| Manuscript Title: | A Compact Four Port SIW-Based Self- Quadruplexing Antenna with Improved Isolation |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-6-353004 |
| Abstract: | This paper presents a compact, planar
self quadruplexing antenna using Substrate
Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology with an
innovative orthogonal patch configuration and
asymmetric slotting. Unlike existing designs, the
proposed antenna achieves quad band operation
(6, 7.59, 11.25, 13.49 GHz) across C, X, and Ku
bands. It offers high inter port isolation
(>33.5 dB) and independent tuning of each band
through simple patch length variation. This
design
eliminates the need for external
multiplexing circuitry, maintaining a compact size
(0.35?0 × 0.35?0), and demonstrates superior gain
(>8 dBi) and cross polarization suppression
(>33 dB), making it ideal for compact, high
frequency wireless systems. |

| Manuscript Title: | A Frequency Selective Surface-Backed Microwave Sensor for Brain Tumor Detection |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-7-353014 |
| Abstract: | This paper introduces a microwave-based sensor
designed to operate in the sub-6 GHz frequency band for the diagnosis and
detection of brain tumors. The approach leverages the variation in antenna
performance parameters to detect the presence of a tumor in the brain. In order
to enhance the radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna, a frequency
selective surface (FSS) is positioned at the rear end of the antenna to enhance
the gain and directivity. High gain and directivity properties of an antenna enhance
its ability to penetrate the human tissues, thereby improving its effectiveness
in detecting any abnormality. Simulations are executed by utilizing a
multilayered head model, which includes layers representing Skin, Skull, and
brain tissues. Later measurements were done on a near-realistic phantom
mimicking a healthy human brain. Upon insertion of a tumor of size 6 × 6 × 6 mm3
within the brain layer of the phantom, the proposed system demonstrates a
notable variation of about 14 dB in S-parameters. Furthermore, the variation of
S-parameters with various tumor shapes and sizes has also been investigated.
The results indicate that the characterization of S-parameters can potentially
be used for identifying the tumor presence in the brain. |

| Manuscript Title: | Investigation of the Characteristics of Microstrip Antenna with Integrated Butterfly Slot using the Fractal Method for IoT Applications |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-7-353016 |
| Abstract: | The development of wireless communication in the Internet of Things (IoT) era requires antennas with high performance, compact dimensions, and optimal radiation efficiency. This study aims to design and implement a butterflyshaped slot microstrip antenna integrated with a fractal method to address the limitations of conventional antennas, particularly regarding narrow bandwidth, high return loss, and low impedance matching. The research process was conducted through simulation and experimental approaches, where the antenna was designed with dimensions of 38 × 30 mm² using an FR4 substrate and then tested using a Vector Network Analyzer and an anechoic chamber. Test results showed a significant improvement in antenna characteristics, with a return loss of -43.71 dB, VSWR of 1.11, bandwidth of 1.19 GHz, and operating frequency of 2.41 GHz. The resulting radiation pattern is omnidirectional, although the gain value is relatively low at 2.15 dBi due to the even power distribution in all directions. This study also reports that applying butterfly slots combined with fractal techniques can enhance the overall performance of microstrip antennas, making them potentially applicable in IoT communication systems that require high efficiency and broad signal coverage. |

| Manuscript Title: | High Performance UWB Antenna Design for RTLS Modules in Precision Geo-Fencing Applications |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-8-353029 |
| Abstract: | This research article details the design, development and experimental
validation of a slot-loaded dual band notched UWB antenna integrated with a UWB
RTLS module for geo-fencing applications. The proposed antenna is printed on a
FR4 substrate, features a compact size of 40*40*1.6 mm3 and exhibits
a gain of 3.11dBi. Simulation and measurement results indicate that the
designed antenna can cover the frequency range from 2.69GHz to 11.16GHz.
Additionally, it provides band notch capabilities at two specific frequency
bands: 3.2-3.75GHz (WiMAX) and 5.05-5.9GHz (Wi-Fi). This proposed antenna
effectively reduces interference from the specified wireless systems within the
UWB frequency range. The antenna’s performance was evaluated by integrating it
with a UWB RTLS module (TREK1000) in various scenarios to ensure it meets the
stringent requirements for precise boundary monitoring. The study involved
configuring different distances between the anchor and tag, observing the
system’s response to proximity breaches. The results produced by the RTLS
modules after integrating the proposed antenna were verified using suitable
methods. This consistent performance underscores the antenna’s reliability and
integration capability with TREK1000 module, proving its suitability for real
world geo-fencing applications. |

| Manuscript Title: | Analysis of A First Order Microstrip Bandpass Filter Using Quarter Wave Transmission Lines for Wireless Communication Applications |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-8-353031 |
| Abstract: | In one way or another, the application of
the filtering function in high-frequency devices has contributed the
development of contemporary electronic systems. Multi-band microwave filters,
which may cover many frequency bands with a single device, have allowed researchers
to design more compact systems. This article describes the design, analysis,
and testing of a penta band microwave bandpass filter for wireless communication
applications. In order to modify the filter's resonant frequency according to
the desired resonating frequency bands, a H-shaped resonator inside a
concentric rectangular loop connected to the quarter wavelength transmission
line is designed, analyzed and tested. H-shaped resonator occupies an area of
12 mm x 34 mm (0.06 ?g x 0.02 ?g), ?g is the
guided wavelength at 1.8 GHz. H-shaped resonator is designed by using An-soft
HFSSv13, fabricated on Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 by using chemical etching and is tested
by utilizing Anritsu combinational analyzer MS2037C. H-shaped resonator
resonates at 1.8 GHz, 5.1 GHz, 8.3 GHz, 10 GHz and 12 GHz with S11
of -45.13 dB, -30.97 dB, -24.56 dB, -28.54 dB and -28 dB with FBW of 27.7%,
42.39%, 9.34%, 7.24% and 11.03% respectively. H-shaped resonator offers an S12
of 0.2 dB and group delay of 0.2 nS at all the resonating frequencies. These
results make the resonator suitable for LTE band, WLAN band, X-band and Ku-band
wireless communication applications. |

| Manuscript Title: | Isosceles Triangular Microstrip Antenna Against Varying Angle For Circular Polarized Response |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-8-353039 |
| Abstract: | The circular polarized design obtained using a pair
of slots exhibits variation in the broadside gain over the axial ratio
bandwidth. This paper investigates the circular polarized response given by unequal
length pair of slots cut in an isosceles triangular microstrip antenna against
increasing isosceles angle. Unequal slot lengths yield orthogonal surface current
distributions at the modified TM11 mode on the isosceles patch that assist
in the generation circular polarized radiation. In terms of axial ratio
bandwidth and gain characteristics, slots cut 800 isosceles geometry
yield optimum results. It achieves a simulated axial ratio bandwidth of 81 MHz
(5.46%), which lies inside the reflection coefficient bandwidth of 540 MHz
(39.73%). The slots cut 800 isosceles patch yield a stable broadside
gain of more than 6 dBic over the axial ratio bandwidth, thus making it
suitable for practical wireless applications. An experimental validation for
the proposed 800 design has been carried out, which shows close
agreement with the simulated result. |

| Manuscript Title: | Dual-Band Monopole Antenna for 5G-NR N78 Band Applications Using K-coupled elements |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-9-353046 |
| Abstract: | In recent years, the rapid advancement of
wireless communication technologies has driven the need for compact, efficient,
and high-performance antenna systems, especially for emerging 5G networks and
satellite communication applications. Several existing MIMO antenna
architectures rely on complex feeding networks or expensive substrate materials
to achieve reasonable isolation and gain, which can increase the production
cost and complexity of the system. Furthermore, many designs struggle to
maintain stable radiation patterns and low ECC across dual-band operations,
particularly in the crowded sub-6 GHz spectrum where 5G-NR N78 band and C-band
communications operate. Compared to these conventional methods, the proposed
dual K-coupled 1×2 MIMO antenna system offers a significant advancement by
employing a simple yet effective 50 O feeding mechanism on an economical and
widely available FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4. This approach
not only ensures cost efficiency but also achieves superior isolation and
diversity performance through optimal element placement and innovative coupling
techniques. The compact 54 × 30 mm² design, with elements spaced 3 mm apart,
reduces mutual interference and insertion loss below -40 dB, surpassing many
prior implementations. Additionally, the antenna demonstrates stable dual-band
radiation patterns and exceptional metrics such as ECC below 0.003 and peak
gains exceeding 5.3 dBi, making it highly suitable for 5G-NR N78, Wi-Fi, and
C-band satellite communication. |

| Manuscript Title: | Structural and Optical Characterization of Bis-(4-Hydroxy-1-Naphthyl) Phenylmethanol-Doped Polyvinyl Alcohol Films |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-4-352965 |
| Abstract: | Consistent Bis-(4-Hydroxy-1-Naphthyl)
phenylmethanol (BHP)-doped PVA film was
effectively deposited by applying the casting
process to prepare several samples with varying
concentrations. The BHP: PVA film was analyzed
using atomic force microscopy (AFM), which
created
histograms,
distributed
intensity
assessments, and microscopic surface scanning.
The complex aromatic structure of BHP is
expected to enhance light absorption and improve
electrical conductivity in the PVA matrix. The
optical properties were investigated, including
absorbance spectrum, optical bandgap, Urbach
energy, extinction coefficient, and dielectric
function. Doping PVA with BHP reduced the
energy gap and increased the Urbach tail as the
dye concentration increased, with a reversal of
this behavior observed at a 100% BHP
concentration ratio. The irregular behavior
observed in this study suggests that molecular
aggregation becomes effective at high doping
degrees, which opens a new way to modify the
optical properties of polymer-based films. |

| Manuscript Title: | Realization of All-Optical NOT, AND, and OR Gates in C-Band Based on Plasmonic Technology |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-7-353015 |
| Abstract: | Plasma logical gates are a promising
technical innovation that can increase the
performance of optical systems due to their small
size and wide range of optical interference effects.
Despite the numerous previous studies in this field,
most of them still remain somewhat complex in
structure and large dimensions, only to indicate
poor contrast, which reduces their practical
applicability
in
high-signal
communication
systems. This work presents a novel design for
three plasmonic all optical logic gates, designed
and fully implemented in the C-band at a
wavelength of 1552 nm using the COMSOL
Multiphysics software. The proposed style is ultra
compact (150 x 150) nm and relies on an
unprecedented geometric structure consisting of a
rectangular nanoring resonator and four silver
strips, integrated with a low refractive index
dielectric material to precisely control the optical
interactions. The essential addition in the
suggested design is the precise control of
constructive and destructive interference between
the input signal and the control signal, which
reduced the threshold transmission value to only
0.21, a significant improvement over most
previously published designs. The innovative
model also featured a higher contrast ratio and
better modulation depth, along with an operating
speed of up to 50 Gbps and an instant response
time, making it an ideal candidate for developing
efficient integrated optical logic circuits in high
speed and capacity communications systems. |

| Manuscript Title: | Performance Trade-Offs Between Wavelengths in Fog for FMCW LiDAR Systems: A Monte Carlo-Based Study |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-9-353044 |
| Abstract: | Although several studies have explored
LiDAR degradation in fog, most rely on simplified
extinction models or omit the interaction between
scattering physics and FMCW signal processing.
This work introduces a full end-to-end simulation
framework that couples Monte Carlo radiative
transfer parameterized by log-normal fog
microphysics and Henyey-Greenstein or Mie
scattering with a baseband FMCW synthesis that
directly generates range-FFT spectra. Unlike
prior work, this integration captures how
volumetric backscatter, multiple scattering, and
aperture/FOV geometry manifest in the actual
beat spectrum and affect detection performance.
The framework quantifies signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR), carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), penetration
range, and false-alarm statistics across 905, 1310,
and 1550 nm under visibility-indexed fog
scenarios. Results confirm the expected reduction
of backscatter at longer wavelengths, but also
reveal new trade-offs: 1550 nm consistently yields
the lowest clutter floor and stable medium-range
detection, while 905 nm benefits from superior
silicon-detector responsivity but suffers stronger
fog clutter and stricter eye-safety limits. By
explicitly linking scattering physics with FMCW
system behavior, this study provides original,
quantitative guidance for wavelength selection in
automotive LiDAR, complementing and extending
prior extinction-only analyses. |

| Manuscript Title: | Performance evaluation and comparison of external modulators in Radio over Fibre system for IoT applications |
| Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-9-353052 |
| Abstract: | The integration of IoT and Radio over
Fibre (RoF) enables high-capacity, low-latency
communication for smart cities, automation, and
rural connectivity. This paper designs an RoF
system using Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM)
and
Electro-Absorption Modulator (EAM)
modulators, compares their performance, and
finds EAM superior due to better Q-factor,
making it more suitable for IoT applications.
While most existing RoF studies focus on
conventional systems, the proposed work is
designed for IoT applications using an EAM
modulator, achieving a Q-factor of 13.86 and a
BER of 5.5x10-44. The obtained Q-factor and BER
maintain the integrity of the transmitted signal,
which further preserves the signal fidelity, making
IoT deployment more reliable and scalable than
with conventional modulators. This design is made
for short-range IoT RoF in which the maximum
channel capacity is limited by modulator
bandwidth (a few Gbps). |
