Antenna for mobile high power microwave generator
Kračmar, Leoš ; Láčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Mikulášek, Tomáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design and practical implementation of a magnetron connected to waveguide as an excitation source for a linear slot antenna array. The goal was thorough acquaintance with the issue of partial parts of designs, verification of calculated parameters using software simulations and practical measurements on manufactured parts of the project. In the first part of the work, it theoretically deals with used components, used parameters and by software design of a magnetron to waveguide transition model with practical measurement. The second part of the work contains calculations and simulations of the design of a linear slot antenna array, which continues by series of practical measurements of antenna properties.

Antennas for milimeter-wave bands
Pítra, Kamil ; Svoboda, Petr (referee) ; Raida, Zbyněk (advisor)
This thesis describes design and experimental verification of three types of the wideband antenna Bow-tie antenna, Vivaldi antenna and Spiral antenna. The tracked parameters are bandwidth, input impedance, gain and directivity patterns. Next step is design of millimeter-wave horn antennas. Attention is turned to the proper construction of a wideband feeder of the horn. For the final antenna structure, a bow-tie dipole and a Vivaldi antenna were chosen. The antenna construction is aimed to provide a wide bandwidth on one hand and a high gain on the other hand.

Antennas for energy transmission along the car roof
Škoda, Adam ; Hebelka, Vladimír (referee) ; Vélim, Jan (advisor)
The presented master’s thesis deals with antennas transmitting energy along conductive materials. Surface waves are used for energy transmission. According to its properties, the horn antenna was chosen for the problem solution. This thesis includes the theoretical analysis of surface waves, waveguides and horn antennas. The concept of antennas includes the comparison of two different materials and two different frequencies. From the set of 8GHz antennas, the structure of two antennas where one wearing the other was chosen as the most suitable. The FoamClad material was also selected due to achievement of better parameters and properties then material CuClad. This structure was designed by two identical horn antennas where the energy between them is transmitted via slot. The suitable feeding and parallel plates were designed, and further the current structure was modified to SIW structure. The designed antenna was manufactured and its properties were measured for further comparison with simulation results. Furthermore, achieved differences between simulated and real antenna are discussed.

Network for high-frequency on-body communication
Halas, David ; Láčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kokolia, Martin (advisor)
This work focuses on the design of a network for high-frequency communication on the human body. The thesis is focused on the design of two-band antennas, namely 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The antenna is integrated into the textile and works close to the human body. The introduction describes the problem of spreading electromagnetic waves along the human body. Further, the thesis deals with the applicability of different types of antennas for integration on the textile substrate. Based on the simulations performed, a suitable antenna is selected for the purpose. The simulation program used is the CST Microwave Studio. In the end, the antennas were optimized, subsequently manufactured and their parameters measured.

Transmitting antenna with dual circular polarisation for indoor antenna measurement range
Mrnka, Michal ; Hazdra, Pavel (referee) ; Raida, Zbyněk (advisor)
The purpose of the thesis is to design transmitting antenna based on septum polarizer solution for indoor measurement range. The antenna is considered for both senses of circular polarization. The design is divided into three main sections. First section is devoted to analysis and selection of a suitable waveguide. Ridge waveguide as a crucial part of a septum polarizer is mentioned in this section. Second part is the most critical; here the septum polarizer is analyzed and based on simple procedure also designed. Two suitable horn apertures are then developed as a part of the third section. Individual transmitting antenna parts are assembled together into one model and simulated with excellent results for axial ratio, cross-polarization discrimination, return loss and isolation between ports.

Zechmeister, Jaroslav ; Hazdra, Pavel (referee) ; Láčík, Jaroslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of lens antennas for automotive radar in 77 GHz bandwidth. The work explains methods of designing waveguides as well as horn antennas and dielectric lens. A simulation of three designed horn antennas is performed in CST Microwave Studio. Antennas with spherical and hyperbolical lens are simulated as well and subsequently optimized for maximal gain. The thesis also investigates effects of the lens permittivity on its properties. Furthermore, the work deals with a design of an antenna system with minimalized antenna coupling. Nylon, ABS and photopolymer lens are designed and compared afterwards. ABS and photopolymer lens were produced by 3D print

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 optimization 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 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.

The aim of this thesis is the development of the workplace for the complex permittivity measurement by free space method. At the beginning of this thesis, the method is described. Further attention is focused on the discussions concerning electromagnetic properties of materials, comparison of the methods used for complex permittivity measurement, interactions of planar electromagnetic wave with planar infinite dielectric slab of general environment and description of radiation patterns of microwave antennas. In the rest of the thesis, the measuring workplace for the free space method is designed and fabricated. A pyramidal horn antenna is selected as a radiator. The antenna is designed with coax to waveguide transition in CST Microwave Studio, and than fabricated in two samples and measured. Finally, the fabricated measuring workplace is exploited for the complex permittivity measurement.
