Diversity is a powerful technique to mitigate fading, hence multiple antenna diversity which includes; multiple devices, spatial diversity, cooperative diversity which uses multiple-element transmitter arrays enhance performance greatly in modern wireless communication networks. Appropriate combining at the receiver realizes diversity gain. major interest in this write up is the MIMO {Multiple-...

In this paper, we investigate downlink power control in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks with distributed antenna arrays. The base station (BS) in each cell consists of multiple antenna arrays, which are deployed in arbitrary locations within the cell. Due to the spatial separation between antenna arrays, the large-scale propagation effect is different from a user to diffe...

In this paper, we use the shooting and bouncing ray/image (SBR/Image) method to compute the path loss for different outdoor environments in the commercial area of Taipei. Three types of antenna arrays such as L shape, Y shape, and circular shape arrays are used in the base station and their corresponding path loss on several routes in the outdoor environment are calculated. Moreover, the geneti...

In this paper Micro strip Patch Antenna Array are designed and analyzed for WLAN application, which operating at S-band frequency Range of 2.4 GHz. Antenna arrays are used to achieve higher gain. The larger number of antenna elements, the better gain of antenna array is achieved. In this paper feeding element and power divider is used to design the 4 X 1 micro strip patch antenna array. Micro s...

Ultra Wideband (UWB) has a number of applications that make it attractive for a variety of applications such as microwave imaging, wireless communications, ground penetrating radars, remote sensing and phased arrays. This paper offered the design of a tapered slot Vivaldi antenna for ultra-wideband application using FR4 substrate which has relative permittivity of 4.4. The Vivaldi Antenna is de...

We concentrate on an ad hoc network model with nodes on integer lattice points over a 2D plane. We examine the limits of ad hoc network performance for systems with antenna arrays capable of allowing both spatial multiplexing and directional processing. Two cases are considered. In the first case, we consider “perfect” directional antenna arrays, in other words, each node can form beams of infi...

We propose and demonstrate a novel photonic-plasmonic antenna capable of confining electromagnetic radiation at several mid-infrared wavelengths to a single sub-wavelength spot. The structure relies on the coupling between the localized surface plasmon resonance of a bow-tie nanoantenna with the photonic modes of surrounding multi-periodic particle arrays. Far-field measurements of the transmis...
