Large umbrella space antennas are essential for communication, monitoring and observation of Earth and space objects. Despite investigations devoted to space antenna dynamics, the disturbance impulse shape effect on the root mean square error of spacecraft antenna reflecting surface has not been studied. This paper overcomes this gap describing disturbance impulse impact on root mean square err...

The design of a compact metamaterial ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a goal towards application in microwave imaging systems for detecting unwanted cells in human tissue, such as in cases of breast cancer, heart failure and brain stroke detection is proposed. This proposed UWB antenna is made of four metamaterial unit cells, where each cell is an integration of a modified split ring resonator...

Introduction: Millimetre-wave fibre wireless applications [1] could profit from a small antenna that can be fully integrated with the microwave and optical components of the system. This can lead to smaller and more cost-effective fibre-fed antenna units. Active integrated antennas [2] are another application that could benefit from a directly integrated antenna. Printed antennas are the obviou...

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

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short range radio frequency technology. Because of the short range, cloning attacks of NFC devices are impractical. To make this possible, you would need to be very close to the tag. Currently, a lot of research has been done on NFC range extension. However, almost all of this research is executed in a lab environment that is not comparable to a day-to-day wo...

This paper first examines and corrects Storer’s theory of circular loop antennas, then investigates theoretically the proposed Ω-shaped loop-dipole antenna. Special emphasis is given to analysis effect higher-order terms Fourier series as a remainder on current distribution, input impedance, radiation patterns thin-wire It found that must be included in calculation distribution impedance but ca...

We have analyzed observations from a radioastronomical experiment to survey the sky at decimetric wavelengths along with feed pattern measurements in order to account for the level of ground contamination entering the sidelobes. A major asset of the experiment is the use of a wire mesh fence around the rim-halo shielded antenna with the purpose of levelling out and reducing this source of stray...
