Characteristic Modes Approach to Design Compact Superdirective Array With Enhanced Bandwidth

Compact silicon multimode waveguide spectrometer with enhanced bandwidth

Compact, broadband, and high-resolution spectrometers are appealing for sensing applications, but difficult to fabricate. Here we show using calibration data a spectrometer based on a multimode waveguide with 2 GHz resolution, 250 GHz bandwidth, and a 1.6 mm × 2.1 mm footprint. Typically, such spectrometers have a bandwidth limited by the number of modes supported by the waveguide. In this case...

Compact Array Antenna: Omni-, Sector, and Adaptive Modes of Compact Array Antenna

Three working modes, omni-, sector and adaptive modes, for a compact array antenna are introduced. The compact array antenna is an electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (Espar) antenna, which has only a single-port output, and carries out signal combination in space by electromagnetic mutual coupling among array elements. These features of the antenna significantly reduce its cost, ...

Circularly Polarized Patch Array Antenna with Enhanced Isolation Characteristic

The design of an integrated rectangular microstrip patch array antenna with enhanced isolation characteristic between transmitter and receiver is presented to produce a full-duplex transceiver with transmit and receive operation at the same frequency and with the same polarization. This integrated circulator-like antenna has potential uses in both short-range communication systems and radar.

Design of the Compact Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Antenna Bandwidth Optimization Using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

In this paper a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented to design a compact stepped triangle shape antenna in order to obtain the proper UWB bandwidth as defined by FCC. By changing the various cavity dimensions of the antenna, data to develop PSO program in MATLAB is achieved. The results obtained from the PSO algorithm are applied to the antenna design to fine-tune the bandwi...
