Channel capacity of dual-element modified PIFA array on small mobile terminal
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study on the MIMO channel capacity of a modified dual-element planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) array is presented. The dual-element PIFA array consists of two modified PIFAs which are mounted on a small mobile terminal operating at 2.5 GHz. The relationship between mutual coupling and channel capacity is analysed by comparing the modified dual-element PIFA array with a conventional dual-element PIFA array and two ideal dipoles.

Varactor tuned printed planar inverted-F antennas (PIFA) are investigated. The low-profile printed antennas are fabricated together with the layouts of its DC control circuits and other RF/baseband circuit footprints. A surface mounted (SMT) varactor is applied as a frequency-tuning element at the middle of the long radiating arm in PIFA. Passive lumped DC bias circuits are implemented with goo...
متن کاملPractical dual-helical antenna array for diversity/MIMO receiving antennas on mobile handsets
A practical, small-size, dual-helical antenna array mounted on a mobile handset model is designed for use as diversity/MIMO receiving antennas. The array is rigorously studied with respect to its diversity performance and the achievable channel capacity. It is found that a very low correlation coefficient, a high diversity gain, an equal-mean branch SNR, and a relatively matched input impedance...
