Near-field switched loop antenna array with circular DGS for precise positioning systems 11

A near-field switched loop antenna array with a circular defected ground structure for precise positioning systems is presented. By switching the loop array, the positions of the densely placed small-sized radio frequency identification tags can be identified. The characteristics of the proposed array are verified by the comparisons to the simulated results and experimental measurements.

Rotated stacked Yagi antenna with circular polarization for IoT application 10

 This letter proposes a rotated stacked Yagi antenna with high directivity and circular polarization. The proposed antenna consists of three elements with a rotation angle and different lengths: a director, a reflector, and a driven element connected to the coaxial feeder. Each stacked element with different lengths is equally rotated at an angle of 60° with respect to the lower element so that the dipole array antenna forms a high directive circular polarization.

Open-loop Self-Adaptive WPT System for Spatial Freedom 5

 We propose a highly efficient wireless power transfer system with automatic impedance tuning control for practical applications with variable operating distances. Under misalignment between the transmitting and receiving antenna or any operating distance, the proposed distance-adaptive WPT system achieves an improved PTE of maximum 160% by minimizing the reflection coefficient in the transmitting system. It can be useful in wireless charging without the response of the portable receivin…
