In this context, multipath propagation is exploited, as the individual received signals can be seen as different instances of the same physical phenomenon (i.e. transmission and reception of WCDMA sequences). As results indicate, the deployment of PCA technique in MIMO-WCDMA networks can significantly reduce the number of active channels that need to be fed back to the transmitter. In particular, for 10/20/30 active users and six multipath components, the mean number of estimated channels that are necessary for appropriate signal reception are 4.2/3.88/3.89 for a Signal to Noise Ratio equal to 6 dB.","PeriodicalId":272122,"journal":{"name":"2014 Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference (LAPC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116962196","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}

It exploits two models of the array under design: an array factor-based model and a simulation-based surrogate model. The former produces an initial design. The latter is used for tuning of the array radiation response as well as for validation of the final design. The simulation-based model is constructed as a superposition of simulated responses of the array under design. Low computational costs are ensured by coarse-mesh simulations. Suitable correction is carried out with respect to the high-fidelity array model. This correction is iteratively performed in the optimization process. Our technique is demonstrated with radiation response synthesis of linear arrays comprising thirty two microstrip patch antennas by phase-spacing optimization.","PeriodicalId":272122,"journal":{"name":"2014 Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference (LAPC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117183474","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}

Time of Arrival data fusion and peak detection techniques have been used to compute the position of the target node in terms of x, y, z cartesian coordinates. The antennas are envisioned to be employed in a pulse based time-of-flight motion tracking system, using the upper end of the UWB band.

This paper suggests the use of change in antenna return loss caused by electromagnetic coupling with nearby object as an indicator for object existence. The antenna itself will act as sensor for nearby metallic object, therefore any distortion in received signal strength due to the object can be identified.

They invoke the principle that resonance-fields balanced across a dielectric medium occupy less volume than they would in equivalent air-loaded antennas. It has also been shown that circular-polarization discrimination is important for accurate position determination using GNSS systems in multi-path environments such as may exist in modern cites. The paper proceeds to analyze the more general benefits of circular-polarization discrimination in respect of the spatial capacity of MIMO systems. Damping of reflections from the device, caused by body-loading, reduces radiation efficiency but has been shown to actually improve circular-polarization discrimination between antennas of this type. Circular/elliptical polarization can be seen as always resulting from superposition of sources of differing static dipole direction and phase separation. Therefore such discrimination presents an opportunity to exploit linear independence of cross-polar summations which occur in close proximity to each other. Finally the paper considers the manufacturability of such antennas and describes some advances that have been made at Maruwa Co Ltd.","PeriodicalId":272122,"journal":{"name":"2014 Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference (LAPC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130023452","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}
