The Design Of Circularly Polarized Cylindrical DRA for 5G Applications

Week 10 (FYP2) Date:2/10/2019 Title: Banner Design for FYP presentation This is the final week to design the banner for the FYP presentation. As in the previous semester the students was only asked to design a poster for the presentation. But due to the limited amount of place as the number of students increased since last semester, students from this semester is asked to design a banner instead. For the banner presentation each students must include: Objectives Project Description Flowchart Methodology Results Conclusions  References The banner is used to represent the project of each student and is used for detailed explanation on the students project. After the banner was printed the expected design of the banner is not as expected and this is due to the printer that was used in the banner printing. To avoid any unclear print of the graph and the design on the banner i have prepared a slide presentation of the design and the graph for the assessors.  ...

Week 9 (FYP2) Date: 23/9/2019 Title: Measurements Made on the Fabricated Antenna When the DRA is done fabricated, it then needs to be measured. To measure the DRA, it must be measured using a network analyzer that is suitable for the high frequency. The figures below shows the sequence of measurements that was taken for the fabricated DRA. Measurements made Using network Analyzer After the completion of fabricating the antenna, measurements must be taken from the fabricated antenna to see if it meets with the simulated result. At first the measurements was quite difficult as an electronics student i was not taught with the use of a network analyzer. With the help of a PhD student, he taught me on how to preset the network analyzer, connecting the antenna to the network analyzer. The aim is to get the value of the return loss from the antenna and compares it with the simulated values.  DRA connected to the transmitter Max Gain of the DRA Once i have obta...

Week 8 (FYP2) Date: 16/9/2019 Title: Fabrication of the Antenna Before the fabrication of the antenna can be done, the materials must first be bought for the fabrication process. Due to the materials that is hard to get i have gone back to Penang to get the materials from USM. With the help of the Postgraduate students there i was able to get the materials that needs to be used for the antenna. The materials was in the form of a PCB board and in order to get the material an etching process must be done to get the material. The figure below shows the antenna being constructed.  Fabricated Power Divider  The fabrication part of the power divider starts off with a CAD drawing of the power divider and the slot for the main part of the antenna. Once the CAD drawing of the design is finally finished, i went to USM's PCB lab to etch the PCB only leaving the drawn power divider and the slot. The etching part was done to remove the unwanted copper layer on the PCB board le...

Week 7 (FYP2) Date: 4/9/2019 Title: Pitching Technique talk All of the FYP students are encouraged to attend a Pitching Technique talk by Mr Rostam. The aim of the Pitching Technique talk was to help the students believe in themselves to pitch during the FYP presentation day with the internal and external assessors. The talk was held at TTL 1 at 3 P.M.
