“…RPRs have been studied extensively using rigorous full-wave analysis and various types of current expansion functions [2][3][4]. The proposed theoretical analysis is based on the Method of Moment (MoM) which is considered as a standard procedure to solve problems [5][6][7][8] such as the fundamental quantity of interest, namely the electric current distribution on the patch surface, from which all the other required resonator parameters can be obtained [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In the literature, three types of entire domain basis functions are widely used to expand the patch currents.…”

Abstract-In this paper, modeling and experimentation of a Rectangular Patch Resonator (RPR) covered with a dielectric superstrate are investigated.The RPR criteria are established theoretically and experimentally, to be used in future prospects as an electromagnetic (EM) sensor for the characterization of superstrates. The theoretical model is based on the moment method (MoM) via Galerkin's approach, in which three types of basis and testing functions are used. These functions as well as the spectral dyadic Green function are efficiently implanted with compact structured Fortran 90 codes. The EM commercial HFSS and CST Microwave Studio softwares are used to simulate the proposed RPR prototypes. The accuracy of the obtained results is assessed using four prototypes of RPRs operating around 6 GHz, taking into account only the resonant frequency of the fundamental dominant mode. The theoretical model is compared to simulation and measurement results, and very good agreements are observed.

“…In recent years, Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) systems have emerged as key technologies in providing high bandwidth communications services for the next generation cellular network (4G) and the wireless LAN 802.11n. MIMO exploits antenna arrays [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] that are coupled with smart antenna technology at both reference and mobile devices which facilitate the AOA estimation at both ends (referred to as bi-directional estimation). Localization using such principle has been explored in [21][22][23][24].…”

Abstract-This paper presents a comprehensive Non Line of Sight (NLOS) localization scheme in a multipath environment where the scatterers with smooth surfaces are aligned parallel or perpendicular to each other. It leverages on the estimation of Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time of Arrival (TOA) of the omni-directional mobile device's signal received at the reference devices. Unlike the conventional Line of Sight (LOS) localization schemes that rely on the various mitigation techniques to mitigate the multipaths that are mistaken as the LOS signal, our proposed two step localization scheme not only utilizes the LOS path but also any one bound scattering NLOS multipath arriving at the reference devices for localization. Channel experiment coupled with simulation results in a typical multipath environment has demonstrated that our proposed localization scheme outperforms the conventional localization schemes that are coupled with their own mitigation techniques. Robustness in performance of our proposed localization scheme towards different scatterers' orientation where they are not aligned parallel or perpendicular to each other are also investigated.

“…This is among the main advantages of AWSA arrays, which is open to more theoretical investigations in the future. As the main standard requirement for such an improvement, Green's function formulation of the annular waveguide and MoM analysis of the slotted annular waveguide (AWSA) are the vital steps to be performed as in other similar design approaches [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Abstract-Detailed procedure for Green's function derivation of an annular waveguide is presented in this paper for the first time. The proper components of the electromagnetic fields along with their corresponding Green's functions will be derived in a useful and applicable form. Based on the derived Green's functions, a proper set of integral equations are derived in a novel general form which MoM solution will lead to complete slot field distribution in the annular waveguide slot antenna (AWSA). The proposed theory is found having high value in circuit modelling and array design of such novel antenna structures in the future.
