Compact Design of Dual-Band Circular Polarized Microstrip Antenna with Single Feed
A novel and compact dual band dual sense circularly polarized microstrip
patch antenna with single coaxial feed has been reported in the present work.
The key idea of generating dual band circular polarisation (CP) is the
integration of a square patch with corner truncation and a smaller concentric
circular patch with double slits. The first resonance is provided by the larger
patch whose corner truncation generates two orthogonal modes. The inner patch
controls the higher-order resonance with the CP contributed by two narrow
slits. The higher order resonating frequency can be monitored by controlling
the dimensions of the circle and the slits. The antenna provides the CP in two
orthogonal planes with two different sense of polarisation. The lower order CP
is of left-handed orientation, whereas the higher order shows right-handed
polarization. The cross-polarization level is also found to be very low.Comment: 9 page

Robust Algorithms for Localizing Moving Nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks
The vivid success of the emerging wireless sensor technology (WSN) gave rise
to the notion of localization in the communications field. Indeed, the interest
in localization grew further with the proliferation of the wireless sensor
network applications including medicine, military as well as transport. By
utilizing a subset of sensor terminals, gathered data in a WSN can be both
identified and correlated which helps in managing the nodes distributed
throughout the network. In most scenarios presented in the literature, the
nodes to be localized are often considered static. However, as we are heading
towards the 5th generation mobile communication, the aspect of mobility should
be regarded. Thus, the novelty of this research relies in its ability to merge
the robotics as well as WSN fields creating a state of art for the localization
of moving nodes. The challenging aspect relies in the capability of merging
these two platforms in a way where the limitations of each is minimized as much
as possible. A hybrid technique which combines both the Particle Filter (PF)
method and the Time Difference of Arrival Technique (TDOA) is presented.
Simulation results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms other
techniques in terms of accuracy and robustness.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure
Near-Field Radiation Exposure Control in Slot-Loaded Microstrip Antenna: A Characteristic Mode Approach
Microstip antenna topology is commonly loaded with a narrow slot to
manipulate the resonance frequency or impedance bandwidth. However, the tuning
of the resonance frequency or impedance bandwidth results in the variation of
the current and field distributions. In this regard, this work adopts the
concept of characteristic modes to gain an initial understanding of the
perturbation mechanism of the rectangular patch when loaded with a slot. The
performance of microstrip antennas with finite ground plane is then studied
using full-wave simulation. It has been found that the distribution of the
induced current density is highly dependent on the orientation of the slot The
incorporation of a narrow slot suppresses the nearby orthogonal eigen mode and,
as a consequence, the radiation behavior is affected. Specifically, in the
presence of biological tissues in the near-field region, both antenna input
impedance properties and the realized gain are dependent on the slot
orientation. Different examples are included for understanding the impact of
slot loading on the energy absorption by biological tissues, by calculating the
the specific absorption rate (SAR). The proposed analysis facilitates the
design of miniaturized antenna geometries for biomedical applications via
systematic loading of narrow slots.Comment: 21 Page
Modeling of Vertical Dipole Above Lossy Dielectric Half-Space: Characteristic Mode Theory
This work introduces a theoretical extension of the characteristic mode
formulation for analysing the vertical electric dipole lying above a lossy
dielectric half-space. As the conventional characteristic formulation fails to
maintain the orthogonality of the characteristic field modes over the infinite
sphere, an alternate modal formulation is proposed here to maintain the
orthogonality for both the current and field modes. The modal results are found
to match closely with its method of moment counterparts. Later, the modes of an
isolated dipole with no ground plane have been used to predict the role of the
lossy ground plane through a theory of the linear combination of the
eigenvectors. The proposed formulations have been studied with different
heights from the ground plane and are compared with the direct modal solutions
to validate its accuracy. It helps to provide a thorough understanding of how
the isolated modes interact among each other to constitute the perturbed modes
in the presence of the lossy half-space. It can find application to include the
lossy earth effect in the study of the lightning fields and the path loss
modelling of the antennas over the lossy ground.Comment: 23 pages, 5 Figure
