Abstract

Microwave is the most popular sensor in industrial applications for detecting material characterization. Over the past decade, microwave sensor is high demand, especially in medical for detecting cancer in the human body, agriculture for detecting moisture of soil, and freshness in the food industry. The previous study has shown that the high demands of the microwave sensor in industrial applications make researchers always think of new ideas to design microwave sensors to improves accuracy and sensitivity. This paper reviews an investigation of material characterization of recent developments of a planar sensor for various contaminants and parameter value of solid, liquid, and powder as material under test (MUT). Planar resonator sensor enhances the weakness of conventional sensors in bulky size, required a large volume of samples, and high cost. This planar sensor will differentiate MUT properties based on scattering parameters at various operating frequencies. The framework presented in this review paper includes new developments in resonator structure as well as advanced design of potential future research work. Previous studies will be objectively analysed and compared in order to gain a better understanding of microwave resonant sensors and to develop innovative concepts to further enhance application research involving material characterization.

Abstract

A design of novel bendable Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) structures has been presented in this paper in two selected of frequencies at 5G application. These designs started with a square patch shape and continued with the combination of circular and Jerusalem shape which resonate at a frequency of 18 GHz and 28 GHz. Details of the theory and the structures of AMCs are explained. The reflection phase, bandwidth, angular stability and dispersion diagram were studied. The simulated results plotted that the novel AMC has good bandwidth and size is reduced by 53 percent and 55 percent for both frequencies. Other than that, it is also proved that the novel AMC has a stable reflection phase and no band gap performs at the specific frequency. The good performances of this novel AMC make it useful in order to improve antenna’s performance.

Abstract

This paper presents the design of wide-band bandpass filter using microstrip structure at 3-6GHz with fractional bandwidth of 66.67% based upon short-circuited stubs structure of 5th degree. In order to avoid the interference from existing system that operates in the frequency band, the folded stepped impedance resonator (SIR) was introduced to generate a narrow notch band at 5.2GHz. Pin diode is employ as switching mechanism for the notch response. This design is simulated by Advance Design System (ADS) software and using Roger Duroid 4350B with a dielectric constant of 3.48, substrate thickness 0.508mm and loss tangent 0.0019.The achieved return loss is better than 15dB and insertion loss is less than 1dB.The designed filter can be used in microwave communication systems such as wireless communication devices and military applications (radar system).

Abstract

This paper presents a single port rectangular ring resonator sensor for material characterizations. The proposed sensor is designed at operating resonance frequency of 4 GHz. The sensor consists of micro-strip transmission line and ring resonator with applying the enhancement method to the coupling gaps. The using of enhancement method is to improve the return loss of the sensor and sensitivity in terms of Q-factor, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed sensor is designed and fabricated on Roger 5880 substrate. Standard materials with known permittivity have been used in order to validate the sensor’s sensitivity. Based on the results, the percentage of error for the proposed rectangular sensor is 0.2% to 8%. It can be demonstrated that the proposed sensor will be useful for various applications such as medicine, bio-sensing and food industry.

Abstract

The small-sized wideband antenna is one of the antennas used in the medical field to detect body tissue. The antenna's direct contact with the human body causes reflected signal due to the high body coupling, and the narrower bandwidth tends to reduce the data transfer rate in transmission. Therefore, this paper aims to design a wideband antenna with wearable properties operated in the frequency range of 3 GHz to 6 GHz. The antenna is designed with a rectangular-shaped patch with notches and the t-slot shaped partial slot ground. The connected speech test (CST) studio suite software is used to design and optimize the miniature antenna, which measures 24 mm (W) x 38 mm (L) x 0.168 mm (H). The antenna is then embedded with polydimethylsilixane (PDMS) at the top half of the antenna with the dimension 24 mm (W) x 19 mm (L) x 1 mm (H) and also fully occupied. The antenna is configured with the bending capabilities to adapt the human body surface at an angle of 30º. The antenna is having the benefits of small size, cost-effective, and easy to fabricate. The antenna design can effectively detect unusual body tissue, and it safe to be used.

Abstract

In the area of wearable technology an enhancement of basic microstrip antenna is evolution of wearable textile antenna. A major requirement for wearable textile antenna is its flexible designed materials which incoprates of fabric in the structure. The parameters obtained from the wearable textile antenna are return loss (S-11), directivity, gain, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) as well as the specific absorption rate (SAR) value. All these parameters are mostly influenced by the value of substrate dielectric constant and its thickness. In this paper, the design of wearable dual band frequency microstrip antenna is presented for wireless communication services. When the federal communication commission (FSS) has allowed the operation of unlicensed ultra-wideband (UWB) thus it attracted research interest in realizing UWB antennas for wireless applications. The operating frequency of the proposed antenna ranges from 2.85 GHz to 7.3 GHz. For body-worn and wearable applications, the antenna is embedded on selected textiles (i.e. felt, denim, polyester and leather). The prorposed microstrip antenna is designed, simulated and analysed in computer simulation technology (CST) microwave studio.

Abstract

This paper presents a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch that is integrated with a thin rectangular patch switchable defected ground structure (DGS). It is a novel technology for obtaining wideband and high isolation for the SPDT switch in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) telecommunications due to the usage of switchable DGS with bandstop and bandwidth enhancement capabilities. A wideband and high isolation are required for the switchable DGS SPDT switch to operate optimally in mm-wave frequency ranges, as well as to reduce the effect of leakage signal on both the transmitter and receiver connected to the SPDT switch and hence improve system efficiency and signal integrity. The SPDT switch design was combined with two small rectangular patches switchable DGSs that could switch between bandstop and allpass responses using biasing diodes on the DGS. As a result, the suggested SPDT switch with the switchable DGS had 6 dB of insertion loss and high isolation of more than 25 dB with wideband isolation of 25.24% fractional bandwidth, which was consistent with the simulation results. Furthermore, the isolation magnitude is doubled compared to the conventional SPDT switch. This work demonstrates that integrating switchable DGS into discrete SPDT switches provides a practical solution for realizing wideband, high-isolation performance suitable for 5G mm-wave where compactness and bidirectional reconfigurability is increasingly essential for sustainable RF front-end systems.
