Thin Dielectric Layer

Thispaper reports a novel method to concentrate bacteria in three-dimension by negative dielectrophoretic (n-DEP) force in a microchannel. This was achieved by placing a thin dielectric layer on one of a pair of parallel plate electrodes. The dielectric layer having a home-plate like pentagonal shape, forms a gradient of electric field causing n-DEP. A three-dimensional numerical simulation of bacteria trajectory predicts that bacteria flowing a microchannel were three-dimensionally concentrated beneath the tip of the pentagonal dielectric thin layer. The trajectory and concentration of bacteria under n-DEP force were also experimentally confirmed using Escherichia coli cells. Bacteria moved along edges of the dielectric layer and were pushed to the opposite electrode, resulting in their concentration in three-dimension. The proposed device might be applicable to selective concentration of bacteria depending on their dielectric properties.

Thin Dielectric Layer

The article describes the computer simulation of phased antenna arrays consisting of slotted waveguide antennas with air and dielectric filling. It is shown that inser-tion of a thin dielectric layer shifts the operating frequency range of phased anten-na arrays by 1 GHz or more down in frequency while maintaining directional char-acteristics.

Thin Dielectric Layer

One efficient approach is introduced in this paper to reduce mutual coupling and correlation coefficient for two closely placed PIFAs in a handheld device. The approach is based on one miniaturized structure which consists of two metallic layers, printed on either side of one thin dielectric layer. Due to the small spacing between two conducting patches, high electromagnetic field is induced within the dielectric layer. The geometry and position of this structure have been modified to decouple the PIFA array at 1.9 GHz and produce maximum miniaturization thereby occupying less space on a handheld device ground plane. By employing the proposed structures, a 20 dB reduction in mutual coupling is achieved. The correlation coefficient also reduces to 0.007278. The performance of the structure is validated by both simulated results and measured data obtained from several fabricated prototypes.
