Design and Development of High Gain Wideband Microstrip Antenna and DGS Filters Using Numerical Experimentation Approach Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktoringenieur (Dr.-Ing.) von MSc. Adel Bedair Abdel-Mooty Abdel-Rahman geb. am 05.08.1968 in Aswan genehmigt durch die Fakultät Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg Gutachter: Prof. Dr. A. S. Omar Prof. Dr. B Michaelis Doc. Ing. J. Machac, DrSc. Promotionskolloquium am 01.06.2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All gratitude is due to “ ALLAH ” who guides me to bring forth to light this thesis. Pursuing Ph.D in Microstrip antennas and DGS compact Microstrip filters is one of the most valuable and exciting experiences in my education. The knowledge I learned and confidence I gained during the study years will be beneficial to my whole life. I am greatly indebted to my supervisor, Prof. Dr.-Ing. A. S. Omar, who takes so much effort and patience in mentoring me to become a qualified researcher. From leading me at the beginning into the Maxwell domain and then step by step to its actual application in Antennas and Filters, to revise my poorly written papers and edited presentations. Prof. Omar gave me direction in every step of my thesis work, while never forgetting trivial details. It is his insight and wide knowledge that guided me to the completion of this thesis work.
