It exploits polarization diversity to support more users in spatial diversity scenario when users are very close to each other in terms of their arrival angles. There are six co-located elements in a single Triple-COLD element, which provide six polarization degrees of freedom with space saving. Array weights are determined directly to minimize the bit error rate (BER) using genetic algorithm (GA) alternate to conjugate gradient (CG) method, using adaptive minimum BER approach, for QPSK modulation scheme. GA is capable of approaching the MBER solution at a lower complexity than CG algorithm.","PeriodicalId":273595,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134618838","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}

A vector sensor should measure all 6 components of the electromagnetic field at the same location.

Since the design of a collocated six-dimensional vector sensor is presently a major challenge, we consider a distributed approach for its design. Numerical simulations show that the performance of a distributed vector sensors in a multipath environment is greater than that of classical approaches with scalar arrays.","PeriodicalId":273595,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130992005","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 the latter half of the paper, we introduce a genetic optimization algorithm to design fairly complex composite material textures exhibiting unique field characteristics and dispersion. We conclude by proposing a methodology to design and fabricate metamaterial textures made of commercially available homogeneous ingredients. The automated design process is conjugated by automated fabrication of these designs using advanced material processing techniques such as low temperature co-fired ceramic processing, inkjet material printing, and robo-casting.","PeriodicalId":273595,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132489554","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 main differentiating factor of our new approach is that the receiving antenna is more realistically modelled and also covered by two layers of different dielectric properties. The present paper provides details on the electromagnetic theoretical analysis of the problem and presents numerical results for the electric field distribution inside the head model, using two main operating frequencies, namely 0.5GHz and 1.5GHz for four distinct cases. The focusing optimization of the system in terms of spatial accuracy and penetration depth is assessed while the method and results are also separately validated.","PeriodicalId":273595,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133104891","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}
