Artificial Dielectric Flat Lenses
Analysis, Design, Simulations & Measurements
Flat lens antennas are convenient solutions to realize highly directive antennas for millimeter wave and terahertz frequencies. Unlike the traditional three-dimensional bulky lens antennas, flat lenses are compact, low profile, and planar structures that can be manufactured with
...
Future communication scenarios will require massive Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) by the use of multi-beam antenna systems. Maximizing the number of beams for a given antenna size is paramount given that the space allocated to the antenna is often limited. This work aims
...
Planar lenses based on metasurfaces or resonant elements are typically narrowband due to phase wrapping, which is strongly frequency-dependent. On the contrary, true-time-delay (TTD) planar lenses, which do not resort to phase wrapping, can achieve large bandwidths. One convenien

Phased arrays have emerged as a key solution for 5G base stations, to provide higher capacity by means of directive and electronically steerable beams. However, the implementation of workable low-cost antenna arrays for base stations is very challenging, because of the requiremen

Bi-Static Sense and Avoid System for Drones
Signal Design
In the context of the Bachelor Graduation Project at the Delft University of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering, we have been tasked with a project to design prototype of a bi-static radar. This thesis describes the waveform design of a bi-static radar system and its

To solve extant complications with standard wafer-probing techniques, such as probe-to-probe coupling and probe-tip deterioration, a novel probe tip device has been designed and verified by means of 3D EM-simulation for the 220-325 GHz frequency band. The new probing technique us

Typical antenna arrays are designed such that the active element pattern is symmetric around the broadside direction. However, applications exist, for example in satellite communication, where a symmetric pattern is not needed or even unwanted. This angular selectivity can be ach

In this work, the analytical models to describe artificial dielectric layers (ADLs), when a lateral shift between layers is present, is presented. The alternate lateral displacement between layers is an important parameter to engineer the desired effective electromagnetic propert
