ABSTRACT

The main objective of this project is to simulate and analyze a dipole antenna. It explains
the principles related to the antenna. This project explains the antenna trainer set and its
objectives, different antenna measurement techniques such as how to measure and plot
antenna radiation pattern, measurement of antenna beamwidth, antenna gain, and how to
interface panel for auto plotting of antenna radiation pattern. A parametric explanation is
done to show how the flare angle, length, and lumped resistors of the antenna should be
selected to achieve broadband properties and good target detection with less clutter. The
screening of the antenna and the position of transmitting and receiving antennas
concerning each other and ground surface is also done. Several other planar geometrical
shapes are considered and compared with the bow-tie to find what geometrical shape gives
the best performance.
