Dual-frequency offset transreflector antennas

Dual-Frequency Patch Antennas

Dual-hequency patch antennas may provide an alternative to large-bandwidth planar antennas, in applications in which large bandwidth is really needed for operating at two separate transmitreceive bands. When the two operating frequencies are far apart, a dual-frequency patch structure can be conceived to avoid the use of separate antennas. In this paper, a critical overview of possible solution...

Small dual-frequency microstrip antennas

The characteristics of a dual-frequency compact antenna, which uses a rectangular microstrip patch with a shorting pin, are studied. Compared with the conventional rectangular patch antenna, this antenna can achieve both a significant reduction of antenna size and a dual-frequency operation with a single feed. A detailed parameter study is performed. The theoretical analysis is based on the fin...

Joint carrier frequency offset and channel estimation for OFDM systems with two receive antennas

Carrier frequency offset (CFO) in OFDM systems results in loss of channel orthogonality and hence degrades the system’s performance. In this paper, we propose a new method for joint CFO/channel estimation for OFDM systems with two receive antennas. Our method avoids the complexity of full search methods in one or two dimensions. Using one training OFDM symbol and utilizing the knowledge of the ...

Blind Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for OFDM System with Multiple Antennas using Multiple-invariance Properties

In this paper, we address the problem of carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communications systems with multiple antennas. We reconstruct the received signal to form data model with multiinvariance property, and subsequently derive a multiple-invariance ESPRIT algorithm for CFO estimation. This algorithm has improved CFO estimation co...
