System and circuit models for microwave antennas

Sobhy, Mohammed, Sanz-Izquierdo, Benito, Batchelor, John C. (2007) System and circuit models for microwave antennas. IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 55 (4). pp. 729-735. ISSN 0018-9480. (doi:10.1109/TMTT.2007.893675) (KAR id:2182)

Abstract

This paper describes how circuit and system models are derived for antennas from measurement of the input reflection coefficient. Circuit models are used to optimize the antenna performance and to calculate the radiated power and the transfer function of the antenna. System models are then derived for transmitting and receiving antennas. The most important contribution of this study is to show how microwave structures can be integrated into the simulation of digital communication systems. This enables system designers to predict the effect of the microwave subsystem on the digital signals and calculate the resulting bit error rate.
