Beam steerable MIMO antenna based on conformal passive reflective metasurface for 5G millimeter wave applications.

A conformal reflective metasurface fed by a dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed for low-cost beam steering applications in 5G Millimeter-wave frequency bands. The beam steering is accomplished by selecting a specific port of MIMO antenna. Each MIMO port is associated with a beam that points in a different direction due to a conformal reflective metasurface. This novel conformal metasurface antenna design has the advantages of higher gain, lower cost, a simpler feeding source, and a lower profile when compared to traditional reflective metasurfaces using bulky horn antennas and phased arrays with complex feeding networks and phase shifters for beam steering. The proposed beam steering antenna consists of a compact five-element dual-band MIMO and a 32 × 32 unit-cell conformal dual-band reflective metasurface placed at the top of the MIMO antenna to obtain the beam steering capability as well as gain enhancement. The proposed reflective metasurface has a stable response under oblique incidence angles of up to 60 0 at 24 GHz and 38 GHz and its symmetric, single-layer structure, ensures polarization insensitivity and stable response under conformal conditions. The presented MIMO antenna design is not only compact but also offers a wideband response effectively covering the desired 5G mm-wave frequency bands. The overall size of the MIMO antenna alone is 70 × 12 mm 2 with a maximum gain of 5.4 and 7.2 dB. It is further improved up to 13.1 and 14.2 dB at 24 and 38 GHz respectively, with a beam steering range of s 40 0 by using a conformal reflective metasurface. Unlike the existing beam steering strategies, the suggested method is not only cost-effective but also increases the overall directivity and gain of the source MIMO antenna. The measured results agree with the simulated results, making it a potential candidate in the 5G and beyond beam steering applications.

The influence of eyelashes on electric field distribution and absorbed power density in the cornea under millimeter-wave exposure.

As millimeter wave (MMW) technology, particularly in fifth-generation (5G) devices, gains prominence, there is a crucial need for comprehensive electromagnetic (EM) models of ocular tissues to understand and characterize EM exposure conditions accurately. This study employs numerical modeling to investigate the interaction between MMW and the cornea, aiming to characterize EM field distributions and absorption within an anatomically accurate eye model while considering the influence of eyelashes. Using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we conduct simulations of EM radiation interactions from 20.0 to 100.0 GHz with a human eye model. Moreover, we analyze the temperature distribution increase within the eye model using a thermal sensor in XFdtd, employing a scheme based on the finite difference (FD) method. Our findings reveal a nonuniform distribution of the EM field, particularly intensified in corneal regions adjacent to eyelashes and eyelids. Despite similar EM field patterns, the presence or absence of eyelashes has minimal impact on temperature differences. However, the study highlights increased radiation absorption by the eyelid's epidermis at 100.0 GHz, reducing the rise in the cornea's temperature.

A High Gain Circularly Polarized Slot Antenna Array for 5G Millimeter-Wave Applications.

An air-filled substrate-integrated waveguide (AF-SIW) circularly polarized (CP) 1 × 8 mm wave antenna array is presented for fifth-generation (5G) applications. The presented slot antenna array consists of three layers of PCB and one layer of aluminum, which serve as the AF-SIW feeding network and the metal cavity radiation element, respectively. The CP characteristic is achieved by the use of an S-shaped aluminum radiation cavity on the top of the AF-SIW feeding network. The air-filled substrate-integrated waveguide technique is unitized to achieve high radiation efficiency. A wide input impedance bandwidth of 18.4% is obtained for the proposed antenna scheme, ranging from 34.5 GHz to 41.5 GHz, with a peak gain of 18 dBic. As for CP characteristic, the proposed antenna possesses a wide 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth, which is 16.4% (36.5 GHz to 43 GHz). The antenna scheme is fabricated and measured to verify the potential application as well as the promising performance. The measured results of the 1 × 8 antenna array shows that the wide AR as well as the input impedance are simultaneously achieved, which coincide well with the simulated results. Also, the measured results indicate that the proposed antenna scheme might be a good candidate for future mobile applications.

A V-Band Wideband Power Amplifier with High Gain in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS Process.

This paper introduces a high-gain wideband power amplifier (PA) designed for V-band applications, operating across 52 to 65 GHz. The proposed PA design employs a combination of techniques, including pole-gain distribution, base-capacitive peaking, and the parallel configuration of multiple small-sized transistors. These strategies enable significant bandwidth extension while maintaining high gain, substantial output power, and a compact footprint. A two-stage PA using the combination technique was developed and fabricated in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS process. The PA prototype achieved a peak gain of 27.3 dB at 64 GHz, with a 3 dB bandwidth exceeding 13 GHz and a fractional bandwidth greater than 22.2%. It delivered a maximum saturated output power of 19.7 dBm and an output 1 dB compression point of 18 dBm. Moreover, the PA chip occupied a total silicon area of 0.57 mm2, including all testing pads with a compact core size of 0.198 mm2.

Millimeter wave radiation to measure blood flow in healthy human subjects.

Objective.Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a progressive cardiovascular condition affecting 8-10 million adults in the United States. PAD elevates the risk of cardiovascular events, but up to 50% of people with PAD are asymptomatic and undiagnosed. In this study, we tested the ability of a device, REFLO (Rapid Electromagnetic FLOw), to identify low blood flow using electromagnetic radiation and dynamic thermography toward a non-invasive PAD diagnostic.Approach.During REFLO radio frequency (RF) irradiation, the rate of temperature increase is a function of the rate of energy absorption and blood flow to the irradiated tissue. For a given rate of RF energy absorption, a slow rate of temperature increase implies a large blood flow rate to the tissue. This is due to the cooling effect of the blood. Post-irradiation, a slow rate of temperature decrease is associated with a low rate of blood flow to the tissue. Here, we performed two cohorts of controlled flow experiments on human calves during baseline, occluded, and post-occluded conditions. Nonlinear regression was used to fit temperature data and obtain the rate constant, which was used as a metric for blood flow.Main results.In the pilot study, (N= 7) REFLO distinguished between baseline and post-occlusion during the irradiation phase, and between baseline and occlusion in the post-irradiation phase. In the reliability study, (N= 5 with 3 visits each), two-way ANOVA revealed that flow and subject significantly affected skin heating and cooling rates, while visit did not.Significance.Results suggest that MMW irradiation can be used to distinguish between blood flow rates in humans. Utilizing the rate of skin cooling rather than heating is more consistent for distinguishing flow. Future modifications and clinical testing will aim to improve REFLO's ability to distinguish between flow rates and evaluate its ability to accurately identify PAD.

Experimental investigations of dual functional substrate integrated waveguide antenna with enhanced directivity for 5G mobile communications.

Antennas with higher gain and efficiency deliver superior performance across a wide frequency range. Achieving these characteristics at high frequencies while keeping a compact size necessitates sophisticated design approaches. This research presents a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed slotted patch antenna (SPA) tailored for the 28 GHz and 34 GHz frequency bands. Additionally, a linear tapered slot antenna is designed with a compact profile of 27.5 mm × 7.5 mm × 0.254 mm. The SIWs are implemented using vias on the outer profile of the antenna, and circular and rectangular slots are etched on the radiating surface. The goal of optimizing the antenna geometry is to enhance return loss within the desired frequency bandwidth, which means the Genetic Algorithm (GA) will determine the optimal antenna shape to achieve lower return loss than the original design within this bandwidth. The antenna exhibits dual resonance at 28 GHz and 38 GHz in the millimeter-wave range, providing an impedance bandwidth of 211 MHz (27.72 GHz-27.94 GHz) at 28 GHz and 127 MHz (37.88 GHz-37.98 GHz) centered at 38 GHz. The proposed antenna demonstrates gains of 8.04 dBi and 9.72 dBi at these operating bands. A prototype of the antenna is fabricated on RT/duroid 5880 and its characteristics are measured. The overall VSWR of the antenna ranges from 1 to 2, with a radiation efficiency of 94 %. The proposed antenna achieves dual-band performance with increased directivity and stable gain, exhibiting enhanced electric field distribution, radiation patterns, and reflection coefficient (S11), all of which contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the antenna's performance. This study compares the designed antenna's performance to that of the fabricated prototype. The proposed antenna is ideal for 5G applications due to its small size, broad spectral coverage, and excellent gain.

Dual-band millimetre wave MIMO antenna with reduced mutual coupling based on optimized parasitic structure and ground modification.

In this study, a high-isolation dual-band (28/38 GHz) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for 5G millimeter-wave indoor applications is presented. The antenna consists of two interconnected patches. The primary patch is connected to the inset feed, while the secondary patch is arc-shaped and positioned over the main patch, opposite to the feed. Both patches function in the lower 28 GHz band, while the primary patch is accountable for inducing the upper 38 GHz band. An expedited trust-region (TR) algorithm is employed to optimize the dimensions of the antenna components, ensuring the antenna operates efficiently with high reflection at both bands. The antenna demonstrates a gain exceeding 7 dBi at both frequencies. An array of four antennas is configured orthogonally to create a MIMO system with isolation surpassing 19 dB. The isolation is further enhanced through the addition of a circular parasitic patch at the front and modifications made to the ground. The TR method is employed again to optimize their parameters and achieve the desired isolation, exceeding 32 dB at both bands. The MIMO system demonstrates outstanding diversity performance at both frequencies, characterized by low values of the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) (< 10 - 4), channel capacity loss (CCL) (< 0.03 bit/s/Hz), and total active reflection coefficient (TARC) (< - 10 dB). Additionally, it secures a diversity gain (DG) exceeding 9.99 dB. The MIMO system is manufactured and tested, showing good alignment between simulation and measurement data for all performance metrics.

A Wideband Millimeter-Wave Dual-Beam Dielectric Resonator Antenna with Substrate Integration Capability.

A wideband dual-beam dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with substrate integration capability was proposed for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications. The four rows of air vias along the x-direction and two extended rectangular patches could shift the undesirable radiation mode upward and move the conical-beam radiation mode downward, respectively. Thus, the TE211 mode and the TE411 mode of the patch-loaded perforated rectangular substrate integrated dielectric resonator (SIDR) supporting the dual-beam radiation can be retained in the operating band, and their radiation can be improved by the air vias along the y-direction. The T-shaped line coupled dual-slot structure could excite the above two modes, and a dual-slot mode supporting dual-beam radiation could also work. Then, a wideband DRA with a stable dual-beam radiation angle can be achieved, and its impedance matching can be improved by two air slots on two sides. Compared with the state-of-the-art dual-beam antennas, the proposed antenna shows a wider bandwidth, a higher radiation efficiency, and the substrate integration capability of DRA, making it more suitable for mm-wave applications. For demonstration, a 1 × 4 array was designed with the 10 dB impedance matching bandwidth of 41.2% and the directions of the dual beams between ±30° and ±35°.

Advances in Millimeter-Wave Treatment and Its Biological Effects Development.

This comprehensive review critically examines the current state of research on the biological effects of millimeter-wave (MMW) therapy and its potential implications for disease treatment. By investigating both the thermal and non-thermal impacts of MMWs, we elucidate cellular-level alterations, including changes in ion channels and signaling pathways. Our analysis encompasses MMW's therapeutic prospects in oncology, such as inducing apoptosis, managing pain, and modulating immunity through cytokine regulation and immune cell activation. By employing a rigorous methodology involving an extensive database search and stringent inclusion criteria, we emphasize the need for standardized protocols to enhance the reliability of future research. Although MMWs exhibit promising therapeutic potential, our findings highlight the urgent need for further elucidation of non-thermal mechanisms and rigorous safety assessments, considering the intricate nature of MMW interactions and inconsistent study outcomes. This review underscores the importance of focused research on the biological mechanisms of MMWs and the identification of optimal frequencies to fully harness their therapeutic capabilities. However, we acknowledge the challenges of variable study quality and the necessity for advanced quality control measures to ensure the reproducibility and comparability of future investigations. In conclusion, while MMW therapy holds promise as a novel therapeutic modality, further research is imperative to unravel its complex biological effects, establish safety profiles, and optimize treatment protocols before widespread clinical application.

Development of a High-Sensitivity Millimeter-Wave Radar Imaging System for Non-Destructive Testing.

There is an urgent need to develop non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for infrastructure facilities and residences, etc., where human lives are at stake, to prevent collapse due to aging or natural disasters such as earthquakes before they occur. In such inspections, it is desirable to develop a remote, non-contact, non-destructive inspection method that can inspect cracks as small as 0.1 mm on the surface of a structure and damage inside and on the surface of the structure that cannot be seen by the human eye with high sensitivity, while ensuring the safety of the engineers inspecting the structure. Based on this perspective, we developed a radar module (absolute gain of the transmitting antenna: 13.5 dB; absolute gain of the receiving antenna: 14.5 dB) with very high directivity and minimal loss in the signal transmission path between the radar chip and the array antenna, using our previously developed technology. A single-input, multiple-output (SIMO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system was developed using this module. As a result of various performance evaluations using this system, we were able to demonstrate that this system has a performance that fully satisfies the abovementioned indices. First, the SNR in millimeter-wave (MM-wave) imaging was improved by 5.4 dB compared to the previously constructed imaging system using the IWR1443BOOST EVM, even though the measured distance was 2.66 times longer. As a specific example of the results of measurements on infrastructure facilities, the system successfully observed cracks as small as 0.1 mm in concrete materials hidden under glass fiber-reinforced tape and black acrylic paint. In this case, measurements were also made from a distance of about 3 m to meet the remote observation requirements, but the radar module with its high-directivity and high-gain antenna proved to be more sensitive in detecting crack structures than measurements made from a distance of 780 mm. In order to estimate the penetration length of MM waves into concrete, an experiment was conducted to measure the penetration of MM waves through a thin concrete slab with a thickness of 3.7 mm. As a result, Λexp = 6.0 mm was obtained as the attenuation distance of MM waves in the concrete slab used. In addition, transmission measurement experiments using a composite material consisting of ceramic tiles and fireproof board, which is a component of a house, and experiments using composite plywood, which is used as a general housing construction material in Japan, succeeded in making perspective observations of defects in the internal structure, etc., which are invisible to the human eye.

Antenna Integration for Millimeter-Wave RF Sensing and Millimeter-Wave Communication Mountable on a Platform.

An array antenna for millimeter-wave communication and an array antenna for millimeter-wave sensing are designed and put together into one structure. Because millimeter-wave signals become weaker fast with the increasing distance and any kind of error in the required functions of the antenna has to be minimized, pointing error from the target direction should be prevented. The device is a millimeter-wave sensing antenna with high directivity to check the straight link between the TX and RX sides of wireless communication. A 24 GHz 8-by-16 array antenna which generates stronger signals for sensing resolves the drawback of a 28 GHz 1-by-4 array antenna that is commonly seen in 5G wireless terminals. The sensing and communication antennas are integrated as a planar structure mountable on platforms, which is investigated with regard to forming wireless links over a distance of several meters with an input power of less than 0 dBm. Additionally, in the event of a reflecting surface disturbing the straight path and worsening the pointing error in RF signal transfer, the dual-capability of the combination is presented on the basis of intuitive electromagnetic experiments.

Enhancing Road Safety: Fast and Accurate Noncontact Driver HRV Detection Based on Huber-Kalman and Autocorrelation Algorithms.

Enhancing road safety by monitoring a driver's physical condition is critical in both conventional and autonomous driving contexts. Our research focuses on a wireless intelligent sensor system that utilizes millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar to monitor heart rate variability (HRV) in drivers. By assessing HRV, the system can detect early signs of drowsiness and sudden medical emergencies, such as heart attacks, thereby preventing accidents. This is particularly vital for fully self-driving (FSD) systems, as it ensures control is not transferred to an impaired driver. The proposed system employs a 60 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar placed behind the driver's seat. This article mainly describes how advanced signal processing methods, including the Huber-Kalman filtering algorithm, are applied to mitigate the impact of respiration on heart rate detection. Additionally, the autocorrelation algorithm enables fast detection of vital signs. Intensive experiments demonstrate the system's effectiveness in accurately monitoring HRV, highlighting its potential to enhance safety and reliability in both traditional and autonomous driving environments.

A novel frequency 32-tupling ROF system without bit walk-off effect based on MZM with inserting pilot.

A novel scheme for a frequency 32-tupling millimeter wave (MMW) radio over fiber(ROF) system without the bit walk-off effect is proposed. The operation principle and feasibility of our proposed scheme are theoretically analyzed and verified with simulation experiments. The main part of our scheme is a ±16th order sidebands generator (SG) which is constructed by eight Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM) connected in parallel. In the back-to-back(BTB) transmission case, by properly adjusting the voltage and initial phase of the radio frequency (RF) drive signals of the MZMs, ±16th order sidebands are generated by the SG. In the data transmission case, the data signal is split into two beams first, one of which modulates the RF drive signal with an electrical phase modulator (PM), and the other is amplified by an electrical gainer (EG), and then the two beams are combined into one and used as the RF drive signal of the MZMs. By adjusting the modulation index of the PM and the gain of the EG, the data signal can be modulated only to the +16th order sideband of the output of the SG. The optical carrier from the CW laser is split into two paths, one is sent into the SG, and the other is used as a pilot. The output signal of SG is combined with the pilot signal and is transmitted to the base station(BS) via optical fiber. In BS, the pilot signal is filtered out by an FBG and used as the carrier for uplink for carrier reuse. After filtering out the pilot, the signal from the FBG which is ±16th order sidebands is injected into the photodetector, and a frequency 32-tupling MMW with downlink data is generated. The influence on the bit error rate (BER) and Q factor by the key parameters in the system is also analyzed. Our scheme can not only effectively overcome the bit walk-off effect caused by optical fiber chromatic dispersion, greatly increase the fiber transmission distance, but also effectively improve the performance of the downlink, it has important application prospects in ROF systems.

A New Method for Detecting Dehydration of the Human Body Using Non-Contact Millimeter Wave Radiometry.

Dehydration is a common problem in the aging population. Medical professionals can detect dehydration using either blood or urine tests. This requires experimental tests in the lab as well as urine and blood samples to be obtained from the patients. This paper proposed 100 GHz millimeter wave radiometry for early detection of dehydration. Reflectance measurements were performed on healthy and dehydrated patients of both genders (120 males and 80 females) in the aging population. Based on the cause of dehydration, the patient groups were divided into three categories: (1) patients dehydrated due to less thirst sensation, (2) patients dehydrated due to illnesses (vomiting and diarrhea), and (3) patients dehydrated due to diabetes. Reflectance measurements were performed on eight locations: (1) the palm, (2) the back of the hand, (3) the fingers, (4) the inner wrist, (5) the outer wrist, (6) the volar side of the arm, (7) the dorsal surface of the arm, and (8) the elbow. Skin dehydrated due to vomiting and diarrhea was found to have lower reflectance at all the measurement locations compared with healthy and other types of dehydrated skin. The elbow region showed the highest difference in reflectance between healthy and dehydrated skin. This indicates that radiometric sensitivity is sufficient to detect dehydration in a few seconds. This will reduce the patient's waiting time and the healthcare professional's intervention time as well as allow early treatment of dehydration, thus avoiding admission to hospitals.

Design and implementation of multi-band reflectarray metasurface for 5G millimeter wave coverage enhancement.

A compact low-profile multi-band millimeter-wave (mm-wave) reflectarray metasurface design is presented for coverage enhancement in 5G and beyond cellular communication. The proposed single-layer metasurface exhibits a stable reflection response under oblique incidence angles of up to 60 ∘ at 24 and 38 GHz, and transmission response at 30 GHz, effectively covering the desired 5G mm-wave frequency bands. The proposed reflectarray metasurface is polarization insensitive and performs equally well under TE and TM polarized incident waves due to the symmetric pattern. In addition, the low profile of the proposed metasurface makes it appropriate for conformal applications. In comparison to the state-of-the-art, the proposed reflectarray metasurface unit cell design is not only compact (3.3  ×  3.3 mm 2 ) but also offers two reflections and one transmission band based on a single-layer structure. It is easy to reconfigure the proposed metasurface unit cell for any other frequency band by adjusting a few design parameters. To validate the concept of coverage enhancement, a 32  ×  x32 unit-cell prototype of the proposed reflectarray metasurface is fabricated and measured under different scenarios. The experimental results demonstrate that a promising signal enhancement of 20-25 dB is obtained over the entire 5G mm-wave n258, n259, and n260 frequency bands. The proposed reflectarray metasurface has a high potential for application in mm-wave 5G networks to improve coverage in dead zones or to overcome obstacles that prevent direct communication linkages.

In this study, we developed and demonstrated a millimeter-wave electric field imaging system using an electro-optic crystal and a highly sensitive polarization measurement technique using a polarization image sensor, which was fabricated using a 0.35-µm standard CMOS process. The polarization image sensor was equipped with differential amplifiers that amplified the difference between the 0° and 90° pixels. With the amplifier, the signal-to-noise ratio at low incident light levels was improved. Also, an optical modulator and a semiconductor optical amplifier were used to generate an optical local oscillator (LO) signal with a high modulation accuracy and sufficient optical intensity. By combining the amplified LO signal and a highly sensitive polarization imaging system, we successfully performed millimeter-wave electric field imaging with a spatial resolution of 30×60 µm at a rate of 1 FPS, corresponding to 2400 pixels/s.

With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, the frequency band of 6G communication systems is moving towards higher frequencies such as millimeter waves and terahertz. In such high-frequency situations, wireless transmission requires antenna modules to be provided with characteristics of miniaturization, high integration, and high gain, which presents new challenges to the development of antenna technology.

Combined with the substrate-integrated waveguide to a rectangular waveguide transition structure designed in the early stage, a physical array with a standard metal rectangular waveguide interface was fabricated and tested. The test results show that the gain of the antenna array is higher than 18 dBi from 88 to 98 GHz, with a maximum of 20.4 dBi.

This article presents a planar, non-angular, series-fed, dual-element dipole array MIMO antenna operating at 28 GHz with the metasurface-based isolation improvement technique. The initial design is a single-element antenna with a dual dipole array which is series-fed. These dipole elements are non-uniform in shape and distance. This dipole antenna results in end-fire radiation. The dipole antenna excites the J1 mode for its operation. Further, with the view to improve channel capacity, the dipole array expands the antenna to a three-element MIMO antenna. In the MIMO antenna structure, the sum of the J1, J2, and J3 modes is excited, causing resonance at 28 GHz. This article also proposes a metasurface structure with wide stopband characteristics at 28 GHz for isolation improvement. The metasurface is composed of rectangle-shaped structures. The defected ground and metasurface structure combination suppresses the surface wave coupling among the MIMO elements. The proposed antenna results in a bandwidth ranging from 26.7 to 29.6 GHz with isolation improvement greater than 21 dB and a gain of 6.3 dBi. The antenna is validated with the diversity parameters of envelope correlation coefficient, diversity gain, and channel capacity loss.
