Compact Pattern-Switching Patch Antenna
Research Paper / 2020 50th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) / Sep 2020 / Antennas, Wireless communication

In this paper, a simple compact radiation pattern reconfigurable patch antenna is presented. The proposed design is composed of two back-to-back identical patches surrounded by a conductive strip, etched on both sides of a dielectric substrate. It has the same dimensions as a classical patch. Thanks to the use of well-placed switches, it allows switching its radiation pattern between three modes, forward- and backward- broadside radiation patterns, and omnidirectional one. Realization examples of single- and two-port- patch antennas operating in the 2.45GHz ISM band are presented. These antennas are printed on an FR4 substrate with total dimensions of 42x42x1.2mm 3 . Their simulated performances are presented, thoroughly analyzed and validated experimentally.

Intelligent radio surface (IRS) is a programmable structure that can be used to control the propagation of electromagnetic waves by changing the electric and magnetic properties of the surface. By placing these surfaces in an environment, the properties of radio channels can be, at least partially, controlled. This opens new...
A Novel Approach for Radar-Based Human Activity Detection and Classification
RESEARCH PAPER / Jan 2021 / Wireless communication, Antennas
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for real-time radar-based human activities detection and classification. In this approach, first, the radar transceiver is mounted on the room’s ceiling leading to considerable variations of the relative received power as the subject perform the different activities. Second, to exploit the different...
