Microstrip printed antennas are the preferred choice in high data ratio modern communications, mainly at 2.45 GHz and above. In this paper, we propose two different approaches of microstrip printed antennas for lower frequency usage. In this sense, we present a printed microstrip Yagi-like antenna at 868 MHz and a printed dipole log-periodic antenna for wider band applications. We focus on the use of low-cost substrates, with a good performance at these frequencies, and giving antennas with useful sizes for such applications. For the analysis, we make use of standard experimental characterization combined with full-wave 3D-FDTD specifically developed simulations. In this way, the S11, radiation patterns, and gain/efficiency figures are given.

We present a systematic approach for producing microstrip antennas using the state-of-the-art-inkjet printing technique. An initial antenna design based on the conventional square patch geometry is adopted as a benchmark to characterize the entire approach; the procedure then could be generalized to different antenna geometries and feeding techniques. For validation purposes, the antenna is designed and simulated using two different 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools: Ansoft’s High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), which is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), and CST Microwave Studio, which is based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The systematic approach for the fabrication process includes the optimal number of printed layers, curing temperature, and curing time. These essential parameters need to be optimized to achieve the highest electrical conductivity, trace continuity, and structural robustness. The antenna is fabricated using Inkjet Printing Technology (IJPT) utilizing Sliver Nanoparticles (SNPs) conductive ink printed by DMP-2800 Dimatix FujiFilm materials printer.

The article defines the list of technical characteristics of armaments and military equipment (ARM), the value of which is measured using phase methods. An analysis of known methods that have found wide application in measuring technology, which is designed to determine the technical characteristics associated with the measurement of phase shift during the development, manufacture and operation of weapons. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the measuring systems are designed to determine the phase shift of two harmonic signals in their composition have two channels of information transmission. This architecture of the implementation of measuring systems leads to the fact that a significant impact on the accuracy of the proposed measurement problem, makes a component of the error due to the phase symmetry of the signal transmission channels, as well as internal and external noise. As an alternative approach to solving the measurement problem of determining the phase shift of two harmonic signals, which will significantly reduce the error component due to phase asymmetry of information transmission channels, it is proposed to use the signal obtained by summing harmonic signals after full-wave transformation followed by spectral analysis. In order to implement the above approach, a measurement problem was set to determine the phase shift of two harmonic signals, using spectral analysis of the signal obtained by summing the harmonic signals after their full-wave transformation. A list of assumptions required for the synthesis of analytical relations that establish the relationship between the spectra of phases and amplitudes (power) of the signal obtained by summing harmonic signals after their full-wave transformation and phase shift of two harmonic signals. Analytical relationships are proposed that establish the relationship between the above characteristics. It is shown that the values of the spectrum of phases and amplitudes, which are calculated using the proposed expressions, differ from the values obtained in the calculations using the Fourier series coefficients, not more than 0.1%.
