Summary of results in the field of small element antenna arrays for mobile communication systems

Abstract

Development of the theory and technology of the small element antenna arrays is one of the research areas of the Department of Technical Electromagnetics and Radio communication Systems since 2006. The research is focused on the improvement of the mobile communication systems. Curvilinear antenna arrays are proposed that comprise antenna elements with controllable polarization of radiation, which are located along the ellipse arc. The potential emitting properties of such antenna arrays have been estimated. The adaptive beamforming algorithm with the necessary directional characteristics and controllable polarization of radiation is presented.
