Abstract Details

2006, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Electrical Engineering.
With the drive towards better and faster communication systems, wireless communications has assumed a new significance in today’s world. Further, with the rapid miniaturization and incorporation of RF technology in IC's, the real estate area available for a circuit has been greatly reduced. A good example of this integration of RF, analog and digital circuits on a single chip would be the three dimensional monolithic integrated circuits developed at the University of Cincinnati. In this context, it becomes all the more important to increase the efficiency of the antennae involved with these systems. This thesis tries to do just that by determining an optimum design for a patch antenna and also the best possible feed network for the same which would enhance its radiation properties as has been shown through the results obtained here. Patch antennae are used because of their popularity arising from their adaptability and unobtrusive nature. Furthermore, the mutual coupling between antennae in a 2 x 2 array when the antennae are linearly, non-linearly and circularly polarized is studied and compared. During this process, the frequency variation produced in such a situation was also tabulated. The data from the variation of the mutual coupling between adjacent antennae and the resonant frequency of the antennae themselves, its dependence on polarization, feed direction and distance can be used in designing an array.
