Transmitter Architectures Based on Near-Field Direct Antenna Modulation [PDF]
A near-field direct antenna modulation (NFDAM) technique is introduced, where the radiated far-field signal is modulated by time-varying changes in the antenna near-field electromagnetic (EM) boundary conditions. This enables the transmitter to send data

A K‐band eight‐element reconfigurable phased‐array receiver with high Tx‐band rejection
Abstract A K‐band eight‐element phased‐array receiver is proposed, featuring a reconfigurable beam count and high Tx‐band rejection, tailored for satellite communication applications. By precisely designing the inter‐stage and output matching networks of the four‐stage low‐noise amplifier, the Tx‐band rejection of the receiver can be effectively ...

Active quasi circulator: Comprehensive review and performance comparison
To cope up with the increased data transmission rate due to the modern multiband wireless communication systems, the three‐port circulator must be equipped with the ability to operate in different frequency levels while having adequate bandwidth. Thus, designing circulator as an antenna interface device becomes a challenging, particularly active‐quasi ...
