Development of antenna arrays for terrestrial and satellite applicationsFeasibility study of different solutions to monitoring the atmospheric pollution, determination of electromagnetic fields in urban scenarios and calculation of their dosimetry in small animals

Resumen

The present work can be summarized as it follows: First of all, it will be held theoretical and numerical studies to improve the performance of antenna arrays by focusing on the isophoric case. Then, different antenna designs are shown and discussed, in order to be integrated within the urban environment. Some of these designs are experimentally tested. On the other hand, a study on the characterization of the electromagnetic fields through urban areas based on an equivalent planar circuit model is highlighted. Moreover and lastly, the influence of the electromagnetic fields in small animals is discussed by using two methods for the SAR level determination.
