The thesis deals with the investigation of the concept of a broadly tunable self-oscillating antenna (antenna-transmitter). Such an antenna is based on immittance conversion of a first electromagnetic (EM) radiator into its 'negative image'. This ‘negative image’ is further connected to a second, identical EM radiator, creating a frequency agile self-oscillating system. Expected application of such an antenna system is related to future self-oscillating reflective metasurfaces. The basic electronic circuit used in described self-oscillating antenna is a negative impedance converter (NIC). Therefore, NIC’s behaviour in the case of both ideal and realistic active elements, as well as EM radiators, is analysed both analytically and numerically...
