We developed a magnetic field probe consisting of a LiNbO3 optical waveguide modulator and a loop antenna element for accurate magnetic near-field measurements in the gigahertz range. We confirmed the probe invasiveness by measuring magnetic field distributions above a patch antenna operating at 2.49 GHz using the probe. Then we compared those measured results with those for shielded loop probe...

The functionality of an improved magnetic loop antenna (MLA) is a prominent research which has span almost three decades. Its shape and size had metaphorsize from the usual analogue to a digital device-which is now used for experiments in space. In this paper, the application of MLA for ultra wide band (UWB) design was proposed. A new concept was introduced -angular displacement theory which wa...

This article presents an inexpensive, efficient, and electrically-small antenna design that is based on a metamaterial-inspired structure driven by an electrically-small semi-circular loop antenna, which is coaxially-fed through a finite ground plane. The proposed antenna system is linearly scalable over a wide frequency spectrum. The design details and radiation characteristics of the antenna ...

Mobile satellite antennas are gimbal-mounted with an active control system to keep the antenna pointed at the target satellite. Short time-scale antenna stabilization is achieved with gyroscope feedback. Long time-scale tracking of the satellite is maintained by scanning the antenna: The beam is intentionally nutated and the resulting change in signal strength is used to estimate how well the a...

This paper presents a new type of electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurement system. An EMI Camera LSI (EMcam) with a 12 × 4 on-chip 250 × 50 μm2 loop antenna matrix in 65 nm CMOS is developed. EMcam achieves both the 2D electric scanning and 60 μm-level spatial precision. The down-conversion architecture increases the bandwidth of EMcam and enables the measurement of EMI spectrum up to 3.3...

Present wireless communication demands compact and intelligent devices with multitasking capabilities at affordable cost. The focus in the presented paper is on a dual band antenna for wireless communication with the capability of operating at two frequency bands with same structure. Two resonance frequencies are observed with the second operation band at 4.2GHz approximately three times the fi...

The investigation into the luminescence properties of a lanthanide-binding peptide, derived from the Ca-binding loop of the parvalbumin, and modified by incorporating a 1,8-naphthalimide (Naph) chromophore at the N-terminus is described. Here, the Naph is used as a sensitising antenna, which can be excited at lower energy than classical aromatic amino acids, such as tryptophan (the dodecapeptid...

A multiband monopole antenna with modified fractal loop parasitic is presented. By adding bow-tie patches and a modified fractal loop to the sides and bottom of a strip line monopole, respectively, the presented antenna can generate the multi-resonant frequencies for the application of wireless communication systems. The characteristics of the presented antenna have been examined by using the s...

in this paper a new low profile substrate integrated waveguide (siw) probe-fed h-plane horn antenna structure with improved gain is proposed. the proposed antenna consists of two waveguides including a rectangular and a taper one, in which both, first and third modes of the structure are simultaneously excited leading to a uniform field distribution along the radiating aperture of the antenna a...

We present a frequency-tunable, compact loop antenna which consists of a transmission line on a ground plane, two shorting posts, and two inductors which are serially connected between the posts and the edge of the transmission line. By properly choosing the inductance of the inductors, the operating frequency of the antenna can be controlled without seriously sacrificing fractional bandwidth. ...
