Multifunctional Reconfigurable Antennas And Arrays Operating At 60 Ghz Band, Abdurazag Mohamed Khalat

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In this digital era, the demand for faster, reliable, and adaptive wireless communication systems is increasing. Various factors can affect the signal propagation in the wireless medium, such as weather, broadcast environment, physical obstructions, etc. This study aims to improve the antenna performance by means of dynamically altering its properties so that it can adapt to different environments and communication scenarios. This study is not resorting in a traditional antenna design, but rather explores an alternative approach known as the multifunctional reconfigurable antennas (MRAs). Unlike its predecessor, i.e., legacy antennas, MRAs can dynamically change its operation frequency, radiation pattern, and …
