Dr James Kelly
Biography
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Microwave Antennas within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and a member of the Institute for Communication Systems (ICS) at the University of Surrey. I joined the University of Surrey in October 2013. Before this I was a Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England. From 2007 to 2012 I worked as a research fellow/associate at Loughborough University, as well as the Universities of Birmingham, Durham, and Sheffield.
I have approximately 2.5 years of industry experience. From 1999 to 2000, I worked for the International Rail Vehicle Consultancy, Interfleet Technology. During 2001 and 2012, respectively I worked within the Rolls-Royce Strategic Research Centre and at Airbus Defence and Space Ltd (then EADS Astrium).
I received the Master's degree in electronic and electrical engineering (2002) and the Ph.D. degree in microwave filters (2007) from Loughborough University, Leicestershire, England.
I have published over 80 academic papers in peer reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. In 2009 I delivered the key note speech at an IET seminar in London. The topic of the seminar was “Adaptable and tunable antenna technology for handsets and mobile computing products”. I also co-chaired a session on adaptive antennas for software defined radio during the 2009 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, in Toronto, Canada.
I am a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society. I frequently act as a referee for various international journal publications, including the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, and the IET Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation.

prototype of an innovative mechanical beam steering circular
patch antenna for 5G indoor cellular access networks with sub6
GHz operation. The beam steering is achieved using 18 screws
installed around the circular patch radiator, working as a
reflector by proper managing the screws position and height.
The new antenna can steer its main beam over 360º in azimuth
plane and from -30º to 30º in the elevation plane with gain up to
8.01 dBi at 4.6 GHz.
device that can be reconfigured to behave either as a filter or an
antenna. The device is based around a single resonant element,
referred to as a building block element that is connected to 4
ports. The resonant element is a microstrip square patch
working in the 2.45 GHz unlicensed Industrial Scientific and
Medical (ISM) band used for IEEE 802.11 WiFi. The proposed
building block is simple in its design and construction. The paper
also presents devices composed of three building blocks, which
can realize more complex filtering and antenna mode
performance. In addition, PIN diodes have also been
incorporated into the devices in order to facilitate electronic
control. Measured results, pertaining to fabricated prototypes,
show that filter and antenna operation can be achieved, in the
same device at a frequency of around 2.45 GHz with acceptable
insertion loss and efficiency. In the future, it is anticipated that
this could lead to a new paradigm, namely a device that is
analogous to a field programmable gate array (FPGA) operating
in the microwave frequency regime.
for a high gain millimeter wave beam steerable antenna that
supports continuous steering over a 360° scan range and
promises to yield extremely low power losses. The concept does
not require phase shifters which suffer from high insertion
losses at millimeter wave frequencies or mechanical movement,
in the conventional sense, which has the disadvantages of poor
reliability and slow response times due to high inertia.
are investigated in this thesis. The millimetre wave frequency spectrum
has recently attracted large attention from researchers and the industry of wireless communications.
Millimetre wave frequencies is considered to be the frequency spectrum
between 30 GHz and 300 GHz. However, the industry considers the spectrum above 10
GHz as millimetre wave, due to the fact that it shows similar propagation characteristics
with the spectrum above 30 GHz. The aforementioned spectrum of frequencies
offers a lot of advantages compared to lower frequency spectrum, due to the fact that
it offers large and mostly unexploited bandwidths. The need for very high data rates,
in future wireless communications, increases the need for bandwidth. Millimetre wave
frequencies can be used to fulfill future bandwidth demands.
Although millimeter wave frequencies offer several advantages and good potential for
future wireless communications, they also impose several challenges. This thesis discusses
the need for highly directive and beam reconfigurable antennas for such high
frequencies. It also discusses how an antenna design can benefit from being circularly
polarised for several wireless communication applications and how antennas for future
wireless communications must be able to reconfigure several parameters, without compromising
the performance, cost and size, giving the
exibility to a wireless terminal
to operate in several different modes.
This thesis proposes novel reconfigurable antennas for portable devices, which can be
used at millimetre wave frequencies, and which offer high gain, wide steering range, low
scan loss and multi-parameter reconfigurability; essential characteristics that antennas
designed for future wireless communications should offer.
designing and fabricating a set of 28 GHz 8-element beam steerable antennas. Within the feed, a
Taylor n-bar amplitude taper is implemented using unequal power dividers. At boresight, the taper
reduced the sidelobe level by 2.84 dB to -15.2 dB. Beam steering from 0° ? 48° is achieved using
meanders. An empirical formula for the meander widths is proposed, enabling independent control of
amplitude and phase. Empirical formulae for the initial parameters of the unequal dividers are also
proposed. The wide transmission lines in this feed network are compatible with low-cost PCB
fabrication techniques.
