Isolation enhancement between tightly spaced compact unidirectional patch‐antennas on multilayer EBG surfaces

In this article, ultracompact unidirectional patch antennas are used in different two‐antenna systems for biomedical applications at 5.2 GHz. Multilayer mushroom type electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures are designed as slow‐wave medium to reduce the size of the individual patch antennas to 0.1λ₀ by 0.18λ₀. Various techniques are investigated herein to improve antenna isolation for an enhanced Multiple‐Input Multiple‐Output (MIMO) performance. First, the coupling between 0.3λ₀‐spaced antennas is verified to occur dominantly through radiation and near‐field coupling between the patches rather than through substrate‐bound modes. Second, various configurations are proposed to suppress antenna coupling. These approaches include reorientation of the antennas and employment of parasitic radiators between the patches. A novel design is presented in which a unidirectional parasitic slot radiator on an EBG reflector is inserted between the antennas to decouple them. Measurement results confirm efficacy of these approaches in mitigating antenna coupling by more than 11 dB in the operating bandwidth of the antennas. The compact patch antennas maintain efficiency values of higher than 70%. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 25:30–38, 2015.

Multilayered substrate integrated waveguide 4 × 4 butler matrix

In this article, a multilayered substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) Butler matrix beam‐forming network is proposed, designed, and demonstrated at 24 GHz for automotive radar system applications. The proposed low‐cost SIW structure can be used to develop a highly integrated multibeam antenna platform in automotive radar systems and other applications. In this structure, an SIW H‐plane coupler is optimized with an H‐plane slit to provide the required phase shift. A class of SIW E‐plane 3‐dB couplers in doubled layer substrate are studied and designed as the fundamental building blocks to avoid crossovers usually required in the construction of a Butler matrix. A 4 × 4 matrix is investigated and designed, which shows excellent performance over 22–26 GHz frequency band. Two types of antenna are tested with the proposed matrix scheme. First, an antipodal linearly tapered slot antenna (ALTSA) is incorporated into the Butler matrix to verify the broadband performances. Second, a longitudinal slotted waveguide antenna array is examined to generate radiation patterns in the broadside direction. Measured results agree well with simulated counterparts, thus validating the proposed multilayer SIW design concepts. In the next sections, the use as feeding networks for providing the reconfigurability operation of an antenna will be illustrated. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

面向MIMO多跳无线网络的多用户视频传输优化方法

MIMO(multi-input multi-output)作为一种有效提高无线信道可靠性和带宽的新兴技术,已在无线网络中得到广泛应用.但是,如何利用MIMO在多跳无线网络中为多用户提供高质量视频服务,尚未得到广泛关注.多跳无线链路之间的共信道干扰是需要解决的关键问题.提出一种面向多跳无线网络的多用户视频传输方法,利用链路选择、MIMO的空间复用和空间分集等特点,减少链路间的共信道干扰,最大化多用户的平均视频传输质量.通过对链路选择和天线分组进行建模,将上述传输策略抽象成一个最优化问题,该问题是一个NP-hard问题.为了降低求解复杂度,引入遗传算法来求解链路选择问题.该算法采用基因遗传“优胜劣汰”的特性,在保证性能的同时,大幅度降低了求解复杂度.另外,由于遗传算法中每条“染色体”的“优劣”与天线分组策略有关,因此结合可伸缩视频的失真模型,将天线分组问题转化为一个标准的0/1背包问题,并在搜索时采用深度优先和分支限界技术,进一步降低算法复杂度.实验结果表明,所提出的链路选择算法和天线分组算法均能显著提高用户接收视频的质量.
