Abstract In this paper, a compact, efficient and easy to fabricate wearable antenna integrated with Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) is presented. Addition of slots and bevels/cuts in the rectangular monopole patch antenna yield a wide bandwidth along with band notches. The proposed antenna is backed with an AMC metasurface that changes the bidirectional radiation pattern to a unidirectional, thus, considerably reducing the Specific Absorption Ratio (SAR). The demonstrated antenna has a good coverage radiating away from the body and presents reduced radiation towards the body with a front-to-back ratio of 13 dB and maximum gain of 3.54 dB. The proposed design… More >

Abstract This study presents an Epsilon Mu near-zero (EMNZ) nanostructured metamaterial absorber (NMMA) for visible regime applications. The resonator and dielectric layers are made of tungsten (W) and quartz (fused), where the working band is expanded by changing the resonator layer's design. Due to perfect impedance matching with plasmonic resonance characteristics, the proposed NMMA structure is achieved an excellent absorption of 99.99% at 571 THz, 99.50% at 488.26 THz, and 99.32% at 598 THz frequencies. The absorption mechanism is demonstrated by the theory of impedance, electric field, and power loss density distributions, respectively. The geometric parameters are explored and analyzed to… More >

Abstract We designed and constructed a novel, compact tri-band monopole antenna for intelligent devices. Multiband behavior was achieved by placing inverted-L shaped stubs of various lengths in a triangular monopole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide. The resonance frequency of each band can be controlled by varying the length of the corresponding stub. Three bands, at 2.4 (2.37–2.51), 3.5 (3.34–3.71), and 5.5 (4.6–6.4) GHz, were easily obtained using three stubs of different lengths. For miniaturization, a portion of the longest stub (at 2.4 GHz) was printed on the opposite side of the substrate, and connected to the main stub via a… More >
