  2. 1. Dielectrically Loaded Quad-ridge Flared Horns for Ultra Wideband Reflector Feed Applications in Radio Astronomy

    Author : Jonas Flygare; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dielectric loaded antennas; dielectric materials; reflector antenna feeds; radio astronomy; ultra wideband antennas; quad-ridge flared horn qrfh ; radio receivers; horn antennas; broadband antennas; aperture antennas.;

    Abstract : Reflector-based radio telescopes are used as tools for observations in both radio astronomy and space geodesy. To observe the weak sources in space, highly sensitive receivers, fronted by optimized reflector feeds, are therefore needed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Miniaturized Hard Waveguides in Multifunction Array Antennas

    Author : Malcolm Ng Mou Kehn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; interlaced arrays; Floquet theorem; reflector antennas; focal plane array; multifunction antennas; miniaturized waveguides; multilayer structures; spectral domain technique; periodic structures; aperture reuse; method of moments; soft and hard surfaces; array antennas;

    Abstract : Recent advances in technologies of wireless communications systems have led to an increasing desire for several antennas performing diverse functions at different frequencies to be integrated into a common radiating aperture. This gives rise to the so-called multifunction antenna, which affords the saving of scarce premium real estate and can alleviate problems arising from excessive antenna protrusions in aspects such as aerodynamics, aesthetics, and stealth capability in military applications.

  7. 5. Space Geodesy Techniques: An Experimental and Theoretical Study of Antenna Related Error Sources

    Author : R. T. Kenneth Jaldehag; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reflector antennas; signal scattering; very long baseline interferometry VLBI ; signal multipath; space geodesy; GPS error sources; geodetic networks; Global Positioning System GPS ; postglacial rebound; choke-ring antennas;

    Abstract : This thesis presents work associated with antenna related error sources, as well as antenna design, in space geodesy utilizing the techniques of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and the Global Positioning System (GPS). Geodetic VLBI uses large radio telescopes, often in global networks observing at least a few times per year. READ MORE
