Final project: transmission lines and antennas
For my final project, I decided to do a deep dive in the world of transmission lines and antennas. I show pracitcal ways to make your own antenna from scratch, with careful considerations about impedance matching and the substrate’s permittivity.
The final result is a printed dipole antenna that can transmit WiFi data at 2.4 GHz:
To measure the permittivity of the FR1 board used for this, I fabricated this ring resonator:
The project’s documentation is split in three parts, listed below
