Design and development of high gain wideband microstrip antenna and DGS filters using numerical experimentation approach

i 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. 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. Due to his broad research interests, he gave me the opportunity to explore many interesting antennas, low-pass and band-pass filters. kindly agreeing to be referees for this thesis in spite of their hectic schedules. for his interest in Microstrip antennas and filters and helpful discussion even face to face or by e-mail. Great of thanks and very deep appreciation to Assist Prof. G. Kirov for his guide and deeply discussion in antennas.
