In 2013, Marcin Morys put together an excellent study in channel measurement and modeling of coronating antennas in high-voltage environments. In general, there was (and still is) a lack of understanding of high-voltage effects on antennas by a profession that wishes to proliferate “smart grid” sensors on power lines and high-voltage equipment. Morys’ comprehensive study in theory and practical measurement was the most complete treatment of the otherwise neglected field of antennas at high voltage. In particular, the effects of corona and both the noise processes and radiation alteration caused by these high-voltage plasmas proved to be one of the most original contributions of not only Morys’ work, but the lab in general. Download the following set of notes on the subject of plasma antennas.
HF Isolators for RFID
An isolator in RF engineering is an thin spacer placed between an antenna and an electromagnetically lossy object to improve radiation characteristics. Isolators are commonly used in RFID to overcome losses when RFID tags are placed on metallic objects. This set of notes provides an overview of HF (high-frequency) isolator operation using magnetic circuit theory. Notes for HF Isolators
UHF Isolators for RFID
An isolator in RF engineering is an thin spacer placed between an antenna and an electromagnetically lossy object to improve radiation characteristics. Isolators are commonly used in RFID to overcome losses when RFID tags are placed on metallic objects. This set of notes provides an overview of UHF (Ultra-high-frequency) and microwave isolator operation. Notes on UHF Isolators
UW Invited Talk on Low-Powered Microwave Backscatter — 2010!
The University of Washington EE Department hosts the Lytle Lecture series, dating back quite a ways. In addition to the recent lecture by Prof. Durgin, this series has — over the last decade — hosted numerous talks about how low-powered communications and energy-harvesting technology have changed over the years. Here is an example by a visiting Associate Professor in 2010. (Thanks to my friend, Prof. Denise Wilson, for the invitation.)
