Optimal Antenna Positioning for Wireless Board-To-Board Communication Using a Butler Matrix Beamforming Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
For wireless board-to-board communication the problem of an optimal positioning of antenna arrays on two boards facing each other is described, where each antenna array uses the same kind of Butler matrix beamforming network. We discuss possible design criteria for the positioning problem. To obtain a position with both a high response and a low pathloss for as many as possible links we introduce a corresponding optimization problem and show how it can be solved.

متن کاملNode selection optimization for collaborative beamforming in wireless sensor networks
The communication distance and the energy of the nodes are limited in large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Collaborative beamforming is an effective way to solve such problem. However, the distribution of node location is not uniform, which leads to poor performance of the mainlobe and causes the high sidelobe level (SLL). This paper presents a novel collaborative communication method b...
