This document summarizes the design and simulation of a pattern reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna. The antenna consists of a central active patch fed by a coaxial line, with two additional parasitic elements on either side. Shorting pins are used to connect the parasitic elements to the ground plane, allowing the elements to act as directors or reflectors and steer the radiation pattern. Simulation results show that changing the position of the shorting pins can steer the main beam by up to 28 degrees in the H-plane. The optimal design uses FR-4 substrates of thickness 1.6mm for both the active and parasitic elements.
Novel High-Gain Narrowband Waveguide-Fed Filtenna using Genetic Algorithm Yayah Zakaria
Filtenna is an antenna with filtering feature. There are many ways to design a filtenna. In this paper, a high-gain narrowband waveguide-fed aperture filtenna has been proposed and designed. A patterned plane, which is designed using genetic algorithm has been used at the open end of the waveguide fed, mounted on a conducting ground plane. To design the patterned pattern, magnetic field integral equation of the structure has been derived, so it has been solved using method of moments. The proposed filtenna has been simulated with HFSS that confirms the results obtained by method of moments. Finally, an unprinted dielectric as a superstrate has been used to enhance the gain of the filtenna. The filtenna bandwidth is 1.76% (160 MHz) which has the gain of 15.91 dB at the central frequency
of 9.45 GHz.

In this paper, a novel design for single-layer half width microstrip leakywave antenna (HW-MLWA) is demonstrated. This model can be digitally control its radiation pattern at operation frequency and uses only two values of the bias voltage, with better impedance matching and insignificant gain variation. The scanning and controlling the radiation pattern of leaky-wave antennas (LWA) in steps at an operation frequency, by using switches PIN diodes, is investigated and a novel HW-MLWA is introduced. A control cell reconfigurable, that can be switched between two states, is the basic element of the antenna. The periodic LWA is molded by identical control cells where as a control radiation pattern is developed by combining numerous reconfigurable control cells. A gap capacitor is independently connected or disconnected in every unit cell by using a PIN diode switch to achieve fixedfrequency control radiation pattern scanning.

A cellular base station antenna configuration for variable coverageIJECEIAES
The field coverage offered by the base station antenna in GSM systems influences the reception and interference performances. The coverage can be varied by scanning the mainbeam direction or varying the shape of the radiation pattern. In cellular system applications, a simple technique is desirable to achieve this goal. A simple technique to vary the coverage of cellular base station is investigated. The technique uses two conventional antennas tilted by a certain angle and fed by the same signal but at variable amplitudes. It is demonstrated that the field across one half of the covered sector can be gradually increased while that at the other half is reduced by varying the excitations of the two antenna elements. This can be deployed in a simple electronic means in response to the changing scenario rather readjusting the direction of the base station antenna.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract:
In this paper, a design of pattern reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna and its simulation using CST-
MW simulator is presented. The designed antenna is also fabricated and tested. The design consists of
microstrip patch printed on FR-4 substrate with a coaxial line feeding on the back of the antenna which is
the active element. Two on-chip parasitic elements (OCPE) also are printed on FR-4 substrate, each of
which connected through a via hole to the ground. The proposed design has the advantage of movable
parasitic chip elements with the same motherboard to control the reconfigurable pattern direction as well
as operating frequency. It is also have the advantages of parasitic elements rotation to fit
reception/transmission required steering angle. The results obtained show that the steering angle of the
main beam in the H-plane depends upon the dimension of the parasitic element substrate as well as the
type of the patch antenna. The presented antenna is suitable for different application, including Wifi and
WiMax systems.

1. Introduction
Over the past ten years, many antennas have been proven to be a very effective and sensitive part
a communication system. Interference, energy waste, noisy environment and shadowing are the
most serious problems that result in performance degradation of wireless communication systems.
The solution to these problems is to direct the pattern to a desired user. This can be carried out
using pattern reconfiguration (steering pattern) antenna techniques. This can effectively save
energy and also overcome reception of unwanted signals. Antenna reconfiguration is classified
into three categories, namely frequency, pattern and polarization reconfiguration. The first type is
based upon controlling the frequency of radiating element within a specific margin without
changing other radiating characteristics. One method or realizing frequency reconfiguration is by
using Micro Electro Mechanical System Switch MEMS switches to switch between three types of
antennas combined in one body to select different frequency bands (0.824–0.894 GHz, 1.75–2.48
GHz, 3.3–3.6 GHz) [1].Another approach is based upon using planar inverted F-antenna and a

The two parasitic elements which have the dimensionW1= 0.9W mm, L1= 0.97 L mm are set on
a substrate FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm and copper pins used as switches. The pins
exist in the parasitic elements located on the lower left hand corner of the left element or on the
lower right hand corner of the right element. These switches have three modes, namely director-
reflector (DR) mode, reflector- director (RD) mode and reflector- reflector (RR) mode. The DR
mode exists when pin in right element is shorted (the right element is reflector, left element is
director). The RD mode exists when pin in left element is shorted (the right element is director,
left element is reflector), The RR mode exists when pins in left, right element are shorted (the
right, left elements are reflectors). Coupling between active and parasitic elements, controls the
radiation pattern. The physical dimensions of the proposed antenna are given in Table 1. It is
worth noting that the dimension selected are the same as those of the antenna given in [5] in order
to make it easier to comparison.

3. Results Discussion and experimental verification
The proposed microstrip antenna has been simulated using CST software package when different
types of substrate have been used. Table 2 gives a summary of the results if using different
substrate with different values of relative permittivity (εr) at the same height as the motherboard
which is 1.6mm. The optimum physical dimension of this antenna is shown in the first row,
which gives the better efficiency and doesn’t shift the resonance frequency because of using the
same material substrate as the mother board. This results in reducing the losses that may occur
when using different material substrates.

BW in MHz
As could be noticed from Table 2, the tilt angle of the far field pattern is highly affected by the
material relative permittivity and it is little bit shifted when using material with small relative
permittivity while it is largely changed when using high ones. Side lobe levels also increase as the
material relative permittivity increases. This is because of high losses in case of high relative
permittivity materials. The reflection coefficient curves for dielectric materials with different
relative permittivity are shown in Figure 2, It is observed from Figure 2 and table 2 that
increasing value of the parasitic relative permittivity, increases main lobe tilt angle and decreases
bandwidth and gain. It is clear that as the dielectric permittivity increases the return loss increases
hence very small amount of power is forward to radiating element and hence radiating
characteristics can be degraded. The best result occurs when we choose parasitic elements
substrate to be of the same material as that of mother board (Fr4=4.3). This reduces the dielectric
losses that may occur when choosing different materials with different relative permittivity. It is
also noticed from the curve that, as the value of parasitic element material relative permittivity
exceeds that of the relative permittivity of mother board, the resonance frequency shifted by 100
MHz.

It is clear from this table that the tilt angle is affected by the rotation of the parasitic elements. But
the parameters are in general not much affected.
Figure 9: rotation angle versus pattern tilt angle
Figure 9 shows the relation between parasitic element orientation and the beam tilt angle. It is
clear that the relation is non-continuous. This means that an optimization process should be
adopted to select the suitable rotation angle to give the required beam tilt angle.
Table 5: comparison between pervious and proposed work
Table 5 gives a comparison between the simulated results of the patch with rotated parasitic
elements (γ=10°), and the patch with non-rotated parasitic elements (γ=0°) and the patch in ref
[5]. It is clear that the highest tilt angles are obtained with the rotated patches. The result is also

Pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna with on chip parasitic elements has been proposed and
designed. It has been demonstrated that flexible pattern reconfigurable antenna can be achieved
with better gain of 5.6 dB and bandwidth of 309MHz. The proposed design is characterized by
physical removal or placement of parasitic elements so as to fit system requirements or
environmental changes. The compact size of the antenna and its characteristics makes it
appropriate for WiMax and Wifi application.
