Abstract:

An active antenna for transmitter application in S frequency band is designed and analyzed using harmonic balance technique which is based on the nonlinear model of active devices. In this active antenna, the amplifier is integrated with the radiator which is a rectangular patch antenna. This patch antenna is analyzed employing full-wave momentum method. By applying nonlinear model of transistor in the amplifier and separating the linear and nonlinear parts, the harmonic balance equation is obtained. The splitting algorithm is applied to solve the harmonic balance equation and obtain the steady-state voltages at common port. The results of this method are compared with those of commercial simulators.

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Design, Simulation and implementation of active dual-band dipole antenna using a series stub

In this paper, a new method for designing an active dual-band dipole antenna is proposed. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are 150 and 450 MHz that are usually used in military applications. Using a series stub is the main idea in the proposed dual-band antenna, where it makes an independent resonance frequency higher than the main resonance frequency of a conventional dipole. ...

Nonlinear Analysis of Nonlinearly Loaded Dipole Antenna in the Frequency Domain Using Fuzzy Inference

In this paper, inference model is proposed so as to analyze nonlinearly loaded dipole antenna. In modeling process, linear and nonlinear behavior of the problem is saved as simple and unchanged membership functions and the effect of incident wave on the induced voltage at different harmonies are then extracted easily. Consequently the model achieved is more efficient than previous studies using...
