3D-printed Ka-band Antenna Based on Stereolithography

Juan Ramon Mosig, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

This paper presents a circularly-polarized dual-band antenna for Ka-band satellite communications which operates simultaneously in both civil and military downlink (17.7-21.2 GHz) and uplink (27.5-31 GHz) bands. The antenna is composed of a metallic ridged ...

Electromagnetic, complex image model of a large area RF resonant antenna as inductive plasma source

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier

A large area antenna generates a plasma by both inductive and capacitive coupling; it is an electromagnetically coupled plasma source. In this work, experiments on a large area planar RF antenna source are interpreted in terms of a multi-conductor transmis ...

Lens-based Ka-band antenna system using planar feed

Juan Ramon Mosig, Marc Esquius Morote, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

This paper presents a simple, low-cost and compact mobile ground terminal antenna for Ka-band satellite communications that operates in the downlink band (19.7-20.2 GHz). The antenna is composed of a shaped dielectric lens which tilts in front of a planar ...

System fidelity factor evaluation of wearable ultra-wideband antennas for on-body communications

Anja Skrivervik, Mohsen Koohestani

This study reports an experimental study of the system fidelity factor (SFF) of ultra-wideband wireless body area network antennas in an on-body environment. This study also investigates the influence in the SFF because of the antenna polarisation with res ...

Controlling Scattering and Absorption With Metamaterial Covers

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

We discuss the use of metasurfaces and plasmonic metamaterials to minimize the scattering from receiving antennas and sensors, with the goal of maximizing their absorption efficiency. We first analytically study and highlight the potential of these approac ...
