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 ...

Design of novel radiating elements for SATCOM phased arrays in Ku-Band

Baptiste Fernand Hornecker

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 ...

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 ...

Adaptive Millimeter-Wave and THz Antenna Devices Based on Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Pietro Romano

Dynamic reconfiguration of antenna devices is becoming a prime need in emerging telecommunication and remote sensing systems operating in the portion of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum spanning from millimeter-wave (MMW) to terahertz. Different technique ...

Bandwidth enhancement of a wearable UWB antenna near a human arm

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires, Mohsen Koohestani

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 ...

Soft and Flexible Antennas on Permittivity Adjustable PDMS Substrates

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Jovanche Trajkovikj

This work presents novel techniques for producing substrates for flexible antennas. The technique we propose is based on the use of an already existing and widely used substrate material Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), where the dielectric properties of the s ...
