In this paper, a technique based on hybrid particle swarm optimiser with breeding and subpopulation is presented for optimal design of reconfigurable dual-beam linear array antennas and planar arrays. In the amplitudephase synthesis, the design of a reconfigurable dual-pattern antenna array is based on finding a common amplitude distribution that can generate either a pencil or sector beam powe...

In this paper, a hybrid dual-band cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna with parasitic slot fed by a microstrip line that is suitable for wireless body area network is proposed. In this configuration, the dielectric resonator performs the functions of an effective radiator along with the feeding structure and the slot in the ground plane. By optimizing the structural parameters, the antenna ...

This paper is concerned with asymptotic diversity analysis for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO systems. First, for a single-user mmWave system employing distributed antenna subarray architecture in which the transmitter and receiver consist of Kt and Kr subarrays, respectively, a diversity gain theorem is established when the numbers of antennas at subarrays go to infinity. Specifically, ...

Communications using the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of radio waves have attracted much attention in recent years. In this paper, a novel millimeter-wave dual OAM mode antenna is cleverly designed, using which a 60 GHz wireless communication link with two separate OAM channels is experimentally demonstrated. The main body of the dual OAM antenna is a traveling-wave ring resonator using two f...

Directional distributed co-ordination function (D-DCF), a modified medium access control protocol of IEEE 802.11, is proposed to support hybrid antennas such as smart adaptive array antennas and normal omni-directional antennas, in one wireless local area network cell. Nodes equipped with smart antennas follow D-DCF and nodes equipped with normal antennas follow DCF. D-DCF based on a hybrid vir...

a new multiple c- slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed.  a patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. microstrip patch antenna consist of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. the patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made by conducting material copper or gold. this paper presents design of a c- slotted ...

In this paper a new effective optimization algorithm called hybrid particle swarm optimizer with breeding and subpopulation is presented. This algorithm is essentially, as PSO and GA, a population-based heuristic search technique, now in use for the optimization of electromagnetic structures, modeled on the concepts of natural selection and evolution (GA) but also based on cultural and social r...

In recent years, a multi-antenna system is actively used to improve the performance of the communication. A MIMO-OFDM system can provide multiplexing gain or diversity gain. These gains are obtained in proportion to the increase of the number of antennas. In order to provide the optimal gain of the MIMO-OFDM system, various transmission and reception schemes are presented. This paper aims to pr...

The U-slot micro-strip patch antennas were originally developed for bandwidth broadening applications. This study presents a transmission line feed to modify the U-slot stacked rectangular micro-strip patch antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communications. The modified antenna has a U-cut loaded with parallel slits and corner slots and is printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4 with relative p...
