Using Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), we report on intensity-dependent broadening in graphene-deposited broad-band antennas. The antenna gain curve includes both the incident frequency and some of the scattered mode frequencies. By comparing antennas with various gaps and types (bow-tie vs. diamond-shape antennas) we make the case that the line broadening did not originate from strain, thermal or surface potential. Strain, if present, further shifts and broadens those Raman lines that are included within the antenna gain curve.
A novel design strategy for improving the radiative performance of simultaneous multibeam (SMB) phased arrays is addressed. The proposed scheme relies on the adoption of mixed and multiple antenna element factors with a dynamic selection of their radiation patterns whose choice depends on the desired SMB pointing directions. In addition, a Penrose-inspired clustering technique is also employed for reducing the array feed points.

In terahertz communication systems, lens antennas used in transceivers are basically plano-convex dielectric lenses. The size of a plano-convex lens increases as the aperture increases, and thinner lenses have longer focal lengths. Through theory and simulation, we designed a Fresnel lens suitable for the terahertz band to meet the requirements of large aperture and short focal length, and simulated the performance, advantages, and disadvantages of the terahertz Fresnel lens.
This study investigates the use of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) as an effective feeding mechanism for antennas functioning within the extremely high-frequency (EHF) range. A novel method is proposed for feeding a dielectric rod antenna with SSPPs, featuring a simple design made from FR-4 material with a relative permittivity of 4.3.
The rise of CubeSats has unlocked opportunities for cutting-edge space missions with reduced costs and accelerated development timelines. CubeSats necessitate a high-gain antenna that can fit within a tightly confined space. This paper is primarily concerned with designing a compact Ku-band offset cylindrical reflector antenna for a CubeSat-based Earth Observation mission, with the goal of monitoring Arctic snow and sea ice.
This paper presents an innovative, compact, dual-element, implantable, ultra-wideband, circularly polarized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna designed to operate within the 2.45 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band, and both of its radiating units are circularly polarized antennas with polarization diversity. Specifically, antenna-1 exhibits left-handed circular polarization properties, while antenna-2 demonstrates right-handed circular polarization properties.
