  • Researchers examined how the thickness of graphene affects its sheet resistance to determine the optimal thickness needed for effective antenna performance.
  • The findings showed that using graphene allowed for the suppression of the first harmonic at 2.45 GHz while enabling radiation at the second harmonic of 5.75 GHz, indicating the potential to adjust antenna properties by altering the graphene layer thickness.

Article Abstract

The possibility of creating antennas of the 5G standard (5.2-5.9 GHz) with specified electrodynamic characteristics by printing layers of variable thickness using a graphene suspension has been substantiated experimentally and by computer simulation. A graphene suspension for screen printing on photographic paper and other flexible substrates was prepared by means of exfoliation from graphite. The relation between the graphene layer thickness and its sheet resistance was studied with the aim of determining the required thickness of the antenna conductive layer. To create a two-sided dipole, a technology has been developed for the double-sided deposition of graphene layers on photographic paper. The electrodynamic characteristics of graphene and copper antennas of identical design are compared. The antenna design corresponds to the operating frequency of 2.4 GHz. It was found that the use of graphene as a conductive layer made it possible to suppress the fundamental (first) harmonic (2.45 GHz) and to observe radiation at the second harmonic (5.75 GHz). This effect is assumed to observe in the case when the thickness of graphene is lower than that of the skin depth. The result indicates the possibility of changing the antenna electrodynamic characteristics by adjusting the graphene layer thickness.

Nonlinearity is a crucial characteristic for implementing hardware security primitives or neuromorphic computing systems. The main feature of all memristive devices is this nonlinear behavior observed in their current-voltage characteristics. To comprehend the nonlinear behavior, we have to understand the coexistence of resistive, capacitive, and inertia (virtual inductive) effects in these devices.

High-harmonic generation (HHG) is a nonlinear process in which a material sample is irradiated by intense laser pulses, causing the emission of high harmonics of incident light. HHG has historically been explained by theories employing a classical electromagnetic field, successfully capturing its spectral and temporal characteristics. However, recent research indicates that quantum-optical effects naturally exist or can be artificially induced in HHG, such as entanglement between emitted harmonics.

Power control of an autonomous wind energy conversion system based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator with integrated pumping storage.

Sci Rep

November 2024

Department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering and Diagnostics of Electrical Equipment, Institute of Electrodynamics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Beresteyskiy, 56, Kyiv-57, Kyiv, 03680, Ukraine.

Wind energy plays a crucial role as a renewable source for electricity generation, especially in remote or isolated regions without access to the main power grid. The intermittent characteristics of wind energy make it essential to incorporate energy storage solutions to guarantee a consistent power supply. This study introduces the design, modeling, and control mechanisms of a self-sufficient wind energy conversion system (WECS) that utilizes a Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) in conjunction with a Water pumping storage station (WPS).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how the source level of an electrodynamic transducer, which uses a passive pressure compensation airbag, decreases in ultra-low frequency bands (<100 Hz) as depth increases, especially in deep water (>200 m).
  • - A theoretical model using a distributed-parameter equivalent circuit was developed to understand this phenomenon and found that the decrease in acoustic compliance at greater depths raises the resonant frequency, leading to a lower source level.
  • - Tests confirm that a distributed-parameter model accurately predicts resonant frequencies in deep water and demonstrate that using active pressure compensation can significantly enhance acoustic performance in ultra-low frequencies at larger depths.
