Abstract:
A new dual port microstrip antenna geometry for dual frequency
operation is presented. The structure consists of the intersection
of two circles of the same radius with their centres displaced by a
small fraction of the wavelength . This antenna provides wide
impedance bandwidth and excellent isolation between its ports.
The gain of the antenna is comparable to that of a standard
circular microstrip antenna operating at the same resonant
frequency. A theoretical analysis for calculating the resonant
frequencies of the two ports is also presented

Abstract:
The thesis explores the outcome of the exhaustive theoretical and experimental investigations performed on Octagonal Microstrip Antenna configurations. Development of the MATLAB TM backed 3D-Conformal Finite Difference Time Domain (CFDTD)Modeller for the numerical computation of the radiation characteristics of the antenna is the theme of the work. The predicted results are verified experimentally and by IE3D TM simulation. The influence of the patch dimensions,feed configurations,feed dimensions and feed positions upon the radiation performance of the antenna is studied in detail. Octagonal Microstrip Antenna configurations suitable for Mobile-Bluetooth application is dealt in detail. A simple design formula for the regular Octagonal geometry is also presented. A compact planar multi band antenna for GPS/DCS/2.4/5.8GHz WLAN application is included as appendix A. Planar near field measurement technique is explained in appendix B.

Abstract:
A new method for enhancing the 2.1 VSWR impedance
bandwidth of microstrip antennas is presented. Bandwidth enhancement
is achieved by loading the microstrip antenna by a ceramic microwave
dielectric resonator (DR). The validity of this technique has been established
using rectangular and circular radiating geometries. This method
improves the bandwidth of a rectangular microstrip antenna to more
than 10% (= 5 times that of a conventional rectangular microstrip
antenna) with an enhanced gain of I dB

Abstract:
novel design of at internal PIFA integrated with an
RF-shielding metal case for application in a clamshell or fielder-tvpe
mobile phone is presented. The integrated PIFA has a bent and tapered
radiating arm in order to easily fit in the casing of the clamshell mobile
phone as an internal antenna. The integrated PlEA can also provide a
wide operating bandwidth fir UM7S (1920-2170 MHz) operation. In
addition, for the clamshell mobile phone in either the talk or standby
condition, only a small effect on the operating bandwidth of the integrated
PIFA is obtained. The experimental results of the proposed design are presented

Abstract:
The thesis relates to the investigations carried out on Rectangular Dielectric
Resonator Antenna configurations suitable for Mobile Communication applications.
The main objectives of the research are to:
- numerically compute the radiation characteristics of a Rectangular DRA
- identify the resonant modes
- validate the numerically predicted data through simulation and experiment
0 ascertain the influence of the geometrical and material parameters upon the
radiation behaviour of the antenna
° develop compact Rectangular DRA configurations suitable for Mobile
Communication applications
Although approximate methods exist to compute the resonant frequency of
Rectangular DRA’s, no rigorous analysis techniques have been developed so far to
evaluate the resonant modes. In this thesis a 3D-FDTD (Finite Difference Time
Domain) Modeller is developed using MATLAB® for the numerical computation of the radiation characteristics of the Rectangular DRA. The F DTD method is a
powerful yet simple algorithm that involves the discretimtion and solution of the
derivative form of Maxwell’s curl equations in the time domain.

Abstract:
With the recent progress and rapid increase in mobile terminals, the design of
antennas for small mobile terminals is acquiring great importance. In view of this
situation, several design concepts are already been addressed by the scientists and
engineers. Compactness and efficiency are the major criteria for mobile terminal
antennas. The challenging task of the microwave scientists and engineers is to device
compact printed radiating systems having broadband behavior, together with good
efficiency. Printed antenna technology has received popularity among antenna
scientists after the introduction of microstrip antenna in 1970s. The successors in this
kind such as printed monopoles and planar inverted F are also equally important.
Scientists and Engineers are trying to explore this technology as a viable coast
effective solution for forthcoming microwave revolution. The transmission line
perspectives of antennas are very interesting. The concept behind any
electromagnetic radiator is simple. Any electromagnetic system with a discontinuity
is radiating electromagnetic energy. The size, shape and the orientation of the
discontinuities controls the radiation characteristics of the system such as radiation
pattern, gain, polarization etc. It can be either resonant or non resonant structure.

Abstract:
A circular miqrostrip antenna with a modified structure is
presented. By adjusting the feed location along the circumference
of the patch it is possible to match the antenna with a C
microstrip line of any impedance. The impedance bandwidth
and radiation characteristics are unaffected by this structural
V modification.

Abstract:
A new microstrip antenna geometry with considerable reduction
in size, with similar radiation characteristics to those of an
equivalent rectangular patch antenna is proposed. A relationship
has been suggested for fmding out the resonant frequency of the
new geometry, and its validity has been established by the
experimental results. Without increasing the aperture area, this
geometry also offers a facility for considerably reducing the
resonant frequency compared to conventional patches.
The design and development of an L-band printed dipole antenna.
optimized for wide-band applications near first resonance, is reported.
This design has achieved more than 48% impedance bandwidth
(VSWR 2:1), without degrading its overall radiation efficiency
