10.1017/S1759078719000308 BibTeX Abstract Download Coupled-mode theory is applied to obtain an analytic form of scattering parameters for a class of transmission line metamaterials with antisymmetric split-rings. The same structure is modeled with equivalent circuit, which includes electric and magnetic coupling with the line and inter-resonator coupling. Modified even/odd analysis is used to obtain scattering parameters from the equivalent circuit. These two methods are shown to be equivalent in a narrow band, and their constants related. The obtained results are compared with full-wave simulations and measurements, and it is shown that both methods give accurate approximation in one octave frequency band. The derived analytic expressions are suitable for study of resonant phenomena, with potential practical applications for filters, phase shifters, delay lines, and sensors.

10.1109/TAP.2018.2874515 BibTeX Abstract In this paper, a novel design of a patch antenna with two symmetrical slits and two closely spaced resonances is proposed. A novel patch antenna demonstrates a great flexibility in impedances adjustment at both resonances that are of a great importance in the design of series-fed antenna arrays with a large number of radiating elements. Printed antenna with two linear arrays consisting of 16 serially fed patches is designed and fabricated. Measured results agree very well with simulations. The antenna operation frequency range is 15.6-17.3 GHz that is 10.3% of a relative bandwidth. The measured antenna gain is 19.5 dBi with a small variation of 1.2 dB within the whole operating bandwidth, sidelobe levels are below -22 dB in the H-plane and -11.5 dB in the E-plane. The half-power beamwidth is less than 8° and 40°, in H- and E-planes, respectively. The antenna array exhibits the enhanced impedance and radiation bandwidth in comparison with similar antenna structures and is very suitable for various radar applications, notably for compact, low-cost frequency-modulated continuous wave systems.

M. Radovanovic and B. Jokanovic, “Dual-Band Filter Inspired by ENZ Waveguide,” IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, vol. 27, no. 6, pp. 554–556, Jun. 2017.
10.1109/LMWC.2017.2701337 BibTeX Abstract This letter presents a novel design of the third-order dual-band filter operating in the frequency band 10-15 GHz. The filter consists of two rectangular cavities filled with foam dielectric and connected by an ultrathin waveguide channel, which mimics the epsilon-near-zero metamaterial. Each resonator is designed to support two propagating modes-one per each passband. By changing the filter dimensions for which we have derived analytical expressions, it is possible to change the center frequency of both passbands, their fractional bandwidths, and the position of the transmission zero between passbands.

10.1109/TAP.2017.2670528 BibTeX Abstract This paper presents a novel design of the 1-D frequency scanning antenna array with enhanced scan sector, frequency sensitivity, and sidelobe suppression. The antenna is intended for the direct imaging radar sensors. Modified pentagonal dipoles with impedances ranging from 120 to 1070 Ω are used as radiating elements to provide the required sidelobe suppression. For the antenna design, new types of phase shifters are considered, with respect to their insertion loss, frequency bandwidth, phase shift, and manufacturing simplicity: the double-cell left-handed shifter and its right-handed counterpart. Four linear arrays with eight pentagonal dipoles are combined to obtain the antenna array with higher gain and narrower main beam with respect to constituent linear arrays, but with almost identical H-plane scanning properties. The proposed antenna array was manufactured, and the measured results show an increased scan sector of 55°, high frequency sensitivity of 14.25°/100 MHz, gain of 15.5-17 dBi, and low sidelobe levels of around -20 dB in the whole scanning frequency range. Measured results are in very good agreement with simulations.

10.1109/LMWC.2016.2537790 BibTeX Abstract We present two versions of the reconfigurable composite triple split-ring resonators (C3SRRs). Reconfigurability is achieved by means of the de-tuning technique that enables obtaining different dual-band and single-band composite resonators from one triple-band topology. Five different configurations are obtained using the first topology: one triple-band, two dual-band and two single-band C3SRRs. The second topology provides seven different configurations: one triple-band, three dual-band and three single-band C3SRRs. PIN diodes are used as switching elements, which are placed on the vertical branches of split-ring resonators so that the filter insertion loss does not increase. Measured and simulated data are compared and excellent agreement is obtained.

10.1109/TAP.2015.2473700 BibTeX Abstract Novel methods are presented for the independent resonance tuning in rectangular waveguide epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) structures. This kind of tuning is achieved using short longitudinal and inclined slots placed in the middle of the ENZ channel. It is demonstrated that the tunneling frequency and Fabry-Pérot resonance (FPR) can be shifted by as much as 8% and 9.7%, respectively. Equivalent circuits for the tuning slots are given, and their equivalent parameters are extracted and validated. Analytical expressions for the equivalent slot reactances are also provided, and they show very good agreement with the extracted parameters. Experimental verification of both presented tuning methods is provided, and the agreement between simulated and experimental results is excellent (error less than 1%).

10.1109/TMTT.2014.2332302 BibTeX Abstract An enhanced equivalent circuit approach for the magnetic/electric interaction of single split-ring resonators (SRRs) with printed lines is presented in this paper. A very simple and efficient lumped-element network is proposed to model the behavior of metamaterial-based printed lines over a wide frequency band. The same circuit topology can be used for the single- and two-mirrored SRRs loaded microstrip line. The corresponding circuit parameters are obtained from the multiconductor transmission line theory as well as from closed-form expressions that make use of just the resonance frequency and minimum of the reflection coefficient (which should be previously extracted from experiments or full-wave simulations). The comparison of our equivalent circuit results with measurements and full-wave simulations has shown a very good agreement in a considerably wider frequency band than other previously proposed simple equivalent circuits.

BibTeX Abstract In this paper we present the exact bianisotropic parameter retrieval procedure for the case of transmission line metamaterials. The procedure assigns two different sets of effective parameters for two directions of propagation, which can be modelled by a bianisotropic medium. The procedure is applied to a microstrip line loaded with asymmetric edge-coupled split-ring resonators with gaps parallel and perpendicular to the line. The standard Nicolson-Ross-Weir procedure based on averaging of the S -parameters is not applicable to this case due to pronounced asymmetry. We also present the reverse procedure, which recovers the original S -parameters using the extracted effective permittivity and permeability, that fully validates the correctness of the proposed retrieval method.

10.1109/TMTT.2013.2268056 BibTeX Abstract In this paper, we propose the generalized extraction procedure for retrieval of the effective constitutive parameters for a metamaterial transmission line loaded with asymmetric unit cells. The asymmetric unit cell is replaced with a transmission line immersed in equivalent bianisotropic medium described by effective parameters ε, μ, and Zc, and bianisotropic parameters u and η. The proposed retrieval procedure is applied to novel dual-band unit cells and compared with the standard Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method that is originally developed for the symmetric unit cell and then extended to the asymmetric one using the averaged value of reflection coefficients. It has been shown that, in case of pronounced asymmetry, the NRW method gives only the exact value of refraction, but effective permittivity and permeability are considerably different from the exact values since they are calculated by means of the approximate value of characteristic impedance.

10.1109/LAWP.2013.2261046 BibTeX Abstract We propose a design of foam epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) waveguide with E- and H-plane step discontinuities at the same waveguide cross section. This enables using channel dielectric permittivity greater than the permittivity in input waveguides, which is required for foam ENZ waveguide realization. A method for wideband tuning of tunneling frequency by changing the length of two longitudinal slots was also proposed and experimentally verified. Simulated tuning range is 1.06 GHz, which is in a good agreement with experimentally achieved 0.99 GHz. This tuning range is accompanied by amplitude decrease of 1.6 dB.

10.1109/TMTT.2011.2123109 BibTeX Abstract A configuration of composite resonators consisting of three split-ring resonators is proposed to obtain a triple-band response with two transmission zeros between the passbands. Two new topologies are presented to design triple-band filters with controllable responses. A systematic filter design approach is presented based on a filter coupling model. The model is established to enable triple-band filter design with controlled passbands. Two methods are proposed and compared for the extraction of filter parameters. Coupling between nonadjacent elements is considered in the model and shown to have a significant effect. By changing the orientation of the coupled composite resonators, it is possible to introduce additional transmission zeros. Two sixth-order filter examples illustrate the use of the coupling model with the filter design approach to design filters with specified responses. The limitations of this filter topology are discussed.

10.12693/APhysPolA.116.631 BibTeX Abstract We consider metamaterial slabs composed of perfectly conducting split ring resonators. Assuming bianisotropic constitutive relations, we describe an S-parameter retrieval method that allows us to obtain the full material parameter tensors from numerically calculated S parameters. The retrieval has been done for various angles of incidence, ranging from 0° to 75°. It has been found that the parameters depend on the angle of incidence, but that this dependence is relatively small.

10.1109/TMTT.2008.2003522 BibTeX Abstract Complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) are typically used as negative-permittivity particles in microstrip left-handed structures. In this paper, novel CSRRs that use a square Sierpinski fractal curve are proposed and studied in detail. It is shown that the application of fractal geometries results in significant miniaturization of the metamaterial unit cell in comparison with conventional and equivalent meander structures. Multiple fractal CSRRs are also analyzed. The influence of different geometrical parameters and the order of the fractal curve on the performances are investigated, as well as the efficiency of excitation of the particles. When used in the design of left-handed transmission lines, fractal complementary split rings improve frequency selectivity in the upper transition band when compared to other nonfractal topologies.

ForeS exhibits low insertion losses and a large design flexibility: small changes of its inner dimensions, result in resonant frequency tuning range approximately equal to 67%. In the same time, the second harmonic is positioned at more then four times the first resonant frequency. By placing the diodes at the relevant positions, ForeS can be made electronically reconfigurable: 27% resonant frequency tuning range can be achieved, as well as different in- and out-of-band performances. Two LH transmission lines are designed using ForeS that offer a trade-off between LH bandwidth and pass band ripple. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Analysis shows two kinds of parasitic effects: parasitic effects that depend on the electrical length of the input transmission lines for the even and balanced modes, and those that depend on the length of the open- and short-circuited stubs, which are observed in both the regular odd mode and balanced mode. The developed theory allows the parasitic resonances in CPWFGP-CPS baluns to be predicted and shifted out of the operating frequency bandwidth by changing the corresponding physical dimensions of the balun.

BibTeX Abstract The paper presents the design and construction of a single sideband (SSB) mixer. Conversion loss, SWR, LO/RF isolation and image suppression have been measured by a computer-automated technique. A number of mixers for Ku band have been built using microstrip technology. The operating frequency ranges were from 15 to 16 GHz and from 14 to 14.5 GHz, while the IF in both cases was 70 MHz. The RF insertion loss of the SSB mixers was less than 6 dB, while image suppression was greater than 20 dB (for the 15 to 16 GHz mixer) and greater than 35 dB (for 14 to 14.5 GHz mixer). Also, RF/LO isolation of greater than 30 dB has been achieved.

10.1109/TELFOR.2018.8611820 BibTeX Abstract The paper presents the design of the novel circularly polarized antenna array operating at IMS band 24.05-24.25 GHz. The antenna array consists of 24 identical truncated patches which are serially fed through the microstip line. The antenna is a travelling-wave array with exponential power distribution which provides very good side lobe suppression of 32 dB in the whole operating band making it suitable for automotive radar applications. Simulated axial ratio is below 3dB in the range (24.07-24.27) GHz, the antenna gain is around 18 dBi, cross polarization is better than 15 dB and return loss is greater than 16 dB in the entire IMS band.

BibTeX Abstract In this paper two designs of circularly polarized printed antenna arrays with the truncated and slotted patches are presented. Both designs are compared regarding the radiation patterns and axial ratio. It is shown that slotted patch antenna array exhibits wider operating range regarding 3 dB-axial ratio compared to the truncated one, but has a lower gain.

BibTeX Abstract An uniplanar bow-tie slot dipole fed by CPW (coplanar waveguide) is proposed in this paper. Single element is designed for application in 5G frequency range 24.25-27.5 GHz. It is described how dimension parameters of bow-tie slot dipole can be designed to tune the impedance of the antenna over a wide range.

10.1109/TELSKS.2015.7357760 BibTeX Abstract We are presenting the design of a high gain printed antenna array consisting of 420 identical patch antennas intended for FMCW radar at Ku band. The array exhibits 3 dB-beamwidths of 2° and 10° in H and E plane, respectively, side lobe suppression better than 20 dB, gain about 30 dBi and VSWR less than 2 in the frequency range 17.1 - 17.6 GHz. Excellent antenna efficiency that is between 60 and 70 % is achieved by proper impedance matching throughout the array and by using series feeding architecture with both resonant and traveling-wave feed. Enhanced cross polarization suppression is obtained by anti-phase feeding of the upper and the lower halves of the antenna. Overall antenna dimensions are 31 λ0 × 7.5 λ0.

10.1109/MetaMaterials.2015.7342434 BibTeX Abstract A novel tunable filter based on ENZ waveguide technology is presented and discussed. This kind of filter utilizes the possibility of independent tuning of two types of resonances that occur in ENZ waveguides using short slot cuts in the ENZ channels. By forming a dual-channel configuration, a second-order bandpass filter can be obtained using zero-order-resonance (ZOR) from one channel and Fabry-Perot (FP) resonance from the other one (whose frequency is slightly different from ZOR). Both resonances can be simultaneously and equally tuned by changing the respective slots’ lengths. The maximum observed passband shift is 900 MHz or 8.3%. During filter tuning, 3 dB-bandwidth varies between 330 MHz (3.4%) and 470 MHz (4.4%) as the length of the tuning slots decreases. Maximum insertion loss observed is 1.8 dB.

Feeding network contains four elongated split-ring resonators (SRRs) placed between dipoles to increase the frequency dependant phase difference between radiating elements. Split-ring resonators are with gap parallel and far from microstrip line that provides better matching in a wider frequency range in comparison to the similar SRRs with gap close to microstrip line. The beam scanning is found to be Δ=36° with frequency variation in the range from 5.7GHz to 6.1GHz and a very flat gain between 12.5 and 13.6dBi.

10.1109/TELSKS.2013.6704887 BibTeX Abstract In this paper we present mimicking of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect, obtained in metamaterial transmission line loaded with two cross coupled SRRs placed at the opposite sides of the line. The increased group delay between 2ns and 3ns is observed in the EIT-like transmission band. We demonstrate possibility of tuning the EIT-like frequency in the range of 15% by shifting the vertical gaps far from the line and to the line. That is followed by the change of the EIT-like magnitude in the range ±1.2dB in respect to the basic case. If changing the position of horizontal gaps to the left and to the right, the EIT-like frequency changes in the range of 13.7%, but is followed with great change of the transmission and reflection coefficients, so that way of tuning can be used to switch ON/OFF the EIT-like response.

10.1109/TELSKS.2009.5339492 BibTeX Abstract In this paper heartbeat interval extraction methods using Doppler radar are reviewed. While single channel CW radar offers simple architecture and signal processing, this method is very sensitive to subject position and may result in rate doubling, or the coupling between heart and respiratory rates. Quadrature radio architecture is used to overcome this limitation. The use of linear and non-linear demodulation methods was explored for heartbeat interval extraction.

10.23919/EUMC.2009.5296442 BibTeX Abstract A new design for a triple-mode resonator based on multiple split-ring resonators is introduced. All three modes exhibit very high unloaded Q-factors ranging from 100 to 240 which is suitable for design of high selectivity filters. This structure exhibits transmission zeros between passbands. Changing the ring dimensions allows the resonant frequencies and bandwidths of the modes to be controlled. The effects of substrate thickness, ring widths and spacing and total resonator size are investigated and described. Measured data for two different resonators are compared to simulated data and very good agreement was found.

10.1109/EUMC.2008.4751547 BibTeX Abstract In this paper, a new type of left-handed unit cell is proposed, designed for multi-band operation. The proposed unit cell consists of a grounded square metal patch, capacitively coupled to the ring loaded with a grounded inductive stub. By varying some geometrical parameters of the unit cell, its three passbands can be arbitrarily positioned. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed unit cell, low-loss bandpass filter of the third order has been designed, which exhibits 43% 3-dB fractional bandwidth centred at 5.1 GHz. The proposed filter can be used in modern wireless communication systems that operate according to IEEE 801.11a and HyperLanII standards.

10.1109/EUMC.2008.4751478 BibTeX Abstract Heart rate variability (HRV) describes the time variation in beat-to-beat interval, and reflects the manner in which the cardiovascular regulatory system responds to demands, stress, and illness. A particular advantage of Doppler radar for HRV monitoring is the ability to detect and monitor heart and respiration signals simultaneously, and thus provide independent measures of HRV, and respiration-related fluctuations. High accuracy in obtaining HRV parameters using Doppler radar is achieved using linear demodulation method, including SDNN of about 10 ms, and mean beat to beat interval accuracy of close to 1 ms. In addition, respiration signals were obtained simultaneously with the heart signals, clearly showing a correlation between respiration cycles and heart rate variability.

10.1109/TELSKS.2007.4376098 BibTeX Abstract Split-ring resonators (SRR) are used both in microstrip and waveguide metamaterial structures to obtain negative values of permeability, whereas complementary split- ring resonators (CSRR) result in negative permittivity when placed below the microstrip. While the orientation of SRR positioned next to the microstrip transmission line significantly influences its performances, it is generally accepted that such dependence does not exist in the case of CSRR-loaded microstrip or SRR-loaded waveguide. In this paper, we show that SRR and CSRR can not be arbitrarily orientated, neither in microstrip nor in waveguide structures. The influence of the orientation is especially visible in the case of multiple CSRR geometries. To validate simulation results, microstrip lines loaded with multiple CSRRs were designed, fabricated and measured.

10.1109/EURCON.2007.4400520 BibTeX Abstract Split ring resonators and complementary split ring resonators are used in left-handed media to obtain negative values of permeability and permittivity, respectively. A typical resonant left-handed (LH) microstrip line, composed of complementary split ring resonators (CSSR) and capacitive gaps in the microstrip, exhibits a pass-band behavior. However, a significant shift between the measured and simulated values of the central frequency of the pass-band always occurs. In this paper, three widely used full-wave simulation tools: Ansoft’s high frequency structure simulator, EMSight in Microwave Office, and IE3D from Zeland Software Inc., are compared for the case of resonant LH transmission lines. The simulation results are compared with the measured data.

10.1109/TELSKS.2001.954879 BibTeX Abstract The design and characteristics of a simple direct QPSK modulator for a terrestrial point-to-point radio link is presented. This modulator enables a compact, low cost and high efficiency transmitter. Good sideband suppression, greater then 25 dB is obtained in the frequency range 21.0 to 24.0 GHz, without tuning. The insertion loss is less than 8 dB in 3 GHz bandwidth and the carrier suppression is about 22 dB

10.1109/TELSKS.1999.804728 BibTeX Abstract Effects limiting the bandwidth of CPWFGP-CPS double-Y baluns are investigated both theoretically, using 3D electromagnetic simulators and experimentally. Analysis shows two kinds of parasitic effects: (a) parasitic effects that depend on input transmission lines and they are caused by: (a) even mode and parasitic balanced mode (PBM) and (b) parasitic effects that depend on open and short circuited stubs forming the double-Y balun and they are observed in both regular mode and PBM. This theory has been experimentally proven and it enables to predict the frequency of parasitic resonances that appear in the characteristics of CWFGP-CPS baluns and shift them out of the operating frequency bandwidth by changing the physical dimensions of the balun

10.1109/EUMA.1991.336564 BibTeX Abstract A design of new uniplanar double balanced mixer with a high port to port isolation is presented. Through the use of novel CPW-slot double junction balun, the need for via holes and back metalization has been eliminated. Hence, this mixer can be easily adapted to monolithic integrated circuits. The mixer realized has superior characteristics in comparison to other uniplanar mixers published up to now. An operating bandwidth, characterized by more than 1:6 frequency ratio has been achieved, at up to 10 GHz, with a conversion loss of 6.0 to 8.5 dB and LO/RF isolation greater then 30 dB.
