This paper presents a switched-beam antenna using circumferential-slot on a concentric sectoral cylindrical cavity excited by coupling slots to operate at 5.8 GHz. The advantages of this antenna are conformal structure, high directivity and capable of switched-beam pattern in six directions. The antenna design starts from a single sector which is capable of switching between radiating and non-r...

In this article the effects of different engineering parameters of rf-driven ion sources with an external spiral antenna and a quartz rf window are studied. This article consists of three main topics: the effect of source geometry on the operation gas pressure, the effect of source materials and magnetic confinement on extracted current density and ion species, and the effect of different anten...

This paper presents a new design of conformal microstrip antenna operating in dual-band for several applications including Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Wi-Fi networks, and Body (WBAN). The proposed was achieved using the stacked patch technique on antenna. One patches is square-shaped other triangular-shaped constructed cylindrical surface with 50 mm radius substrate permittivity 2.98. ...

Let A be a set of trivariate irreducible integral polynomials and let D be an A-invariant cylindrical algebraic decomposition (cad) of three-dimensional space. This paper presents a new algorithm for determining the interstack adjacencies in D over a given non-nullifying (for A) 0-cell, 1-cell adjacency in the cad D 0 of the plane induced by D. We show that this new adjacency algorithm for thre...

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...

Extremely small aperture radial line slot antennas (RLSAs) are analyzed by method of moments. At first, the analysis model of cylindrical waveguide in terms of rectangular cavity modes is confirmed for a RLSA with a spiral slot arrangement. The overall VSWR as well as rotational symmetry of the actual structure of RLSAs is predicted for the first time and is confirmed experimentally. Secondly, ...
