Optimal antenna configurations for the BIMA Array

Design of Antenna Array Configurations for Space-Time Adaptive Processing

It is known that the output performance of a conventional adaptive antenna system is greatly influenced by its antenna array configuration. Such a conclusion holds true to space-time adaptive processing (STAP) systems of mobile communications, where receiving signals consist of the superimposed multipath rays with delay spread and angle spread. It is considered that the associated system perfor...

Design of Optimal Antenna Array for Mobile Communication

This paper presents the design of an optimal microstrip patch antenna array for use with handheld units. The Array consists of two elements. Design structure, size and performance parameters of the antenna elements/array are optimized. This antenna array can provide good properties required for personal handy phones. It has wide bandwidth with steerable radiation pattern and can adjust its patt...

Phased array antenna using MEMS phase shifter

This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...
