Liquid Characterization of 2 GHz Complimentary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) for Water Quality Applications

This study describes a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR)-based planar microwave sensor. Its capability in detecting several samples which are based on the usual water contaminant in Malaysia was investigated. The CSRR sensor was designed with an unloaded resonant frequency of 2.0 GHz, and it was fabricated on an FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm and a dielectric constant of 4.3. The S-parameter responses of the sensor were measured under two conditions; i) unloaded and ii) loaded. For the latter, samples of tap water, salt water, isopropyl alcohol, filtered water and cooking oil were used to load the resonant element of the CSRR. The measurement result of unloaded CSRR shows that the designed sensor resonates at 1.99 GHz, which is in line with the simulation. The measurement results also showed that the presence of all samples caused the resonant frequency of the CSRR to shift, with filtered water and cooking oil showing the biggest frequency shifts (0.84 GHz and 0.96 GHz, respectively). A sensitivity analysis of the CSRR was carried out and it shows that it achieves 0.25% sensitivity. The proposed sensor may be a useful substitute for pricey commercial sensors for applications involving water quality because of the inexpensive materials and ease of fabrication.

A Miniaturized, Dual-Port, Multiband MIMO with CSRR DGS for Internet of Things Using WLAN Communication Standards

A compact, dual-port, triband MIMO antenna is designed and tested for three sub-6 GHz WLAN bands for IoT applications. The size and performance of the antenna make it versatile for the emerging IoT applications communicating using the 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, and 5.8 GHz WLAN frequencies. The single radiating element of antenna geometry includes a pair of modified and optimized rectangular patches. A complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) structure is incorporated in the ground plane as a defect (defected ground structure) to attain the third operational band. The orientation of the elements, orthogonally arranged, along with DGS, enhances the isolation between the radiating elements keeping it below 18 dB throughout the three operating frequency bands. The size of the final antenna is as small as 0.32 λ 0 × 0.32 λ 0 mm2 build on commercially available and cheap FR4 substrate of thickness 1.5748 mm. A peak gain of 7.17 dBi is attained for the proposed MIMO system. This MIMO antenna also satisfies the diversity parameter requirements including DG > 9.8 , ECC < 0.5 , TARC < − 10 dB, and CCL < 0.5 bits/s/Hz. This makes the proposed antenna a good candidate for IoT applications employing WLAN frequencies.

Real-time transformer oil monitoring using planar frequency-based sensor

Efficient power transfer is highly dependent on the quality of oil which plays a major role in transformer units used for energy distribution. In this work, a meta-surface inspired Complimentary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) structure designed to work at 2.94 GHz, with an engineered slit between its active waveguide and CSRR ground plane is used. A miniaturised pipeline is made to pass through the slit, which carries the sample of transformer oil derived from the actively used transformer. The degraded oil samples are characterised for their dielectric properties (dielectric constant varying from 2.77 to 2.823), viscosity (25.11–27.9 cP), turbidity (1.314–4.709 cm−1), density (819–831 mg/ml) and structural changes, which confirms the structural modifications, as a function of the age of the sample and the ambient effects. Degraded oil samples show the formation of alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds from simple hydrocarbons as a result of extended usage. The changes in their frequency responses of the sensor are correlated to the changes in the oil samples at their physical and chemical level. A shift in frequency from about 135.5 to 470.5 MHz for samples with degradation time from 24 h to 504 h is obtained. The proposed technique is non-destructive, since there is no physical contact between the analyte molecules and the sensor itself; thereby maintaining the sensor parameters intact, even if the sensor is used for extended duration of time. A miniaturised, reusable, frequency-based sensor is hence demonstrated to detect the quality of transformer oil, in the real-time setup, for industrial applications.

High-Sensitivity Grooved CSRR-Based Sensor for Liquid Chemical Characterization

In this work, a new complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR)-based sensor is proposed to sense chemical concentrations. A groove is created in the dielectric ring region of the CSRR to place the hollow tube containing the material under test (MUT). By placing the MUT in the region of high field concentration, higher sensitivity is achieved. The proposed novel and simple design alleviates the requirement of complex fluidic channels and space needed to place the MUT. The fabrication process is also simple with efficient utilization of the sensor’s sensitive region. The CSRR is excited uniquely through a transmission line with periodically placed capacitive gaps in series. By placing the capacitive gaps, effective negative permeability and permittivity are simultaneously achieved, and the structure exhibits metamaterial [composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL)] left-handed behavior. Greater coupling of electromagnetic energy from the transmission line to the resonator is achieved by increasing the capacitive gap widths, which renders higher sensitivity. The main sensing parameter is the shift in the frequency of the transmission coefficient notch arising due to the placement of chemicals of varying concentrations throughout the ring region in the hollow tube. The sensor dimension is 4 cm (0.012 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda {g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ) <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> 4 cm (0.012 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda {g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ), with <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda {g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> being the guide wavelength. The large sensing bandwidth obtained is 1320 MHz that corresponds to high sensitivity of 14.66 MHz/unit change in concentration and 21.44 MHz/unit change in permittivity. The sensor is cheap and small, and the sensing process is simple offering instantaneous results.

Compact CPW fed Four Port MIMO Antenna for UWB applications with Wi-Fi/ISM/WLAN Band Notch Characteristics

A compact UWB with WLAN notch-based four-element CPW fed MIMO/diversity antenna is presented in this paper. Multiple elements facilitate the design to transmit and receive the signal from all directions enhancing the channel capacity and diversity performance. The inverted L-shaped stub attached to the ground enhances the impedance bandwidth (10 dB) and provides the UWB response. Plus and cross-shaped decoupling structure is accomplished to diminish the surface current and enhances the isolation between antenna elements and it is more than 20.2 dB from port-1 to port-4 without affecting the impedance bandwidth and radiation pattern. A complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) in the radiator is utilized to eliminate the Wi-Fi/WLAN band. The |S11| of UWB MIMO antenna varies from 3.26 GHz to 14 GHz which can be utilized in portable, Radar, Satellite, and wireless applications. The simple decoupling structure is used to correlate and isolate the antenna elements, therefore acceptable ECC and CCL parameters are achieved.

Dual notched conformal patch fed 3-D printed two-port MIMO DRA for ISM band applications

Abstract This article explores and develops a two-port MIMO Dielectric Resonator Antenna. The proposed antenna consists of two rectangular DRAs on the X-axis, fed by a trapezoidal conformal patch on the Y-axis. The proposed antenna may be 3D manufactured using a normal 3D printer and both DRAs are integrated with the substrate to minimise mounting error and improve mechanical strength, which were previously the typical constraints in DRAs. Rectangular Complimentary Split Ring Resonators (R-CSRRs) and Circular Complimentary Split Ring Resonators (C-CSRRs) enable the proposed antenna to be band-notched. The R-CSRRs control the 5–5.75 GHz range, whereas the C-CSRRs control the 4.4–4.8 GHz band, which are the commercial band. By keeping both ports orthogonal, the isolation between them was lowered to less than −15 dB in the operational bands. Later, with the substrate cavity, isolation drops to −19 dB for the operational bands. The suggested antenna is MIMO capable and covers the 3.4 GHz of ISM band (3.4–6.8 GHz). The antenna has a 4 dBi, 3.7 dBi and 6.9 dBi gain in the first, second, and third resonance frequencies. Excellent MIMO capabilities and ease of construction and feeding make this 3D printed antenna suited for the ISM band.

Broadband Bandpass Filter for UWB Networks with Multiple In-Band Transmission Zeros

Proposed in this manuscript is a broadband bandpass filter (BPF) with dual in-band transmission zeros (TZs) and elongated stopband for application in ultra-wideband (UWB) networks. The basic structure is developed on the principle of broadside coupling of microstrip-to-coplanar waveguide (CPW). Semi-elliptical microstrips on the top are arranged in back-to-back manner and coupled to the open circuited CPW in the ground. The basic BPF is of 3rd order with good insertion/return loss. To this basic BPF structure multiple defected ground structures (DGS) in the shape of complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) are appended to place dual Tzs within the passband and later dumbbell-shaped DGS are engraved in the CPW to widen the stopband. Also, an approximate equivalent lumped element circuit model is developed and its frequency characteristics matched against full-wave EM simulation. The proposed dual notched BPF is finally fabricated and is found to occupy a compact area of 13.6 × 6.75 mm2.

Reduced Cross-Polarization Patch Antenna with Optimized Impedance Matching Using a Complimentary Split Ring Resonator and Slots as Defected Ground Structure

An equivalent circuit model (ECM) enables the design take into consideration the mutual coupling between the antenna patch and the Defected Ground Structure. The input impedance and surface current density analysis confirms that the integration of a CSRR within a rectangular microstrip patch antenna leads to uniform comparative cross-polarization level below 40 dB in the H-plane, over an angular range of ± 50°. Introducing parallel slots, as well, leads to a reduction of spurious antenna radiation, thereby improving the impedance matching. Measurements conducted on a fabricated prototype are consistent with simulation results. The proposed antenna has a peak gain of 4.16 dB at 2.6 GHz resonating frequency, and hence is good candidate for broadband service applications.

Complimentary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) As A Viscometer For Engine Oils

A viscometer is a tool used to determine the strength of a fluid to shear or tensile stress. Meanwhile, engine oils are used to reduce friction and wear during operation and often deteriorate by the dynamic process with the combined effects of working conditions, contaminations and wear conditions. Therefore, the precise characterization of viscosity is important in the analysis of numerous engineering situations that consume engine oils that associate the functionality or performance of vehicles and machinery. This work aims to investigate the Complimentary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) as a viscometer for engine oils. The antenna using radiation path such as CSRR is commonly used to measure the dielectric property of substances. Hence, this approach is applied to identify the dielectric properties of engine oils and establish the correlation between viscosity and dielectric properties. Eight engine oils from Shell were tested based on their margins in the terms of kinematic viscosity. Each oil was tested and repeated three times before the mean values were determined along with the frequency of 1-9GHz. The findings show no convincing and solid correlation between the two variables due to the small dielectric constant variation of engine oil with different viscosity. However, future works using current resonator will be applied in other applications associated with different material properties to build a predictive model. In addition, future work can consider sweeping in low frequency that might show positive results.
