Abstract

This paper presents a Band-pass Filter (BPF) with a very wide suppressions band. The filter design is based on a modified U-shaped slot. Two pair of U-shaped slots is used to ensure that the filter can suppress the unwanted frequencies up to 4th harmonics. In order to achieve sharp skirt, two transmission zeroes are created near the passband area. Additional transmission zeroes are introduced to deepen the stopband area. Therefore, the passband range starts from 1.3 to 3.3 GHz and the stopband range from 3.3 GHz up to 9 GHz are achieved. The filter performances are verified through simulated and measured results.

Abstract

In this paper, a compact triband printed antenna with hexagonal complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) for 4G applications is proposed. The proposed multiband antenna is comprised of a rectangular patch antenna on the top plane, while on the ground plane, hexagonal CSRRs are etched for size miniaturization (at the lower bands) and multiband generation. Another effect of the CSRR is the shifting of the initial resonance of the patch antenna from 5.17 GHz to the higher band of 6.18 GHz. The triband of 180 MHz 2.4~2.59, 150 MHz 2.79~2.94 and 420 MHz 6.04~6.46 GHz bands acquired can cover WLAN/Wi-Fi and WiMAX operating bands adequately. This can be achieved by choosing the optimal size and position of the CSRR on the ground plane carefully. The design occupies a total size of 45 x 45 mm2 using the low-cost FR-4 substrate. Good agreements are obtained between the measured results and the simulated, which are discussed and presented.

Abstract

This paper presents a study of bending a metamaterial based absorber. The study of bending is important for textile material since it can be easily crumpled. The basic absorber that is simulated for the study is an annulled circle as the top patch, and metal ground plane that sandwich a textile-based substrate. The center frequency for the absorber is 10.525 GHz. The type of bending is divided into two parts, which is convex bending and concave bending. Through series of simulations, the effects of the bending on the absorptivity and the shifting of the resonant frequency is observed. Also, the study on the change of incident and polarization angle is also included to support the basis of flexible metamaterial absorber affected by the bending.

Abstract

Based on an annulled circle structure metamaterial absorber (MMAb), a floral structure MMAb design is proposed for performance improvement especially on absorptivity. Since the initial purpose of designing the MMAb is for hiding one’s existence from electromagnetic motion detector, it is expected that the MMAb will has flexibility as one of its characteristics. The MMAb composes of textile-based substrate in between floral structure at the top and ground plane at the bottom, based on metallic plate. The targeted center frequency is 10.525 GHz and through series of simulation done in CST Microwave Software, the MMAb can reach up to 97.03% of absorptivity. The operating angle can be extended at least 68o before its absorptivity deteriorated below 80%. In addition, the proposed MMAb has a high absorptivity regardless of the polarization angle of the electromagnetic waves.

Abstract

Telecommunication systems for the new generation have greatly stimulated the demand for multi-band bandpass filters with compact dimensions, low insertion loss, robust, low cost and less complex design. In this paper, a compact multi-band bandpass filter, with the fractional bandwidth of 40% and 20% at resonant frequency 3.5 and 5.5 GHz respectively with the response of Chebyshev passband ripple of 0.1 dB is presented. This bandpass filter is suitable for WiMAX application. The design is based on the hairpin-line configuration and metamaterial of complementary split ring resonator structure. The hairpin-line is used for the compact structure design and easy to fabricate because it has open-circuited ends that require no grounding. While the complementary split ring resonator structure is easy to design and can provide multi-band without affecting of size and performance of the filter. The simulated results show the dual-band bandpass response with the insertion loss is 0 dB and high attenuation at stopband. The proposed filter provides a compact, low insertion loss, and less complex structure design that are promising candidates in order to meet the demands of the new generation of communication systems.

Abstract

In this paper, a wideband multilayer transmitarray antenna is designed for Ku frequency band. The unit cell is designed at 12GHz using frequency selective surface structure. Double square ring with center patch based multilayer unit cell is simulated. The effect of substrate thickness variation on transmission coefficient magnitude and phase range is discussed. The horn antenna designed at X-band will be used as feed source for transmitarray antenna. Transmitarray simulation results show wide impedance bandwidth from 10 to 13GHz. Wide gain bandwidth of 1.975GHz with peak gain of 18.96dB is achieved. The proposed transmitarray design will find applications in high gain, directional, low profile antennas for X-band communication systems.

Abstract

Surveillance and monitoring has become very important for security reasons these days. The use of wireless sensor node device offers a variety of platform depends on the attached sensor. When an image sensor is attached, the wireless sensor node is capable of monitoring an area wirelessly. Since wireless environment uses antenna to transmit and receive data, antenna is an important component that affects the video monitoring performance. This paper describes a surveillance system using Raspberry Pi with various external antenna. The Raspberry Pi with Pi Camera module and various types of antennas was used for testing and experimentation in line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) condition. The results revealed that the Yagi Uda antenna gives the best output in terms of its signal strength and average Receive (Rx) rate.
