Design and Analysis of Circularly Polarized Electrically Small Antennas
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>A growing need for efficient wireless communication is prevalent in the world in which we live. From cell phones to television to GPS applications, wireless communications are vital in consumer electronics and military applications. In these applications, a miniaturized antenna is sometimes necessary for reducing overall size of the communication system. For many satellite based communication applications, circular polarization in antennas is needed for efficient communication. In this thesis, the miniaturization technique known as T-top loading is utilized on two novel antenna designs. One design is an electrically small, circularly polarized planar cross dipole and the other design is a compact circularly polarized log-periodic dipole array. Both antennas are designed in simulation software with the intent for prototype fabrication for measurement verification of simulation results.</p>
