A new microwave dielectric resonator Ba(Tb1/2Nb1/2)03 has been prepared and characterized in the microwave frequency region. 1 wt% CeO2 is used as additive to reduce the sintering temperature. The sintered samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and Raman spectroscopic methods. Microwave DR properties such as er, Q factor and temperature-coefficient of resonant frequency (Ti) have been measured using a HP 8510 B Network Analyzer. Cylindrical DRs of Ba(Tb1/2Nbi/2)03 showed high Er (~ 37), high Q (~3,200) and low Tf (~10 ppm /°C) at 4 GHz and hence are useful for practical applications

Abstract:
Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) bioceramic and
chitosan (poly [( -1-4) D-glucosamine]) biopolymer show good biocompatibility
in vivo. They have biological origin and show excellent interactions
with microwave. Microwave study of HAp made using different
drying techniques and their composites with chitosan in the ISM band is
presented. Pastes are made using HAp and chitosan with different ratios
of mixing. The dielectric properties of this composites match with that of
human fat, collagen tissues. Some of the compositions exhibit dielectric
property close to that of natural bone. This makes them more
biocompatible and better substitutes for natural bone. Thus composite
bioceramics can be considered as phantom model constituents for
imaging purposes. Their dielectric properties prove that they are
biocompatible.

Abstract:
A novel cavity perturbation technique using coaxial cavity resonators for the measurement of complex permittivity of liquids is presented. The method employs two types of resonators (Resonator I and Resonator II). Resonator I operates in the frequency range 600 MHz-7 GHz and resonator II operates in the frequency range 4 GHz-14 GHz. The introduction of the capillary tube filled with the sample liquid into the coaxial resonator causes shifts in the resonance frequency and loaded Q-factor of the resonator. The shifts in the resonance frequency and loaded Q-factor are used to determine the real and imaginary parts of the complex permittivity of the sample liquid, respectively. Using this technique, the dielectric parameters of water and nitrobenzene are measured. The results are compared with those obtained using other standard methods. The sources of errors are analyzed.

improved by modifying the feed geometry. The 10 dB return loss
bandwidth is enhanced from 12 to 26% without much affecting the

Abstract:
A new dual port microstrip antenna geometry for dual frequency
operation is presented. The structure consists of the intersection
of two circles of the same radius with their centres displaced by a
small fraction of the wavelength . This antenna provides wide
impedance bandwidth and excellent isolation between its ports.
The gain of the antenna is comparable to that of a standard
circular microstrip antenna operating at the same resonant
frequency. A theoretical analysis for calculating the resonant
frequencies of the two ports is also presented

Abstract:
The detection of buried objects using time-domain freespace
measurements was carried out in the near field. The location of a
hidden object was determined from an analysis of the reflected signal.
This method can be extended to detect any number of objects. Measurements
were carried out in the X- and Ku-bands using ordinary rectangular
pyramidal horn antennas of gain 15 dB. The same antenna was
used as the transmitter and recei er. The experimental results were
compared with simulated results by applying the two-dimensional
finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method, and agree well with each
other. The dispersi e nature of the dielectric medium was considered for
the simulation.

Abstract:
Design and development of a circularly polarized and matched H-plane sectorial horn antenna have been reported By
proper trimming of the flange parameters any desired polarization can be obtained from the horn
Design of a dual-port circular patch antenna with a sector-slot for dual-frequency operation is presented. The antenna resonates at two distinct frequencies with orthogonal polarizations and broad radiation characteristics. Unlike the conventional circular patch, this antenna can be microstrip-fed to operate at either of the resonances. The two polarizations can be simultaneously excited using two electromagnetically coupled ports with an isolation better than −30 dB between the ports. This antenna has the added advantage of size reduction of 44% compared to the conventional circular patch without any reduction in gain.
