The antenna, for the first time, is designed and fabricated on the MC package format to realize the integrated on-chip level circuit package antenna. Besides economical advantage of mass production and automatic assembly, the proposed design on MC material has potential benefit to the system-level board miniaturization and system-level manufacturing facility.","PeriodicalId":178493,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126809869","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}

By properly adjusting the dimensions of the inserted slot, the proposed antenna revealed good UWB performance i.e. impedance bandwidth of 3 - 10 GHz with VSWR <; 2, accompanied by a band-rejection function (5.1 - 5.8 GHz) in order to avoid interference caused from the IEEE 802.11a band. Time domain response shows that the proposed structure exhibits a minimal and constant group delay (except for notch band) as needed for UWB application.

The integral equation method is employed for characterizing the transmitters/receivers and determining radiation patterns of receiving antennas in the presence of dielectric objects. The image based ray-tracing technique is used for modeling the interaction between transmitters and receivers within a given cabin. The developed hybrid algorithm has been validated by comparing the simulated results with those obtained by commercial software or measurement data. Good agreement is observed.
