This work presents the existence of the mode conversion technique in a graphene-based Yagi-Uda array antenna. It comprises four arrays whose strands are placed on a silicon dioxide substrate, and are eventually connected with the graphene ring. All four driven elements of the Yagi-Uda array antenna are excited through the 50 silver nanostrip feedline. The proposed antenna offers mode conversion due to variation of the chemical potential of graphene. It controls conversion of the to mode of the antenna. This is attributed to the change in the biasing voltage of graphene. This in turn shifts the radiation pattern from the end-fire to the broadside direction, which effectively confirms the beam reconfigurability. This antenna provides a high directivity of 12.21 dBi at 4.55 THz center frequency. The proposed antenna is designed and analyzed by using CST Microwave Studio, which is based on the finite difference time domain scheme. The beam steered graphene-based antenna has been utilized for several terahertz communication systems.

Thermal inversions, typical in the winter season, consist of cold air at the Earth's surface being trapped under a layer of warmer air. Such an effect keeps normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through. This phenomenon highly increases the toxicity of the atmosphere, while modifying its dielectric constant, resulting in major implications in terms of public health and wireless communications.

Abstract: In honor of Professor Kurt Becker's pioneering contributions to microplasma physics and applications, we report the capabilities of arrays of microcavity plasmas in two emerging and disparate applications. The first of these is the generation of ultrasound radiation in the 20-240 kHz spectral range with microplasmas in either a static or jet configuration. When a array of microplasma jets is driven by a 20-kHz sinusoidal voltage, for example, harmonics as high as = 12 are detected and are produced by controlling the spatial symmetry of the emitter array.

This article presents a technique for transforming the polarization of a pyramidal horn antenna by adding multiple layers of frequency-selective surfaces in front of the aperture, in order to rotate the direction of the electric field. Thus, two orthogonal components with the same magnitude, phase-shifted by 90°, are generated. Each frequency-selective surface consists of skewed /2 dipoles.
