Achievable sum‐rate analysis of correlated two‐antenna MIMO uplink channels

This paper analyzes the achievable sum‐rate of correlated two‐antenna multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) uplink channels. Most of previous works have considered the case when a single user has multiple transmit antennas (i.e. multi‐antenna single‐user scenario). This paper considers the case when two‐antenna MIMO uplink channels comprise two users with a single transmit antenna (i.e. single‐antenna two‐user scenario). The analytic and simulation results show that the achievable sum‐rate of correlated single‐antenna two‐user MIMO uplink channels highly depends on the angle difference between the receive correlation coefficients of two users. It is also shown that the achievable sum‐rate of correlated single‐antenna two‐user MIMO uplink channels is larger than that of correlated two‐antenna single‐user MIMO uplink channels and can even be larger than that of independent and identically distributed Rayleigh two‐antenna MIMO uplink channels.

Dual-band planar inverted F antenna for GSM/DCS mobile phones

A compact dual-band planar inverted F antenna suitable for the application as a global system for mobile communication/digital communication system (GSM/DCS) dual-band mobile phone internal antenna is proposed and implemented. The proposed antenna has three resonant elements, two meandered metallic strips of slightly different lengths and one nearly-rectangular patch, which are printed on a supporting FR4 substrate and arranged in a compact configuration. These three resonant elements share a common shorting pin, and for the GSM (890-960 MHz) operation, the proposed antenna is operated with the two meandered strips both resonated as a quarter-wavelength structure, leading to a wide bandwidth formed by two resonant modes. For the upper band of the proposed antenna, three resonant modes are generated, two from the second higher-order modes of the two meandered strips and one from the nearly-rectangular patch, leading to a wide bandwidth covering the DCS band (1710-1880 MHz). The antenna design and experimental results are presented.

Research on dual-polarized circular waveguide antenna fed by L-shaped probes

This paper researched a kind of dual-polarized and cylindrical waveguide antenna fed by two L-shaped probes at the antenna bottom. The designed antenna was composed of two orthogonal L-shaped coaxial probes and a cylindrical waveguide cavity. The two orthogonal field structures were excited and the dual-polarized radiation mode was formed. The feeding cables of two polarization ports went through the bottom of the cylindrical cavity and were connected with the microwave adaptors. The bottom feeding structure was suitable to constitute a planar antenna array. The electromagnetic simulation and optimization design of the proposed antenna were carried out by using the full wave electromagnetic simulation technique, and the simulation results showed that the isolation between two polarization ports were more than 20 dB within the frequency range of 4.8–5.4 GHz. At the center frequency, the cross-polarization levels of radiation pattern were lower than −21 dB at the boresights and the beam width of radiation patterns at E-plane and H-plane were more than 70° for two polarization ports. The designed antenna in this paper was fabricated and measured. The measurement results indicated that the designed antenna achieved anticipated radiation performances and design effectiveness of the dual-polarized antenna in this paper was proved. The dual-polarized and cylindrical waveguide antenna is suitable for some application fields such as dual-polarized array radar. The research results in this paper can provide a technical basis for the practical engineering application.     

Two-stage Parany monopole antenna with triangular complements

A new multiband and broadband antenna based on the traditional fractal equilateral Parany monopole is presented. In general, Parany and Sierpinski monopoles are resonant, log-periodic and multi-band antennas. For example, a traditional two-stage Parany monopole antenna provides three bandwidths. In this Letter, the input impedance behaviour of this antenna is improved by adding two conductor triangles to a traditional two-stage Parany monopole and eliminating two connections between the conductor triangles that shape such an antenna. For VSWR<3, the resultant fractal two-stage Parany monopole antenna with triangular complements shows bandwidth improvements compared to the traditional two-stage Parany monopole antenna. Good agreement between simulated and measured results was observed.

Single-Fed Microstrip Patch Antenna With Switchable Polarization

A single-fed reconfigurable microstrip antenna that can provide various polarization diversities is presented in this paper. The antenna is excited by a microstrip feed line through aperture coupling. When two PIN diodes are used to respectively reconfigure the coupling slot and the open stub of the feed line, the polarization of the microstrip antenna can be switched between vertical and horizontal polarizations. For the reconfigurable antenna with the linear polarization diversity, it can be converted to a circularly-polarized antenna with switchable polarization sense by introducing a perturbation segment. Moreover, an antenna with the quadri-polarization diversity, including dual orthogonal linear polarizations and two circular polarizations, is also developed from the structure of the switchable circular polarization microstrip antenna, and only three diodes are required. Details of the antenna design are shown, and the measured results for the constructed prototype are also exhibited and discussed.     

Reconfigurable Beam‐Steering Antenna Using Dipole and Loop Combined Structure for Wearable Applications

This paper proposes a reconfigurable beam‐steering antenna using a bended dipole and a loop. The radiation patterns of the two antennas are cancelled or compensated, and headed towards a specific direction when the dipole and loop antenna are combined at a reasonable ratio. The proposed antenna can steer the beam directions by controlling the operation of two artificial switches. The proposed antenna was manufactured on a PCB (FR‐4) and a flexible PCB (polyimide). In the case of the antenna that was fabricated on a PCB, the maximum beam directions were +50°, 0°, and –50° in the azimuth direction using the two artificial switches, and the antenna gain was 1.96 dBi to 2.48 dBi in the operation bandwidth of 2.47 GHz to 2.53 GHz. Also, the antenna was fabricated on a flexible PCB and measured under various bending conditions for wearable applications.     

Analysis of W-slot loaded patch antenna for dualband operation

In the present paper W-slot loaded single and two dielectric layers microstrip patch antenna has been analysed using equivalent circuit concept. The antenna shows dual resonance. The resonance frequency of single layer patch is found to be 2.91 GHz and 3.88 GHz which increases for two layers dielectric antenna up to 4.17 GHz and 5.78 GHz respectively. The frequency ratio is found to be 1.33 for single layer patch antenna and 1.38 for two layers patch antenna. In general the frequency ratio is found to depend on slot length, slot width and slot angle. The bandwidth of single layer patch antenna is found to be 1.71% and 1.68% for lower and upper resonance frequency while it increases for two layers up to 5.28% and 2.77%. The theoretical results are compared with the simulated results obtained from IE3D and both are in close agreement.
