In this paper we present and evaluate a method for estimation of in-network performance of mobile terminal antennas developed by the Swedish telecom operator Telia. The Telia Scattered Field Measurement (TSFM) Method is intended to give a better estimate of the performance of the mobile terminal antenna as in an in-network fading scenario. The parameter measured from the TSFM method is referred...

This paper presents the results achieved with a dualpolarized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) measurement system in the 2 GHz range. Results from continuous measurement routes were used in evaluating and comparing different MIMO antenna configurations. Different pattern and polarization diversity possibilities were studied using two methods: elements were selected from the antenna arrays ...

This paper presents the results of a new monopole antenna that exhibits 2.75-10.7 GHz performance. The proposed antenna consists of a radiating patch with notches excited by capacitive coupling feed. Also, the antenna’s truncated ground-plane incorporates a central notch. This modification significantly improves the antenna’s impedance bandwidth by 118% over an ultra-wideband frequency range. T...

A multiplexed Cassegrain reflector antenna with a 2 × 2 open-ended rectangular waveguide (OERW) matrix feed and an orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode mux is proposed for the simultaneous generation of three OAM modes (l = 0, ±1). The OAM mode mux (OMM) was designed using sequential combinations of quadrature hybrids, crossovers, and phase shifters to multiplex and demultiplex three OAM modes a...

Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology has become an integral part of wireless systems nowadays. This technology depends on the use of multiple antenna elements at the mobile terminal as well as the base station. The design of compact printed MIMO antenna systems is a challenging task specially when it is made for small factor mobile terminals. The introduction of MIMO brought with it...

This paper describes the concept, design, and measurement of a multi-band circularly polarized printed slot antenna with a single microstrip feed line. The antenna design for circular polarization (CP) at 1.5 GHz for GPS, 2.4 GHz for Bluetooth, and 3.75GHz for WiMAX application is given. The proposed antenna also provides a fourth linear polarized band over 5.2 to 6 GHz covering the WLAN band. ...

This paper presents a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that rejects narrow and broad bands and is suitable for wireless communications. The base of the proposed antenna has a circular patch that can cover the UWB frequency range (3.1~10.6 GHz). The interference issues caused by co-existence within the UWB operation frequency are overcome by a design that uses a parallel-coupled asymmetric dua...

For most of the weather antenna application, the antenna must be covered with radome to enhance operational efficiency in all weather circumstances. This radome provides environmental protection and along with that it enhances antenna performance. The antenna manufacturer must evaluate radome scattering level so that they can estimate the parameter of cost effective antenna and can provide maxi...

This report presents experimental results on a Multi-User MultiInput Multi-Output (MU-MIMO) channel of an antenna with orthogonal patterns and polarizations in an outdoor urban area. The antenna configuration employing orthogonal patterns and polarizations is useful in achieving a small terminal antenna since many antennas can be placed in the same location. The properties of this antenna are c...
