Frequency-selective loading for a transmitting active integrated antenna

Active Integrated Antenna Design for UWB Applications

UWB technology is advancing rapidly because of its potential to have high data rates and very low radiation power. In recent years UWB technology has been used in the areas of, sensing, radar and military communications [1]. In February 2002, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States issued a report that UWB could be used for wireless data Communications [2]. Since then, ...

A New Architecture for AlGaN/GaN HEMT Frequency Doubler Using Active Integrated Antenna Design Approach

This paper presents a new architecture for an AlGaN/GaN HEMT frequency doubler using the active integrated antenna design approach. A microstrip patch antenna designed at the second harmonic is integrated with the HEMT. The antenna operates as a fundamental frequency reflector in this circuit. Using AlGaN/GaN with 1mm gate periphery, a 4 8 GHz frequency doubler was designed by the suggested des...

Active Integrated Oscillator Antenna Using Microstrip-T Coupled Patch Antenna

Power loading for CP-OFDM over frequency-selective fading channels

In this paper we compare cyclic prefix (CP) based single and multicarrier block transmission schemes in frequencyselective fading channels. Analytical comparison shows that at moderate-to-high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the uncoded error rate performance of multicarrier transmission is inferior to that of single carrier. We propose new minimum bit error rate (MBER) power loading algorithms fo...

Active Integrated Antenna (AIA) system for wireless communication

In this paper, an active integrated antenna (AIA) system is proposed for mobile and wireless communication devices. The AIA system consists of a microstrip patch antenna and a low noise amplifier (LNA), which are integrated together with a matching circuit and printed on an FR4 PCB circuit board. The system is designed, analyzed, and optimized by targeting to satisfy the design specifications f...
