3D printed directional antenna
Dvořák, Václav ; Horák, Jiří (referee) ; Láčík, Jaroslav (advisor)
This master thesis deals with a study of directional antennas, followed by their design and optimalization of horn antenna based on SIW for Ka band (26,5- 40 GHz). The first part of the thesis contains the theoretical analysis of the different types of directional antennas, also the SIW technology is described here. It also describes the 3D printing technology by means of which the final antenna should be made. The next part of this work is about design of horn antenna based on SIW. Simulation and optimization of the antenna will be done using the CST Microwave Studio. The final part of the thesis deals with evaluation of achieved results.

Circularly polarized textile-integrated antenna array
Rujzl, Miroslav ; Láčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Raida, Zbyněk (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the design of the right-hand circularly polarized antenna arrays operated in the ISM band 5.8 GHz. The planar antenna array is integrated into the 3D textile produced by SINTEX, which is used as upholstery on the roof of a car. In the thesis, several antenna models are described. Models operate with linear and circular polarization. Initial antenna designs were based on a microstrip technology. Later antenna designs are modified using substrate integrated waveguide technology. Finally, a three-element patch array with a coaxial excitation was fabricated and tested.

SIW fed Yagi antenna
Jakubíček, Marek ; Láčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Všetula, Petr (advisor)
This thesis describes the design of Yagi-Uda antenna on the frequency of 12 GHz situated on suitable substrate. The thesis also deals with the design of the substrate integrated waveguide which is used as an antenna feeder. The thesis is divided to the theory, design of the substrate integrated waveguide, design of the planar Yagi antenna and the waveguide to antenna connection. The next step is an analysis of the created structure by CST Microwave Studio® design software, eventual structure adjustment, realization and behavior verification.

SIW-Based Circularly Polarized Antenna Arrays
Špůrek, Jan ; Joler,, Miroslav (referee) ; Mazánek, Miloš (referee) ; Raida, Zbyněk (advisor)
Tato disertační práce prezentuje nový koncept kruhově polarizovaných anténních řad na bázi vlnovodu integrovaného do substrátu. Hlavní devízou konceptu je modularita, kdy je základní stavební blok řady použitelný pro tvorbu komplexnějších řad a tento blok zároveň slouží jako šablona pro návrh komplexnější struktury. Anténní řada byla simulována a experimentálně ověřena pro frekvence 17 a 60 GHz. Na základě dosažených výsledků byla odvozena metodologie pro návrh a identifikovány klíčové oblasti návrhu. Následně práce představuje techniku zvýšení šířky pásma osového poměru kruhově polarizovaných anténních řad pomoci parazitních flíčků, které jsou umístěny nad zářiče v definované vzdálenosti. Anténní řada z první části práce byla použita v simulacích a experimentálním ověření pro frekvence 17 a 60 GHz, kdy byla tato řada rozšířena o parazitní strukturu, přidávajíc další vrstvu modularity do konceptu.

Simulation and optimization of the antenna will be done using the CST Microwave Studio. The horn antenna was modeled with three different dielectric loads. The horn antenna with an experimental triangular dielectric load was chosen for fabrication. The fabricated antenna has reached almost the whole bandwidth to cover Ka. The antenna gain was 9,38 dBi for 33 GHz frequency.

Wideband low-profile circularly polarized antenna array
Benites Ayala, Jhony Cristian ; Cupal, Miroslav (referee) ; Raida, Zbyněk (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on the study of a novel type of wideband low-profile circular array antenna with circular polarization and high gain. The aim of this thesis is to design, optimize and implement the proposed antenna for a 5.5 - 7 GHz frequency band. The thesis deals with theoretical fundamentals in order to subsequently present the concept of the antenna. Furthermore, it describes its design and implementation stages. The antenna was designed in the full-wave program CST Microwave Studio and fabricated on dielectric substrate. Both simulated and measured property results are evaluated in the conclusion.

Textile SIW Rectangular Ring-slot Antennas for Off-body Communication
Vašina, Petr
In this paper, a textile SIW rectangular ring-slot antenna for the ISM frequency band 5.8 GHz is proposed. The antenna radiates a linearly polarized wave with the maximum radiation in the perpendicular direction to the antenna plane. The antenna is fabricated on the soft-shell fabric in the two versions. In the first version, the conductive layers were fabricated by a self-adhesive copper foil. In the second version, the conductive layers were fabricated by the screen printing on a foil ironed on the soft-shell fabric. Experimental results prove that the proposed antenna fabricated by copper foil achieves the impedance bandwidth of 3.1 % for the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB and the gain of 6.91 dBi. While screen printing antenna achieves the impedance bandwidth of 2.93 % for the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB and the gain of 7 dBi, respectively.

H-plane SIW Howrn Antenna for On-body Communication
Cupal, Miroslav
The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology allows us to construct several types of low-profile antennas. One of these antennas is h-plane SIW horn antenna. However, this antenna shows constraints if thickness of the substrate is smaller than λ/10. A modified h-plane horn antenna to be used close to human body tissue is presented in this paper. Attention is paid to the decrease of the elevation angle of the main beam in E-plane. The antenna has been developed for wireless links of on body communication.
