Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The research is looking into possible performance improvements and costs reduction of microwave transceivers by investigating signal cancellation through the application of a novel printed circuit feed arrangements.Intentionally mismatching the antenna of a transceiver produces a relected wave that can be used to cancel signal breakthrough to the receiver circuit and as a result improve its sensitivity. Also, the hypothesis that a quadrature hybrid can replace a junction circulator will be investigated. Development of a duel fed quad slot antenna arrangement will complement and support the work into substituting a circulator with a printed circuit element, namely a branch line coupler.The investigation will employ CAD modelling and laboratory measurements to verify the success of the research programme.
