Analysis and Design of A New Class of Miniaturized Circular Waveguides Containing Anisotropic Metamaterial Liners
DownloadFall 2016
This work presents the analysis and design of a new class of miniaturized circular waveguides containing anisotropic metamaterial liners, and reveals in detail intriguing and potentially useful propagation and radiation phenomena. An analytical construction of the liner as a homogeneous,...

Miniaturized, Inherently Matched, and Scalable Folded Dipole Antennas with Applications in Narrowband Sensing
DownloadFall 2019
This work presents a novel technique for miniaturizing folded dipole antennas using a simple series reactive loading scheme that enables the input impedance to be engineered, such that the antenna can be matched inherently to either a real or a complex source impedance at a specified level of...
