Wideband and UWB Antennas for Wireless Applications: A Comprehensive Review by Renato Cicchetti, Emanuela Miozzi, Orlandino Testa

“…The performances of small, low-profile, and dielectric resonator antennas are illustrated paying particular attention to the application areas concerning portable devices (mobile phones, tablets, glasses, laptops, wearable computers, etc.) and radio base stations. This information provides a guidance to the selection of the different antenna geometries in terms of bandwidth, gain, field polarization, time-domain response, dimensions, and materials useful for their realization and integration in modern communication systems.…”

Large-Time-Step-Based Ray-Tracing Modeling of Light Delivery in One-Sidedly Cladding-Removed Step-Index Plastic Optical Fiber under Arbitrary Weave Structure by Sun Hee Moon, In Hwan Sul

“…The final objective is to use “light” as a new media for information delivery in wearable computers. A large-time-step-based ray-tracing algorithm, which was improved from our previous research, was used to simulate the light vector movement in a complex weave structure efficiently. …”
