Article Synopsis
  • - The article presents two innovative port-based printed MIMO antenna designs that boast features like low profile, simple structure, and excellent performance metrics, including low reflection coefficients and good gain.
  • - The performance of these antenna structures is optimized through various modifications in design, with impressive results such as a reflection coefficient of -39.44 dB and a total gain of 5.23 dB, along with a broad frequency response from 1 GHz to 14 GHz.
  • - The antennas are created using low-profile materials for easy mass production and are suitable for wireless applications across multiple frequency bands, particularly S/C/X/Ka bands, with a comparison of simulated versus fabricated structures to validate their effectiveness.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak is being investigated by severe respirational syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) as a global health issue. It is crucial to propose sensitive and rapid coronavirus detectors. Herein, we propose a biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPRE) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Organic compound-based sensors are used in a variety of significant fields, including medical research, azeotropic calibration, vegetable oil extraction, the shoe industry and geothermal power plants. Here, a high-performance, two-dimensional material-based organic compound sensor has been proposed using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) nanostructure consisting of a BK7 glass prism, Ag, BaTiO, Ag, graphene and sensing layer. The reflectivity curves of the SPR device have been investigated when the sensing media are Pentane, n-Hexane, n-Heptane and n-Octane.

We proposed a novel approach based on a complementary split-ring resonator metamaterial in a two-port MIMO antenna, giving high gain, multiband results with miniature size. We have also analyzed a circular disk metasurface design. The designs are also defected using ground structure by reducing the width of the ground plane to 8 mm and etching all other parts of the ground plane.

The manuscript represents a novel square tooth-enabled superstrate metamaterial loaded microstrip patch antenna for the multiple frequency band operation. The proposed tooth-based metamaterial antenna provides better gain and directivity. Four antenna structures are numerically investigated for the different geometry of the patch and tooth.

MXene (TiCT) has emerged very recently as an interacting material for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) configuration. It was discovered that TiCT can facilitate the adsorption of biomolecules due to its higher binding energies, stronger interaction between matter and light, and larger surface area. In this work, a two-dimensional TiCT and silicon layer-based SPR refractometric sensor is proposed for the sensitive and fast detection of milk fat concentration due to the high significance of this issue to people all over the world.

As a result of the risks that waterborne bacteria bring to the human body, identifying them in drinking water has become a global concern. In this article, a highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor consisting of prism, Ag, graphene, affinity layer and sensing medium is proposed for rapid detection of the waterborne bacteria. Four SPR-based sensors are first studied with the structures prism/Ag/sensing medium, prism/Ag/affinity layer/sensing medium, prism/Ag/graphene/sensing medium, and prism/Ag/graphene/affinity layer/sensing medium.
