In this paper, a low-profile HF (high-frequency) meandered dipole antenna with a ferrite-loaded artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is proposed. To operate in the HF band while retaining a compact size, ferrite with high permeability is applied to the unit cell of the AMC. The operating frequency bandwidth of the designed unit cell of the AMC is 1.89:1 (19–36 MHz). Thereafter, a meandered dipole antenna is designed by implementing a binary genetic algorithm and is combined with the AMC. The overall size of the designed antenna is 0.06×0.06×0.002 λ3 at the lowest operating frequency. The proposed dipole antenna with a ferrite-loaded AMC is fabricated and measured. The measured VSWR bandwidth (<3) covers 20–30 MHz on the HF band. To confirm the performance of the antenna, a reference monopole antenna which operates on the HF band was selected, and the measured receiving power is compared with the result of the proposed antenna with the AMC.

A wide-band cylindrical transducer was developed by using the wide band of the composite material and the matched matching layer for multimode coupling. Firstly, the structure size of the transducer’s sensitive component was designed by using ANSYS simulation software. Secondly, the piezoelectric composite ring-shaped sensitive component was fabricated by the piezoelectric composite curved-surface forming process, and the matching layer was coated on the periphery of the ring-shaped piezoelectric composite material. Finally, it was encapsulated and the electrodes were drawn out to make a high-frequency broadband horizontal omnidirectional water acoustic transducer prototype. After testing, the working frequency range of the transducer was 230–380 kHz, and the maximum transmission voltage response was 168 dB in the water.

A water-in-diesel microwave sensor based on a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) microwave applicator is designed and characterized in this study. The interaction between the microwave electromagnetic field and the diesel fuel contaminated with small concentrations of water is obtained via suitable radiating slots placed on the top of an SIW waveguiding structure. The SIW applicator working frequency is chosen by observing the behavior of the complex dielectric permittivity of the fuel–water blend based on a preliminary wide band investigation. The performances of the SIW microwave sensor are evaluated in terms of scattering parameter modulus |S21| as a function of the water concentration in ppm. The best sensitivity Δ|S21|Δρ=1.42 mdB/ppm is obtained at a frequency of f=9.76 GHz, with a coefficient of determination R2=0.94. The sensor is low-cost, low profile and ensures a good sensitivity for constant and real-time monitoring.

Power Quality Assessment (PQA) is a critical issue both in transmission and distribution networks. Therefore, it is necessary to precisely classify the disturbances in shortest possible time to prevent the malfunction or increase of losses in the electrical equipment through appropriate remedial techniques. This paper proposes a highly accurate method of PQA through data acquisition using smart sensors, the Rogowski coils (RCs). RCs with wide band width and linear characteristics allow faithful reproduction of high-frequency (HF) signals. In the proposed method, simulated disturbance signals are applied to RC. The output signals are subjected to multilevel wavelet decomposition and then computation of the energy difference in the detailed components between the disturbance signal and the pure sinusoidal waveform is performed to design a fuzzy logic Power Quality Classifier. The classifier is tested by varying the magnitude, frequency and duration of the disturbance and found to be accurate to 98.38%. The classification accuracy depends mainly on the performance of sensors at HFs. Thus, with RCs as sensors instead of conventional instrument transformers, it is found that the precision of power quality classification is greatly improved.

A new ka-band circularly-polarized antenna is presented in this paper, in which a linearly-polarized wave is conversed into a circularly-polarized wave with a circular waveguide polarizer. After simulation and optimization with HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator), a compact circularly-polarized antenna is designed with a total height less than 25mm. More simple and easier structure is adopted to achieve a low-profile circularly-polarized antenna.
