Closed-form Harmonic Contrast Control with Surface Impedance Coatings for Conductive Objects
The problem of suppressing the scattering from conductive objects is
addressed in terms of harmonic contrast reduction. A unique compact closed-form
solution for a surface impedance is found in a straightforward
manner and without any approximation as a function of the harmonic index
(scattering mode to suppress) and of the frequency regime (product of
wavenumber and radius of the cloaked system) at any frequency regime.
In the quasi-static limit, mantle cloaking is obtained as a particular case for
and . In addition, beyond quasi-static regime, impedance
coatings for a selected dominant harmonic wave can be designed with proper
dispersive behaviour, resulting in improved reduction levels and harmonic
filtering capability.Comment: 6 page
Dual-Circularly Polarized Single-Element Patch Antenna with Compact Multi-Port Feeding
A circularly polarized (CP) S-band patch antenna that makes use of a multi-port setup to improve its radiation efficiency and compactness is presented. The design highlights a single-element patch with eight-port feeding, by using compact slot meandering. To the best knowledge of the authors, no earlier literature discloses a similar single-element patch with eight feeding points made compact by slot meandering whilst demonstrating comparable performances, BW, agility, and polarization purity. In addition, our design utilizes eight, 50- Ω microstrip ports to set and excite the orthogonal polarization states. The miniaturized feeding arrangement, directly under the patch, enables the antenna to produce both left-handed and right-handed CP (as well as other polarization states), making the design suitable for full-duplex and diversity scenarios
