Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
In this thesis, a multiband stacked patch antenna for satellite communications is proposed. Since handheld devices used for satellite communications are mainly monopole antennas, this thesis explores the possibilities of developing a microstrip patch antenna that can be integrated in the satellite communications’ handheld devices. Therefore, a designed antenna for satellite communications that operates around the two bands 1.487 GHz and 1.578 GHz is proposed. The antenna composes of two stacked patches with total dimensions of 45 x 45 mm and 40 x 40 mm for the lower and upper patches, respectively, separated by FR_4 as a dielectric material. The proposed antenna is designed using the method of moments simulator of ADS and the simulations results show good performance in satellite communications bands with gain of 3.42 dBi and circular polarization from 1.453 GHz to 1.478 GHz. Additionally, the antenna shows multiple matching frequencies that can be used for other purposes along with the satellite communications. Moreover, this antenna is simple, easy to fabricate and manufacture, and implement on different devices comparing to other monopole antennas that serve the same purpose.
