In this paper, a compact dual-band Dolly-shaped antenna (DBDSA), resonating at 23.52 GHz and 28.39 GHz, is proposed for automotive radar, 5G, and Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) applications. The antenna is designed on a 7 × 7 × 1.28 mm which is 0.541λ×0.541λ×0.099λ in electric size, where λ represents the free space wavelength at 23.16 GHz. Rogers RO3010 substrate with a dielectric constant of 10.2 and a loss tangent is about 0.0022 has been used. Two F-shaped parasitic elements and a rectangular slot have been used to achieve the desired electromagnetic antenna performances. After modeling and optimizing the proposed antenna configuration through High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software, its prototype was manufactured and measured to validate the simulated results. The DBDSA achieves an overall radiation efficiency of 80% within the two operating frequency bands. The radar band exhibits a stable gain of 5.51 dBi, while the 5G band has a gain of 4.55 dBi. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the |S|≤-10 dB bandwidths are 1.16 GHz (23.16 GHz-24.32 GHz) in the lower band and 634 MHz (28.078 GHz-28.712 GHz), respectively. A good agreement is found between the simulated and measured results.

Infrared (IR) radiation thermography is extensively utilized in diverse fields due to its non-contact capability. Nevertheless, its effectiveness is often compromised by the significant emissivity variations among different objects, limiting its application to specific setups or focused object types. Colorimetric thermography is introduced as an alternative emissivity-independent method of radiation thermometry.

A conformal reflective metasurface fed by a dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed for low-cost beam steering applications in 5G Millimeter-wave frequency bands. The beam steering is accomplished by selecting a specific port of MIMO antenna. Each MIMO port is associated with a beam that points in a different direction due to a conformal reflective metasurface.
