It consists in the development of simulation software based on an iterative method. The iterative method is developed from the fast modal transform on a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. The method has been applied to the characterization and the modeling of patch antennas with notches in microstrip and coplanar technology and the quarter wavelength directive coupler. The obtained results are very powerful and successfully compared to others methods in term of time and reliability of convergence and particularly the accuracy of the results obtained in comparison with previous works.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114928693","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 loss of sub channel orthogonality leads to inter-carrier interference (ICI). Using many algorithms for channel estimation, we will show that, for a 16- QAM modulation, the LMMSE algorithm performs well to achieve this estimation but when the SNR (Signal Noise Rate) is high, the three algorithms (LS, LMMSE and Lr-LMMSE) performs similarly. The challenge in this paper is that we will demonstrate that the LMMSE algorithm performs well with the block pilot insertion and is not suitable just with comb pilot insertion.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115413261","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 finite element method characterizes waves in the arbitrarily shaped discontinuities and the total response of the circuit is obtained by applying the modified multimodal variational formulation. The size of the scattering matrix of the total circuit depends only on the number of accessible modes in the beginning and the end of the overall structure. This feature makes the computation time of our hybrid method independent from distances between discontinuities of the circuit. The proposed hybrid method is successfully applied to the full-wave analysis of filters with great practical interest (i.e., multimode filters), thus improving computation time and memory storage against several full-wave finite element method based computer aided design tools.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121901918","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}

Miniaturization of RF circuit technology has resulted in the need for miniaturized antennas. Meander line antennas are widely used in applications where compactness and miniaturization are key objectives. Although this antenna has been widely used, yet no simple analytical model except those using complicated numerical techniques is available. In this paper, we present a simple analytical model to calculate the resonant frequency of the antenna employing a lumped equivalent circuit model. Circuit response of a typical meander line antenna using our model has been compared with simulated antenna response using Method of Moments based simulator IE3D with good agreement, thereby validating our approach.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132771275","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}
