IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters
A dual-band circularly polarized highly efficient antenna for wireless power transfer applications in implanted devices is presented. Based on modified square patch in microstrip technology of low profile and weight, the model presents operation in the frequency bands 915 MHz and 2.45 GHz. A study of the geometry is carried out to adjust the operating ranges of circular polarization in both frequencies, considering the environment with dispersive tissues. The proposed antenna exhibits improved efficient values compared to those of works reported in the literature, between 0.57 and 1.12%. The investigation of the specific absorption rate (SAR) and the operating power capacity is carried out. A prototype is fabricated and measured to validate the proposed design.

Adaildo Gomes d’AssunçãoWith the increasing use of traditional and new models of wireless communication systems, the study and determination of the electrical characteristics of materials used in civil construction is an important topic to establish an understanding of how the radio frequency signal behaves inside built environments. This study presents an extensive process of characterization of electrical parameters of plaster blocks used in the construction of walls. Different from the literature where a prior estimation of the data occurs to enable sampling parameters to be obtained, this work proposes an innovative way of obtaining them entirely based on the analysis of the material through frequency measurements, which results in a greater level of precision of the data results. Analyses are made in the frequency range from 0.7 to 5.2 GHz, which has been used for several wireless communication standards. To carry out the electrical characterization of dielectric materials, a non-invasive methodology is proposed based on an innovative combination of the Nicolson–Ross–Weir Method (NRW) and the Ray Tracing Method. Through the proposed methodology and an extensive campaign of measurements using frequency scanning equipment, calculated and experimental data of Shielding Effectiveness (SE), complex relative electrical permittivity, loss tangent, attenuation coefficient and conductivity were obtained for a wide range of frequency, considering different samples of plaster blocks. The obtained results are compared to those available in the related literature, confirming the accuracy of the proposed analysis.

This work presents the development of a bandstop filter with a tunable response. Varactor diodes are used as control elements. Studies and investigations demonstrate the influence of the variable capacitance on the input admittance and on the S-parameters frequency responses of the proposed square-ring resonator geometry. The design of the square-ring resonator is based on mathematical modeling of ideal transmission lines, considering parameters of characteristic admittance and electrical length for odd and even excitation modes. Based on S-parameters in ports, an equivalent circuit model of the resonator geometry is presented. The corresponding results are compared with numerical simulations. Comparative analyses are presented in order to guide the process of optimizing the physical dimensions of the layout. A prototype with dimension 0.0272 λg2 was designed, fabricated, and tested. As a measured result, a filter with two rejection bands was obtained, the first at 0.6–1.15 GHz and the second at 1.71–2.28 GHz, with 63.0 and 29.0% tuning range, respectively. In comparison with bandstop filters from the literature, the proposed reconfigurable filter presents a larger tuning range for the first band, sufficient inband rejection levels for several applications, and reduced physical dimensions. The proposed configuration is an attractive reconfigurable filtering device for use in modern communication systems operating below 3.0 GHz.

... In recent years, the rapid development of accessible wireless communication demanded consistently high data rates and quality of service. 1 Wireless cellular (4G) systems are upgraded to support high data transfer rates. 2 The 5th generation (5G) networks have been developed to address these issues and offer several benefits, including extremely high data rates, less latency, low multipath fading, outstanding reliability, and more channel capacity. 3 There needs to be more than one antenna to provide the abovementioned number of benefits in 5G. Hence, multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology has a lot of attention with the advancement of wireless 5G technology because of its outstanding capacity to increase data rates and channel capacity. 4 The design challenges of the MIMO antenna require compact size; the mutual coupling has to be less than −15 dB and satisfies performance metrics. ...

Several types of dual-mode resonators in the form of coupled-line structures with stubs [5][6][7][8][9], loop [10][11][12], ring [13,14], and patch [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] have been explored in the literature and also widely applied in BPF designs. Though reasonable filter performance can be realized in [5,6] and [8,9], the resultant structure is fairly large. ...

... A set of unsymmetrical dual-feed antennas with two isolated ports and a single shared radiator are reported in [9]. MIMO antenna layout uses a T-shaped monopole as the first element and a square patch as the second element to effectively reduce the mutual coupling [10]. Moreover, to increase the system variety and assure the operation across desired lower UWB range, the MIMO system utilizes two distinct antenna elements. ...

... The emergence of metamaterials with different resonator unit shapes has played a great role in reducing the complexity incurred due to the addition of extra structures, thus improving the performance of the antenna [26,27]. Metasurface structures are typically two-dimensional arrays of small scatters or apertures that are geometrically arranged in order to achieve some desirable electromagnetic behavior [28][29][30][31]. Metasurface structures such as frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) have been widely used to improve the low gain and narrow bandwidth performance of planar antennas owing to their low cost and small profile, in addition to their immense transmission and reflection potentials [32][33][34]. ...
