Description
This dissertation consists of four parts: design of antenna in lossy media, analysisof wire antennas using electric field integral equation (EFIE) and wavelets, modeling and measurement of grounded waveguide coplanar waveguide (GCPW) for automotive radar, and E-Band 3-D printed antenna and measurement using VNA. In the first part, the antenna is modeled and simulated in lossy media. First, the vector wave functions is solved in the fundamental mode. Next the energy flow velocity is plotted to show near-field energy distribution for both TM and TE in air and seawater environment. Finally the power relation in seawater is derived to calculate the source dipole moment and required power.
In the second part, the current distribution on the antenna is derived by solving EFIE with moment of methods (MoM). Both triangle and Coifman wavelet (Coiflet) are used as basis and weight functions. Then Input impedance of the antenna is computed and results are compared with traditional sinusoid current distribution assumption. Finally the input impedance of designed antenna is computed and matching network is designed and show resonant at designed frequency.
In the third part, GCPW is modeled and measured in E-band. Laboratory measurements are conducted in 75 to 84 GHz. The original system is embedded with error boxes due to misalignment and needed to be de-embedded. Then the measurement data is processed and the results is compared with raw data.
In the fourth part, the horn antennas and slotted waveguide array antenna (SWA) are designed for automotive radar in 75GHz to 78GHz. The horn antennas are fabricated using 3D printing of ABS material, and electro-plating with copper. The analytic solution and HFSS simulation show good agreement with measurement.
