Crossed-field space-charge limited current (CF-SCLC) represents the maximum stable that can be produced in crossed-field devices (CFDs); prominent CFDs include magnetrons and cyclotrons, critical technologies vacuum electronics. While planar geometries have most developed theoretical models, cylindrical are far more common useful practical applications. characterized by strength of externally a...

A detailed knowledge of the beam coupling impedance of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is required in order to operate this machine with a higher intensity for the foreseen Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity upgrade. A large number of Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) is currently installed in the SPS, and this is why their contribution to the SPS impedance has to be assessed. This pape...

This paper presents a new monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) based on coplanar waveguide (CPW) design for a tunable resonator based on RF MEMS. This RF structure, which can be used for system on chip (SOC), is constituted with MEMS Bridge placed between two meander inductors and the tenability is controlled by a variable applied DC voltage. Moreover, this device presents a compactne...

This paper presents the aspects related to the design and development of a tapered spiral helix antenna covering the frequency range 1.2-18GHz. It is a compact stateof-the-art circularly polarized antenna, which works over multi-octave frequency bandwidth (1.2-18 GHz).The antenna size has been reduced by 50 percent with respect to conventional spiral antenna used for same frequency band. Spiral...

Due to high demand of using cordless mobile device, the interest in wireless energy transfer (WET) has been growth intensively. This paper presented a method to obtained optimum transmitter receiver ratio for maximum performance of WET system using different initial antenna size at various distance. An optimized algorithm has been developed to determine the optimum ratios that yield the highest...

In this paper, a multi resonant MPA capable of operating satisfactorily in the frequency range of 2.39 GHz to 5.79 GHz have been proposed. The antenna has been designed using substrate of FR4 material having dielectric constant of 4.4 with a conducting radiating patch on the substrate and a conducting ground plane on the bottom side of substrate. The ground plane has been partially reduced to i...

Microstrip fed inset patch antennas embedded in planar and cylindrically curved surfaces are introduced to be used in Body Area Networks (BANs) presented. These antennas are designed as wearable antennas for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band wireless communication networking. The proposed antennas consist of 50 Ω microstrip line feeding inset patch printed on the front face of diele...

A dual microstrip meander slot antenna is presented for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. The proposed antenna comprises a rectangular microstrip patch element embedded with two meander slots. The parametric study is performed to investigate the characteristics of microstrip patch antenna with double meandered slots compared to one without any meander slot. Microstrip patch antenn...

In this paper, a cruciform coupler with half mode substrate integrated waveguide structure is presented. The prototype coupler consists of four half mode SIW structures crossing each other in right angle and two metallic posts are inserted in free section of junction in order to reach the coupling properties. Compact size and broadband operation are the features of this coupler. The size of cou...

Received Feb 15, 2017 Revised Apr 22, 2017 Accepted May 7, 2017 This paper proposes metamaterial (MTM) inspired frequency reconfigurable antenna based on thecircular electric field coupled (ELC) resonator. It is composed of circular shape ELC resonator with the radius size of 7 mm. By inserting two switches between the gaps at both side of the circular ELC resonator, it is possible to switch ON...
