Research Assistant
 Reduction of Specified Absorption Rate (SAR) on the next generation wireless wideband
smart mobile phone antennas using different techniques to reduce hazardous radiation
effects that affects human tissues. A PIFA designed to cover the GSM 850 MHz, GSM
900 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz, PCS 1900 MHz, UMTS 2100 MHz, as well as most of the
upper and lower LTE Bands.
 Used Field Manipulation (FM) technique for designing a flat broadband lens with a gain
higher than 1dB. The lens design consists of 10 radial layers, and 5 longitudinal layers of
graded index dielectric materials. The longitudinal middle layer primarily contributes to
the bulk of the phase transformation while the four layers above and below act as
matching layers that diminishes reflections introduced by the impedance mismatch at the
interfaces of the middle layer.
 Designed an Iso-flux Pattern Antenna (IPA) for operation in the Ka band, the IPA is
designed to radiate at a specific elevation angle, while suppressing radiation along the
zenith.
 Worked on a flat-base Luneburg type of lens antenna, designed for wide angle scan. The
antenna consists of 11 radial layers, fed at its base via 6x6 array of waveguides. The lens
is broadband and has a high aperture efficiency of only 1 dB below that of a reference
aperture antenna with uniform amplitude and phase distributions. Its sidelobe level is -21
dB at boresight and -13 dB when the scan angle is 64.
