Transmitter and Receiver Isolation by Concentric Antenna Structure

Abstract

A concentric antenna structure with transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) isolation characteristic is proposed. For both cases that Tx and Rx use the same frequency or different frequencies, Tx leakage can be removed by the proposed antenna structure. The field couplings between antennas are mathematically presented and Tx leakage cancellation is theoretically examined. To theoretically verify the case that Tx and Rx use the same frequency, a set of 16 inverted-F antennas and a set of 4 inverted-F antennas are designed for Tx and Rx, respectively. For the case that Tx and Rx use different frequencies, a set of 4 monopole antennas is designed for Tx and Rx each. The measured result shows the Tx/Rx isolation characteristic of more than 50 dB.Index Terms-Bi-static antenna, concentric antenna, isolator, RF front-end, Tx leakage canceller.

Optically Transparent Conformal Reflectarray with Multi‐Angle Microwave Efficient Scattering Enhancement

“…Optically transparent electromagnetic devices play an important role in modern society, especially in satellite communication and solar energy harvesting applications. Transparent antennas can be mounted on vehicles, [ 1 ] solar panels, [ 2 ] aircraft windows and other carriers for wireless communication, [ 3 ] wireless energy harvesting, [ 4 ] aesthetic appearance and other functions, and are almost invisible to the human eye. The design of optically transparent electromagnetic devices usually focuses on two aspects.…”

Highly Scalable, Flexible, and Frequency Reconfigurable Millimeter‐Wave Absorber by Screen Printing VO2 Switch Array onto Large Area Metasurfaces

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16] Reconfigurable RF devices are required to realize compact size, cost-effectiveness, and multifunctionality. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Highly scalable RF devices, such as antenna arrays, or reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are essential to improve directivity or electromagnetic wave path control, particularly for 5G mmwave or 6G sub-THz applications. [26][27][28] Various tuning methods have been proposed for large-scale FAR devices, including organic transistors and printable transistors, [29][30][31][32] because conventional lumped tuning elements, such as a positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) or varactor diodes, have an issue that cost, rigid and need difficult soldering which is trouble for a large array or RIS.…”
