On-glass mobile antenna performance modelling

Evaluating Mobile Antenna Performance

This paper reviews a method of evaluating the performance of mobile antennas that uses the theoretical expressions, proposed by the author, of the "Mean Effective Gain (MEG)" and the correlation coefficient between antenna diversity branches. Furthermore, the "Cross polarization Power Ratio (XPR)" measurement method, the directional statistical model of wave arrival in azimuth, and a simple met...

Statistical antenna modelling

The present work is a “concept paper”, addressing the non traditional idea that antenna properties embedded in their device casing and under the perturbing influence of close objects or bodies, may be statistically described. The benefit of this approach is similar to other statistical descriptions of the radio link such as the radio channel, intending to provide a more realistic description of...

Effect of Antenna Performance on the

The effect of antenna performance on the carrier phase measurement accuracy is described. The antenna performance characteristics in the presence of multipath are analyzed in terms of an antenna Axial Ratio and an antenna Noise Figure. In this analysis, the multipath is assumed to originate from a single point located on a perfectly conducting ground. The analysis focuses on the carrier phase s...

On the User Equipment Antenna Performance

In this paper the explicit (“obvious”) relation between mean effective gain of an antenna and its radiation efficiency has been pointed out. Introduction The user equipment (UE) is a vital element in UMTS networks which performance has a critical bearing on the overall system performance. In fact UE exhibiting poor performance will have a negative effect on the link quality, giving rise not onl...
