Gain enhancement of circular waveguide antennas using near-zero index metamaterials

Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi, Foziyeh Sohrabi

In this article, a rigorous analytical methodology is introduced for designing near-zero refractive index metamaterials (NZIMs). Our proposed NZIM media is realized by three stacked layers of perforated metallic surfaces, each layer composed of a fishnet-l ...

Silicon Photonic MEMS Phase-Shifter

Niels Quack, Hamed Sattari, Teodoro Graziosi, Marcell Kristof Kiss

We present a design for an analog phase shifter based on Silicon Photonic MEMS technology. The operation principle is based on a two-step parallel plate electrostatic actuation mechanism to bring a vertically movable suspended tapered waveguide in a first ...

A Comparison of Three Feeding Networks for CubeSat L/S-dual-band Stacked-Patch Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

The CubeSat nanosatellite standard puts strict limitations on the antenna volume, resulting in a low impedance and axial-ratio (AR) bandwidths of patch antennas. The AR of a circularly polarized patch antenna can be improved with the introduction of a dedi ...

A single-chip integrated transceiver for high field NMR magnetometry

Giovanni Boero, Marco Grisi, Gaurasundar Marc Conley

We present the design and performance of a broad-band single-chip integrated transceiver specifically conceived for nuclear magnetic resonance magnetometry. The single-chip transceiver is realized using a standard silicon complementary metal-oxide-semicond ...

Design status of the double Closure Plate Sub-Plate concept for the ITER Electron Cyclotron Upper Launcher

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Jean-Daniel Landis, Avelino Mas Sanchez, Matteo Vagnoni, Phillip Miguel Santos Silva, Florian Ramseyer

The Closure Plate Sub-Plate (CPSP), which defines the border between ex-vessel and in-vessel components of the Electron Cyclotron Upper Launcher (EC UL), bundles the waveguides into a sub-assembly which can be manipulated separately from the UL Port Plug ( ...

Estimation Bounds for GNSS Synthetic Aperture Techniques

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo

This paper characterizes the estimation performance of synthetic aperture (SA) techniques in the context of moving GNSS receivers. Under the assumption of a stationary channel, SA techniques transform a single antenna into a virtual array. We first introdu ...

3D-printed Ka-band Antenna Based on Stereolithography

Juan Ramon Mosig, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

This paper presents a circularly-polarized dual-band antenna for Ka-band satellite communications which operates simultaneously in both civil and military downlink (17.7-21.2 GHz) and uplink (27.5-31 GHz) bands. The antenna is composed of a metallic ridged ...

GNSS Multipath Estimation and Mitigation Using a Rotating Antenna

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo

We describe the experimental framework that we have developed to study the use of synthetic aperture in GNSS receivers to estimate and mitigate multipath interference. By combining the signal received by a single moving antenna during different time instan ...
