Research Abstract

My research interest includes dual linear and dual circular polarized wideband phased array antennas with heat sink properties where 5G silicon RFICs are employed for beamforming network. I am interested in working on different types of wideband, high gain, dual linear and dual circular polarized multipurpose phased array antennas with wide scan range, and particularly concentrated on 3D metal printed antenna structures with heat sink properties. I am using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS), AWR Microwave office, CST Microwave Studio, Ansys Icepack, Altium and Matlab softwares for my research. Antennas are measured for radiation pattern in San Diego State University’s Antenna and Microwave Lab (AML) in its far-field anechoic chamber (800 MHz- 40 GHz) and mini-compact antenna test range (M-CATR, 26.5 – 110 GHz), and thermal analysis is validated by infra red (IR) camera.
