Using microwave holography and microstrip antenna for 3D mouse investigation

Abstract

A dynamic technique for establishing a three dimensional (3D) mouse is possible by combining holography with a microstrip antenna in order to enter 3D data into a computer. The idea depends on two techniques, the first generates a point source hologram from a dipole antenna. Secondly a receiving microstrip antenna will be attached to operator's hand. A practical system for this purpose is constructed and performances are evaluated theoretically and tested experimentally. Scanning time is improved by replacing the antenna element with an array to achieve reasonable or real time results in editing 3D images. A simulation model is developed to create similar holograms. Experimental and simulation results give excellent agreement.

An efficient technique for constructing a microwave hologram with the use of a microstrip array antenna and the retrieval of the digital form

“…The dominant operating mode is selected to be TM . Also, the antenna charac- 10 teristics are calculated in the program. The practical measurements are made by network analyzer.…”
