I submitted my manuscript to the IEEE and got useful and constructive comments. However, one of the reviewer’s comments were not clear to me! It says:
“The antenna proposed in this paper needs to be optimized. Because the s-parameters also impacts PTE”.
I am working on the optimization of spiral coils. I optimized the type of coils and distance between them to obtain the maximum power transfer efficiency based on the resonant frequency. The reviewer’s comment is not clear for me. What does the review mean about the antenna?!!! Coil or lumped port that I modeled? So, it really confuses me to receive this comment!! Can you explain what it might mean, please! You can see the attached file for further explanation.
There is only a picture in the attached file - is that what you meant?
The reviewer may be right, but I don't understand the comment. They are not really antennas in the proper use of the word, they form a transformer with moderate-to-high coupling. Some further optimisation may be possible in terms of number of turns or different sizes of the two, but I don't know.
The coupling between them can be described by S-parameters, but you may already be doing that. There is no point doing anything with them to do with radiation into free space without the other coil there, (s-parameters as far-field antenna) because that has no bearing on the operation as a transformer.
An alternative is for you to send a message to the handling editor of your submission, simply stating the question that you would like to have an answer to.
Editors are supposed to guide the process towards a final decision, without any personal agenda, and normally it works just fine.
Malcolm White Thank you for answering my question.
Yes. I mean the only image file and it is my coil model using two lumped port which is analyzed using ANSYS HFSS. I did some optimization in terms of number of coils, distance between the coils and pitch of coils. In addition, I modeled 6 type of coils ( different geometries) and I selected the coil with maximum power transfer efficiency. The optimization is based on the maximum power transfer efficiency. I plotted the S11, S12, and S22 versus frequency especially at the resonant frequency.
I confuse with reviewer's comment. Should I optimize the coil again with different parameter!? How the effect of S-parameter on the PTE? Should I change the type of ports or distance between them or port input?
I am looking forward to hearing from you any comments or suggestions.
Thanks
Michael Patriksson Thank you for replying to my question. The IEEE journal that I submitted my manuscript returns my manuscript with update and resubmit. I should answer to all reviewer's comment and in my opinion, associate editor can't do anything for me due to new round of review with different reviewers, if any.
Seyed Jamaleddin Mostafavi Yazdi I am sorry that I do not know anything to help you further.
