Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the development of promising technologies for compact antennas for high data-rate communications. It discusses and analyzes the design of compact ultra-wideband (UWB) and multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antennas, providing essential know-how for designers, practicing engineers and scientists. These wireless communication technologies enable consumers to have convenient access to a wide range of services – anytime, anywhere. And the introduction of wireless mobile access points eliminates the limitations to communication imposed by geographical location. The Internet has allowed people to access and share information much more rapidly, but in order to achieve higher data rates with the limited available resources and imposed constraints, wireless communication technology needs to be pushed beyond the physical limits of the propagation channel. This book contributes to achieving this goal.

Download or read book Multiple input Multiple output Antennas for Ultra Wideband Communications written by Ali Imran Najam and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UWB technology has rapidly emerged in the areas of WPAN and sensors networks featuring high data rate communications. The applications of UWB are limited to very short-range communications due to the extremely low transmitted power. The combination of MIMO techniques with UWB has been considered as a solution to improve the range. However, a fundamental challenge arises for the design of antennas that faces the constraints offered by UWB systems and multi-antennas systems, and the constraints of size and cost. In this context, several new UWB-MIMO antennas are proposed. Their characterization is based on the parameters relevant to conventional antenna design and the specific parameters relevant to the UWB-MIMO antenna design. In particular, a new compact design with high isolation by inserting the inverted-Y shaped stub on the ground plane is proposed. A new method for modelling the mutual coupling, is also introduced which has the advantage of offering new approach to compensate it.

Download or read book Analysis and Modeling of Multiple Antennas in Ultra Wideband written by Raffaele D'Errico and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a wireless communication technology that employs a huge bandwidth, typically from hundreds of MHz up to several GHz. Research activities in UWB have experienced a continuous growth over the past decade. It is well known that, in traditional narrow-band communications, multiple antenna systems offer attractive aspects in wireless communications by means of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques, that either give out high channel capacities through spatial multiplexing, or offer an increase of link robustness, by taking advantage of antenna diversity at both ends of the link. A large number of scientific contributions have been published in the last years on UWB communications and narrow-band multiple antenna systems (MAS), but the literature on UWB combined with multiple antennas is still poor, especially on electromagnetic aspects. One of the most challenging issues is size reduction of the MAS. In practical applications, arrays should be compact in order to be incorporated in radio devices. Obviously, by reducing the single antenna size or the inter-antennas distance, it is possible to minimize the overall system dimension. On the other hand, the mutual coupling increases for closely spaced sensors, which can detrimentally modify the system performance. Thus, radiation, and distortion characteristics of the single radiator are altered because of the presence of other antennas. In this thesis we address the issue of the UWB multiple antenna design and assessment, by highlighting the influence of the interaction between close radiators, and by modelling it. In Chapter 1 we present an overview of UWB technology, by focusing on the main aspects of the physical layer. In chapter 2 we present a variety of single UWB antenna designs. We focus on the major features of UWB antenna characterization and the influence of antenna distortion. These antennas will be employed as single element composing the multiple antenna system in the subsequent work. In chapter 3 we present a UWB multiple antenna measurement campaign carried out in a anechoic chamber. The aim is to characterize UWB multiple antennas for different array topologies, inter-elements distances and single element designs. In chapter 4 we present a general method based on the definition of a scattering coefficient to predict the effects of the passive radiators within the multiple antenna system. The method has the advantage to avoid the use of a full electromagnetic simulation (or measurement) of the array. Moreover a statistical model of the scattering within UWB multiple antennas is introduced and presented for a class of UWB monopoles. The model is based on poles extraction of the scattering coefficient by means of the Generalized Matrix Pencil method. In chapter 5 we present a UWB channel measurement campaign in the 2-10 GHz band intended to quantitatively evaluate the improvements obtained through multiple antennas in UWB systems. To this aim an analysis of antenna diversity with previously characterized arrays is presented with emphasis on the differences between virtual real interacting compact arrays. The impact of the signal bandwidth on spatial multiplexing in the case of pulse based physical layer schemes, in the measured multiple antenna channels. This work has been carried out at ENSTA-Paris Tech and the University of Bologna, in the scope of the European FP6 project PULSERS Phase II.

Download or read book UWB MIMO Antenna with Band Notched Characteristics for Portable Wireless Systems written by Chandrasekhar Rao Jetti and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current and future wireless communication systems demand for higher data rates, enhanced quality of service and more channel capacity. Since Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated the unlicensed frequency spectrum from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz for commercial applications in the year 2002, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology has attained considerable attention because of its inherent features like high data rate, more channel capacity, extremely less power consumption and low cost. However, for UWB systems, multipath fading and frequency interference are the two significant issues that requires further investigation. In recent times, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology has gained much attention in wireless communication as it exploits multipath to increase the communication range and link quality. Thus, MIMO technology is a promising solution for mitigating multipath fading in UWB system. However, accommodating multiple antennas with less mutual coupling between them in portable devices is always a challenging task for antenna designers. UWB system could easily interfere with existing narrowband communication system such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). So, the design of an ultra-wideband antenna with integrated frequency notching function is a good solution to suppress the frequency interference and to reduce the complexity of the UWB system instead of using a conventional filter. In this chapter, compact isolation-enhanced planar UWB-MIMO antenna with single band-notched characteristics is presented.
