Development of Low-Profile Radio Link Antennas for Millimeter Waves

摘要

This thesis deals with the development of low-profile high-gain millimeter waveantennas for radio link applications, and with antenna measurement techniques. The topic is currently important, since the use of radio links has increased along with the building of mobile phone networks, as they provide a means of quickly and cost-effectively establishing a high-capacity connection between two fixed locations. The radio link terminals are placed on roof tops etc., where they are visible and alter the appearance of the environment. An inconspicuous radio link terminal would solve this problem, and a low-profile antenna is needed t achieve this goal.
