The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) are employed as the parameter to justify the effectiveness of radio coverage. It is seen that the directional beams may provide higher gains, but may not provide a good coverage. A hybrid implementation of omnidirectional and directional radiations may provide a better coverage in terms of communication quality for UE system.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115473542","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}

For the array element, the conventional rectangular dipole is modified to a sector dipole, while the sector dipole is slotted for better matching. The improved sector dipole structure effectively extends the bandwidth of the antenna. The simulation results show that the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is 64.9% (1.55GHz-3.04GHz), the 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth is about 32.9% (1.70GHz-2.37GHz), the gain is 6.44dBic-7.52dBic, and the antenna is RHCP in the AR bandwidth.

Although the small coverage of mmWave communication systems can be extended by beamforming with a large number of antennas, the strong directivity of signals inherited in high-frequency bands makes the mmWave communication systems vulnerable to signal blockage. Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), which is able to change channel propagation characteristics by using a large number of passive elements, will become essential to mitigate the signal blockage in mmWave channels. Most of previous works on the mmWave systems using IRS, however, relied on stochastic channel models and did not consider real-world geometric environments. This paper is to introduce WiThRay (Wireless three-dimensional ray-tracing), a versatile simulator that generates the mmWave channels for 3D rendered geometric environments, where multiple base stations and multiple IRSs can be configured, based on ray-tracing. WiThRay also models the IRS response based on electromagnetics. Using WiThRay, we demonstrate the advantage of the IRS-aided mmWave communication systems in complicated and realistic environments.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114592375","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}
