This paper presents the design, manufacture and test of a low-cost reflectarray antenna that provides a sectored-cosecant squared beam. The bandwidth limitation of single-layer reflectarrays is overcome by using three parallel dipoles in each cell. First, ...

We report transport measurements on a Si/SiGe quantum dot subject to microwave excitation via an on-chip antenna. The response shows signatures of photon-assisted tunneling and only a small effect on charge stability. We also explore the use of a d.c. curr ...
A dielectric sandwich loading technique is proposed to enhance impedance matching bandwidth of an antenna when it is placed close to the human body. This technique mitigates the body influence by confining the reactive fields in the dielectric loads. This ...
Fabry-Perot (FP) cavities having at least one partially reflective surface are widely used as compact and efficient high-directivity radiators. However, they inherently suffer from very narrow directivity bandwidths around the FP resonance. Here it is show ...
A discussion on the main challenges designing efficient antennas for bio-implantable communication devices is presented, along with some of the main issues encountered in their characterization. Such devices are used in conjunction with health monitoring o ...
This paper presents a coplanar-fed antenna designed to operate close to the human body in the 2.45 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band. The antenna matching is studied in free space and in body proximity. Two models of the human arm, with flat and ...
We analyze the constraints governing absorption and scattering of arbitrary sensors or receiving antennas. Our findings bring forward interesting physical limitations on the amount of accessible absorption in a low-scattering sensor and suggest practical w ...
A new low profile ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for wearable applications is presented. Its structure is derived from the quadripod kettle antenna (QKA) [1], and is called tripod kettle antenna (TKA). The proposed antenna is very well suited for wearable ap ...
Surface plasmons are able to generate extremely strong and confined optical fields at a deep-subwavelength scale, far beyond the diffraction limit, and now play a central role in nanosciences. A proper combination of plasmonic nanostructures can support Fa ...
This paper presents a study on the radiation efficiency of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antennas. Measurement were made using a cavity-based method with source stirring. A novel post-processing filtering technique of the measured data is introduced. The approach w ...
