Antenna beam forming and beam controlling for Improving the Wi-Fi signal

Abstract

Antenna design plays a prominent role when we consider the far-field patterns when compared with near field patterns. By using a PIN diode (which has a wide intrinsic region when compared with normal diode) as a switch and a capacitor as a filter we are proposing an antenna design that able to radiate far field regions. The reason behind choosing capacitor as a filter means that we are designing antenna to transfer high frequency signals. For antenna deign simulations we have different software’s (like FEKO, ZELAND IE 3D etc.,) but the preferred software for this antenna design is Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST MWS) as we are operating in a frequency band of 2 to 2.54GHz and the diameter of the antenna 20X20cm. Based on the diameter chosen the antenna is able to switch direction of signalling by using a switch with four different angles. The material used for antenna design FR-4 which is a Composite material composed of fibre glass cloth with an epoxy resin blinder i.e. frame resistance and SMB connectors with 75Ω impedance.
