Antenna Design for Switched-Beam Systems on Mobile Terminal
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a small switched-beam antenna for mobile terminal. This kind of antenna is a single compact slot antenna fed by microstrip line. This proposed antenna provides three different radiation patterns. The antenna is designed to cover 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS; 1.922.17 GHz). Its advantage is small of size and easy to manufacture. The performance of proposed antenna is confirmed by both simulation and experimental results. In addition, the antenna is also tested under real environment to see its real performance in terms of signal strength and throughput. The obtained results show that it provides higher signal strength and throughput over the use of omni-directional antenna as currently employed in mobile terminal.

In this paper, a 4 × 4 Butler matrix (BM) switched-beam patch antenna array is designed and discussed. The design is developed on a single layer of Rogers material; RO 5880 with dielectric constant 2.2 and thickness 0.254mm.This makes the designed antenna low cost and easy of fabrication. The four rectangular patches fed by inset microstrip lines are connected to the outputs of the BM. The resu...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna
Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions. In this structure, the antenna beam can be placed in any point in the space by mechanical movement of twist reflector which it is the most important ability of the antenna. Due to the antenna structure, if the polarization of incident wave is linear, it is expected that the p...

A four column Smart antenna array fed by a 4x4 Butler matrix augmented by a variable beam shaping network has been designed and simulated. It is demonstrated that using only three phase shifters within the beam shaping network provides dynamic beam flexibility including: four narrow switched beams, a right shaped beam, a left shaped beam and a broad broadcast channel beam. The shaped beams conc...
