substituted ZnO samples conformed that substituted Cd ions are catching up Zn site. The morphological assessments of the fabricated nanoparticles indicated that the nature of the nanoparticles is a slightly hexagonal and mostly spherical shape with size ranges 46-55 nm. The electric impedance of the samples was measured in a wide range of frequency 100Hz–2MHz at different temperatures (140 K-260 K) using an LCR meter. It was observed that the dielectric constants (ἐ), (ε´´), loss tangent (tanδ), and ac conductivity of pure and Cd substituted ZnO nanoparticles depended on frequency. The calculations of dielectric measurement showed that the parameters (ἐ), (ε´´), loss tangent (tanδ) decreased with the increase in frequency. But the ac conductivity enhanced with the frequency, whereas the values of the above parameters increased with the temperature rise. The dielectric parameters are also found to improve with the increase in Cd concentrations. The correlated barrier-hopping (CHB) model dominated in ac conductivity. The reduction in the bandgap was also observed with Cd concentration.

Ceramic materials were synthesized in the RO(R=Ba, Sr)–Al2O3–SiO2 system using exothermic synthesis from solutions containing barium and strontium nitrates, silica and organic reducing agents (glycine and carbamide). It was shown that only the use of a mixture of glycine and carbamide as well as the addition of ammonium nitrate allows carrying out a complete exothermic synthesis with the formation of an X-ray amorphous product with a small fraction of the crystalline phase. It was established that monophase materials based on barium and strontium aluminosilicates (BaAl2Si2O8 and SrAl2Si2O8) are formed when the obtained X-ray amorphous product is heat-treated at the temperatures above 10000C. Ceramics from synthesized materials sintered at 15500C has a high refractoriness, open porosity of 0–1.0%, compressive strength of 115–120 MPa; dielectric constant of 3.25–6.0 (at the frequency of 1 MHz) and the loss tangent of (1.5–5.2)10–3. The results shows that the exothermic synthesis ensures the preparation of nano- and sub-microcrystalline powders in the system RO(R=Ba, Sr)–Al2O3–SiO2. Materials based on the obtained aluminosilicates can be used in the manufacture of protective structures for devices operating in the radio frequency band, in radar installations of aviation and rocket technology, in microwave elements, etc.

In this paper, a lowpass filter is designed using half elliptical resonators with a wide stopband. New formulas are presented to achieve a circuit model for the half elliptical resonators used in this work. Additionally, the transfer function and transmission zero equations are used to adjust the frequency of the transmission zeros of the filter. The cut-off frequency of the lowpass filter is 1.26 GHz with a sufficiently large stopband, extending from 1.48 GHz to 20 GHz. The proposed filter’s figure of merit is 62,520, demonstrating its outperformance compared to the state of the art. The filter is implemented on a RT-5880 substrate with a constant dielectric of 2.2, thickness of 31 mil and loss tangent of 0.0009. The LPF was fabricated and tested, showing good agreement between the simulated and measured results.
