Non-Foster Antenna Bandwidth for Wireless Systems


Overview

See schedule below for points weighting and due dates

Groups are expected to be the same as during semester, unless otherwise approved by email from instructor


SCHEDULE


REQUIREMENTS


The requirements of this project are:
  1. Summarize a recent IEEE paper regarding the use of non-Foster circuits (such as negative capacitors) 
      1. Use -9.6 pF from article and use Fig. 7 bandwidth of "UHF Electrically Small Box Cage Loop Antenna With an Embedded Non-Foster Load," by   Justin Church ;  Jia-Chi Samuel Chieh  ;  Lu Xu ;  John D. Rockway ;  Diana Arceo
      2. Use -2.2 pF from Fig. 3(a) and use Fig. 3(c) bandwidth of "Non-Foster Matched Antennas for High-Power Applications," by Minu M. Jacob  ;  Daniel F. Sievenpiper.
      3. Use -1.0 pF from article and use Fig. 2 bandwidth of "Non-foster broadband matching networks for electrically-small antennas," by Nikolay Ivanov, Bair Buyantuev, Viacheslav Turgaliev, Dmitry Kholodnyak
      4. Use -0.5 pF from Fig. 1 and use Fig. 1 bandwidths of "Non-foster circuits for small broadband antennas," by Stavros Koulouridis and  John L. Volakis
  2. Simulate the non-Foster circuit (some papers have negative inductors and/or negative capacitors, but only simulate the negative capacitance as noted below)
  3. Write a 2-page IEEE-format report using the template e4123finalProjTemplate_cryp.zip  (paswword is instructor last name)
  4. Prepare powerrpoint slides
  5. Prepare presentation video
  6. Participate in peer review of final presentation videos during the final exam session
