Asymmetric chiral metamaterial circular polarizer based on twisted split-ring resonator

An asymmetric chiral metamaterial (CMM) circular polarizer based on bilayer twisted split-ring resonator structure was proposed and investigated. Both numerical simulations and experiments reveal that when a y-polarized wave is incident on this CMM propagating along backward (?z) direction, the two linear components of the transmitted wave have nearly equal amplitudes and 90°(?90°) phase difference at the resonant frequencies. This means that the right-hand circular polarization and left-hand circular polarization are realized in transmission at 6.4 and 8.1 GHz, respectively. The surface current distributions are studied to illustrate the transformation behavior for both circular polarizations. Further, the influences of the structural parameters of the circular polarizer to the transformation transmissions spectra have been investigated numerically.

Metamaterial-embedded dual wideband microstrip antenna for 2.4 GHz WLAN and 8.2 GHz ITU band applications

ABSTRACT

A compact dual-band antenna designed for operating in IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN (2.4–2.484?GHz) and ITU frequency bands (8.01–8.5?GHz) is presented in this communication. The antenna has two distinct resonant modes generated with the help of three U-shaped transmission lines and a modified ground plane. A periodic repeating pattern of metamaterial unit cells integrated on the same plane of the substrate has enhanced the antenna performances using improved loading method. The measured bandwidth of the metamaterial-embedded antenna is increased by 16% in the lower operating band and 6% in the upper operating band. The compact proposed antenna provides wide measured bandwidths of about 40% (2–3?GHz) in the lower and 16% (8.19–9.63?GHz) in the upper frequency spectra. The maximum measured gain of the proposed antenna is increased around 3.63?dB at 2.36?GHz and 1?dB at 8.45?GHz. The proposed antenna radiator is about 89.6% compact with respect to a conventional antenna. An excellent agreement of the simulation with the benchmark results validates the design of the proposed structure.     

Photonic generation of high-purity 60 GHz millimeter-wave signal requiring only 10 GHz radio frequency local oscillator

A novel approach to generate 60 GHz millimeter-wave from a 10 GHz radio frequency signal using an integrated nested DD-MZM without optical filter is proposed and demonstrated. The simulation results show that the generated frequency sextupling optical mm-wave has high purity with an OSSR exceeding 29 dB and a RFSSR of 25 dB, which is consistent with the theoretical analysis. Besides, a RoF link model is established to investigate the transmission performance. The eye diagram keeps clear even when the optical mm-wave is transmitted over 60 km and the power penalty is about 0.4 dB after fiber transmission of 50 km.

Results of the studies of acoustooptical interaction in a lithium niobate crystal upon excitation of an elastic wave in the direction of the X-axis by a multielement piezoelectric transducer at frequencies about 10 GHz are presented.

The frequency bandwidths at the levels of 3 and 6 dB of the maximum value are 2.5 and 3 GHz, respectively. The frequency resolution is 15 MHz at the frequency of 9 GHz.
