Summary: This paper introduces a gain enhancement technique for monolithically integrated antennas that can effectively mitigate gain dips caused by standing waves or interactions with other on-chip components. By parasitically coupling square Split Ring Resonators to the fed antenna, an additional resonance is created to cancel gain drops and improve impedance matching. Experimental validation showed successful compensation of a 7 dB gain drop in a W-band monopole antenna.

Summary: The research proposes a design of tunable double split-ring metamaterial in the terahertz frequency range, demonstrating switchable characteristics between single-resonance and dual-resonance with polarization sensitivity, within the frequency range of 0.16 THz to 0.21 THz. Tunability and stability of DSRM can be achieved by changing the gap between two SRRs or the distance between face-to-face SRRs.

Summary: This paper proposes a two-dimensional displacement sensor based on the diagonal symmetry complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) structure. The CSRR structure is used to detect the displacement of the mover by varying the resonant frequency. The shape of the sensor is further optimized using the particle swarm algorithm to reduce the error caused by lateral displacement. The experimental results show that the sensor has high sensitivity.

Summary: Amino acids play a vital role in life as they are essential components of proteins and necessary for cell growth and maintenance. This study introduces a split-ring resonator as a sensitive and simple detector for amino acids. The split-ring resonator uses the electromagnetic properties of a liquid sample to determine the resonance frequency, and initial measurements show detection limits for tested amino acids ranging from 105 μM to 1564 μM. With an envelope detector, the split-ring resonator can be used in ion chromatography and achieve detection limits of 485 μM for aspartic acid and 956 μM for lysine at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min.

Summary: This article introduces a planar metasurface that can rotate the polarization of reflected signals by 90 degrees and control the relative phase of the rotated signals. By adding PIN diode controlled vertical interconnect access at the corners of each square patch, the scattering properties of the surface can be modified. Experimental results show that the proposed metasurface has a maximum bandwidth of 25% in the 4.8-6.2 GHz range, making it suitable for practical applications such as circularly polarized antennas.

Summary: Direct RF sampling receivers are explored for concurrent multiband reception in mobile broadband applications. The research examines the use of direct RF digitization to enable tunable and concurrent reception of multiple bands with a single RF front-end. Mathematical models of Nyquist and subband sampling receivers are presented, and a quadband LTE receiver is simulated and implemented in a hardware-in-the-loop testbed. The desensitization of receivers due to multiband processing is evaluated, showing a maximum of 3dB degradation within LTE standard requirements for adjacent band interference.
