A compact composite right/left-handed (CRLH)-based dualband rectenna is proposed for electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesting at the operating frequencies of Wi-Fi (2.5 GHz) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) (3.6 GHz) bands. The rectenna consists of a dual-band antenna and dual-band rectifier. The antenna is realized in a microstrip topology using a balanced CRLH transmission

Provided that the exact kernel is used, the application of simple and popular numerical methods to Hall?n-type integral equations for increasing numbers of basis functions (or points per wavelength) yields sequences of driving-point conductance and susceptance that can be extrapolated via properly selected convergence acceleration methods (CAMs). Such methods can lead to accurate final or converged

Modern advances in the fields of antennas, propagation, microwaves, millimeter waves, remote sensing, photonics, and many other related sciences have driven the need for highly qualified theorists and practitioners in electromagnetic (EM) engineering. Rapid scientific progress, combined with ever-shifting technological priorities, has created an urgent need to train new generations of EM engineers

This article explores some dominant trends in teaching classical electromagnetic (EM) field theory in electrical engineering (EE) undergraduate curricula. The acronym EM will be used interchangeably to designate either electromagnetic or electromagnetism. The intended significance will be evident from the context.

Electromagnetics (EM) and its applications have been a vital part of scientific and engineering instruction for well over a century. As approaches, applications, and curricular models evolve, educators in the field face many challenges and pressures. Here, we consider issues that face those who teach EM theory, identify some of the trends and opportunities that lie ahead, and make recommendations for

The "flipped classroom" has become a popular teaching method. Students watch video lectures before class, saving time for active learning (problem solving, demonstrations, applications, and so forth). This article provides a useful guide for busy professors who would like to try the flipped-classroom approach. Recommendations for four teaching components are given: 1) planning the flipped classroom

Competence-oriented education aims to teach individuals the cognitive skills required to solve specific problems and the readiness needed to apply such solutions in versatile situations. We find that competence-oriented teaching is a promising paradigm in applied courses for antennas, propagation, and wireless communications. Competenceoriented laboratory courses are easy to implement when the mechanical

Innovative teaching methods that address paramount challenges in modern electromagnetic (EM) engineering education are presented. An entire ecosystem of novel and interconnected strategies and tools has been developed by the ELEDIA Research Center to build a long-term educational and training framework for future EM professionals. According to an ELEDIA “recipe,” students acquire higher self-confidence

In this article, we present mobile teaching and learning of coupled-line structures using the multiple-1D coupled-line finite-difference time-domain (M1D CL-FDTD) method. The formulation of the M1D CL-FDTD method applicable for CL structures is provided. The method bypasses the more computationally intensive full-wave 3D method, and it is well suited for implementation on mobile devices. Several mobile

Phased array (PA) and reflector antennas are widely used in spacecraft, aircraft, and ground communications applications. This article provides design equations and guidelines that engineering professsionals can use for the quick and reasonably accurate design of these antennas without resorting to time-consuming simulations. It also provides insight into the various parameters and their impact on

This article is the second part of a two-part article that presents a bottom-up description of electromagnetic chirality, which occurs in materials composed of particles with structural handedness.

Recounts the career and contributions of radio astronomer Prof. (Dame) Jocelyn Bell. Bell Burnell, born in Northern Ireland, went to the University of Cambridge in 1965 to pursue a Ph.D. degree in astronomy under Prof. Anthony Hewish. There she spent two years setting up more than 1,000 posts and hanging some 2,000 dipole antennas interconnected with 120 mi of wiring to build a new radio telescope

This article describes a set of simple experiments conducted at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder and Technische Universit?t (TU) Wien, for teaching electromagnetic (EM) waves in the third year of undergraduate studies [electrical and computer engineering (ECEN) 3400 and ECEN 3410 at CU Boulder and wave propagation at TU Wien]. The experiments require simple household items and basic undergraduate

Both empirical and ray-tracing models are powerful tools for studying propagation in indoor environments. Although the empirical models perform well in many cases, their physical significance is not clearly understood. Ray tracing is based on physics fundamentals, and its application as well as the interpretation of its results is more general. We compare the performance of both models for indoor environments

In this “Women in Engineering” column, we are reprinting a contribution by Prof. Mojgan Daneshmand, University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada), to honor her memory [S1]. Prof. Daneshmand, her husband, Prof. Pedram Mousavi, and their daughters, Daria and Dorina, were among the 167 passengers and crew members who lost their lives when the Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 crashed shortly after

In the second edition of this book, the author has increased the text from 637 to 938 pages and features eight new chapters. The decision to remove the material on computational electromagnetics is, in my opinion, justified, as the subject has since evolved into a separate field. Instead, the emphasis is on analytical (explicit) solutions of the Maxwell equations in various configurations and formulation

A ±45°, dual-polarized, high-isolation, 1 × 2 multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array for wideband microbase-station application is presented in this article. The proposed antenna element incorporates two perpendicular magnetic coupling feeding (MCF) networks and an H-shaped slot in the ground plane to improve the port isolation. Simulation results indicate that it has an isolation of

In this report, a Ku-band, compact, polarization-reconfigurable, multilayered, wideband antenna is proposed. Two orthogonal linear polarizations can be realized by switching the ON-OFF state of four p-i-n diodes that are embedded into the polarization-reconfigurable coupling slots. The p-i-n diode switches and capacitors are installed in the middle layer of the microwave multilayer board to reduce

A novel compact wideband circularly polarized (CP) directional loop antenna is presented in this article. The antenna is formed by an inner loop with periodic capacitive loading and an outer concentric loop, both of which are placed on the top side of a dielectric substrate and fed by nonradiating slots. A traveling-wave feed network is adopted to excite the slots, thereby providing the loops with

Pathloss-model calibration, or tuning, is the practice of refining the nominal parameters of a model according to measurement samples collected in a specific area. It is widely used by mobile providers because it can reduce error up to tens of decibels depending on the model category. It comes, however, at the expense of both time and monetary resources. Given the prohibitive amount of resources required
