Potential properties of curvilinear antenna arrays for MIMO technology implementations

Abstract

Potential Properties of a curved antenna array for MIMO Technology Implementations are given in the paper. The antenna elements are arranged along a circle arc and an ellipse arc. The expressions for the equivalent aperture of the antenna array are obtained. The analysis of radiation characteristics for different types and orientations of the antenna elements are carried out. The values of the amplitude to excite the antenna elements on the basis of the genetic algorithm are obtained.
