A downlink performance of deploying WiMAX (IEEE802.16a) both from High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) and from terrestrial base stations sharing the 3.5GHz band is presented. It is shown how these two wireless communication configurations can coexist with either adjacent or overlaying coverage areas. The performance of each deployment is affected by factors such as transmission power, antenna beamwi...

A newly designed printed slot antenna is presented that incorporates variable two band-notched functions for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The two band notches of this coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed antenna are achieved by an M-shaped slot (MSS) embedded in the radiating element and a C-shaped strip (CSS) close to ground plane, therefore two very narrow rejected properties in the wireless lo...

A compact triple band rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA) for WLAN / WiMAX applications is proposed. The antenna operates at three resonance frequencies 2.4/3.2/3.5GHz Covering the WLAN/ WiMAX operating bands, IEEE WLAN protocol 802.11 b/g employs 2.4 GHz and WiMAX 3.5 GHz. The antenna was studied by means of simulations as well as practical measurements. The Triple band characteristics of an...

WiMAX is the worldwide interoperability for microwave access, to provide business and consumer world wireless broad band services in metropolitan area networks. It has a target range of 31 miles and a target transmission rate exceeding 100 Mbps. Mobile WiMAX is an OFDM based technology for deployment which allows multiple-antenna operations to be performed on vector-flat sub carrier. Fixed WiMA...

Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a new emerging and promising technology as it can accommodate higher data over a large bandwidth. we proposed a Printed Square-shape UWB Antenna With Dual Band-Notched Characteristics. A simple square patch antenna has been fed through a 50 Ω microstrip feedline .A rectangular notch has been etched on the ground plane to reject the interference of WIMAX Band (3GHZ-4.7GHZ...

A novel CPW-fed antenna capable of triple-band operation for WLAN/WiMAX applications is presented and investigated in this paper. The proposed antenna simply consists of three elements viz. folded open stub, L-shaped open stub, and Y-shaped resonator. By using the three elements, triple-band antenna operating at 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz can be achieved. The antenna impedance bandwidths for |S11| ≤ −10 d...

A channel filter has been designed for Digital Down converter (DDC),that meets the standard of WiMAX in wireless communication. WiMAX is a technology emerging in the wireless communication system, in order to enhance the broadband wireless internet access. Digital Up Converter (DUC) and Digital Down Converter (DDC) are integral part of WiMAX system, that results in efficient low cost WiMAX syst...

A study on the design of heterogeneous transceivers using the software radio approach is presented. The objective of the study is to extend the research on software radio towards the design of multi-protocol transceivers which can communicate between two or more heterogeneous wireless access technologies. A critical overview of some of the current multiprotocol software radio devices is present...

A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...
