Principle, control theory, and application of the ESPAR (Electrically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna are introduced. A typical ESPAR antenna consists of monopole or dipole elements, one of which is the radiator (fed element) and the others are the parasitic radiators with variable reactance devices loaded on them. It can provide a lower-cost solution as an adaptive array antenna or...

The problem of the rigid-piston radiator mounted in an infinite baffle has been studied widely for tutorial as well as for practical reasons. The resulting theory is commonly applied to model a loudspeaker in the audio-frequency range. A special function, the Struve function H1 (z), occurs in the expressions for the rigid-piston radiator. This Struve function is not readily available in program...

A printed monopole antenna with CPW-fed is proposed. The proposed antenna includes a rectangle shape radiator, two ground planes with symmetrical notch and feed excitation. It covers the all ultra wideband (UWB 3.1GHz ~ 10.6GHz) and has 7.8GHz (2.8GHz ~ 10.6GHz) measured return loss bandwidth. In modifiable design, we choose to design the notches on the ground plane, the high of the proposed an...

In the present paper, the effect of water-CuO nanofluid on the radiator heat transfer of an automobile, Peugeot 405 XU7 engine type is investigated experimentally. The experiments are carried out for the radiator water (water-ethylene glycol with a volume fraction of 80-20, respectively) as a base fluid and water-CuO nanofluid with the volume fraction of 0.5% and 1%. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS...

This work presents advances on the development of a resonant radiator, obtained as augmentation conventional Impulse Radiating Antenna (IRA) with Frequency Selective Surface (FSS), in L-band. An improved passband-type FSS is by exploring Multiple Split Ring Resonators (MCSRR) unit cells to obtain higher Q-factor radiator. The effects multiband and tunable FSS’s are also studied verified via sim...

An outstanding square slot element, for x-band wireless applications with asymmetric coplanar waveguide fed (CPW) is proposed. Various shapes of metallic strips are utilized as grounded stubs for providing Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) functionality and wide-band properties. By adjusting the proposed stubs and hook-shaped radiator, length and positions, wider impedance band width is o...
