Thesis Presentation1

This document outlines a thesis proposal on estimating the parameters of non-uniform linear and concentric ring antenna arrays to obtain broadband performance. The objectives are to design high-gain antenna arrays and estimate the gain, beam width, and side lobe levels of linear and concentric ring arrays of cylindrical dipoles from 1-20 GHz. The methodology involves using MATLAB to obtain an unequally spaced design from a default uniform array, then estimating the performance metrics and comparing to uniform arrays. The scope is focused on arrays with 18 linear elements and 10 ring elements.

Introduction

• An antenna is an electronic device which converts the electrical signals into radio
waves and radio waves into electrical signals.
• A possible solution to obtaining a high-gain, high bandwidth antenna is by using
the array concept.
• The performance of the array increases with the number of elements in the array.
• Antenna arrays are more prominent in wireless terminals, smart antenna and they
are widely used in applications like radar, sonar and communications.
• Antenna arrays have the advantages of providing high overall gain.

Cont.
• Additionally, introducing unequal spacing between the antenna elements can
further increase the performance, by widening the bandwidth of operation.
• Uniform antenna arrays will enable the operation at one particular frequency.
• In our thesis, we focused our efforts on the design of wideband non-uniformly
spaced antenna arrays.
• Compared the gain, beam width and side lobe levels with those of uniform array
antenna over the frequency range of 1-20GHz.

Motivation

• The thesis may provide enough improvement at the performance of the antenna
parameter performance.
• Antenna arrays have the advantages of providing high overall gain by using large
number of array elements,
• Capability of steerable beam like in smart antennas, provide diversity gain in
multipath reception,
• Cancel the interference from particular direction and also enable array signal
processing.
• The introducing unequal spacing between the antenna elements can further
increase the performance, by widening the bandwidth of operation.

Statement of The Problem

• The performance of single element antenna is limited.

• They cannot meet the gain and radiation pattern requirements.

• It is required to design antennas, which are suitable for long distance


communication, highly directive and wideband in nature.

Objectives of the Thesis

General Objectives
• The estimation of the parameters of non-uniform linear and concentric ring antenna arrays to obtain
broadband performance.

Specific Objectives
• To obtaining a high-gain of antenna by using the array concept.

• To estimate the gain, beam width and side lobe levels of linear and concentric ring antenna arrays of
cylindrical dipoles.

• To estimate the frequency range of 1-20 GHz and compare with that of equally spaced antenna arrays.

Scope of the Thesis

• The thesis was concentrated the goals on estimating the gain, beam width and side lobe levels of
linear and concentric ring antenna arrays of cylindrical dipoles.
• The total number of elements used in the linear antenna array was 18 and in ring array was 10.
• Gain, beam width and side lobe responses were found to change with the spacing variation
between the antenna elements, and with the choice of the dipole element length.
• By using the several trial sets of element spacing and dipole length values, the gain, side lobe and
beam width.
• Parameters mentioned above were estimated over the frequency range of 1-20 ghz and compared
with that of equally spaced antenna arrays.
