Article Abstract
Spiral antenna sensors are commonly used in partial discharge (PD) ultra-high frequency (UHF) detection in gas-insulated switchgears (GISs). However, most of the existing UHF spiral antenna sensors are based on a rigid base and balun, such as FR-4. The safe built-in installation of antenna sensors requires the complex structural transformation of GISs. To solve this problem, a low-profile spiral antenna sensor is designed based on a polyimide (PI) flexible base, and its performance is optimized by improving the clearance ratio. The simulation and measurement results show that the profile height and diameter of the designed antenna sensor is 0.3 mm and 137 mm, which is 99.7% and 25.4% smaller than the traditional spiral antenna. Under a different bending radius, the antenna sensor can maintain VSWR ≤ 5 in 650 MHz~3 GHz, and its maximum is up to 6.1 dB. Finally, the PD detection performance of the antenna sensor is carried out on a real 220 kV GIS. The results show that, after being built in, the PD with a weak discharge magnitude of 4.5 pC can be effectively detected by the antenna sensor, and the antenna sensor has the ability to quantify the severity of PD. In addition, through the simulation, the antenna sensor has potential for the detection of micro water in GISs.

This study explores the potential of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) at the interface of a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D-PC) and vacuum, exploiting spectroscopic ellipsometry in a range that encompasses the mid-infrared (4000 cm to 200 cm). BSWs can be excited in both σ and π polarizations, which in the ellipsometric configuration can be detected at the same time, presenting distinct advantages for sensor applications targeting the growth of thin solid films and molecular monolayers, surface-adsorbed gas molecules, and liquid droplets. Compared to other sensing techniques exploiting mid-infrared vibrational absorption lines for chemical-specific sensitivity, like waveguides, nano-antenna arrays, metasurfaces, attenuated total reflectance (ATR) in crystals or in optical fibers, the present approach features high field enhancements, strong field confinement, and large quality factors of the resonances, all while relying on a rather simple and potentially low-cost configuration.

This study presents a compact reconfigurable asymmetric unit cell designed for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) transmit array (TA) antennas. Despite its compact size, the proposed unit cell achieves a broad bandwidth and low insertion loss. By breaking the symmetry of the unit cell and by implementing two MA4AGP910 pin diodes in the proposed unit cell, a phase difference of 180 degrees (1-bit configuration) is obtained in a wide frequency band.

One of the keys to medical microwave tomography is understanding the sensitivity of transmit-receive signals to changes in the electromagnetic properties to be reconstructed. This information is embedded in the Jacobian matrix for traditional inverse problem approaches and is a function of transmitter-receiver design characteristics and associated signal radiation/detection patterns. Previous efforts focused primarily on the 2D imaging problem for which sensitivity maps were generated in a single plane.
