Design of active planar antennas based on circuit/full-wave co-optimization

Abstract

Abstmct-A deiim methodology far active planar rccsivcr antmnas is described, based on the cwptimization of the ant" part, using a full-wave elecmmagnetic simulator, and of the active rcc*vercircui~,using~=i~it simulator. BMhloeal, gadient-ba%eddoptimiz=m andglabdopUmizalion techniques. such ar genetic alggoefhms. can be uasd in LS prmeSE. A three-stagage design smtegy i s adapted to limit !he total required CPU-time. By way of uample, the formalism is applied Io the design of an active planar rectangular dog antenna o p h g from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz

Couplinator: A simple computational tool for synthesis of multi-section coupled-line filter based on MPCM-TLM technique

“…The latter is adopted in this work. Reports show that a variety of devices have been analyzed using PCM, including rectangular waveguides [12], substrate integrated waveguides (SIW) [13], and antennas [14, 15]. However, to the best of authors' knowledge, no report has been published to illustrate the use of PCM in the analysis of planar coupled lines and thus, synthesis of multi-section coupled-line filters.…”
