▼ In this dissertation, the design, analysis, and demonstration of multiple advanced compact and low-profile antennas with enhanced functionalities are presented with operational frequency bands ranging from microwave frequencies to the terahertz regime. Basic background knowledge is reviewed first in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, three single-band antennas with compact sizes operating in the 4.0 GHz band are proposed. Specifically, the first two designs are linearly-polarized (LP) antennas with fractional bandwidths of more than 10% and unidirectional radiation patterns. The third design in Chapter 2 is a circularly-polarized (CP) antenna with an operational bandwidth exceeding 9% and a unidirectional radiation pattern. In Chapter 3, the design methodology of a dual-band antenna is introduced. The proposed LP antenna functions at both the 1.9 and 2.5 GHz frequency bands with unidirectional radiating characteristics. An ultra-compact footprint is achieved by the proposed antenna by virtue of rectangular complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) loadings, which also contributes to the dual-band functionality. In Chapter 4, a dual-band dual-sense CP antenna that operates at 1.9 and 2.5 GHz is proposed. The bi-anisotropic characteristic of the circular CSRR resonators is utilized in antenna engineering for the first time to realize the dual-band dual-sense CP radiation at broadside. Moreover, the size of the antenna is smaller than most of its counterparts reported in the literature. In Chapter 5, a highly miniaturized wideband wearable antenna with filtering characteristics is proposed for the 2.4 GHz industry, scientific, and medical (ISM) band based on the substrate-integrated-waveguide (SIW) technology. More importantly, the SIW structure is based on Eutectic Gallium-Indium (EGaIn) liquid metal and a flexible Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene (SEBS) polymer. This represents the first application of these flexible materials in antenna engineering. In Chapter 6, compact optical nanoantennas, referred to as surface plasma (SP) wave generators in this dissertation, are introduced to realize the generation of reconfigurable directional SP waves. In summary, these antennas with miniaturized volumes and advanced functionalities are promising candidates for integration into various modern communication systems.

▼ Small antennas are very attractive due to their compactness and lightness. However, the price one has to pay for having a small antenna, such as significant reduction in radiation efficiency, gain and bandwidth, makes them less practical and less useful. This thesis demonstrates how one can miniaturize an antenna by artificially inducing high-permeability in the antenna such that less efficiency and gain will be sacrificed. The improvement in efficiency is achieved by reducing the losses in the antenna; and the improvement in gain is achieved by increasing both efficiency and directivity, which are realized by reducing the losses in the antenna and replacing a conventional ground plane with a U-shaped ground plane, respectively. The high-permeability is induced by employing metallic loops (e.g. split ring resonators (SRRs)) and properly arranging them with respect to the magnetic field. First, split ring loaded dielectric resonator antennas are studied. It is shown that loading a conventional dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with SRRs can indeed miniaturize the antenna. The miniaturization capability varies with SRR parameters and arrangements: the larger the SRR area, the higher the miniaturization capability. The arrangement of a single SRR allows for the most miniaturization, compared to other arrangements, but the others can provide wider bandwidths. One of the examples shows that loading a very low-permittivity (ε_r=2.2) based DRA with three layers of single SRR is equivalent to increasing the permittivity of the dielectric to ε_r=976. The miniaturized antenna also has a reasonably good efficiency (80.85%) and gain (6.69 dBi), despite its small dimensions (0.124λ_0×0.062λ_0×0.002λ_0). In order to further miniaturize the SRR loaded DRAs, two types of metallization, namely U-shaped and split-ring-shaped metallizations, are applied to the surfaces of the loaded DRAs. It is found that both metallizations have little effect on a single-element loaded DRA, but can effectively miniaturize the unloaded DRA, since similar to SRRs, both metallizations are also capable of inducing permeability. Therefore, a probe-fed flat-wire open ring antenna, essentially just the split-ring-shaped metallization, is also studied. Good antenna performance (efficiency of 86.36% and gain of 7.94 dBi) is also observed with such a miniaturized antenna (dimensions: 0.113λ_0×0.057λ_0×0.011λ_0). In order to further miniaturize the open ring antenna, a two-turn flat-wire open ring with different slit combinations is investigated. By placing the slit of the outer ring at the bottom and the slit of the inner ring at the top, the antenna can be most effectively miniaturized.

▼ Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm about building a massive internet to link billions of non-living things to make smart decisions for humans and improve their quality of life. For many of IoT devices, such as wireless sensor nodes dispersed in the environment, there is not much control over their placements or orientations. Thus, there is a need to develop orientation insensitive antennas that ensure reliable data transmission irrespective of devices’ positions or orientations. As billions of such IoT devices required in the future, a low-cost fabrication process suitable for mass manufacturing must be adapted. Antenna in package (AiP) concept is beneficial that the package is utilized to realize the antennas, not only saving space but also reducing the overall cost. For orientation insensitivity, antennas must be near isotropic and even have to maintain their radiation pattern for multi-bands or wide bandwidths in most applications. However, there is a dearth in the literature about design methodologies for near isotropic antennas, particularly for multi-bands near isotropic AiP designs. In addition, a near isotropic behavior is also important for polarization, particularly for CP antennas. To have simultaneous isotropy in radiation pattern and circular polarization is challenging. In the nut shell, this thesis presents theoretical models and derives conditions for wire AiP design for different specifications, single-band and dual-band near isotropic antennas, null free near isotropic antenna with wide CP coverage, and a full CP antenna with decent near isotropy (with very narrow null beam). The single-band AiP has only 5.05 dB gain variation at WiFi/BLE band and the dual-band AiP has a decent near isotropic radiation property and covers both GSM900 and GSM1800 bands. The theoretical model for null-free near isotropic antenna with wide CP coverage is presented with particle swarm optimization (PSO). The full CP antenna has a measured CP coverage of 70% with a small null in the radiation pattern. The results are promising and indicate that the conditions and methods proposed are useful for the future near isotropic AiP design. Also, this work provides designers flexibility to adjust the AiP design according to their own applications.

▼ Abstract The recent release of the unlicensed 60 GHz band tackles the increasing demand for more bandwidth in the wireless consumer electronics market. In order to meet the cost require-ments of this market, many research groups have worked towards 60 GHz front-end elec-tronics in mainstream silicon technologies, i.e., CMOS and BiCMOS. However, the tech-nology choice for suitable antennas has not been as unitary and is controversially discussed. While there is a wide consensus that the antenna should be integrated in the same package with the front-end integrated circuit (IC), there are three main approaches on the realiza-tion. First, there is the Antenna-in- Package approach, in which the antenna is implemented in the IC's packaging technology. Second, there is the Antenna-on-Chip approach, in which the antenna is directly implemented in the back-end of the IC. Finally, the third approach can be considered as a hybrid of Antenna-on-Chip and Antenna-in-Package, in which the feed-point of the antenna is implemented on-chip while the radiating element itself is real-ized off-chip. This thesis focuses Antenna-on chip main integration strategies. Its goal is to explore the challenges and potentials of this technology with respect to millimeter-wave antenna inte-gration. For this, integrated antenna concepts for the 60 GHz band are developed using mainstream technologies. This restriction is necessary in order to achieve cost-effective solutions for the highly price-competitive wireless consumer electronics market. The main challenge of antenna design in a planar technology is the trade-off between radiation effi-ciency and bandwidth. To obtain a large bandwidth, a relatively thick dielectric layer is needed. However, a thicker dielectric layer introduces more losses due to surface-wave excitation in the dielectric. Silicon with low resistivity substrates also introduce special challenges for high efficiency millimeter wave on-chip antennas. First, their low resistivity of 0.1-20 [omega]-cm results in high dielectric loss and significantly reduces the antenna effi-ciency. Second, TE and TM surface waves are easily triggered in 200-500 [mu]m thick silicon substrates and can have serious detrimental effects on the antenna pattern and efficiency. A lot of work has been done to improve the radiation efficiency of planar antennas while maintaining a large bandwidth. Particularly, the use of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) materials that suppress the surface-wave excitation has received a lot of attention. How-ever, EBG materials are either difficult to manufacture, or too large to be used in planar array configurations. Another approach to improve the radiation efficiency is presented in literatures, where a superstrate antenna is used. This solution shows good perfor-mance. But careful consideration reveals that most designs are not readily amenable to mass production and many purposed structures are very inefficient. Some designs which are efficient require extra process steps such as trenching. This extra process hinders to…

▼ Since their invention about 55 years ago, spiral antennas have earned a reputation for providing stable impedance and far-field patterns over multi-decade frequency ranges. For the first few decades these antennas were researched for electronic warfare receiving applications, primarily in the 2-18 GHz range. This research was often done under conditions of secrecy, and often by private contractors who did not readily share their research, and now have been defunct for decades. Even so, the body of literature on the two-armed variant of these antennas is rich, often leading non-specialists to the misconception that these antennas are completely understood. Furthermore, early work was highly experimental in nature, and was conducted before modern data collection and postprocessing capabilities were widespread, which limited the range of the studies. Recent research efforts have focused on extending the application of spirals into new areas, as well as applying exotic materials to `improve' their performance and reduce their size. While interesting results have been obtained, in most instances these were incomplete, often compromising the frequency independent nature of these antennas. This thesis expands the role of the multi-armed spiral outside of its traditional niche of receive-only monopulse direction finding. As a first step, careful study of the spiral-antenna mode theory is undertaken with particular attention paid to the concepts of mode filtering and modal decomposition. A technique for reducing the modal impedance of high arm-count spirals is introduced. The insights gained through this theoretical study are first used to improve the far-field performance of the coiled-arm spiral antenna. Specifically, expanding the number of arms on a coiled arm spiral from two to four while providing proper excitation enables dramatically improved broadside axial ratio and azimuthal pattern uniformity. The multiarming technique is then applied to the design of an antenna with exceptionally stable and clean radiation patterns without use of an absorbing cavity. The multiarming technique allows the spiral to retain its pattern integrity at frequencies well below those of comparable two-armed spiral antennas. A quadrifilar helix-type of end-loading is applied to the end of the spiral, resulting in dramatically-improved low-frequency gain. Careful application of resistive end-loading allows good impedance matching at frequencies as low as one-half of the Mode 1 cutoff frequency, while providing acceptable radiation efficiency due to effective use of the available antenna volume. A novel dual-layering technique for reducing the spiral's modal impedance is presented, allowing the antenna to present a good impedance match to a 50 ohm system. The third application of mode theory has been to exploit the wideband multi-mode capability of the multi-armed spiral antenna to implement a simple wide-band radiation pattern nulling technique on a multi-armed spiral antenna. It is shown that wideband nulling is possible and that, in… Advisors/Committee Members: Dejan S. Filipovic, Michael C. Buck, Edward F. Kuester.

Bien que les propriétés optiques des métaux nanostructurés soit connues depuis de nombreuses décennies, ce n'est que dans les dernières années que ce domaine a suscité un grand intérêt. Ceci est en partie dû aux nombreux progrès des techniques de nanofabrication. Le domaine de la plasmonique est souvent présentée comme la support de la prochaine génération de dispositifs de traitement de l'information, mélageant la nanoélectronique et la photonique silicium pour obtenir des disposotifs plus performants. Les systèmes microélectroniques actuels approchant de la saturation en terme de bande passante et de consomation énergétique, la migration vers les systèmes photoniques semble inévitable. La prédiction de la réponse électromagnétique de ces composants nano-photoniques est essentiels au succès de leur intégration réaliste. Les outils numériques de simulation électromagnétiques sont le moyen par excellence de calculer précisement er de manière réaliste les propriétés optiques de composants nanophotoniques, et en particulier ceux utilisant des plasmons de surface. Ce travail de thèse rend compte de l'analyse numérique de la propagation et des caractéristiques de champ proche de composants à base de plasmons pour la photonique en technologie CMOS. Les deux principaux outils de modélisation EM utilisés à cet égard sont la méthode des éléments des moments, ainsi que la FDTD. Deux types principaux de dispositifs actifs plasmoniques actifs ont été étudiés: d'une part les modulateurs électro-optiques intégrés et d'autre part des détecteurs à base de quantum dot de Ge, le tout dans la gamme du proche infrarouge. La question cruciale d'un couplage efficace de la lumière dans un mode très confiné plasmonique a d'abord été étudiée de manière à isoler la part modale des principales contributions. Ensuite, une nouvelle structure de modulateur assisté plasmon a été proposée et une conception optique complète prenant en compte les contraintes technologiques d'une fonderie CMOS est proposée et discutée. Enfin une conception optimisée du couplage radiatif de l'absorption d'un point de Ge, en utilisant une antenne dipolaire plasmonique, est étudiée. En particulier, l'ingénierie radiative du substrat SOI permet de démontrer un effet considérable sur la performance finale du dispositif.

Interest in the ﬁeld of plasmonics has been primarily driven by the need to guide and conﬁne light in the subwavelength scale. The past few years has witnessed a huge interest in this ﬁeld largely due to the may advances that have occured in nanofabrication techniques. The ﬁeld of plasmonics is often touted as the next generation platform that could interface nanoscale electronics and Si photonics. With current electronic systems nearing saturation, the migration to photonic systems would become inevitable. Crucial to achieving this integration is to design reliable plasmonic components within nanophotonics circuits. This however requires an accurate estimation of the electromagnetic response of these components. Numerical modeling tools are one way to…

▼ Superdirective beamforming deals with designing an antenna array that gives high gain, narrow radiation pattern and also cancels the signal in unwanted directions. It is not practically possible to achieve the same properties as an array antenna without use of an array; to do so would require a huge antenna that is too complex and expensive to be practical.Use of an array antenna induces a white noise gain into the output of an antenna array due to the mismatches between the antenna elements in an array. In optimum array gain method array gain optimization is considered as eigenvalue problem and antenna weights are the eigenvector of the largest eigenvalue. Optimum array gain method gives the maximum value of array gain and white noise gain which is not possible in practice, due to induced white noise gain. In this thesis, we present a design for a superdirective receiving circular antenna array. In the design process, complex (amplitude and phase) weights for each antenna element in the array are calculated in order to reduce white noise gain using a constraint for white noise gain depending on white noise gain from optimum array gain method. The output beam pattern of an array antenna is a function of the weights and antenna element positions. Beam patterns of each individual antenna element are multiplied by their respective complex weights and then summed together to give the output radiation pattern. Antenna arrays using the weights found with this design process have lower white noise gain than antennas designed using optimum array gain method.The circular antenna array has a drawback in that it has high side lobe levels in the radiation pattern. In order to design antennas with a more narrow radiation pattern, the design method is further extended to different antenna array geometries namely elliptical, concentric elliptical, cylindrical elliptical, hexagonal and concentric hexagonal array geometries. The array gain and white noise gain are calculated and the radiation patterns of these geometries are plotted using MATLAB. All these simulation results are compared with the optimum array gain method which does not consider white noise gain for calculation of antenna weights. Use of other geometries in place of circular array geometry has advantages like reduced side lobe level and increase of array gain considering same number of antenna elements in elliptical array compared to circular array. Then, simulation results for optimum array gain and constrained optimum array gain are generated at 60 GHz and 30 GHz frequency waves which are millimeter waves and results are compared and discussed with 30 MHz wave results. These results show that use of millimeter wave frequency reduces the size of the array antenna. Advisors/Committee Members: S. I., Hariharan (Advisor).

▼ Future antennas consist of low-profile smart multi-functional radiating apertures which support multi-beams of multi-bands with multi-polarizations. They can scan the surrounding environment, choose the band of interest and generate the required beam shape. Such antenna can be utilized in numerous emerging applications such as vehicular satellite communication, software defined and cognitive radio, and also next generation of mobile networks (5G). This thesis develops MEMS-tunable orthogonally-polarized dual-band Resonant Cavity Antennas (RCA) and also reflectarrays as platforms for future multi-functional aperture antennas. As an initial prototype, a high gain orthogonally polarized dual broadside beam RCA is designed, fabricated and measured. Also, an equivalent transmission line model and a design flow chart are extracted for the RCA in order to understand the dual band beam forming and facilitate the quick design. Furthermore, the independence and the arbitrary separation of the operating bands is demonstrated. Next, a MEMS-tunable RCA is designed, fabricated and measured with an upper band vertically polarized broadside beam and a lower band horizontally polarized beam which is switched among all possible beam shapes of leaky wave antennas, i.e., broadside, symmetric conical, and also an asymmetric single beam which is either frequency scanned or steered at fixed frequency. Traditionally, a Full Phase-Gradient (FPG) Partially Reflective Surface (PRS) has been used in an RCA for generating beams off broadside. A FPG-PRS is a non-uniform aperture where a continuous phase gradient is applied between adjacent cells in the whole PRS. Here, the novel configuration of Half Phase-Gradient (HPG) PRS was offered where the phase gradient is applied between adjacent cells in half of PRS in order to utilize the inherent leaky wave phase progress inside the cavity. The HPG-PRS provides enhanced scan profile, faster real time tracking, and reduced DC power consumption which are all critical in wireless, space and military applications. Furthermore, a novel model is extracted for calculating the radiation of such RCAs with non-uniform aperture and verified by comparison with measurements. This model can be applied to any leaky wave antenna with arbitrary unit cell shape and periodicity. Finally, the unit cell required for the beam shaping RCA is realized by hybrid integrated MEMS switches. In the field of reflectarrays however, a phase tunable low loss double slotted patch reflective unit cell is designed and simulated for operation at 12 GHz with vertical polarization and 14 GHz with horizontal polarization for Ku band mobile satellite communication. The phase tuning is facilitated using an array of switches across both slots in order to dynamically control the equivalent slot length. A monolithic custom fabrication process is developed for fabrication of the proposed reflectarray unit cell with MEMS switches. Finally, this unit cells is measured inside a waveguide setup with DC bias pads to verify the phase tuning.

▼ With the increasing demand for high performance communication networks and the proliferation of mobile devices, significant advances in antenna design are essential. In recent years the rising demands of the mobile wireless communication industry have forced antennas to have increased performance while being limited to an ever decreasing footprint. Such design constraints have forced antenna designers to consider frequency agile antennas so that their behavior can adapt with changing system requirements or environmental conditions. Frequency agile antennas used for mobile handset applications must also be inexpensive, robust, and make use of electronic switching with reasonable DC power consumption. Previous works have addressed a number of these requirements but relatively little work has been performed on frequency agile dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the use of DRAs for frequency reconfigurability. DRAs are an attractive option due to their compactness, very low losses leading to high radiation efficiencies (better than 95%) and fairly wide bandwidths compared to alternatives. DRA’s are also well suited for mobile communications since they can be placed on a ground plane and are by nature low gain antennas whose radiation patterns typically resemble those of short electric or magnetic dipoles. One way to electronically reconfigure a DRA, in the sense of altering the frequency band over which the input reflection coefficient of the antenna is below some threshold, is to partially load one face of the DRA with a conducting surface. By altering the way in which this surface connects to the groundplane on which the DRA is mounted, the DRA can be reconfigured due to changes in its mode structure. This connection was first made using several conducting tabs which resulted in a tuning range of 69% while having poor cross polarization performance. In order to address the poor cross polarization performance a second conducting surface was placed on the opposing DRA wall. This technique significantly reduced the cross polarization levels while obtaining a tuning range of 83%. The dual-wall conductively loaded DRA was then extended to include a full electronic implementation using PIN diodes and varactor diodes in order to achieve discrete and continuous tuning respectively. The two techniques both achieved discrete tuning ranges of 95% while the varactor implementation also had a continuous tuning range of 59% while both maintaining an acceptable cross polarization level.

▼ The frequency spectrum is a necessary resource for the proper functioning of wireless devices. With the unprecedented rise of wireless devices available to the public comes inevitable congestion in the frequency spectrum. As this congestion is increasing, there is a pressing need to investigate ways to implement spectrum sharing, which is the idea that multiple wireless devices can use the same part of the spectrum as long as certain conditions are met. Since spectrum sharing may lead to interference, it is imperative to study those factors which contribute to interference, when interference becomes harmful, and how we can mitigate the effects of interference to have a more robust channel. This research focuses on exposing the ways in which antenna radiation parameters like radiation pattern and polarization variability can be used to reduce interference. The pattern changing capabilities of a null steering antenna are studied from the perspective of reducing interference in an indoor environment. For this, a reconfigurable null steering antenna was simulated and fabricated. The field distribution from this antenna was simulated in a two room setting to gauge the effects of multipath on the electric field distribution of the antenna. In addition, a pseudo-indoor setup was designed by introducing metallic perturbations in a free space environment. The effect of the multipath created by the obstructions in the environment was manifested in the form of the change in depth of the null in the radiation pattern of the antenna. While the null of the antenna did not seem to be as effective in a multipath, indoor setting as compared to the free space scenario, the power in the direction of the null was still less than the power away from the null. Hence, antenna features like beam steering, null steering, and pattern and polarization reconfigurability may be used as tools to reduce interference in an indoor setting.

▼ An array antenna consists of a group of radiating elements forming a single aperture to transmit and receive electromagnetic energy. This work focuses on the analysis, development, and design of array antennas geared towards operation over wide frequency bandwidths. As a consequence of the present effort, both the geometry and the operation theory of a louver array antenna are developed, and their use in wide-band antenna arrays investigated.; This dissertation begins by first establishing the electromagnetic boundary condition associated with the radiating aperture of an antenna array made of identical cells. Then, it proceeds to impose this condition on Maxwell's equations to yield the array radiated field as an infinite plane wave spectrum.; To properly investigate the energy transfer efficiency of an array, from circuit to free space, the Poynting theorem is used to determine the power balance equation of the antenna. From this analysis, an aperture reflection coefficient is defined and introduced as a convenient figure-of-merit to gauge the effectiveness of the antenna as an energy transducer. For demonstration purposes, this aperture reflection coefficient is then applied to study the characteristics of the frequently used rectangular microstrip patch array. It is shown that the patch array geometry is prone to excite evanescent fields (i.e., store reactive energy) in its aperture region, causing it to require a highly reactive, and therefore narrow band, matching network behind each element to ensure proper operation. In contrast, the louver array primarily excites a dominant mode field that exactly emulates the desired radiated plane wave, with nearly no evanescent field generation. Since a band-limiting matching structure is not required (to compensate evanescent fields), the louver antenna is inherently wideband. In addition to this fact, the louver antenna is amenable to be integrated directly with semiconductor electronics. This feature allows the future implementation of a densely populated array antenna with fractional wavelength element spacing to enable broad band, wide angle, grating-lobe-free beam scan.; Even though no experimental work was performed for this research, a systematic array design and analysis procedure is presented at the end of this dissertation. To demonstrate their application, a louver array antenna is then designed for a 30-to-1 operation frequency band. As a preliminary validation, this louver array is then modeled using an established commercial finite-element numerical analysis software. Both the analytically and the numerically predicted array performances obtained show close agreement. This validates the design and analysis procedures presented, as well as demonstrate their applicability for implementing high efficiency, wideband, wide scan angle array antennas.

▼ Broadband beamforming plays an important role in many applications involving antennaarray signal processing such as communications, radar, sonar, imaging, geophysicalexploration, astrophysical exploration and biomedical diagnostics. The traditionalapproaches to broadband beamforming use tapped delay line filter architectures, wherethe weights of the filters are chosen by optimization algorithms. Unfortunately, theseapproaches have some limitations. Firstly, large matrices need to be manipulated to estimate the filter coefficients and the necessary steering delays are cumbersome to implement, with implementation errors causing loss of system performance. Secondly, when some imperfections occur in the array, the resulting mismatch in array responses causesdegradation in the beamformer performance. Therefore, the need for robust beamforming arises in many practical applications. Additionally, the placement of nulls in the array pattern is also a vital issue for cancelling slow moving jammers and known unwanted directional sources. Moreover, the traditional techniques have difficulties incontrolling side lobe level regardless of the main lobe position in the array pattern.This thesis presents algorithms for broadband beamforming that overcomes these limitations.The result is a computationally efficient beamformer that does not require presteering delays. A unique feature of these new algorithms is inherent robustness toarray imperfections, giving the user some degree of flexibility in choosing array parameters.The thesis also discusses techniques for broadband pattern synthesis. Thesetechniques are designed to produce isolated point and broad sector spatial nulls in thepresence of array imperfections. Moreover, a robust Chebyshev broadband antenna arraypattern synthesis technique is proposed to achieve a specified side lobe level withinterference cancellation capabilities.The thesis also presents broadband arrays having circular and concentric circular antennaelement geometries, where these arrays are able to scan a beam through entirespace with little change in either the beamwidth or the side lobe level. The performanceof this proposed processor is compared with the performance of existing broadbandprocessors and shows that the limitations of steering delays, computational cost, robustness,equal side lobe level, null placement and array geometries can be overcome by theuse of the robust broadband methods presented in this thesis.
