Design & Fabrication of Matamaterial based Multiband Antenna for Gps,Radar,and Mobile Applications

Project Area of Specialization Information & Communication TechnologyProject Summary

The built-in antennas are potential candidates for application in wireless handheld devices. The traditional antennas used in wireless handheld devices are very simple and easy to install, however, they can be used for the single frequency application only. Recently, multiband wireless devices have become very popular because they permit people to use the wireless device with multi network that have multiple frequencies. Since it is not feasible to equip such a device with many antennas for each frequency band, and built-in antennas need to be small size, low profile and multi-band reception. So, there is a need to design antenna which operates in multi-band. These antennas operate at specific frequencies, but this added complexity to the antenna design. Besides, the performance of these antennas is relatively low compared to the traditional single band counterpart. In order to enhance and optimized the overall performance of these antennas metamaterial surfaces are proposed. So, there is a need to design the antenna on metamaterial surfaces and compare the performance with the conventional counterpart.

Project Objectives

• Design and analysis of Multiband band antenna for GPS RADAR and Mobile applications.
• Design and characterization of multiband meta material surface.
• Performance comparison of the proposed antenna with and without meta material surface.
• Size reduction
• Gain enhancement

Project Implementation Method

All the simulations and optimizations processes are performed using CST or HFSS an industry standard software simulator, which is based on Finite Integration Technique (FIT) that is equivalent to Finite Difference Time-domain (FDTD).

The following steps are involved:

1.Selection of material: The selection of materials includes to select such materials that are low loss i.e having low loss tangent also easily available etc.

2. Designing of multiband antenna and metamaterial surface.

3. Comparison and result validations.

Benefits of the Project

Antenna is the key element in wireless communications. The designed antenna can be used for Military purpose such as for the purpose of avoiding the detection by the radar, it is of significance to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of sensitive targets such as naval ships and airborne vehicles and other civil purpose. The metamaterial based designed antenna can also be used in weather applications. The design of Multiband metamaterial-based antennas is generally compact that’s why it can be used for handheld devices. There are many multiband antennas used for different applications such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, WiMAX etc. For these applications we have to use different narrow band antennas. By utilizing the results of our research someone can avoid different narrow band antennas which are only functional for specific application. The result of our research will be a wide band antenna which can be used for all of these applications and will replace all the narrow band antennas by a multiband antenna.
