Abstract: A millimeter-wave antenna for 5G applications is provided which includes an upper outer layer with a plurality of first radiating elements arranged spaced apart from each other on a first dielectric sublayer, a first inner layer arranged below the upper outer layer and having a plurality of through slots for conveying, towards the first radiating elements feeding signals to be radiated, a second inner layer arranged below and adjacent to the first inner layer having a dielectric sublayer on which there is arranged a plurality of conductive lines for conducting the feeding signals to be radiated towards the first radiating elements, a further inner layer arranged below and adjacent to the second inner layer, and a plurality of first through openings each formed on the further inner layer in a position corresponding to the position of an associated through slot.

Abstract: Antenna for a motor vehicle, comprising: a mounting base made of electrically conductive material and suitable for being connected to a mounting surface of the motor vehicle; a cover suitable for being connected to and delimit, together with the mounting base, a housing space; a plurality of radiating elements suitable for transceiving signals and being housed, at least partially, in the housing space. The plurality of radiating elements comprises a group of waveguides (21, 23, 25, 27) configured to transceive millimeter-wave signals.

Abstract: A method for determining parameters associated with bale charges formed within agricultural balers includes transmitting microwave signals through a charge of crop material located within a pre-compression chamber of an agricultural baler or into a wall of the pre-compression chamber. Additionally, the method includes determining at least one wave-related property associated with the microwave signals as transmitted through the charge of crop material or into the wall of the pre-compression chamber, and estimating a filling degree of at least a portion of the pre-compression chamber based at least in part on the at least one wave-related property associated with the microwave signals.
