However, their employment in a planar type wide-band band-pass filter in the millimeter-wave region is problematic because of the poor coupling factors between the resonators and the input/output waveguides. With this in mind, we applied square ceramic resonators to millimeter-wave band-pass filters. From theoretical and experimental investigations, it was confirmed that the coupling factor of the EH/sub 12/spl delta// mode square ceramic resonator is larger than that of circular ceramic resonators. Low-loss band-pass filters with relative bandwidths from 2.5% to 10% were designed and successfully fabricated by using the square ceramic resonators.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

As new functionality is brought into the handset, so new solutions to the receiver circuitry are required to mitigate interference. It is the objective of this paper to demonstrate how effectively a dielectric loaded bifilar helix antenna researched by Sarantel can solved these aforementioned problems. This paper describes an antenna topology that maintains a high cross-polar gain, is very small and is power efficient. The antenna boasts an alignment of electric and magnetic minima as well as a far field minimum directed towards the users head together with balanced electric field loading across a dielectric core. These attributes minimise the near-field electromagnetic energy that is offered to and dissipated in the user.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

To support OHSP, an orthogonal hop set construction method and enhanced synthesizer structures are presented. In each piconet, the master randomly and independently chooses on of five orthogonal sub-hop sets, and informs its decision to all slaves within the same piconet. Simulation results show that under the best combination of sub-hop set selection, OHSP improves system throughput by more than 10% over the original Bluetooth single hop set scheme.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

This paper presents wideband characterization for indoor and outdoor-to-indoor channels and wideband vector channel measurements for an indoor environment. The results show that the coherent bandwidth of about 10 MHz associated with indoor channel can accommodate diversity operations for wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) system. In addition, a study of the envelope cross-correlation points to the feasibility of a smart antenna system. For outdoor-to-indoor channel, the coherence bandwidth indicated that some additional temporal processing would be necessary for a W-CDMA system. Existing narrowband systems, however, would suffice to use simple diversity techniques in such a channel.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003. RAWCON '03.
