Abstract: The microstrip patch in its pure form cannot satisfy the bandwidth requirements for most wireless communication systems. The general philosophy of most of the bandwidth enhancement techniques is to add one or more resonant structures to the microstrip patch configuration. These additional elements may be in the form of slots or other patches. This thesis introduces the design and analysis of bandwidth enhancements for a microstrip patch antenna using different slot configurations.

Abstract:Despite the numerous advantages, microstrip patch antennas suffer from narrow bandwidth which is approximately within 3-6% of the central frequency, one of the efficient methods used for the enhancement of MSPA

Abstract: Microwave link is one of several transmission media in modern telecommunications networks; it provides reliable data transfer in a wide variety of systems such as GSM, WLL, televisions and many other applications that need data transfer with reliable transfer rate and bandwidth. This thesis studies the point-to-point, line-of-sight microwave links design and the effective parameters on link performance. It presents the diffraction losses due to obstacles within the first Fresnel zone of a link.
