An antenna is disclosed. The antenna includes a transparent substrate, a first square patch antenna element with a square lattice structure, a second square patch antenna element and a low profile transparent passive decoupling strip. The first square patch antenna element is disposed on the transparent substrate. The first square patch antenna element includes horizontal conductive wires and vertical conductive wires. The horizontal conductive wires and the vertical conductive wires cross each other and are equally spaced to form square spaces between. The second square patch antenna element is disposed on the transparent substrate. The second square patch antenna element has a structure identical to the structure of the first square patch antenna element. The first and the second square patch antenna elements are spaced apart from each other. The low profile transparent passive decoupling strip is disposed between the first and the second square patch antenna elements.

A shared aperture multi-band antenna is described. The antenna includes a dielectric circuit board, a folded dipole microstrip antenna, and a lumped inductor. The folded dipole microstrip antenna is formed on a top side of the dielectric circuit board. The microstrip antenna includes two meander paths. The two meander paths enclose a shared aperture therebetween. The lumped inductor is inserted across a first gap near the third edge. A first pair of parallel metallic patches, a second pair of parallel metallic patches, and a third pair of parallel metallic patches are located on the bottom side. The antenna resonates in a dual band frequency range comprising a first resonance band in a range of 0.4 GHz to 0.6 GHz and a second resonance band in a range of 4.7 GHZ to 5.8 GHz upon application of an input signal at both a first feed port and a second feed port.

A method of recovering a hydrocarbon from a reservoir, whereby an oil recovery formulation containing carboxylic acid functionalized-pyrolyzed date leaf particles is injected into the reservoir, and the hydrocarbon is collected from the reservoir. The carboxylic acid functionalized-pyrolyzed date leaf particles are obtained sequentially from date leaves by cutting the date leaves and drying, pulverizing in the presence of a metal bicarbonate, pyrolyzing at 700 to 1,000&#xb0; C., and treating the product thus obtained with an acid solution that includes nitric acid to introduce carboxylic acid functional groups.
