Novel miniaturized arrow linked figure of eight square loop FSS-based multiband linear-circular and linear-cross reflective microwave polarizer
This work demonstrates a novel, reflective-type, dual-polarized multiband polarization transformer for various C to Ku band applications. The design constitutes a top FSS printed on a thin FR-4 grounded dielectric substrate. A /-polarized incident wave experiences linear-circular conversion from 4.61 to 4.71 GHz (right-hand circular polarized (RHCP)/left-hand circular polarized (LHCP)), 5.44 to 7.
Broadband and compact folded substrate integrated waveguide phase shifter and its application to 180° directional coupler
In this paper, a broadband, low insertion loss, and compact folded substrate integrated waveguide (FSIW) phase shifter is proposed for the first time. By loading the complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) on the middle metal layer of the FSIW, a closed-type slow-wave transmission line (TL) is obtained, which can provide a wideband phase shift (39%) compared with the equal-length fast-wave one
A wideband metamaterial linear to linear conversion for X-band applications
This article presents wideband metamaterial cross-polarizer (MCP) structure for X-band applications. The proposed MCP consists of a splitted square-shaped resonating structure with two inner and one outer stub. It has an overall dimension of 8.6 mm × 8.6 mm. A wideband polarization conversion ratio (PCR) above 0.87 magnitude is achieved with a bandwidth of 3.49 GHz ranging from 8.8 to 12.29 GHz, w
A compact ultrawideband slotted patch antenna for early stage breast tumor detection applications
This paper presents a compact ultrawideband slotted patch antenna for early stage tumor detection applications using microwave breast imaging systems. In order to reduce any reflections between the antenna and breast, the antenna is designed and optimized inside a coupling medium with electrical properties similar to that of normal breast tissue as a coupling medium. The wideband performance of th
A self-biased GaN LNA with 30 dB gain and 21 dBm for 5G communications
We present a self-biased three-stage GaN-based monolithic microwave integrated circuit low-noise amplifier (LNA) operating between 26 and 29 GHz for 5G mobile communications. The self-biasing circuit, common-source topology with inductive source feedback, and RLC negative feedback loops between gate and drain of the third transistor were implemented to achieve low noise, good port match, high stab
Low profile multi-polarization diversity UWB antenna for body centric communications
A low-profile multi-polarized MIMO ultra-wideband antenna suitable for body-centric communications is reported. MIMO configuration is achieved using the symmetric heptagonal monopole (SHM) antenna, a mirrored SHM antenna, an asymmetric ruby-shaped monopole (ARSM) antenna, and a mirrored ARSM antenna placed over the modified C-shaped ground plane (MCGP). The proposed antenna elements are designed t
A wideband decoupling method using bezel-coupled loop-type isolator for smartwatch MIMO applications
This paper presents a novel decoupling technique for two-element multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) antennas for smartwatch applications with floating metallic bezel. The radiating elements consist of embedded loop-type ground-radiation antennas and operate at the 2.45 GHz Bluetooth/Wi-Fi bands. An isolator, consisting of a loop-type structure with a lumped capacitor, is attached externally to the gr

This research reports a four-port multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna designed for 5G-NR band applications including n77: 3.30?4.20 GHz, n78: 3.30?3.80 GHz, and n79: 4.40?5.00 GHz. The proposed design is analyzed in two parts, one single-element asymmetrical fed Calendula flower-shaped antenna and the other four-port modified MIMO antenna with the connected ground.

Broadbanding and multi-frequency in dielectric resonator antennas: a comprehensive review
Dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) are developed antennas that are lightweight, wideband, small-sized and have high radiation efficiency. A DRA is an appropriate candidate for any radio communication including radar applications mainly because of its high efficiency and wideband performance. As the development of DRAs has been a continuous process for more than five decades the plethora of the s
