Design of a Wideband Phased Patch Antenna Array

The increasing number of drones forms a more significant problem every year. Negative impact becomes more apparent during daily life as, for example, airport operations are shut down due to unauthorized users of drones. This report focuses on designing a new wideband antenna array as part of an integrated radar system to detect small objects,...

Designing a wireless communication system for smart sensor shorts in football: Using lossless data compression and pattern diversity

Decreasing injuries in football is a topic of interest for the KNVB and KNHB. To reach this goal, the use of smart sensor pants is researched. The data will be used to develop models for finding injury risk factors that are related to movements. Currently, the system is capable of reading out the IMUs and storing the data on an SD-card, for post...

A X-Band Patch Antenna Array With Low Cross-Polarization: For Weather Radar Applications

Meaningful dual-polarized radar estimations suitable for radar meteorology require a cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) and isolation (XPI) in excess of 30 dB to reach a differential reflectivity accuracy lower than 0.1 dB. A planar dual-polarized patch antenna array featuring low cross-polarization is proposed to meet these requirements...

Design and full-wave analysis of supershaped patch antennas

The rapid development of wireless communication systems and the subsequent burst of wireless devices place several demands on the antenna designs. In particular, the development of high-performance radio systems require the adoption of broadband antennas featuring low profile, high gain, embedded installation and reduced manufacturing costs....
