    Linearly Polarized and Circularly Polarized Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna
    (Electromagnetics Academy, 2022) Usha, L.; Kandasamy, K.
    This paper presents the design of a novel aperture coupled cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna with linear polarization and circular polarization. The linearly polarized cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (LP CDRA) with proposed aperture and microstrip feed line excites three hybrid radiating modes (HEM11δ, HEM21δ, and HEM13δ) in three impedance bands. The circularly polarized cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CP CDRA) with proposed aperture and flag-shaped feed line excites six different hybrid radiation modes (HEM11δ, HEM21δ-like, HEM21δ, HEM12δ, HEM13δ, HEM14δ) in three impedance bands and three CP bands. A different sense of CP is reported. The antennas operate in both C and X bands. © 2022, Electromagnetics Academy. All rights reserved.

    Aperture-Coupled Plasmonic Ring Resonator-Based Temperature Sensor: 3-D FEM Modeling
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Thayaba Nausheen, A.; Nakul Nayak, B.V.; Khanna, A.; Singh, M.
    Nanophotonic ring resonators have emerged as promising candidates for sensing applications due to their high sensitivity and compact footprint. In this study, we investigated a 3-D aperture-coupled plasmonic microring resonator (AC-PMRR)-cum-plasmonic spectral shaper as a temperature sensor using finite-element method (FEM). The sensor operates based on the principle of the temperature-dependent refractive index change of the surrounding medium, which modulates the resonance characteristics of the microring. The aperture coupling technique enhances the sensitivity and allows efficient excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances. We analyzed the sensing performance of the proposed device through rigorous numerical simulations. The effects of various design parameters, such as ring radius, aperture size, and coupling distance, on the sensor's performance are systematically examined. Furthermore, we explore the influence of material properties and temperature range on the sensor's sensitivity and resolution. The proposed refractive index sensor demonstrates a high sensitivity of ~0.065 nm/K, the figure of merit of ~102 RIU1, and detection accuracy of ~0.32 nm1, making it suitable for various temperature sensing applications in fields such as environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and industrial process control. © 2024 IEEE.
