High directive stacked multilayer and edge coupled planar microstrip patch antenna made from a single-layer helical resonating metamaterial superstrate has been investigated. Metamaterials are artificial materials whose properties not found in nature. These materials have negative permittivity and permeability and negative index of refraction over a frequency band. In this paper, an innovative ...

A Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) fed by Dielectric Image Line (DIL) through a narrow slot placed on a finite ground plane is numerically investigated. The effects of ground plane size on the radiation performance of the antenna are analyzed. To increase the antenna gain, four sidewalls are placed around the corners of the ground. Also, a reflector is placed at the back side of ...

A surface plasmon polariton refractive index sensor based on Fano resonances in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides coupled with rectangular and ring resonators is proposed and numerically investigated using a finite element method. Fano resonances are observed in the transmission spectra, which result from the coupling between the narrow-band spectral response in the ring resonator and the ...

A topology optimization method is proposed in this study to miniaturize a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna (RMPA) operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz using Metamaterials (MTMs) composed of complementary resonator. The metamaterial is placed in an intermediate layer between the patch and the ground, binary pixelation approach is used to build the structure of the complementary resonator and i...

The design of a wideband circularly polarized pixelated dielectric resonator antenna using a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is presented for far-field wireless power transfer applications. The antenna consists of a dielectric resonator (DR) which is discretized into 8 × 8 grid DR bars. The real-coded GA is utilized to estimate the optimal heights of the 64 DR bars to realize circular polariz...

We model salient objects in images as being surrounded by more edges than they have in their interior, and address their detection by an algorithm that searches for optimal nested pairs of rectangular windows. The window that maximizes the sum of edge scores within the picture-frame like region between the two rectangles is returned. The space of all pairs of nested rectangles is a subset of R8...

The rectangular microwave resonator filed by a ferrite with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is considered. It is shown that this task can be reduced to an empty rhombus resonator with vertex angle defined by external magnetic field provided the magnetic anisotropy of the ferrite is strong. Therefore statistics of eigen frequencies for TM modes is described by the Brody or semi-Poisson distribution...

A Log Periodic Dielectric Resonator Antenna (LPDRA) for broadband applications is presented. In this paper, a broad bandwidth antenna is formed by application of log periodic technique to the series fed electromagnetically coupled rectangular overlaid dielectric resonator array. This Log Periodic DRA is simulated using a CST microwave studio suite 2010. The simulated results show wider impedanc...
