Multi–Antenna Techniques for Millimetre–Wave Radios

Millimetre-wave InP antenna for monolithic integration

Introduction: Millimetre-wave fibre wireless applications [1] could profit from a small antenna that can be fully integrated with the microwave and optical components of the system. This can lead to smaller and more cost-effective fibre-fed antenna units. Active integrated antennas [2] are another application that could benefit from a directly integrated antenna. Printed antennas are the obviou...

Dual Band Slotted Patch Antenna for On/Off-body Communication

Body Centric Wireless Communication (BCWC) has been topic of much research in recent years. In this manuscript, a novel low-cost microstrip patch antenna is designed for on-/off-body communication with a dual-band operation. The proposed structure exhibits a monopole-like radiation pattern at 2.45 GHz and a broadside radiation at 4.8 GHz, simultaneously. Lateral dimensions of 42 mm × 46 mm and ...

Adaptive Antenna Arrays for Ad-Hoc Millimetre-Wave Wireless Communications

New technologies that employ millimetre-wave frequency bands to achieve high speed wireless links are gaining more attention (Dyadyuk et. al., 2007, 2009b, 2010a; Hirata et. al., 2006; Lockie & Peck, 2009; Kasugi et. al., 2009; Wells, 2009) due to increasing demand for wideband wireless communications. Very wide uncongested spectrum is available in the E—bands (71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz) recently...

High Gain Conformal Tri Band Antenna

In this paper, a tri-band E-shaped microstrip patch antenna is presented for SHF and microwave data links. The proposed antenna has symmetrical properties and has been designed by forming E-shape structure on substrate with Wave guide feed. It radiates for three bands having two bands in SHF and one in lower EHF frequency bands. It is demonstrated that the fabricated antenna offers improved val...
