Introduction: Involuntary hospitalization of a patient with a mental disorder is broadly defined as the admission to an inpatient unit without the patient’s consent. Literature suggests that involuntary hospitalizations are associated with low levels of treatment satisfaction, avoidance of mental health care, and an increased risk of emergency involuntary re-hospitalization. Despite being a lifesaving treatment...
A low-cost single-layer substrate-integrated waveg uide (SIW) cavity-backed slot antenna is proposed for millimeter wave applications. The structure is designed to operate at the W-band. The T-shaped slot antenna is placed on the back-side of the SIW and fed by a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) transmission line. A transition between the (GCPW) and the SIW is also designed. The simulated results provide that...
In this paper, we describe the design of an electrically large anechoic chamber for usage on millimetre-wave bands. Ansys Savant sotware was used to perform a simulation of the chamber, using physical optics coupled with uniform theory of diffraction (PO/UTD). Moreover, a method based on an open waveguide probe is described in this paper to obtain the electrical properties of the RF absorbers at millimetre-wave...
In this paper, we describe the design of a dual polarized packaged patch antenna for 5G communications with improved isolation and bandwidth for K-band. We introduce a differential feeding technique and a heuristic-based design of a matching network applied to a single layer patch antenna with parasitic elements. This approach resulted in broader bandwidth, reduced layer count, improved isolation and radiation ...
In this letter, a packaged compact meander-line monopole antenna for Bluetooth communications, manufactured in low-density fan-out technology, is presented. A combined size for the antenna and ground plane of 0.1 lambda(0) x 0.06 lambda(0) x 0.008 lambda(0) is obtained. Such small antennas are usually designed considering their connection to an evaluation board with a large ground plane, which improves their ga...
In this paper we describe the design of a dual polarized packaged patch antenna for 5G communications with improved isolation and bandwidth for Ka-band. The results were validated using FEM and Momentum co-simulations in ADS. The novelty of the approach is the use of parasitic elements in the same layer to circumvent bandwidth limitations, thereby reducing the layer count in contrast to previous designs, combin...
The high permittivity of InP substrates has been a limiting factor for the bandwidth and efficiency of antennas fabricated in this material. In this manuscript we propose an elliptical monopole, monolithically fabricated in InP, fed by a CPW line. The suggested topology was simulated using HFSS finite element method. Input reflection coefficient measurements were performed on the monopole to validate the propos...
