Sensor and Simulation Notes

Antennas are becoming crucial in an increasingly growing number of applications namely with the emerging of the wireless internet communications, military systems like aircrafts, missiles and submarines or even oil drilling systems where efficiency, compactness and cost play a decisive role. Nonetheless, a major drawback of such solutions is that the aforementioned criteria are hard to simultaneously optimize. In this project, an innovative approach relying on using Ring-Shaped Slotted Waveguide Antenna (RSSWA) as a good alternative is presented, that allows enhancing drastically the ratio of performance versus cost and size. Simulation results along with Experimental validations will be carried out at 2.4 GHz frequency and indubitably demonstrating high effectiveness in terms of directivity and high gain given a reduced cost, shape and size. .
