| Title |
Analysis, Design and Testing of Ultra Wideband (UWB) Antennas |
| Supervisor |
Dr. A. Sebak |
| Description |
Recently a wide new spectral band of 7.5 GHz was released for unlicensed use when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permitted the commercial operation of ultra wideband (UWB) technology. UWB technology has offered important advantages not achievable by conventional narrowband technology. UWB radio technology for wireless communications has the capability of delivering a performance that can not be attained by conventional narrowband wireless technologies. In this project students are involved in the implementation of UWB antennas in cooperation with one of Dr. Sebakâïï��ï��ïï��ï��s PhD students. In particular, students will work on different UWB techniques for PCB-type antennas. Also, students will learn to work with different commercial software packages such as Agilent ADS and Ansoft HFSS.
