Abstract:
Multi-sensor devices are well connected to each other and to the microcontrollers via wireless links. This technology introduces the interfacing problems not only in terms of signal processing, but also in the Electromagnetic (EM) links to perform Multi-sensor, Sensor arrays, Identification, Localization, Tracking, and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Radar applications. Because of the unpredictable sensor positioning, the link antennas must work in circular polarization, have large coverage and a small thickness to be located on walls, ceilings, platforms, etc. To satisfy these conditions, this paper presents a new kind of low profile antenna with circular polarization able to cover a large area. The use of Electronic Band Gap Low Profile Metamaterial (LP-EBG) satisfies all these specifications together.
