Abstract

In the area of wearable technology an enhancement of basic microstrip antenna is evolution of wearable textile antenna. A new development of wearable antenna is the incorporated of conductive plane using nanocomposite ink that embedded onto the fabric. In this paper, the performance of variety thickness of conductive Graphene-Ag-Cu ink on a drill fabric is presented. The performances include its resistivity and conductivity measurement. By performing a measurement using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and four-point probe, it can obtain and measure the composition and thickness of nanocomposite layered on a fabric and resistivity respectively. Hence, it can provide detailed information about the surface morphology, roughness, and thickness of the nanocomposite coating on the fabric as well as the electrical conductivity. Finally, the electrical conductivity increased to the fifth layered from 0.1473×104 S/cm up to 0.5393×104 S/cm.

Abstract

This article gives a parametric study on strawberry-shaped monopole antennas for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The antenna design consisted of three different parametric design steps to structure the strawberry radiated monopole antenna. The scheduled strawberry monopole antenna was simulated on an FR4 substrate in a low profile for UWB applications. The total physical dimension is 26 mm×26 mm×1.6 mm, corresponding to the centre frequency of 7.5 GHz. The strawberry antenna is fed via a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to attain the best impedance matching for UWB systems. The presented monopole antenna has an impedance UWB bandwidth of 11.0 GHz from 2.6 GHz up to 13.6 GHz at −10 dB return loss. The simulated UWB strawberry monopole antenna displays an omnidirectional radiation behaviour with a simulated gain of 7.3 dB at 13.6 GHz, a directivity of 7.5 dBi at 13.6 GHz and favourable radiation efficiency of 97%. The proposed monopole UWB strawberry antenna has the technological possibility to be used for UWB applications.

Abstract

This paper proposes a microstrip antenna that was made of a microstrip fed slot with a complimentary stub on a single dielectric medium. This antenna was integrated with a reflector and air gap for the application of short range communication (SRC) in a 900 MHz band. Analyses were made on the dimension of the reflector and the height of the air gap towards the antenna performance. Besides, an antenna field test was done for the propagation distance of the proposed antenna. As a result, with the antenna size of 13,770 mm2 , the measured return loss was -10.79 dB and the directivity gain was 7.44 dBi. Besides, with the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 7.44 dBm, it was predicted that at 100 m, the received signal would be around 60 to 70 dBm. Therefore, a high gain was produced by using a reflector with air gap and a compact size was achieved if compared to conventional high gain antenna designs such as Yagi Uda. Thus, it is suitable for a communication device such as the SRC application.

Abstract

This paper presents a low-insertion-loss open-loop resonator (OLR)-based microstrip diplexer with high-selective for wireless applications. We used two series capacitive gaps in the microstrip transmission line, loaded with rectangular-shaped half-wavelength OLRs, to create a high-selectivity bandpass filter (BPF). The planned BPFs are linked through a T-junction combiner, precisely tuned to align with both filters and the antenna port in order to produce the proposed diplexer. The system is implemented on a rogers TMM4 substrate with a loss tangent of 0.002, a dielectric constant of 4.7, and a thickness of 1.52 mm. The suggested diplexer has dimensions of (90×70) mm². It achieves a modest frequency space ratio of R=0.1646 in both transmit and receive modes by having two resonance frequencies of ft=2.191 GHz and fr=2.584 GHz, respectively. The simulated structure displays good insertion losses of approximately 1.2 dB and 1.79 dB for the two channels, respectively, at fractional bandwidths of 1.24% at 2.191 GHz and 0.636% at 2.584 GHz. The simulated isolation values for 2.191 GHz and 2.584 GHz are 53.3 dB and 66.5 dB, respectively.

Abstract

This paper proposes a high isolation of single pole double throw (SPDT) PIN diode switch using switchable dumbbell-shaped defected ground structure (DGS). The proposed SPDT switch was designed for radio frequency (RF) front-end transceiver of antenna array multiple input multiple output (MIMO) in millimeter wave 28 GHz band. The switchable dumbbell-shaped DGS can be switched between allpass and bandstop responses where the bandstop response of the DGS can be utilized as a high isolation in the SPDT PIN diode switch circuit. A simple mathematical analysis is explained in this paper for the bandstop and allpass responses of the switchable dumbbell-shaped DGS. The propose SPDT switch was designed based on Roger RT/Duroid 5880 with 0.254 mm thickness and relative dielectric constant of 2.2. The simulated result showed that the proposed SPDT PIN diode switch produced an isolation of 36.36 dB at 27.3 GHz (center of 28 GHz band), which was 63% higher than the conventional SPDT design.

Abstract

This paper compares two single balanced mixer designs for ultra-wideband  (UWB) of RF front-end at frequencies ranging from 3 to 10 GHz. The proposed mixer designs use two balun topologies for varying mixer performances. Thus, Design 1 incorporates a Coupled Line Balun and Design 2 incorporates a Branch Line Balun. Both designs make use of Skyworks' SMS7621 Schottky diodes, which have a low junction capacitance, and the Rogers RO4350B substrate, which has a dielectric constant of 3.48. The Coupled Line Balun (Design 1) offers a total length of 88 mm, whereas the Branch Line Balun (Design 2) creates a more compact structure with 48 mm. This paper's thorough analysis and measurements show each design's benefits and drawbacks in terms of circuit size and performance. The simulations and measurement results of both designs generally showed a conversion loss of less than 20 dB and LO-RF isolation of better than 50 dB.

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.
