Biodegradable dual semicircular patch antenna tile for smart floors Ghent University
A dual semicircular microstrip patch antenna implemented on a biodegradable substrate is presented for operation in the [863-873] MHz and [2.4-2.5] GHz frequency bands. To cover these frequency bands, two semicircular patches are compactly integrated onto a biodegradable cork tile, commonly found as support in laminate flooring, serving as a substrate. Thereby, the antenna tile may be seamlessly embedded as a sublayer of the floor structure. A ...
Dual-band (28,38) GHz coupled quarter-mode substrate-integrated waveguide antenna array for next-generation wireless systems Ghent University
A novel dual-band substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna array topology is proposed for operation in the 28 and 38 GHz frequency bands. Four miniaturized quarter-mode SIW cavities are tightly coupled, causing mode bifurcation, and yielding an antenna topology with four distinct resonance frequencies. A pair of resonances is assigned to both the 28 and 38 GHz band, achieving wideband operation in both frequency ranges. Moreover, owing to ...
Single-Fed 3 x 3 substrate-integrated waveguide parasitic antenna array for 24 GHz radar applications Ghent University
A novel substrate-integrated waveguide parasitic compact antenna array without feeding network is proposed for operation in the 24 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. Inductive windows are exploited to couple adjacent array elements, eliminating the need for a conventional elaborate feeding network, consisting of multiple stages of power dividers. As such, this coupling technique results in an extremely compact design, ...
Assembly-line-compatible electromagnetic characterization of antenna substrates for wearable applications using polynomial chaos Ghent University
A novel 60 GHz wideband coupled half-mode/quarter-mode substrate integrated waveguide antenna Ghent University
A novel wideband substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna topology, consisting of coupled half-mode and quarter-mode SIW resonant cavities, is proposed for operation in the 60 GHz band. This innovative topology combines a considerable bandwidth enhancement and a low form factor with compatibility with low-cost printed circuit board manufacturing processes, making it excellently suited for the next generation, high data rate wireless ...
