An Optimization Driven Method for the Synthesis of Reconfigurable Parasitic Antenna Arrays

In this paper, an optimization driven method for the synthesis of pattern reconfigurable parasitic antenna arrays is presented. The proposed approach allows the design of antennas fulfilling different performance requirements. Two test cases, aimed …

On Methods to Determine Bounds on the $Q$ -Factor for a Given Directivity

This paper revisit and extend the interesting case of bounds on the Q-factor for a given directivity for a small antenna of arbitrary shape. A higher directivity in a small antenna is closely connected with a narrow impedance bandwidth. The relation …

Convex optimization for the synthesis of matching filters

In this work we study a particular filter synthesis problem in order to minimize the reflection coefficient of the global system consisting of filter and antenna. The matching problem is formulated as an optimization problem involving the …

A wake-up receiver with ad-hoc antenna co-design for wearable applications

Body Area Networks (BAN) have received significant attention in recent years and have found a wide range of applications, including wearable devices for fitness and health tracking, and mobile communications. Battery lifetime continues to be the main …
