    Abstract: Investigations of surface p-i-n (S-PIN) diodes developed for silicon monolithic antennas with reconfigurable aperture have been described. The main criteria for choosing a suitable substrate for the S-PIN diodes have been extensively discussed. Based on this analysis, it has been found that dedicated silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates meet the requirements of efficient and lossless wave propagation. Experimental results shown in this paper confirm the applicability of SOI substrates for manufacturing of electrically reconfigurable slot apertures. The results show that S-PIN diodes realized on SOI substrates are suitable for various microwave and millimeter-wave applications.

    Abstract: The concept and results of investigation of a waveguide slot antenna with reconfigurable aperture is presented. Solutions are based on the utilized semiconductor material, which allows one to design the electronically reconfigurable antennas. The key element of the reconfigurable antenna is a surface PIN (SPIN) diode whose conductivity changes proportionally to the plasma density. SPIN structures can be activated selectively and cause, in turn, the generation of the desired shapes of radiation pattern. It allows one to extend the function possibilities of waveguide slot antennas compared with the conventional one.

Time-Modulated Antenna Array
  • G. Bogdan; Y. Yashchyshyn; M. Jarzynka, „Time-Modulated Antenna Array with Lossless Switching Network,” in IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters , vol.PP, no.99, pp.1-1
    doi: 10.1109/LAWP.2016.2538463
    Abstract: In this paper a novel architecture for a time– modulated antenna array (TMAA) based on single–pole double–throw (SPDT) switches is presented. The proposed TMAA has lossless switching network because there is no power loss during the OFF state. In addition to improved efficiency, this TMAA provides beam–scanning capabilities. Moreover, the proposed TMAA has a constant instantaneous directivity, which is favorable for some applications. The architecture has been implemented as an aperture–coupled patch antenna array and verified as a smart antenna in a digital wireless communication system

    Abstract: This paper concerns the study of the mm-wave reconfigurable antennas based on S-PIN diodes suitable for using in mm-wave communication systems. The investigated antennas were designed, fabricated, and subjected to the measurements in both steady and transient states. One selected antenna was incorporated into a wireless system to determine its suitability for operating in such a system as a time-modulated linear array. By means of appropriate switching of the antenna, multiple radio frequency (RF) chains were simulated in a receiver having only one RF chain. This allowed applying a combining technique for improving the system performance in a presence of a strong interfering signal.

    Abstract: This paper presents results of investigation on the radiation pattern generated with two-element Time Modulated Linear Array with single SP4T microwave switch. Utilization of SP4T switch instead of multiple SPST switches reduced an amount of power dissipated in matched loads and increased total efficiency. Due to the pulse-delay approach the null of radiation pattern has been continuously steered in a wide range of angles.

    doi: 10.1109/TIM.2015.2437631
    Abstract: In this paper a new interference technique for material permittivity determination in the extremely high frequency range using a vector network analyzer is described. The novelty of this technique is the absence of a reference interference channel and there is no need to rotate the experimental sample that simplifies the measurement process and increases its accuracy. In order to approve this technique, the respective experimental setup was designed. The setup structure and theoretical background of interference fringe minimum formation were described. Based on the quasi-optical principle of the setup operation, the formula for the calculation of the material permittivity was derived. Two different dielectric materials were subjected to test measurements using the created experimental setup. Obtained average values of permittivity in the 50÷70 GHz range are ε = 10.67 ± 0.09 and ε = 2.35 ± 0.03 for sapphire and optical glass, respectively. For the purposes of result verification, the time-domain processing technique was also applied to calculate the permittivity of these materials. Besides, the obtained data are compared with those reported in the literature.
