Channel capacities and data rates of mobile communications have been increasing to meet demands of modern communications. In order to achieve a low bit error rate (BER), we need high signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). To realize the high SINR, it is effective to use an adaptive array antenna [1]. The adaptive array antenna can reduce the influence of multipath rays. On the other ha...

A double-negative metamaterial-inspired antenna is presented for mobile wireless applications. The antenna consists of a semi-circular radiating patch and a 3 × 4 hexagonal shaped metamaterial unit cell array in the ground plane. The antenna is fed with a 50 Ω microstrip feed line. The electric dimensions of the proposed antenna are 0.20λ × 0.26λ × 0.004λ, at the low-end frequency. The proposed...

In our application targeted here, four on-glass antenna elements are set in an automobile to improve the reception quality of mobile ISDB-T receiver. With regard to the directional characteristics of each antenna, we propose and implement a joint Pre-FFT adaptive array antenna and Post-FFT space diversity combining (AAA-SDC) scheme for mobile ISDB-T receiver. By applying a joint hardware and so...

Nowadays, the knowledge of science and technology, especially in the field of mobile satellite communication is developing hugely and rapidly. It is included the development of the ground station antenna as transceiver signal to make a good conducted communication between the satellite and terminal station at the earth. Moreover, as geostationary satellites are remotely located (about 36,000 km...

In this paper, the authors propose a circularly polarized printed antenna combining a slot array antenna and a patch antenna, with dual-band operation. The proposed antenna has good isolation performance, is compact, and has simple configuration. This antenna is composed of two parts, a patch antenna (for Rx) on the top, and a slot array antenna (for Tx) on the bottom, respectively. The element...

An analysis of MIMO antenna system in the development of LTE (Long Term Evolution) terminal and the compensation of user’s induced loss is presented in this paper. MIMO wireless systems have antenna arrays at both the transmitter and receiver terminals. Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology has been regarded as a practical approach to achieve significant increase of wireless channel ...

Radio resources must be wisely managed, in wireless communication systems, when implementing different multiple access techniques. This perspective is pivotal since the variations in propagation channel are very fast and the system is highly complex due to random and unpredictable movement of mobile users continuously. The complexity in the cellular system periodically contributes to different ...

Mobile communication networks face ever-increasing demands on their spectrum and infrastructure resources. Increased minutes of use, capacity-intensive data applications and the steady growth of worldwide mobile subscribers means that carriers will have to find effective ways to accommodate increased wireless traffic in their networks. Thus, the smart antennas system becomes capable to locate a...

The problem of meeting the proliferating demands for mobile telephony within the confinements of the limited radio spectrum allocated to these services is addressed. A multiple beam adaptive basestation antenna is proposed as a major system component in an attempt to solve this problem. This novel approach is demonstrated here by employing an antenna array capable of resolving the angular distr...
