In a previous study, SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) was used for high-definition 3D imaging [2]. However, this approach takes a long time in scanning to realize large virtual aperture. In this paper, we show that 3D imaging can be performed in a short time and with a small number of real elements by using MIMO arrays arranged in a two-dimensional plane. We also evaluate the spatial resolution of the 2D-MIMO array.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"47 7 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":"132603551","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 problem of finding the complex wavenumber (both the phase and/or attenuation constants) of the different modes is posed as a standard linear eigenvalue problem in terms of the transfer matrix of the unit cell. The numerical drawbacks associated with the search of complex solutions in the complex plane are then avoided, thus making the MMTMM a useful tool to analyze and design periodic structures.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"51 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":"134432118","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}

In this regard, a system that uses UAVs (drones) as relay stations to communicate in a line-of-sight (LoS) environment has been studied. In the system, there is a difference in the number of transmitting and receiving antenna elements between the base station and the drone and between the drone and the terminal. In this study, we evaluated the performance of asymmetric LoS-MIMO with a difference in the number of antenna elements between transmission and reception. The effectiveness of asymmetric LoS-MIMO was demonstrated by comparing the channel capacity pertaining to the distance between the transmitter and receiver based on the conventional symmetric LoS-MIMO with an equal number of antenna elements.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"1 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":"130354416","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 antenna utilized LTCC material (Dielectric constant 5.8, Dielectric loss 0.002@28GHz) was developed for high frequencies such as millimeter wave. Each polarization antenna was designed by log-periodic antenna, which is an End-Fire type antenna that radiates from the side wall of a substrate. These antenna elements were miniaturized by higher dielectric constant of LTCC material. From the results of simulation, it was confirmed that each polarization antenna for 5G application made by LTCC had broadband property. After that, the array antennas were designed based on these antennas (each 4 antennas). From this investigation, size of array antenna could be small (21.9 x 6.8 x t2.2mm).
