In this work, a passive ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification UHF-RFID tag based on a 1.25 wavelengths thin dipole antenna is presented for the first time. The length of the antenna is properly chosen in order to maximize the tag read range, while maintaining a reasonable tag size and radiation pattern. The antenna is matched to the RFID chip by means of a very simple matching net...

This paper introduces the FLOSS Free Libre Open Source Software [VEMSA3D], a contraction of "Visual Electromagnetic Simulator for 3D Antennas", which are geometrically modeled, either exactly or approximately, as thin wire polygonal structures; presents its GUI Graphical User Interface capabilities, in interactive mode and/or in handling suitable formed antenna data files; demonstrates the effe...

We investigate the evolution of the interaction of the magnetoplasmon resonance with the harmonics of the cyclotron resonance as the confinement of an electron gas in a quantum wire increasingly deviates from the parabolic case. The occurrence of the Bernstein modes is observed in a time-dependent Hartree model of a two-dimensional electron gas in a single quantum wire.

We analyze the excitons states in a quantum wire under intense laser radiation. Electrons and holes are confined by the parabolic potential of the quantum wire. An exactly solvable model is introduced for calculating the exciton binding energy, replacing the actual Coulomb interaction between the electron and the hole by a projective operator.

PURPOSE To develop a technique for intravascular magnetic resonance (MR)-guided balloon angioplasty with use of an MR imaging guide wire. MATERIALS AND METHODS An MR imaging guide wire (0.6-mm loopless antenna) that could be placed within a balloon catheter was manufactured. The guide wire was expected to function as either an MR receiver probe in real-time MR imaging or a guide wire for use ...

An automated and highly accurate system for “mapping” 5 cm-diameter beam position monitors (BPMs) used in the Low Energy Demonstrator Accelerator (LEDA) at Los Alamos is described. Two-dimensional data is accumulated from the four micro-stripline electrodes in the probe by sweeping an antenna driven at the LEDA bunching frequency of 350 MHz in discrete steps across the aperture. These data are ...

This paper presents a wireless smart sensor (WSS) with a thermoelectric sensor, a wireless transmitter and a small spiral antenna on a single package. To transmit a sensor signal, the wireless transmitter was designed to consist of an amplifier, a modulator, an oscillator, a buffer stage and an antenna. The wireless transmitter used dual pulse position modulation for low-power transmission. The...

in this paper a new low profile substrate integrated waveguide (siw) probe-fed h-plane horn antenna structure with improved gain is proposed. the proposed antenna consists of two waveguides including a rectangular and a taper one, in which both, first and third modes of the structure are simultaneously excited leading to a uniform field distribution along the radiating aperture of the antenna a...

Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) is a population based algorithm which has shown impressive performance over other Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). BBO algorithm is based on the study of distribution of biological organisms over space and time. YagiUda antenna design is most widely used antenna at VHF and UHF frequencies due to high gain, directivity and ease of construction. However, design...

With the advance of wireless communication systems and increasing importance of other wireless applications, wideband and low profile antennas are in great demand for both commercial and military applications. Multi-band and wideband antennas are desirable in personal communication systems, small satellite communication terminals, and other wireless applications. Wideband antennas also find app...
