Over the past decade, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Antenna Technology Branch at Hanscom AFB has employed the simple genetic algorithm (SGA) as an optimization tool for a wide variety of antenna applications. Over roughly the same period, researchers at the Illinois Genetic Algorithm Laboratory (IlliGAL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign have developed GA design theor...

Abstract—In this paper, a fast and efficient method based on MOM is proposed for the analysis of antenna and array mounted on bodies of revolution. An attachment mode is introduced to ensure the continuity of current density at the junction region between wire antenna and cylindrical surface. A method based on suitable changes of coordinates and domains is presented to extract singular point of...

Heating of chromatographic columns, transfer lines, and other devices is often required in neuroscience research. For example, volatile compounds passing through a capillary column of a gas chromatograph (GC) can be split, with half exiting the instrument through a heated transfer line to an insect antenna or olfactory sensillum for electroantennographic detector (GC-EAD) recordings. The heated...

The perfect lens property of a dispersive and lossy lefthanded metamaterial disk is exploited to superimpose a source of electromagnetic radiation onto its mirror image, formed as a result of reflection from a perfect electric conductor or a perfect magnetic conductor. The superposition of a vertical wire-dipole antenna with its perfect electric conductor image results in an increase of the rad...

The usage of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is growing in many communication systems such as radar systems, communication and measurement systems and imaging systems mainly because unlike the other wireless technologies UWB is not restricted to using a narrow waveband and it has high speed data rate. The large transmission bandwidth makes UWB-based electronic device resistive to interferences ...

Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) is a swarm based optimization algorithm that has shown impressive performance over other Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). Immigration Refusal Biogeography Based Optimization (IRBBO), Enhanced Biogeography Based Optimization (EBBO), Blended Migration are the most improved version of BBO and are known as migration variants of BBO. In this paper, a new concept o...

Antenna Miniaturization Using Fractals Richa Garg, AP ECE Deptt., [email protected], J.C.D.C.O.E., Sirsa ABSTRACTThe use of fractal geometry in designing antenna has been a resent topic of interest. Fractal shape has their own unique characteristics that the improved antenna performance can be achieved without degrading the antenna properties. Modern telecommunication system requires antenn...

in this paper a new uwb textile slot antenna has been designed with high precision. this work aimed to makecloser steps towards real wearability by investigating the possibilities of designing wearable uwb antenna wheretextile materials are used for the substrate as well as the conducting parts of the designed antenna. the antenna iscomposed of three textile layers: the top and bottom are condu...

In this paper, a new method for radar cross section reduction of a monopole antenna is proposed. In this method, a plasma helix like fluorescent bulbs is placed around the antenna element. The selected plasma parameter for this medium acts as an absorber without disturbing the antenna performance. The simulations show that radar cross section of simulated antenna is reduced in a wide frequency ...

in this article, the linear array (with 20 elements in the horizontal orientation) of microstrip antenna is examined with horizontal polarization. the set includes three microstrip substrates. there is a power network in two lower substrates and microstrip patches in the upper substrate. excitation of patches has been done as coupled through the power network in two lower substrates. using the ...
