In communication systems like WiMAX, WLAN, 3G, 4G and LTE, design of wideband and dual polarized antennas are required. It is known that bandwidth of patch antennas can be broaden by using thick air substrates. The bandwidth can be further improved by using three dimensional feed strucutures that are electromagnetically coupled to the patch. In this thesis, microstrip patch antennas that are excited by elevated wide strips are studied. First, a linearly polarized antenna is considered and the effects of antenna and feed parameters on the input impedance characteristics are investigated through EM simulations. Then a dual polarized antenna is considered and the effects of antenna parameters on the radiation performance (i.e. isolation) is explored. In the light of these observations, guidelines for the design of dual polarized wideband patch antennas excited with elevated wide strips is presented. To demonstrate the usage of these guidelines an antenna, which operates in a different frequency band, is designed by following the steps of the proposed design procedure. Finally, the input impedance and radiation pattern measurements of a two element antenna array that was previously designed as a base station antenna are performed. Simulation and measurement results are compared and discussed. The EM simulations are performed by a Finite Element based full-wave analysis software HFSS by Ansys.

Modelling and analysis of vertical handover in highly mobile environments Kirsal, Yonal; Ever, Enver; Koçyiğit, Altan; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Mapp, Glenford (2015-12-01) Various types of wireless networks have been developed and deployed including 3G, WLAN, WiMAX, LTE and LTE Advanced. User connectivity and network performance can be improved using vertical handover techniques which involve switching between available networks in heterogeneous environments. In this respect, recently there has been an increased interest in the integration of cellular and WLAN systems. In this study, the integrated heterogeneous wireless systems are modelled using two-stage open queuing syste...

Broadband loaded dipole antenna design by genetic algorithm optimization Asan, Bahri; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) It is well known that standard dipole antenna is not convenient to be used in broadband wireless communication applications because of its narrow frequency bandwidth. To broaden the bandwidth of a dipole, lumped loading is the generally applied method. Positive effects of resistive, capacitive and inductive loading are discussed and proved for a pretty long time. This thesis investigates broadband lumped loaded dipole antenna design procedure by using genetic algorithm optimization techniques. First, unload...
Design of dual-frequency probe-fed microstrip antennas with genetic optimization algorithm Ozgun, O; Mutlu, S; Aksun, MI; Alatan, Lale (2003-08-01) Dual-frequency operation of antennas has become a necessity for many applications in recent wireless communication systems, such as GPS, GSM services operating at two different frequency bands, and services of PCS and IMT-2000 applications. Although there are various techniques to achieve dual-band operation from various types of microstrip antennas, there is no efficient design tool that has been incorporated with a suitable optimization algorithm. In this paper, the cavity-model based simulation tool alon...
A turbo detection scheme for EGPRS Başköy (Gülmez), Ülkü; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) is one of the 3G wireless communication standards, which provides higher data rates by adopting 8-PSK modulation in TDMA system infrastructure of GSM. In this thesis, a turbo detection receiver for Enhanced General Packet Radio Services (EGPRS) system, which is the packet switching mode of EDGE, is studied. In turbo detection, equalization and channel decoding are performed iteratively. Due to 8-ary alphabet of EGPRS modulation, full state trellis based equali...
