The concepts of many optical devices are based on the fundamental physical phenomena such as resonances. One of the commonly used devices is an electromagnetic antenna that converts localized energy into freely propagating radiation and…
The plasmonic lightning-rod effect refers to the formation of a strong electric near field of localized surface plasmons at the sharp features of plasmonic antennas. While this effect is intuitively utilized in the design and optimization…
We provide for the first time the detailed study of the radiation performance of an optical leaky wave antenna (OLWA) integrated into a Fabry-P\'erot resonator. We show that the radiation pattern can be expressed as the one generated by the…
Optical travelling wave antennas offer unique opportunities to control and selectively guide light into a specific direction which renders them as excellent candidates for optical communication and sensing. These applications require state…
The ability to obtain dynamic control over an antenna radiation pattern is one of the main functions, desired in a vast range of applications, including wireless communications, radars, and many others. Widely used approaches include…
Existing optimization methods are used to calculate the upper-bounds on radiation efficiency with and without the constraint on self-resonance. These bounds are used for the design and assessment of small electric-dipole-type antennas. We…
Optical antenna is a nanoscale miniaturization of radio or microwave antennas that is also governed by the rule of plasmonics. We introduce various types of optical antenna and make an overview of recent developments in optical antenna…
Co-existing wireless systems, which share a common spectrum, need to mitigate out-of-band (OOB) radiation to avoid excessive interference. For legacy systems, OOB radiation is well understood and is commonly handled by digital…
Non-linearities in radio-frequency (RF) transceiver hardware, particularly in power amplifiers, cause distortion in-band and out-of-band. Contrary to claims made in recent literature, in a multiple-antenna system this distortion is…
Unidirectional radiation is of particular interest in high-power lasing and optics. Commonly, however, it is difficult to achieve a unidirectional profile in such a system without breaking reciprocity. Recently, assisted by metamaterials…
A phased-array antenna is a device that generates radiation patterns whose shape and direction can be electronically controlled by tailoring the amplitude and phase of the signals that feed each element of the array. These devices provide…
Small volume, finite conductivity and high frequencies are major imperatives in the design of communications infrastructure. The radiation efficiency $\eta_r$ impacts on the optimal gain, quality factor, and bandwidth. The current…
Performance limitations for implanted antennas, taking radiation efficiency as the metric, are presented. The performance limitations use a convex optimization procedure with the current density inside the implant acting as its degree of…
The relation between parameters the D/sqrt(I) and Ic/Isum and radiation patterns of the optical and radio components of an extended radio source is analyzed, where D and I are the apparent size and observed radiation intensity of the source…
Superdirective (supergain) antennas aim to produce a narrow main beam from radiators that are electrically small compared with the wavelength. Instead of enlarging the physical aperture, they rely on strongly coupled currents, near-field…
Antennas typically have emission/radiation efficiencies bounded by A/(lambda)^2 (A < lambda^2) where A is the emitting area and lambda is the wavelength of the emitted wavelength. That makes it challenging to miniaturize antennas to extreme…
The integration of a leaky-wave antenna with a ring resonator is presented using analytical guided wave models. The device consists of a ring resonator fed by a directional coupler, where the ring resonator path includes a leaky-wave…
This research investigates how the number of elements affects the monopole antenna's planar array's directivity. This study also takes into account the antenna's effect on the whole field it radiates. The monopole antennas are arranged in a…
We apply the transformation-optics approach to the design of a metamaterial radome that can extend the scanning angle of a phased-array antenna. For moderate enhancement of the scanning angle, via suitable parameterization and optimization…
This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the effects of antenna radiation parameters on the detection capabilities of a 2.4 GHz Doppler radar used in non-contact heart rate monitoring systems. Four different types of patch…
