Circular Polarized Splatch Antenna, Cynthia Truong
Electrical Engineering
The Splatch Antenna combines excellent performance and cost-effectiveness into an antenna package that can be integrated. The goal of this project is to figure out how to connect two Splatch antennas to realize a Circular Polarized (CP) antenna. The advantage of CP versus linear polarization is that CP eliminates polarization mismatch losses caused by Faraday’s rotation.

The propagation symmetry of electromagnetic fields is affected by encounters with material systems. The effects of such interactions, for example, modifications of intensity, phase, polarization, angular spectrum, frequency, etc. can be used to obtain information about the material system. However, the propagation of electromagnetic waves imposes a fundamental limit to the length scales over which the material properties can be observed. In the realm of near-field optics, this limitation is overcome only through a secondary interaction that couples the high-spatial-frequency (but non-propagating) field components to propagating waves that can be detected. The available information depends intrinsically on this secondary interaction, …
