In this paper, we report the results of an experiment at Sendai airport in Japan to evaluate the AeroMACS. Our base station covers the approximately 3km×1km rectangular airport surface with a transmitter power of 1W. A BER (Bit Error Rate) of less than 10-6 is required at the physical layer in order to realize reliable data communication systems. However, measurement of the BER is difficult especially in field experiments because another data link is required to inform the receiver of the correct transmitted symbols. Therefore, we calculate the relationship between EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) and BER by computer simulation, then translate the EVM which is measured in the experiment into BER. The results show that 64QAM-3/4 can be used with a BER of less than 10-6 in 64.3% of the LOS (Line Of Sights) area and 64QAM cannot be used in almost all NLOS (Non Line Of Sights) areas at Sendai airport.","PeriodicalId":337951,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Workshop on Antenna Technology: Small Antennas, Novel EM Structures and Materials, and Applications (iWAT)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124392550","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 compact crossed dipole is realized with the use of a meander line and a barbed end in each dipole arm. A vacant-quarter printed ring is used as a 90° phase delay line to achieve circularly polarized radiation. For multi-band applications, each dipole arm is divided into multi-branches with different lengths to obtain multiple resonances. These radiators can be equipped with different reflectors, such as a finite planar metallic conductor, a cavity-backed metallic conductor, and a finite artificial magnetic conductor to obtain the desired antenna radiation characteristics. These antennas are quite practical for many wireless communication systems, such as satellite communications, global positioning systems, wireless local area networks, and radio-frequency identification devices.","PeriodicalId":337951,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Workshop on Antenna Technology: Small Antennas, Novel EM Structures and Materials, and Applications (iWAT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124605964","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}
