Phase center of antennas in design of satellite antenna payloads is an important parameter that could be used to manipulate the antenna radiation patterns. Two design examples are shown, one for reflector antennas and the other for phased arrays, where phase center plays a key role in shaping the antenna radiation patterns to meet the requirements. These include antenna designs with frequency-vari...Show More
In 5G and 6G systems, Bit Error Rate (BER) is a critical performance metric for evaluating the dependability and data transmission quality of communication networks. In order to lower BER values, particularly in challenging channel conditions, 5G and 6G systems employ advanced algorithms. These systems commonly employ error-correcting codes like Turbo codes, Polar codes, or LDPC (Low-Density Parit...Show More
This article describes a new technique for enhancing the bandwidth of substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-supported slot antennas with symmetrical triangular perturbed cavities. One way the cavity-backed antenna feeding method has been modified is by employing offset feeding of a microstrip line and a transition from the microstrip to the grounded coplanar waveguide. This helps to excite t...Show More

Today's radar technology demands the use of huge aperture antenna arrays for detection and tracking of targets from a range of hundreds of kilometers. This results in a complex RF manifold where a large number of RF channels in parallel are provided as input to the radar receiver. Subsequently, these inputs are digitized and forwarded to a real time embedded hardware for further processing. Since ...Show More
An accurate and least complexity millimeter-wave three-ray pathloss model with polarization effects was developed for indoor SISO scenarios and implemented in MATLAB. The TE polarized pathloss had larger variations than the TM polarized one. Then, validation using ray tracing gave path losses in an indoor corridor with median differences of 3.016 dB LOS, 1.873 dB NLOS floor, and 2.286 dB NLOS roof...Show More
