| Manuscript Title: | Atmospheric Effects and Behaviour of Electromagnetic Signals in the Millimeter Wave 1 Range Wireless Communication |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-10-202275 |
| Abstract: | Today, in 2022 evolution of 5G is at its peak, and few companies have even launched their smartphones based on LTE-A as a primary technology and in non-standalone mode. Millimeter wave communication using electromagnetic signals plays a vital role. This electromagnetic signal, when propagates through the air, may get impacted by various atmospheric constituents like free space loss, rain attenuation loss, gaseous loss, foliage loss, humidity, cloud, fog, and penetration loss. These losses cannot be underestimated during estimation and performance analysis in the high-frequency region of millimeter wave communication. An atmospheric constituent causes a very high degree of attenuation in the millimeter wave range and reduces transmission range when intended for non-line of sight communication. Accurate and precise measurements and analysis of these parameters help suggest new and better models in designing and development of millimeter wave range advanced communication systems. Though no model is a hundred perent correct, it is possible to measure these losses accurately and precisely by effective modeling. The new models are suggested by taking into consideration tropical and temperate regions. We need new models for a specific place in tropical areas to get precision, accuracy, and better performance in the millimeter wave range. This paper remits the effect of atmospheric constituents in the new models developed for a tropical region like Navi Mumbai in India for millimeter wave communication in the range of 30 GHz to 300 GHz. |

| Manuscript Title: | Study of Leaky Acoustic Micro-Waves in Piezoelectric Material (Lithium Niobate Cut Y-X) Using Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) Classification |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-10-202278 |
| Abstract: | In this paper, the leaky acoustic micro-waves (LAW) in a piezoelectric substrate (Lithium Niobate LiNbO3 Cut Y-X) were studied. The main method for this research was classification using a probabilistic neural network (PNN).The originality of this method is in the accurate values it provides. In our case, this technique was helpful in identifying undetectable waves, which are difficult to identify by classical methods. Moreover, all the values of the real part and the imaginary part of the coefficient attenuation with the acoustic velocity were classified in order to build a model from which we could easily note the Leaky waves. Accurate values of the coefficient attenuation and acoustic velocity for Leaky waves were obtained. Hence, in this study, the focus was on the interesting modeling and realization of acoustic microwave devices (radiating structures) based on the propagation of acoustic microwaves. |

| Manuscript Title: | Dual Band Compact Patch Antenna Array With Defected Ground Structure for Wideband Sector Beam Synthesis |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-11-202281 |
| Abstract: | This paper presents a novel design approach for series-fed microstrip patch antenna arrays. The design is based on the principle of gain modification of a patch antenna array with an amplitude distribution, to generate a desired beam pattern. The proposed antenna uses the feature that the patch width can be varied to obtain amplitude tapering. The widths are calculated using Fourier’s method of array synthesis for shaped beam pattern generation. A small rectangular slot is removed from the radiating patch for dual band operation. The ground plane is made defected with ‘U’ slots, to increase the bandwidth. The structure is simulated in HFSS and fabricated on FR-4 Epoxy material to test the validation practically. Compared to the existing designs, the proposed structure does not necessitate the use of any complicated power dividers or phase shifting circuits. It exhibits two resonant frequencies, at 3.6 GHz and 6.8 GHz. At 3.6 GHz, the array produces a sector pattern gain of magnitude 14.7 dB, with low level side lobes at -21 dB. At 6.8 GHz, it exhibits a sector pattern of gain of 14.5 dB, with a low side lobe level of -19 dB. The impedance bandwidths of the structure are 11.1% (2.6 to 4.3 GHz) and 10.8% (6.3 to 7.8 GHz), respectively. The simulated results and prototype measured values have a great similarity. |

| Manuscript Title: | Enhancing the Absorber Frequency Bandwidth in GHz Regime by Applying Column Network Defects |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-11-202282 |
| Abstract: | This paper investigates by simulation and experiments a full-sized electromagnetic wave absorber structure, with the size of 100 unit-cells in the GHz frequency region. The unit cell consists of closed and open square metal bar structures arranged periodically on a dielectric base as a two-dimensional lattice, the bottom layer is a full copper layer. Different from other studies, this study applies the lattice defect directly to the full structure rather than adjusting the unit cell structure, therefore it is possible to control and expand the working frequency range with a structure in its actual size. Column network defects are created by removing the columns of unit cells at the appropriate position in the structure, the simulations are performed by FIT (Finite Integration Technique). Column defects have been proven to be able to enhance the absorption intensity and widen the working frequency band up to 1.5 GHz. Three types of column defects are applied and optimized to obtain the best absorption range in the X band (8 - 12 GHz). The mechanism of absorption due to electromagnetic resonance and energy absorption is discussed. |

| Manuscript Title: | Semi-Circular Stubs UWB Monopole Antenna with Tunable Dual Band-Notch Characteristics |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-11-212288 |
| Abstract: | This paper proposes a tunable dual band-notched ultrawideband monopole antenna for ultrawideband applications. The proposed antenna consists of a circular ring monopole antenna as a main radiator with two unequally sized semi-circular stubs added near the inner edge of the circular ring to achieve dual band-notching. The band-notching tuning is achieved by connecting the larger stub to the main radiator via a single varactor diode. The proposed antenna exhibits a wide impedance bandwidth from 2.8 to 21.9 GHz (154.6%), which is much wider than that of other published antennas. The center frequencies of the dual band-notched are simultaneously tuned using only one active element from 3.5 GHz to 3.8 GHz and from 6.7 GHz to 7.2 GHz, which can reject the WiMAX and the lower X-band applications. The measured results show good agreement with the simulation results. |

| Manuscript Title: | Microstrip Antenna Array Design with Thin Substrate for Gain Enhancement |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-12-212294 |
| Abstract: | The variation geometry of either the patch or substrate or both can help to design the antenna with specific resonant frequency. In this work, a 1X4 array is designed. The novelty of this proposed work is use of thin FR-4substrate of 0.604mm. Four circular metallic patches are placed with 0.62??apart. Also, the metallic patches are considered with small radius of 11.74mm producing wider bandwidth. Sectoral slots are formed in the circular patch for relative gain enhancement and maintaining the resonant frequency. With this novelty, further the defective ground plane is considered for far-field and near-field effects along with reduction of mutual coupling effect. This satisfies the desired multiband operation along with the gain. The proposed prototype utilized for weather forecasting and broadcasting application that is monitored at the meteorology department. It provides the multiple bands at 7.5GHz, 11.7GHZ &16GHz respectively. Simultaneously, it satisfies the data transmission and reception in the range of 7 to 8 GHz, 11to 12 GHz and 15.5 to 16.5 GHz works for broadcasting. The proposed structure is exhibiting a good amount of bandwidth as well as gain at this application. The gain and bandwidth of this antenna is found excellent that satisfies the simulated result in case of fabricated one. |

| Manuscript Title: | Circularly Polarized Tri-Band Ring Dielectric Resonator Antenna for WiMAX/INSAT/WLAN Applications |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2021-12-212301 |
| Abstract: | This paper proposes a circularly polarized slot coupled ring dielectric resonator antenna for WiMAX/INSA T/WLAN applications. It consists of a ring dielectric resonator of the outer diameter 36.5 mm, inner diameter 6.5 mm and height of 22.5 mm placed over two orthogonal slots (vertical and horizontal) etched on the ground plane of size 60 mm x 60 mm from FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. The dielectric constant of dielectric material is of 9.2 and loss tangent is 0.008. Microstrip feeding with slot coupling is used to excite the ring dielectric resonator. Vertical rectangular slot creates circularly polarized wave in higher frequency band. Horizontal rectangular slot creates linear polarization in lower frequency band. Combined effect of horizontal and vertical slots generates HE116, HE216 and TE016 modes inside the ring DRA. These different modes are ensured by simulation of vector electric field distribution using HFSS. Reflection coefficient parameters and axial ratios are investigated at different outer diameter, inner diameter and heights of ring dielectric resonant material. Experimental results confirm the simulated results over three frequency ranges of 3.56-3.89 GHz, 4.42-4.62 GHz and 5.61-5.69 GHz. Circularly polarized waves are also supported in three frequency ranges of 3.34-3.41 GHz, 3.87-3.93 GHz and 5.87-5.92 GHz respectively. The maximum gain in the operational band is 6.5 dBi. The advantage of proposed architecture is compact and it operates in three frequency bands in both linear and circular polarizations. |

| Manuscript Title: | Diffraction by a Right-Angled Metallic Wedge with Coating: the UAPO Solution for Normal Incidence |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2022-1-212305 |
| Abstract: | The plane wave diffraction problem involving a 90° coated metallic wedge is addressed in the high-frequency framework when the incidence direction is orthogonal to the edge. The uniform asymptotic physical optics approach is applied to solve the problem in the context of the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction. The corresponding solutions for both polarizations of the incident electric field are approximate, easy to use, and supplies reliable results as validated by comparisons with a recognized commercial software. The novelty of the paper relies on the use of the proposed approach to study the interaction of plane waves with double negative metamaterials covering a 90° metallic wedge. The approach is also applied to standard double positive layers for completeness. |
