Segmented patch antenna radar for ground penetrating radar applications

摘要

This invention deals with the design of segmented patch antenna implemented according to the total morphing approach. The segmented patch is designed as extension of reference bowtie antenna, suitable for a stepped frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)applications , with geometric variable in order to work in different operating conditions. The segmented one is tested with the work frequency of 2.54 GHz (ISM band) using reflector technique, so as to compare the far-field effects and gain of each design. The purpose of this invention is to design a highly directive, low cost, low profile and easily reproducible antenna. This antenna was designed for the use of WLAN 802.11. To achieve this goal we identified 4 main objectives. The antenna must have high gain, low build cost, small and light weight design, and easy to manufacture.
