Simple antenna solutions for modern communication systems

This thesis highlights the significance of antennas in modern communication systems and contributes to the field of wireless communication by presenting new and inno-vative microstrip patch antenna designs, suitable for a variety of applications. It also emphasizes the necessity of compact and adaptable antenna designs that ensure reli-able communication capabilities while preserving the form factor. The featured designs offer a promising solution for enhancing the performance of contemporary communi-cation systems, thereby facilitating seamless communication for diverse applications. The designs include a single-sided printed circular ring fractal antenna, a compact GPS antenna for autonomous vehicles’ shark fin aerial, and a dual-band 1 ｘ 2 coupled monopole printed antenna array. These antenna designs furnish dependable and ef-fective operability for biomedical applications, GPS reception in Vehicle-to-Everything communication, and Internet of Things based smart home devices and sensors, mak-ing them an excellent resource to advance the development of wireless communication technologies.
