In response to these demands, mobile satellite communication system is the key solution to provide high speed multimedia services in high speed train. Nowadays the high speed portable system has been developed for example WiMAX, Wibro and so on. But these system can't provide high speed internet services because of the train speed. To figure out this problem, mobile satellite communication fits this environment. And mobile satellite communication system can play in a role of backhaul for WiMAX or Wibro system. But there is disadvantage in mobile satellite communication system, signal may suffer shadowing, power arche, trees and tunnels. Shadowing, power arches and trees degrades the network performance, it can be overcomed by use of packet FEC. But it is difficult to provide internet service in tunnel. To figure out this problem, we adopt the gap filler system which relay from/to satellite to/from terminal in tunnel. In this paper we introduce and compare the various types of gap filler, transparent and non-transparent types and finally how our gap filler system is configured.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128957297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantum dots, when used as light sources, offer unique advantages. It is therefore possible to develop new devices based solely on this property of SAQD based light sources. Before SAQD light sources could be used, however, improvements must be made on their emission spectra, which is rather broad (approximately 24 THz in our case) due to inhomogeneous broadening in SAQD energy levels. The purpose of this work is to theoretically investigate interactions between a photonic crystal and a light source placed into a central defect cavity. The photonic crystal serves to confine lateral propagation of light, which in turn interacts strongly with the central cavity and modifies emission characteristics of the light source.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125965646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several broadband antenna structures have been proposed and studied, such as using a thick substrate with low permittivity and a multi-resonator structure. Another method to enhance the impedance bandwidth is using slot antennas instead of the microstrip antennas. In this paper, a new CP design developed from the ring slot antenna is proposed. The antenna structure composed of a wide slot and a parasitic patch is with wideband characteristics. By adjusting the distance between the wide respectively, which are obviously higher than that of a same-size microstrip antenna. Also, the CP designs of wide slot antennas have been investigated to further improve the CP bandwidth. By protruding a T-shaped [3] or an L-shaped strip [4] from the ground plane, the CP bandwidth of the wide slot antenna can reach to 18 %. However, the available designs for the slot antenna with more than 20 % CP bandwidth are relatively few in the open articles. In this paper, a new CP design developed from the ring slot antenna is proposed. The antenna structure composed of a wide slot and a parasitic patch is with wideband characteristics. By adjusting the distance between the wide slot and parasitic patch, the CP bandwidth can be varied between 5 and 45%. Details of the proposed designs and the obtained results are shown and discussed.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"319 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115361828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve higher throughput, IEEE802.11n was proposed and is now undergoing standardization. The MIMO-OFDM technique, which employs multiple antennas for transmission and reception, is the core technology for IEEE802.11n (Foshini and Gans, 1998). This technique requires estimation of channel state information (CSI) on the receiving side. Using the technique called adaptive MIMO-OFDM (Telatar, 1999) in which CSI is applied to both the transmitting and receiving sides, an even higher throughput is achieved. To achieve the maximum performance from adaptive MIMO-OFDM, we must accurately estimate the CSI for all the subcarriers; however, numerous calculations are needed to obtain this estimation. So, to actualize the adaptive MIMO-OFDM system, the calculation load must be decreased. This can be accomplished by applying one CSI to other subcarriers. However, channel error exists between the actual channel and the applied CSI. The channel error also plays a role in decreasing the communications quality (Medard, 2000). The communications quality when using the adaptive MIMO-OFDM technique that has CSI error was evaluated by simulation (Narula et al., 1998). However, there are few measurement evaluation reports on CSI error. This paper focuses on the ratio between the power of the eigenvalue and the interference power that suppresses the communication quality based on the measurement results. We propose an empirical formula for predicting the signal to interference ratio (SIR), which is the ratio between the power of the eigenvalue and the interference power. This SIR empirical formula helps to predict the communication quality and simplify the simulation.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115640192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the antenna's effect on MIMO system has been investigated intensively, in order to predict the true spectral efficiencies of MIMO systems in a real environment whereby realistic mobile terminals are used. Separation between multiple antenna elements is the most critical parameter affecting mutual coupling. Analytical studies have shown that for minimal or no mutual coupling, the distance between typical antenna elements needs to be at least half wavelength. However, the large separation between antenna elements is not attainable on a mobile terminal. There are a number of suggestions on how to build diversity antennas on a mobile terminal with low mutual coupling. In this context, we have developed a modified planar invert-F antenna (PIFA) and built a dual element array operating in 5.2GHz band with a separation of less than half wavelength (0.35 wavelength) and an isolation better than 28dB, as presented in our previous studies. It is noticed that mutual coupling depends on the frequency of received/transmitted signals since the distance is expressed in terms of the wavelength. Therefore, a dual-element diversity PIFA operating at the lower frequency (2.5GHz band) with an even closer separation (0.17 wavelength) has been studied in this paper.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123123402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Wilkinson power divider was invented in 1960 and has wide applications in microwave circuits and antenna feeds. But it has a narrow bandwidth. Several schemes have been devised to increase its bandwidth. The main proposal used series connection of several sections having considerably increased bandwidth and high isolation between outputs for equal power divider. We use connection of three sections to obtain the UWB Wilkinson power divider. It is well known that the DGS of the microstrip line is implemented by making artificial defect on the ground and the ground defect provides a resonance property in transfer characteristic. In the microstrip line, DGS on the ground plane provides band rejection characteristic at some resonance frequency corresponding to the size of defect on the ground. In this paper, band-notch characteristic is achieved by inserting a symmetric spiral DGS under the microstrip line of the power divider. Experimental results of the constructed prototype are presented.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124399357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
