This letter presents the design and measurement of an antenna integrated into an agricultural sensor network node operating on the 2.4-GHz ISM band using the ZigBee protocol stack. The novel structure, coined bowtie-shaped folded dipole (BSFD), has a diffe ...
CubeSats are a type of small satellites (< 500 kg) that weigh several kilograms and consist of multiple Units (U) measuring 100 × 100 × 113.5 mm3. CubeSats emerged as a low-cost alternative to conventional large satellites, and have since demonstrated capa ...
An alternative method based on time reversal to locate solid faults in transmission line networks was recently proposed by Codino et al. in the paper “An alternative method for locating faults in transmission line networks based on time reversal” (IEEE Tra ...
This work presents a low cost and wire-bonded active phase shifter chip to RF circuitry on PCB board packaging for implementing a two-element phased array antenna at 77 GHz. The 1.5 mm × 1.1 mm chip is embedded in RO3003 PCB board and its GSG ports are wir ...
This paper presents the design and development of a coplanar capacitive proximity sensor for the detection of the gap between the edges of dielectric foils. The finite element analysis is applied to study the design of the sensor by investigating the effec ...
The CubeSat nanosatellite standard puts strict limitations on the antenna volume, resulting in a low impedance and axial-ratio (AR) bandwidths of patch antennas. The AR of a circularly polarized patch antenna can be improved with the introduction of a dedi ...
The present thesis deals with the design of a planar antenna array for the communication between a civil aircraft (Dassault's Falcon) and an Inmarsat satellite. The final goal is to provide high speed Internet access in X/Ku-Band (8-12GHz / 12-18GHz), and ...
The aim of this contribution is to assess the potential of using various microstrip radiating elements excited with different modes to achieve wide pattern beamwidths. The proposed antenna is made in classic microstrip technology and consists of a circular ...

An accurate material characterization method for microwave printed-circuit-board substrates is proposed by combining the microwave ring resonator method with iterative full-wave simulations. A detailed error analysis is performed quantitatively to compensa ...
Folded substrate integrated waveguide (FSIW) has been proposed for further size reduction, while keeping the advantages of traditional SIW. FSIW-based horn antennas are very promising in millimeter wave applications. To improve the bandwidth and efficiency ...
