    Designing Simple ReflectArray Antenna At 10Ghz with Gain of 30dBs and


    SLL -30dB
    Saad Ullah Durrani And Dr Muhammad Amin.IST

    Abstract— The wireless communication industry is growing III. PROBLEM STATEMENT


    exponentially day by day. New researches have been conducted to design
    cost effective high quality antennas. The purpose of this research paper is To produce a cost effective, reflect array for high gain reflection. We
    to design a reflect array antenna with a gain up to 30 db. The specialized are required to obtain high gain. And the reflective wave should have
    quality of this design is to reflect the incident wave with equal phase and same phase and amplitude.
    amplitude. The gain obtained from a simple Dipole is less than that of Yagi
    Uda therefore to achieve maximum gain, of 30 dB Yagi Uda (8x8 reflect
    array) was used. IV. PROPOSED SOLUTION

    By using array of 8x8 Yagi Uda antenna we can obtain the desired
    I. INTRODUCTION gain and in phase reflection with the same amplitude.
    Antenna is a device for radiating or receiving radio waves [1]. We
    V. CALCULATIONS
    design simple array antenna to achieve maximum gain. We cannot
    achieve desired gain using simple dipole antenna. It is very
    important to have an antenna with a maximum gain because greater
    the gain of the antenna greater will be its performance. Same purpose
    can be achieved by Yagi Uda antenna which has a maximum gain
    with high performance. A Yagi Uda antenna is an example of an
    antenna array with a lot of parasitic elements. It is designed by a
    Dipole antenna. Yagi Uda antenna consists of an active element, a
    boom stick and a reflector at the back of the active element.it has
    numerous directors in the front for the directivity. This antenna is
    more directional than simple dipole as simple dipole is
    omnidirectional. 8x8 Yagi Uda was used to achieve the desired gain
    because the gain achieved by a Diploe antenna is very less. If same
    amount of gain is to be achieved by a simple dipole antenna we will
    have to use large amount of elements in the array which will make
    the whole structure complicated.

    II. Literature Review


    To design a reflect array antenna by the combination of 8x8 Yagi FIGURE1: For finding D between the two antennas
    Uda antenna we need to know the director length, operating
    frequency and the number of elements used. The distance between
    every element of the array is to found to produce equal phase shift. For in phase reflection and same amplitude, we need to adjust the
    Equal phase shift is necessary to avoid overlapping of the wave and Distance (D) between the set of antennas. Right now we are finding
    loss of the transmitted data. This increase the performance of the distance between two antennas so that by doing this we can get
    antenna as the loss of data transmitted is reduced. Main part of the same phase and amplitude in reflected wave.
    reflect array is a feed. Radiation pattern and phase of the signal is
    effected by the impedance [2]. A phase shifting cell can also be
    designed as a reflect array [3]. By placing a partially reflecting sheet
    array in front of the antenna increases the directivity but this
    arrangement effects the efficiency by reducing it. By increasing the
    elements in the array Yagi Uda antenna serves best to obtain the
    desired gain to maximize its gain. The array of Horn antenna can
    produce more gain than that of Yagi Uda but its construction is
    complicated. Moreover, the array of simple dipole antenna cannot
    produce the desired gain unless we use a lot of elements e.g. one
    dipole antenna produces 2.1db gain and array of 32 dipole antenna
    produces 14.5 dB gain. From this we concluded that dipole array is
    not suited best for producing the desired gain [4].

    Now by these equations we can find out the distance between set of
    two antennas.

    For example
    To keep the phase and amplitude constant suppose
    θ= 30o
    r1=0.1m VI. SIMULATIONS
    So

    So putting the values for equal phase and amplitude reflection

    D=1.29meter.

    So the distance kept between the two antenna set should be


    1.29meter to achieve same phase and amplitude of the incident wave.

    directivity of 7dBi

    Figure4: Directivity at 10.5Ghz is 7dBi.
    Keep the D between Yagi Uda element constant for in phase
    reflection and same amplitude.

    Figure6: Elevation Plot of the Single yaqi Uda Antenna

    Hence figure 6 and 7 was simulated for a single Yaqi Uda which
    shows 15dB gain. So by increasing the Yaqi Uda antennas in the
    array the gain is increased. 8x8 Yaqi Uda produces 27dB gain.[5-6]

    VII. CONCLUSION
    By using Yagi Uda 8x8 array we obtained the required gain with in
    phase reflection and same amplitude. The simulated one element of
    Yagi Uda array gain was found to be 15dB. For 8x8 array the desired
    gain is 27dB which almost equal to 30 dB which was required. From
    this it was concluded that array of Yagi Uda antenna give moiré
    desirable reflect array properties for the required gain.
