No / A coplanar edge-fed triangular patch antenna with an integrated stubline is proposed for harmonic rejection application. The design is aimed to achieve a good impedance matching to 50 ω at the fundamental frequency while suppressing radiation of the first and second harmonics. The antenna is attended to operate around 1GHz, with acceptable power gain above 1dBi and less than -15dBi at the harmonics. Simulated and measured results show a reasonable agreement.

Consequently, the study of system components has also increased. Within this context, antennas are fundamental elements in the physical layer in radiofrequency communications, and their study has become a research area with great advances. The need in certain systems for smaller antennas and more adaptability in the space makes the microstrip antennas in potential substitutes of the traditional antennas. This work aims to find prototypes of microfite antennas that have physical and electrical characteristics, such as gain and polarization, superior to the commercial antennas of a FPV communication system (First Person View) operating at 5.8 GHz. The methodology used in this research consists of a theoretical survey about circular polarization antennas, design, simulate and construct these antennas using different substrates in order to verify their performance and to ship them in an FPV system. The results obtained through the simulation are compared with the experimental results in order to attest to the model in question based on the literature used in this work. Preliminarily, the simulated and measured results show that the Triangular Patch Antennas have all the desirable characteristics for operation in the FPV system, being possible to board them for the obtaining of images and analysis of the performance of the system / A demanda em redes de comunicação sem fio tem aumentado consideravelmente nos últimos anos. Consequentemente, o estudo dos componentes dos sistemas também aumentou. Dentro desse contexto, as antenas são elementos fundamentais na camada física em comunicações via radiofrequência, e o seu estudo tornou-se uma área de pesquisa com grandes avanços. A necessidade em determinados sistemas por antenas de menor porte e mais adaptabilidade no espaço tornam as antenas de microfita em potenciais substitutos das antenas tradicionais. Diante disso, esse trabalho objetiva encontrar protótipos de antenas de microfita que possuam características físicas e elétricas, como ganho e polarização, superiores às antenas comerciais de um sistema de comunicação em FPV (First Person View), operando em 5.8 GHz. A metodologia utilizada nessa pesquisa consiste em um levantamento teórico acerca das antenas de polarização circular, projetar, simular e construir estas antenas utilizando diferentes substratos a fim de verificar seu desempenho e embarcá-las em um sistema FPV. Os resultados obtidos através da simulação são comparados com os resultados experimentais a fim de atestar o modelo em questão com base na literatura empregada neste trabalho. Preliminarmente, os resultados simulados e medidos mostram que as Antenas Patch Triangular possuem todas as características desejáveis para operação no sistema FPV, sendo possível embarcá-las para a obtenção de imagens e análise de desempenho do sistema com as mesmas / 2018-06-11

Many computer graphic API’s, including OpenGL, emphasize modeling with rectangular patches, which are especially useful in Computer Aided Geomeric Design (CAGD). However, not all shapes are rectangular; some are triangular or more complex. This paper extends the OpenGL library to support the modeling of triangular patches, Coons patches, and Box-splines patches. Compared with the triangular patch created from degenerate rectangular Bezier patch with the existing functions provided by OpenGL, the triangular Bezier patches can be used in certain design situations and allow designers to achieve high-quality results that are less CPU intense and require less storage space. The addition of Coons patches and Box splines to the OpenGL library also give it more functionality. Both patch types give CAGD users more flexibility in designing surfaces. A library for all three patch types was developed as an addition to OpenGL.
