An antipodal Vivaldi antenna with band-notched characteristics for ultra-wideband applications

An antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) with band-notched characteristics is proposed in this paper for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. For UWB systems, there will be some interference from the narrow band systems. The proposed antenna adopts resonant parallel strip (RPS) to reject an unwanted narrow band. It is easy to tune the RPS to eliminate the interference band. To validate this approach, a printed AVA with RPS is simulated and fabricated. From 2 to 9 GHz, the proposed antenna shows a good result with approximate 2:1 VSWR, an average gain of 6.5 dB, and stable radiation patterns except the notched band. At the center frequency of the notched band, the measured results show that the VSWR is more than 8:1, the realized gain is less than −10 dB and a messy radiation pattern is achieved. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.     

Self-intersection detection and elimination in freeform curves and surfaces

We present several algorithms for self-intersection detection, and possible elimination, in freeform planar curves and surfaces. Both local and global self-intersections are eliminated using a binormal-line criterion and a simple direct algebraic elimination procedure that enables the direct solution of the algebraic (self-)intersection constraints.All algorithms have been fully implemented and tested. Examples are presented for applications in self-intersection detection, self-intersection-free metamorphosis of curves, and proper trimming of self-intersections in offset curves.

Low Conversion Loss Mixers with Improved Finline Transition and Bandstop Filter

A Ka-Band hybrid integrated single-ended mixer with low conversion loss is designed in this paper. In the proposed circuit architecture, metallic via holes are implemented along the mounting edge of substrate embedded in the split-block of WG (waveguide)-finline-microstrip transition. Simulated results show that the effect of high-order modes due to the mounting groove is effectively eliminated and the transition loss is greatly improved. Meanwhile, a slow wave and bandstop filter at Ka band, which presents an equivalent short circuit, is designed for the maximized utilization of idle frequency energy, RF and LO signal energy. In this way, the conversion loss of the mixer can be further improved. The lowest measured conversion loss 3.52dB is obtained at 32.2 GHz; the conversion loss is flat and less than 5.68dB over the frequency band from 29 to 34 GHz.

Symmetric circular models through duplication and cosine perturbation

Models for circular data displaying two diametrically opposed modes are considered. A general construction which can be used to generate such models, founded upon doubling the argument of a base symmetric unimodal distribution and cosine perturbation, is proposed. Fundamental properties of the resulting models are described, as are those of a particularly flexible family of distributions and three of its submodels. Parameter estimation via the method of moments and maximum likelihood is discussed, and a likelihood-ratio test for antipodal symmetry developed. The application of the proposed models and inferential methods is illustrated using two animal orientation data sets.     

A Constant Gain and Miniaturized Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna for 5G Communication Applications

This paper proposes a stable gain and a compact Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (AVA) for a 38 GHz band of 5G communication. A novel compact AVA is designed to provide constant gain, high front to back ratio (FBR), and very high efficiency. The performance of the proposed AVA is enhanced with the help of a dielectric lens (DL) and corrugations. A rectangular-shaped DL is incorporated in conventional AVA (CAVA) to enhance its gain up to 1 dBi and the bandwidth by 1.8 GHz. Next, the rectangular corrugations are implemented in CAVA with lens (CAVA-L) to further improve the gain and bandwidth. The proposed AVA with lens and corrugations (AVA-LC) gives a constant and high gain of 8.2 to 9 dBi. The designed AVA-LC operates from 34 to 45 GHz frequency which covers 38 GHz (37.5 to 43.5 GHz) band of 5G applications. Further, the presented AVA-LC mitigates the back lobe and sidelobe levels, resulting in FBR and efficiency improvement. The FBR is in the range of 12.2  to 22 dB, and efficiency is 99%, almost constant. The AVA-LC is fabricated on Roger’s RT/duroid 5880 substrate, and it is tested to verify the simulated results. The proposed compact AVA-LC with high gain, an improved FBR, excellent efficiency, and stable radiation patterns is suitable for the 38 GHz band of 5G devices.
