  • Antenna Gain Measurement Using Image Theory
    i ANTENNA GAIN MEASUREMENT USING IMAGE THEORY SANDRAWARMAN A/L BALASUNDRAM A project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the degree Master of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia JANUARY 2014 v ABSTRACT This report presents the measurement result of a passive horn antenna gain by only using metallic reflector and vector network analyzer, according to image theory. This method is an alternative way to conventional methods such as the three antennas method and the two antennas method. The gain values are calculated using a simple formula using the distance between the antenna and reflector, operating frequency, S- parameter and speed of light. The antenna is directed towards an absorber and then directed towards the reflector to obtain the S11 parameter using the vector network analyzer. The experiments are performed in three locations which are in the shielding room, anechoic chamber and open space with distances of 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 3m and 4m. The results calculated are compared and analyzed with the manufacture’s data. The calculated data have the best similarities with the manufacturer data at distance of 0.5m for the anechoic chamber with correlation coefficient of 0.93 and at a distance of 1m for the shield room and open space with correlation coefficient of 0.79 and 0.77 but distort at distances of 2m, 3m and 4m at all of the three places. This proves that the single antenna method using image theory needs less space, time and cost to perform it.

  • Design of a Class of Antennas Utilizing MEMS, EBG and Septum Polarizers Including Near-Field Coupling Analysis
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Design of a Class of Antennas Utilizing MEMS, EBG and Septum Polarizers including Near-field Coupling Analysis A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering by Ilkyu Kim 2012 c Copyright by Ilkyu Kim 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Design of a Class of Antennas Utilizing MEMS, EBG and Septum Polarizers including Near-field Coupling Analysis by Ilkyu Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Yahya Rahmat-Samii, Chair Recent developments in mobile communications have led to an increased appearance of short-range communications and high data-rate signal transmission. New technologies provides the need for an accurate near-field coupling analysis and novel antenna designs. An ability to effectively estimate the coupling within the near-field region is required to realize short-range communications. Currently, two common techniques that are applicable to the near-field coupling problem are 1) integral form of coupling formula and 2) generalized Friis formula. These formulas are investigated with an emphasis on straightforward calculation and accuracy for various distances between the two antennas. The coupling formulas are computed for a variety of antennas, and several antenna configurations are evaluated through full-wave simulation and indoor measurement in order to validate these techniques. In addition, this research aims to design multi- functional and high performance antennas based on MEMS (Microelectromechanical ii Systems) switches, EBG (Electromagnetic Bandgap) structures, and septum polarizers. A MEMS switch is incorporated into a slot loaded patch antenna to attain frequency reconfigurability.

C. Brégains, F. Ares, and E. Moreno Grupo de Sistemas Radiantes, Departamento de Física Aplicada, Facultad de Física, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. 15782 - Santiago de Compostela – Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT An improving method -based on Taylor line source- that allocates a quasi-null in a specified angular position of near field pattern, and, simultaneously, controls the general topography of far-field sidelobe level -without significantly loss of directivity, compared with optimal effi- ciency Taylor distribution, of the latter- is presented in this article. The method is based on the application of the Simulated Annealing technique, by achieving the complex roots of the pattern distribution. An example developed below demonstrates this accomplishment. 1. INTRODUCTION In some antenna applications it is necessary the reduction of the field magnitude in a particu- lar angular position; either, for example, to avoid the radiation in a certain specific direction, or the reception of the signal in order to keep it away from some interference, null controlling is widely applied by antenna’s designers. Previous papers [1-3] indicate that some authors 1 have achieved null controlling or steering but only using far field patterns. These examples do not face the problem of near field radiation (or reception), so the named results have not the capability neither to avoid the perturbation caused by obstacles close to the antenna, nor radi- ating with undesired relatively high power in an certain angular position at the neighborhood of it.

  • How to Measure All Types of Antennas Using Very-Near-Field Measurement by Ruska Patton, Director, Product Management and Ning Yang, Principal Antenna Engineer
    How to Measure All Types of Antennas Using Very-Near-Field Measurement by Ruska Patton, Director, Product Management and Ning Yang, Principal Antenna Engineer RFxpert test result CTIA Chamber test result How to Measure All Types of Antennas Using Very-Near-Field Measurement Introduction Antennas that fail to meet specified design criteria, regulatory requirements or consumer satisfaction either rapidly find the scrap heap or cause costly delays. If the antenna in question actually makes it to market and consumers identify a problem, it can create a widespread public relations nightmare. Designers therefore need to characterize an antenna to meet performance criteria including desired frequency, gain, bandwidth, impedance, efficiency and polarization. Traditional antenna characterization requires full-fledged far-field testing or gathering near-field data sets to project far-field patterns. Unfortunately, the planar sampling mode, the fastest and least costly traditional near- or far-field technique, only generates reliable results for directional antennas. Omnidirectional antennas must currently be sampled in spherical mode in a sufficiently large shielded test chamber to overcome potential sensor coupling. For an omnidirectional antenna under test (AUT), such a system also requires a three-axis (X, Y, and Z) robot system and many sampling points. Every traditional antenna testing method thus requires a trained technician and a large shielded chamber. These requirements prove costly both as a capital outlay and an ongoing operations expense. To overcome these hurdles, a novel very-near-field technology based on a probe array samples the AUT on a plane surface at a distance of 2.5 cm. The AUT can be either directional or omnidirectional.
