Enhancement of Tools for Design of Antennas for Mobile Devices 2003 Clemson SURE Program Presented By: Robert J. Loeven Advisor: Dr. Anthony Martin
Modern Mobile Device Antennas • Very Small • Multi-Band • Used in Cell Phones, Wireless Laptops, etc. • PIFA – Planar Inverted F-type Antenna
Project Goals • Use MATLAB to model antenna structures and performance, using Makarov programs Antenna and EM Modeling, Sergey N. Makarov, John Wiley and Sons Inc. 2002 • Alter Makarov programs to show more detail and enhance quality of output • Use new programs to analyze antennas, specifically patch antennas designed for cell phones and wireless notebook connections
Triangular Surface-Patch Meshes and the Rao-Wilton-Glisson Basis Functions • First requires a 3D “Mesh” antenna structure which can be created using MATLAB PDE Toolbox • Plate Example
Equations • Surface Currents – • Current Interpolation
Bowtie Example to Demonstrate Color Modifications in RWG5.m and plotcurr5.m
Dipole Frequency Demonstrationλ/2 (75MHz)λ (150MHz) 3λ/2 (225MHz) 2λ (300 MHz)
Future Work • Speed up code by using matrix interpolation • Modify plotcurr5.m code to work in 3D • Modify codes to allow for the inclusion of dielectric materials into the antennas • Use program to simulate and study real world antenna designs
