Today’s network especially LAN has drastically changed. People expect that they should not be bound to the network. In this scenario, Wireless (WLAN) offers tangible benefits over traditional wired networking. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Wi-Fi works on three modes namely Ad hoc, Infrastructure and Extended modes. Ad hoc network is P2P mode. Ad hoc does not use any intermediary device such as Access Point. Infra Structure and Extended modes use Access Point as interface between wireless clients. The wireless network is formed by connecting all the wireless clients to the AP. Single access point can support up to 30 users and can function within a range of 100 – 150 feet indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors. The coverage area depends upon the location where the AP is being placed. The AP has the traditional Omni directional antenna The aim of this project is to increase the coverage area of an AP by replacing the traditional Omni directional antenna with Bi-quad antenna with parabolic reflector.

  • Size Reduction of an Uwb Low-Profile Spiral Antenna
    SIZE REDUCTION OF AN UWB LOW-PROFILE SPIRAL ANTENNA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brad A. Kramer, M.S., B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John L. Volakis, Adviser Adjunct Professor Chi-Chih Chen Adviser Associate Professor Fernando L. Teixeira Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering c Copyright by Brad A. Kramer 2007 ABSTRACT Fundamental physical limitations restrict antenna performance based on its elec- trical size alone. These fundamental limitations are of the utmost importance since the minimum size needed to achieve a particular figure of merit can be determined from them. In this dissertation, the physical limitations on the size reduction of a broadband antenna is examined theoretically and experimentally. This is in contrast to previous research that focused on narrowband antennas. Specifically, size reduction using antenna miniaturization techniques is considered and explored through the ap- plication of high-contrast material and reactive loading. A particular example is the miniaturization of a broadband spiral using readily available high-contrast dielectrics and a novel inductive loading technique. Using either dielectric or inductive loading, it is shown that the size can be reduced by more than a factor of two which is close to the observed theoretical limit. To enable the realization of a conformal antenna without the loss of the antenna’s broadband characteristics, a novel ground plane is introduced. The proposed ground plane consists of a traditional metallic ground plane coated with a layer of ferrite material.

  • A Study on a Miniaturized Planar Spiral Antenna for Partial Discharge Detection in GIS

Hence the authors designed a sensor of miniaturized planar spiral antenna for detecting PD in gas insulated substations (GISs), which is sine-wave meandered based on the traditional Ar- chimedean spiral antenna in order to reduce the antenna’s size. The test results indicate that this antenna has a wide-frequency band of 0.92~3GHz in terms of the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) which is smaller than 2. The antenna is smaller and its structure is simpler, its diameter is 97mm and its height is 51mm˗Besides, this antenna has an ultra-wideband, great directivity and the feature of omnidirectional radiation. Therefore, the pro- posed antenna is quite promising for PD on-line detection applications.

  • PATTERN OPTIMIZATION in an UWB SPIRAL ARRAY ANTENNA A. Jafargholi and M. Kamyab Department of Electrical Engineering K. N. Toosi
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 11, 137{151, 2010 PATTERN OPTIMIZATION IN AN UWB SPIRAL ARRAY ANTENNA A. Jafargholi and M. Kamyab Department of Electrical Engineering K. N. Toosi University of Technology Iran Abstract|We have proposed a new architecture for an array in which the elements are placed on a spiral curve in order to obtain an ultra wideband (UWB) radiation pattern. In addition, array factor and bandwidth of the proposed spiral array are calculated. Simulated results obtained by SuperNEC and CST software have shown good agreement with the analytic calculations. Although the proposed antenna array is wideband in nature, it lacks desirable e±ciency, due to poor front to back ratio (FBR) and sidelobe level (SLL). In this paper, we have chosen three di®erent approaches in order to improve the e±ciency of proposed array. First, the e®ect of length and thickness tapering of elements has been studied. Second, we have used Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimized pattern shape. Finally, the influence of metamaterial cover on array performance has been investigated. Although the ¯rst and second methods improve the radiation pattern, the array bandwidth is reduced. It is shown that the third method improves array directivity and FBR by 5{7 dB and 15{17 dB respectively within the frequency band of operation. 1. INTRODUCTION In the design procedures of an UWB array antennas three main factors should be highly considered. These parameters are array elements, array architecture and feed networks. Appropriate combinations among these factors will determine the performance of array antenna [1]. Several array elements have been introduced previously in [2, 3].
