1. i) • Antenna radiation pattern or antenna pattern is defined as “a mathematical function or a graphical representation of the radiation properties of the antenna as a function of space coordinates.” • The radiation pattern is determined in the far-field region and is represented as a function of the directional coordinates. • Radiation properties include power flux density‚ radiation intensity‚ field strength‚ directivity phase or polarization [pic]

CHAPTER -2 SADDLE ANTENNA 2.1 NOVEL UWB ANTENNA DESIGN CONCEPT Saddle antenna is a unique kind of flared antenna. This Ultra Wide Band antenna is based on using of two smoothly shaped flares of a simple geometrical structure – the saddle. The first flare‚ larger in size‚ serves as an antenna base‚ reflector and one of the radiator arms. The second flare‚ smaller in size‚ operates as the other arm of the radiator. An apparent idea is exploited in this design that an “ideal”

NUS/ECE EE4101 Antenna Arrays 1 Introduction Antenna arrays are becoming increasingly important in wireless communications. Advantages of using antenna arrays: 1. They can provide the capability of a steerable beam (radiation direction change) as in smart antennas. 2. They can provide a high gain (array gain) by using simple antenna elements. 3. They provide a diversity gain in multipath signal reception. 4. They enable array signal processing. Hon Tat Hui 1 Antenna Arrays NUS/ECE

Radiation pattern From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Antenna radiation patterns In the field of antenna design the term ’radiation pattern ’ most commonly refers to the directional (angular) dependence of radiation from the antenna or other source (synonyms: antenna pattern‚ far-field pattern).[1][2][3] Particularly in the fields of fiber optics‚ lasers‚ and integrated optics‚ the term radiation pattern‚ or near-field radiation pattern‚ may also be used as

YAGI-UDA ANTENNA Dr. Shintaro Uda and Dr. Hidetsugu Yagi of the Tohoku Imperial University invented a directional antenna system consisting of an array of coupled parallel dipoles. Yagi-uda or simply yagi antennas or yagi’s are the most high gain antennas. It consists of a driven element‚ a reflector and one or more directors. i.e.‚ yagi uda antenna is an array of a driven element and one or more parasitic elements. The driven element is a resonant half wave dipole usually of metallic rod. The

The design of simulated antenna is shown in Fig. 3.1. As can be seen from the figure‚ the Yagi-Uda antenna was built on a FR4 substrate (εr = 4.4) with the thickness of 1.6 mm. The design consists of one director element‚ a driven element and a ground plane acting as a reflector. To enhance the gain of the antenna coupling microstrips and metal plate were placed‚ that focus the entire beam towards a driven dipole.
