In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...

Hyperthermia is one of the modalities for cancer treatment, utilizing the difference of thermal sensitivity between tumor and normal tissue. Interstitial microwave hyperthermia is one of the heating schemes and it is applied to a localized tumor. In the treatments, heating pattern control around antennas are important, especially for the treatment in and around critical organs. This paper intro...

5.1 INTRODUCTION MIMO wireless systems have demonstrated the potential to increase communication spectral efficiency in a rich multipath environment. From an antennas perspective, different array configurations and types of element have been proposed and analyzed for MIMO links. Nowadays in military and commercial applications there have been ever growing demands for antennas. The standard dipo...

It is important to estimate conductivity and permittivity of formation around a borehole. Arrival time and amplitude of the direct wave in single-hole borehole radar is related to the electromagnetic parameters. In this paper, we propose a liner array of dipole antenna elements in a borehole for a receiver. We introduced an optical modulator to transfer the received array signals to optical sig...

Abstract—This paper describes a wideband double-dipole Yagi-Uda antenna fed by a microstrip-slot coplanar stripline transition. The conventional dipole driver of a Yagi-Uda antenna is replaced by two parallel dipoles with different lengths to achieve multi-resonances, and a small, tapered ground plane is used to allow flexibility in the placement of a pair of reflectors for effective reflection...

this article presents an overview of the recent Frequency dependent and Frequency independent antenna theory. An antenna is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “a usually metallic device (as a rod or wire) for radiating (transmitting) or receiving radio waves or EM wave.” The IEEE Standard Definitions of Terms for Antennas (IEEE Std 145–1983) defines the antenna as “a means for radiating or rece...

A wide band, integrated linear printed antenna array with low sidelobe cosecant square-shaped beam pattern is presented. Array synthesis mainly about the wide shaped coverage, low ripple and sidelobe level (SLL) has been done using the modified least square method by matrix inversion. A printed dipole integrated with wideband balun has been chosen as the array element for wide bandwidth and goo...

─ In the present work, a circular conformal array with wideband printed dipole antennas and wideband feeding network has been designed to obtain a fully constrained cosecant squared radiation pattern using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and mutual coupling compensation. Using the circular conformal design leads to a decrease of around 33% of the length of the array antenna compared...
