Scattering matrix solution for an ideal star-junction multiplexer based on ladder-type filters
Multiplexer design is a challenging task due to the high number of variables involved, raising the difficulty as the numbers of filters increase. Numerical computing tools provide a suitable environment to evaluate topologies and technologies before starting the long journey to the device. A direct scattering matrix solution for a star-junction multiplexer, based on the circuit theory, is presente
A highly efficient GHz switching GaN-based synchronous buck converter module
The paper presents a highly efficient GaN-based synchronous buck converter suitable for switching in the lower GHz range. The module includes a very compact 2-stage GaN half-bridge converter MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) for low parasitic inductances between switches and drivers and a hybrid output network with core-less inductors to avoid ferrite losses. At 1 GHz switching freque
A rectangular slot antenna with perfectly conducting superstrate and reflector sheets for superior radiation in the 6?9 GHz band
This paper presents the design and analysis of a rectangular slot antenna for producing a directional radiation pattern over a wide bandwidth of 6?9 GHz. A basic wideband slot antenna is designed for the desired frequency band by microstrip offset feed technique. This antenna is then loaded with a superstrate and a reflector, both made of conducting sheets. Analogous to a three-element Yagi antenn
Complementary Sierpinski Knopp fractal antenna for emergency management system
In this paper, the design and analysis of a complementary Sierpinski Knopp fractal antenna are presented. It is realized by applying the Sierpinski Knopp space-filling curve on the basic square monopole antenna. The performance metrics of the antenna such as (reflection coefficient), voltage standing wave ratio, radiation pattern, gain and current distribution at resonant frequencies are analyzed
A compact wideband circularly polarized quadrifilar antenna with PIFA elements for UHF RFID readers
In this paper, a compact circularly polarized quadrifilar antenna with planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) elements is presented. The proposed antenna consists of four PIFA elements and a Wilkinson divider-based feed network fabricated on FR-4 substrate ( = 4.4, loss tangent = 0.02, thickness = 1.6 mm). The total size of the antenna is 120 × 120 × 13.2 mm. Impedance matching with a reflection coeffic

Investigation on the scattering characteristics and unsupervised clustering of 3D printed samples
In this work, the scattering characteristics of 3D-printed samples are being investigated by using a single-polarized and a cross-polarized radar system. The 3D-printed technology participates in a wide range of applications nowadays. The idea of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been utilized to investigate the reflected electromagnetic energy from the 3D-printed samples by setting each of the r
Drop deformation estimate with multi-polarization radar
This paper considers the ability of polarization measurements for microwave remote sensing of clouds and precipitation. The simulation of reflections from liquid hydrometeors with a multi-polarization radar system is presented. The mathematical expression of energy received by a radar antenna with arbitrary polarization is obtained. The simulation of the energy redistribution of the signal reflect
