Otimização de antenas lineares e planares para aplicações em sistemas de banda larga

Abstract

The objective of this work is the bandwidth optimization of linear and planar antennas for broadband system applications. For achieving this goal, it was made a study of the analysis, bandwidth enlargement and optimization techniques appropriated for the problem in question. As analysis technique, the method of moments was utilized, which is presented in chapter II. For bandwidth enlargement, the techniques of collocation of parasitic elements and building slots in the radiator were employed, briefly described in chapter III. As optimization algorithm, the genetic algorithm was utilized, briefly described in chapter II. In this work, two antenna proposals are presented, a linear dipole antenna combined with four parasitic elements, chapter IV, and a planar antenna of loop type, chapter V. In the first case, it was utilized parasitic elements and the genetic algorithm to enlarge the bandwidth, and in the second, it was employed slots in the radiator and the parametric optimization to this objective.
