A new method is proposed that provides simple and effcient design and analysis algorithm for microstrip antennas with arbitrary patch shapes. The proposed procedure uses the mutiport network model (MNM) where the antenna is considered as a cavity bounded by perfect electric conductors on the top and the bottom surfaces and perfect magnetic conductor on the side surfaces. Ports are defined along the periphery of the patch, and the impedance matrix representing the voltage induced at one port due to a current source at another port, is obtained through the use of the 2-D Green’s function corresponding to the cavity. For the MNM analysis of patches with irregular shapes such as slotted structures, the segmentation/desegmentation methods are utilized since the Green’s function expressions are available only for regularly shaped cavities. To speed up the analysis and to develop a design procedure, vector Pade approximation is used in order to approximate the antenna impedance matrix as a rational function of two polynomials. When the approximation is performed with respect to frequency, the roots of the polynomial at the denominator provides the resonant frequencies of the antenna. The design algorithm is applicable when the approximation variable is changed to one of the dimensions of the patch that need to be optimized. Because for this case, the roots of the denominator polynomial correspond to optimum dimensions of the antenna where it resonates.

Rigorous optimizations of three dimensional antenna arrays using full wave simulations Onol, Can; Gokce, Ozer; Boyacı, Huseyın; Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2015-07-09) We present optimizations of three-dimensional antenna arrays using heuristic techniques coupled with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Without resorting to any periodicity and infinity assumptions, antenna arrays are modeled with surface integral equations and simulated via MLFMA, which also enables the analysis of arrays with non-identical elements. Genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization methods are employed on the complex data produced by MLFMA in phasor domain to find optimal s...
Optimizations of Patch Antenna Arrays Using Genetic Algorithms Supported by the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Onol, Can; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2014-12-01) We present optimizations of patch antenna arrays using genetic algorithms and highly accurate full-wave solutions of the corresponding radiation problems with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Arrays of finite extent are analyzed by using MLFMA, which accounts for all mutual couplings between array elements efficiently and accurately. Using the superposition principle, the number of solutions required for the optimization of an array is reduced to the number of array elements, without resorti...
Design of asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antennas / Karaciğer, Kamil; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This thesis includes the design, simulation, production and measurement of an asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antenna suitable to be used as an element in a linear array operating at S-band (2.7 GHz - 3.3 GHz). In this same manner, its usefulness as an array antenna is also explored in this thesis. This antenna element consists of a microstrip line feed, microstrip to coplanar stripline transition (BALUN) and asymmetric coplanar strip (ACPS) folded dipole. The planar folded dipole can be constructed...
Analysis and design of slotted substrate integrated waveguide antenna on cylindrical surface Bayraktar, Ömer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This thesis presents novel traveling wave conformal shunt slot arrays on cylindrical substrate integrated waveguide (CSIW) placed on a cylindrical surface in the circumferential direction at K-band. Mutual couplings of longitudinal slots on broad wall of CSIW are formulated and active admittance formulas of the slots are derived which are used in Elliott’s design procedure to design slotted CSIW arrays. The designs are carried out at 25 GHz using non-uniform and uniform slot separations. The non uniform slo...
Design of series-fed printed slot antenna arrays excited by microstrip lines İncebacak, Mustafa; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Series-fed printed slot antenna arrays excited by microstrip lines are low profile, easy to manufacture, low cost structures that found use in applications that doesn’t require high power levels with having advantage of easy integration with microwave front-end circuitry. In this thesis, design and analysis of microstrip line fed slot antenna arrays are investigated. First an equivalent circuit model that ignores mutual coupling effects between slots is studied. A 6-element array is designed by using this e...
