A new design of coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed antenna with circular polarization (CP) and excellent impedance matching is presented. In this design a pair of circular-shaped slits is applied to opposite corners of the slot for enhancing the impedance matching and realizes bandwidth of 134.43% across 2.98-15.20 GHz for VSWR≤2. Furthermore this structure exhibits axial ration bandwidth (ARBW) of 3...

An efficient rectifier system along with an impedance matching network is proposed in this article. Impedance matching network is designed using two microstrip lines. Rectifier system for better RF to DC conversion is designed using a bridge rectifier. The proposed rectifier system provides a maximum efficiency of 50%. The impedance matching network improves the overall system performances sign...

Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...

In this paper, the contact motion between rigid body systems floating in space is formulated and dynamic conditions are investigated in order to capture a non-cooperative satellite. As for the theoretical investigation, impedance matching is discussed for the case in which the robot hand under impedance control approaches and collides with a passive target, and a specific impedance value is def...

in some mobile systems, intelligent antennas are used to increase efficiency in a wide frequency band and different environmental and electromagnetic conditions. environmental factors, such as position of nearby objects, antenna mobility and even user type, can vary the antenna input impedance appreciably. therefore, it is necessary to incorporate an adaptive impedance matching circuit between ...

We characterize solutions for two-sided matching, both in the transferableand in the nontransferable-utility frameworks, using a cardinal formulation. Our approach makes the comparison of the matching models with and without transfers particularly transparent. We introduce the concept of a no-trade matching to study the role of transfers in matching. A no-trade matching is one in which the avai...

Impedance may be defined as a measure of the amplitude and phase of opposition to the flow of a current. Impedance is a fundamental concept, of universal validity. Impedances govern energy flow. Classical or quantum impedances, geometric or topological, scale invariant or scale dependent, fermionic or bosonic, mechanical or electromagnetic or gravitational impedance matching governs the flow of...

Foam fraction can be retrieved from space-based microwave radiometric data at frequencies from 1 to 37 GHz. The retrievals require modeling of ocean surface emissivity fully covered with sea foam. To model foam emissivity well, knowledge of foam properties, both mechanical and dielectric, is necessary because these control the radiative processes in foam. We present a physical description of fo...
