Most caltech theses are available online via caltechthesis . if the thesis you're interested in isn't available, there are a few possible reasons:, if you find the thesis in the caltechthesis database, but the link to the pdf says that it is restricted to the caltech community, only those with access.caltech accounts can download the full text. if you do not have an access.caltech account, please contact us (including information about which thesis you're interested in) and we'll see if we can remove the restriction to campus., if you find the thesis in the caltechthesis database, but the link to the pdf says that it is restricted until a specific date, we won't be able to make the thesis available until that date., if the thesis is not available in caltechthesis, please check our library catalog to verify existence of the thesis. we do not generally loan out the print copy of a thesis, so please contact us (including information about which thesis you're interested in) and we'll add that thesis to the queue to be scanned and put online., links & files.

PhD Thesis Defense

Historically, increasing the degrees of freedom in electromagnetic structures has revolutionized the capabilities of wireless systems and introduced new applications. While research on phased arrays has explored everything from antenna drive settings to the element placement, the array geometry is assumed to be a fixed parameter. This presentation summarizes the author's work developing shape-changing phased arrays. It demonstrates the fundamental trade-off between gain and steering range for a given geometry. Measurements of the first shape-changing phased array both verify this theory and demonstrate the ability to break this trade-off using geometric reconfiguration. In addition, the mathematical consequences of shape-change and their impact on the arrays electromagnetic properties are discussed. Programmable passive switching networks on flexible sheets embedded in the array are proposed to address these challenges. The ability of these structures to enhance array performance is demonstrated by in-situ optimization experiments on a demonstration array. Finally, the associated optimization problem is characterized with a statistical analysis on a simulated array.
