Abstract:
The author presents the development of a new dielectric resonator antenna(DRA) suitable for wideband wireless communication applications.The design comprises of a simple cylindrical dielectric resonator (DR) and a microstrip feed, in a low radiation-Q structure,enabling wide impedance bandwidth.The radiation pattern is conical shaped,resulted from thew low-Q structure.Dielectric constant of the DR,its dimensions and topological parameters of the feed line are the major design parameters of the antenna.By proper selection of these parameters,the DRA can be operated over a wideband width covering multiple wireless applications.The antenna is simulated using Ansoft HFSS TM and measured using HP 8510C vector network analyser.Some of the measured results are confirmed by using the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) technique implemented in MATLAB.

Abstract:
The thesis deals with the preparation and dielectric characterization of
Poly aniline and its analogues in ISM band frequency of 2-4 GHz that includes part
of the microwave region (300 MHz to 300 GHz) of the electromagnetic spectrum
and an initial dielectric study in the high frequency [O.05MHz-13 MHz].
PolyaniIine has been synthesized by an in situ doping reaction under different
temperature and in the presence of inorganic dopants such as HCl H2S04, HN03,
HCl04 and organic dopants such as camphorsulphonic acid [CSA],
toluenesulphonic acid {TSA) and naphthalenesulphonic acid [NSA]. The variation
in dielectric properties with change in reaction temperature, dopants and
frequency has been studied. The effect of codopants and microemulsions on the dielectric properties has also been studied in the ISM band. The ISM band of
frequencies (2-4 GHz) is of great utility in Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM)
applications. Microwave heating is a very efficient method of heating dielectric
materials and is extensively used in industrial as well as household heating
applications.
