Abstract

Using light to exchange RF signal has rapidly developed since the innovation of optical fiber and semiconductor laser in 1960's. A Photonics Antenna (PA), which brings together the worlds of radiofrequency engineering (radiation of EM wave) and optoelectronics devices (laser, photo diode), has attracted and give great importance from both the research group of people and the commercial sector over the past 30 years and is set to have a bright future. The essential focal point of photonics for antenna system has, truly, been on the advancement of connection and beam steering techniques. By utilizing photonically controlled gadgets and materials it is conceivable to deliver progressive changes in receiving antenna components and in the structure and properties of exhibits, opening the new door for another class of Antenna. This technology enables complex or even impossible functions in the field of radiofrequency (RF) in microwave systems and creates new opportunities fortelecommunications networks. We present the technology of the photonics community and summarize current research and important applications. This review paper summarizes the comprehensive study of photonics feeding antenna, or Photonics for antenna characteristics, possible applications and wireless communication challenges of this promising type of Antenna.

Abstract

Nowadays, the demand for compact, high, wide bandwidth and, a low-cost antenna has increased rapidly. An antenna is a transducer that converts electrical signals to EM waves and radiates into space. The antenna performance can be measured by gain, return loss, VSWR etc. Antennas are classified into several types but the microstrip patch antennas are mostly used for several specific applications because of its low profile, lightweight, low cost, feed-line flexibility, versatility, ease of fabrication etc. Even though it has several advantages, it suffers from major drawbacks namely narrow bandwidth, low gain, high return loss. In order to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, FR-4 materials are used. Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measurement that describes the radiation level absorbed by the human body or tissue when placed at RF field. It is defined as the power absorbed per mass of tissue and has units of watt per kilogram. SAR is measured either with the complete body or over a small sample volume (1g or 10g of tissue). The antenna performance can be evaluated in terms of gain, VSWR and the return loss were calculated for the proposed antenna and the proposed antenna provides the peak the gain of 4.51dB at 10.846GHz and also the SAR value of 0.00117W/Kg are evaluated for 1g of tissue for the proposed antenna. The human phantom model and the proposed antennas are designed using CST (Computer Simulation Technology) microwave Studio Tool.

Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks is the collection of wireless nodes that can exchange information dynamically among them without pre-existing fixed infrastructure. Here the routing protocols are evaluated over noisy channels. Three protocols used here are Optimum Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR-Proactive) Routing protocol, Zone Routing protocol (ZRP-Hybrid), Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV-reactive) routing protocol, taking traffic density and mobility. The basic fading environments such as AWGN, Rayleigh and Ricean. This paper presents a simulation-based comparison and performance analysis on different parameters like Throughput, and Average End-to-End delay for different traffic densities and node mobility.

Abstract

The essential element in radar and radiation pattern of open ended slot arrays will be communication applications is antenna. In Several applications radiation with polarization in the desired direction is required. Waveguide junctions can be used for such applications. In H-plane Tee junctions, tee arm is coupled to main waveguide narrow wall through longitudinal slot. In order to provide additional parameters for array designer, inclined slots are used instead of longitudinal slots in the narrow wall of main distorted because mutual coupling exists between the slots. But slot coupled shunt tees suppress the cross polarized components, which in turn reduces the mutual coupling between the slots. Slots in rectangular waveguide Arrays are considered by Stevenson. Studies are made for infinite guides with matched termination, but in practice, the guides have wave guide, which produces vertical polarization with unmatched termination. Arthur’s et al.[1] analysis to purity. The present work gives analysis to obtain equivalent impedance parameters as seen from conductance, susceptance, coupling and VSWR as a function of frequency after determining the resonant slot length for different antenna parameters like slot angle and slot width. For C-band H-plan Tee junction the results are numerically computed using concepts of self- reaction and discontinuity in modal currents. For array designers this data presented is useful.

Abstract

A novel approach to design a microstrip patch antenna is proposed for wide beam, and low profile applications. In this project microstrip patch antenna is structures to compose X-shaped cut on rectangular patch. The need of high data rates for wireless communication becomes more and more urgent, and various solutions have been brought forward. This X-shaped microstrip patch antenna is an excellent design for ultra wide band applications. The proposed antenna simulation is going to be carried out through 3d electromagnetic simulation software called ANSOFT HFSS and fabricated on dielectric substrate FR-4 by using Microstrip line feeding technique. Using Vector Network Analyzer E5071C, the invent antenna is tested and results are to be differentiated with Simulation results. The parameters that are focused here is resonant frequency, return loss, VSWR, Gain and Percentage Bandwidth.

Abstract

Optical fiber is one of the effective modes of transmission to access the network. They are widely used in telecommunications since they allow sending large amount of data at a greater distance and have larger bandwidth than other forms of communication. The main objective of an optical access network is to provide access to the user even in long-haul distance. A fiber link from the central office provides services to multiple users using transmitters over a single fiber link. This paper reviewed the technical options and comprehensive study on the next generation of optical access solutions. To upgrade the optical access networks, it should satisfy the bandwidth demand co-existing with previous technology requirements. There are lot of technologies used to access the NG-PON, but Full Service Access Network (FSAN) selects the TWDM as the primary solution for second generation Passive Optical Network (NG-PON2). This TWDM is the combination of both Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). TWDM is largely deployed in NG-PON2 access networks because of its high data rates. In addition, this paper previews the various models in TWDM networks.
