The paper introduces two newly developed smart antennas, ESPAR antenna and ESMB antenna, for mobile wireless computing terminals and mobile stations. The configurations of these smart mobile terminal antennas at the operating frequency approximately over 2.4GHz are illustrated and the applications of using these smart antennas at mobile computing terminals and mobile stations are proposed. The ...

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...

The classic Shannon-Hartley law suggests that the achievable channel capacity increases logarithmically with the transmit power. By contrast, the MIMO capacity increases linearly with the number of transmit antennas, provided that the number of receive antennas is equal to the number of transmit antennas. With the further proviso that the total transmit power is increased proportionately to the...

The study of microstrip patch antennas has made great progress in recent years. Compared with conventional antennas, microstrip patch antennas have more advantages and better prospects. They are lighter in weight, low volume, low cost, low profile, smaller in dimension and ease of fabrication and conformity. Moreover, the microstrip patch antennas can provide dual and circular polarizations, du...
