Abstract

In the last decade, the field of On Chip Antennas (OCA) has experienced unprecedented growth due to the introduction of small, low-cost, low-power System-on-Chip (SoC) wireless communication devices. OCAs are superior to conventional off-chip antennas in a number of ways. They first reduce the overall size of the wireless communication system since the presence of an OCA eliminates the need for an impedance matching network between the antenna and RF front-end. Second, OCA-based systems offer improved repeatability and bandwidth, easier system integration, and increased productivity. Thirdly, OCA-based wireless communication systems are power-efficient since they don’t lose a lot of power as a result of reflections and dielectric losses. In the end, they provide designers with flexibility by allowing the co-design of transceiver and antenna components, which saves important design time and chip space. In this research, a low-cost antenna parameter measurement system utilizing the AD9850 DDS signal generator and the AD8302 logarithmic amplifier/phase detector is proposed. It makes antenna testing and analysis easier by improving signals up to 6 GHz and evaluating Return Loss and SWR Ratio.

Keywords: Antenna parameters, AD8302, RF power measurement, gain, radiation pattern, return loss, logarithmic amplifier
