  • Compact UWB Slotted Monopole Antenna with Diplexer for Simultaneous Microwave Energy Harvesting and Data Communication Applications
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 109, 169–186, 2021 Compact UWB Slotted Monopole Antenna with Diplexer for Simultaneous Microwave Energy Harvesting and Data Communication Applications Geriki Polaiah*, Krishnamoorthy Kandasamy, and Muralidhar Kulkarni Abstract—This paper proposes a new integration of compact ultra-wideband (UWB) slotted monopole antenna with a diplexer and rectifier for simultaneous energy harvesting and data communication applications. The antenna is composed of four symmetrical circularly slotted patches, a feed line, and a ground plane. A slotline open loop resonator based diplexer is implemented to separate the required signal from the antenna without extra matching circuit. A microwave rectifier based on the voltage doubler topology is designed for RF energy harvesting. The prototypes of the proposed antenna, diplexer, and rectifier are fabricated, measured, and compared with the simulation results. The measurement results show that the fractional impedance bandwidth of proposed UWB antenna reaches 149.7% (2.1 GHz–14.6 GHz); the diplexer minimum insertion losses (|S21|, |S31|) are 1.37 dB and 1.42 dB at passband frequencies; the output isolation (|S23|) is better than 30 dB from 1 GHz to 5 GHz; and the peak RF-DC conversion efficiency of the rectifier is 32.8% at an input power of −5dBm. The overall performance of the antenna with a diplexer and rectifier is also studied, and it is found that the proposed new configuration is suitable for simultaneous microwave energy harvesting and data communication applications. 1. INTRODUCTION Simultaneous wireless power transmission and communication is a promising technology that is intended to transmit power in free-space without wires and also provides data communication.

This design eliminates developing complex optimisation algorithm to achieve the the need for employing external junctions in diplexer design, as same function. Also, since the resultant diplexer in this paper is opposed to the conventional design approach which requires formed by coupling a section of the BPF resonators, onto a th separate junctions for energy distribution.

This is because the energy distributing resonators and measured. The diplexer is composed of 2 poles from the dual- (that is, the two DBF resonators), contribute one resonant pole band filter, 4 poles from the Tx bandpass filter, and the to the diplexer Tx channel and one resonant pole to the diplexer remaining 4 poles from the Rx bandpass filter. The design was implemented using asynchronously tuned microstrip square Rx channel. Therefore, the large size issue with the open-loop resonators.

    ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF MILLIMETRIC E-PLANE DIPLEXERS IN RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE -Antonio Morini, Tullio Rozzi Dipartimento di Elettronica e Automatica, Universitk di Ancona ABSTRACI A novel E-plane diplexer is proposed and discussed. Its feature is the matching section of the three-port junction, obtained by means of an E-plane septum, realized on the same mask as the branching filters and placed in the cavity of an abrupt E- plane junction. The latter is designed-in such-a way that, when combine d with two,reasbnably 7good filters, separately designed and suitably positioned, the resulting diplexer gives good performances without further optimization. This design technique, based on the properties of the scattering parameters of a reciprocal lossless three-portjunction, is , as such, of general validity and easily extended to other structures. INTRQD_UCTION The more expensive part of an E-plane circuit in rectangular waveguide for millimetric application is its housing. In fact, its fabrication requires high precision milling machines and it is difficult to: reduce tolerances below 10 t for each half housing. Therefore, it becomes important to simplify as much as possible the housing geometry, even increasing the complexity of the mask. For this reason, we study an E-plane diplexer based on an abrupt three-portjunction, in lieu of a tapered junction, Dittlof and Andt- (1-2), Vahldieck and Varailhon- de la Filolie(3), requiring more expensive mechanical construction. The junction is tuned by a single inductive post, built on the same mask as the E-plane filters and placed between the junction and the bifurcation, as shown in fig.1, Morini et al.

Microwave hazards.S-matrix – significance, formulation and properties.S-matrix representation of a multi port network, S-matrix of a two port network with mismatched load. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Microwaves are electromagnetic waves (EM) with wavelengths ranging from 10cm to 1mm. The corresponding frequency range is 30Ghz (=109 Hz) to 300Ghz (=1011 Hz) . This means microwave frequencies are upto infrared and visible-light regions. The microwaves frequencies span the following three major bands at the highest end of RF spectrum. i) Ultra high frequency (UHF) 0.3 to 3 Ghz ii) Super high frequency (SHF) 3 to 30 Ghz iii) Extra high frequency (EHF) 30 to 300 Ghz Most application of microwave technology make use of frequencies in the 1 to 40 Ghz range. During world war II , microwave engineering became a very essential consideration for the development of high resolution radars capable of detecting and locating enemy planes and ships through a Narrow beam of EM energy. The common characteristics of microwave device are the negative resistance that can be used for microwave oscillation and amplification.

  • VHF2-Way Radio Provisioning
    Standard Operating Procedure Updated: Apr 27, 2017 DOCUMENT NUMBER: SOP203 TITLE: VHF 2-Way Radio Provisioning PURPOSE: This document describes the required components and procedures for testing VHF radios. This document is intended for use by all field personnel at all Greenland and Alaska sites. If unit fails any part of the test then return unit to IT&C staff. BACKGROUND: Two-way radios (also called walkie-talkies), allowing for a few exceptions, all work essentially the same way. There is a battery that powers the unit which is typically rechargeable. Volume can often be controlled with the use of a knob or button on the unit itself. When using the radio to communicate, the transmission is activated with the use of a Push-To-Talk or "PTT" button. Simply press the PTT button and speak into the microphone and your voice is sent over the air! When the PTT button is released, the receiver becomes active, allowing other radios to communicate back. A two-way radio, in its most basic description, is a "transceiver". This means that it is a device that can both transmit and receive content. Radios communicate with one another using certain frequencies. The radios can "speak" to each other only when they are set to the same frequency. The two most popular frequency ranges that two-way radios use are called "VHF - Very High Frequency" and "UHF - Ultra High Frequency". VHF frequencies are best for exclusive outdoor use, as these frequencies will hug the ground and travel further in open areas. UHF frequencies, the more popular of the two, tend to penetrate obstructions and will work well both indoors and out.
