This letter presents a simple, compact, low-cost, low-profile, dual-polarization, suspended patch antenna design to operate in 3.3-3.8 GHz band for 5G base stations. The proposed antenna comprises a main radiating patch, a secondary parasitic patch, modified L-probe feeds, and a vertical metal wall. The main patch is capacitively driven by two feeds for dual (+/- 45 degrees slant) polarization. The vertical metal wall is used to increase the port isolation. The parasitic patch also helps further improvement of input impedance matching (|S-11|, |S-22|) and port isolation (|S-21|). The prototyped antenna has |S-11|, |S-22| < -10 dB and |S-11|, |S-22| < -15 dB impedance bandwidth of 45% and 36%, respectively. Port isolation is |S-21| < -30 dB in the desired operating band. Stable and symmetric radiation patterns with half-power beamwidths of 56 degrees-65 degrees are obtained in E-/-H-planes. The gain of the antenna is 8.95 +/- 0.25 dBi. Numerical calculations and experimental results are reported and discussed.

Hybrid-shaped single-loop resonator: a four-band metamaterial structure
Yurduseven, O.; Yilmaz, A. E.; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011-12-08)
The aim of this reported work is to demonstrate the feasibility of a miniaturised four-band metamaterial resonator which has potential use in the design of multiband microwave devices such as four-band mobile phone patch antennas. The suggested resonator topology is called the hybrid-shaped single-loop resonator (HSLR) as its unit cell is formed by the combination of square-shaped and triangular-shaped sections of a single piece metal loop printed on a planar low-loss dielectric substrate. The performance o...
Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for high efficiency, low output voltage applications
Acik, A; Cadirci, I (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2003-03-01)
The analysis, design, and implementation of an active clamped ZVS forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier (ACFC-SR), proposed for high-efficiency low output voltage DC-DC converter applications, is presented. The converter efficiency is maximised due to soft switching of the main, active clamp, synchronous rectifier, and freewheeling MOSFET switches. The operating principles of the ACFC-SR are analysed in detail, and the converter performance is compared with that of alternativ...

Tabrizi, Hamed Osouli; Jayaweera, Herath M. P. C.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-05-01)
In this article, a novel fully autonomous and integrated power management interface circuit is introduced for energy harvesting using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to supply power to Internet of Thing nodes. The circuit consists of a self-starting dc & x2013;dc converter based on a dual-phase charge pump with LC-tank oscillator, a digital MPPT unit, and a 1-V LDO regulator. The novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm avoids open-circuit state, and accommodates varying input power and ultra-lo...
E-plane sectoral horn power divider
Secmen, M.; Demir, Şimşek; Hizal, A. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2010-02-01)
E-plane sectoral horn power divider design method for high-power antenna array applications is presented. In this method, power division is proportional to the cross section areas of the waveguide channels at the aperture of an E-plane sectoral horn antenna. Two different power dividers are designed and produced to be used with an X-band antenna array having 30 dB Taylor distribution. The first one employs a simple E-plane sectoral horn antenna. This straightforward application of the method might be limite...
