In traditional smart antennas, the beamforming is realized by means of phase shifts between several excited antennas constituting the network. The proposed smart antenna excites only one element and the beam switching is realized by exciting the antennas at different frequencies. Following the analytical presentation, both numerical and experimental results are given and discussed.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122645831","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 causes an attenuation of received power and frequency selective spectrum distortion. In this paper, we describe an array antenna system with analog phase shifter that has the robustness for the multi-path distortion. The proposed array antenna system is low cost and is not complex in the control circuit. We evaluate the error rate performance of OFDM system using our array antenna system by the computer simulation and the experimental measurement in indoor wireless LAN system. The computer simulation uses the channel frequency response based on the result from ray tracing. We specify our array antenna system only controls the direction of carioid beam pattern, and we compare our system performance with the performance of antenna selective diversity. The indoor experimental results show our system has better packet error performance with small footprint.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125110013","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 four major key structural parameters of this antenna including the additional parameter h3 were optimized for the dual-band operation in Japan using the efficient parallel Method of Moment based on the 16 parallel PC cluster system. The bandwidth of 340 MHz for 2.4 GHz band and that of 480 MHz for 5 GHz band have been obtained after the structural parameter optimization. Also, the RF current on the metallic plate was evaluated in order to confirm the validity of the proposed antenna with balanced-fed. Finally, the optimized antenna configuration was evaluated experimentally. The measurement results demonstrate the bandwidths of 246 MHz for 2.4 GHz band and 325 MHz for 5 GHz band, which are sufficiently wide for the assigned frequency bands for the 2.4 GHz WLAN system and the 5 GHz indoor W LAN system in Japan.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125728550","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 UWB technologies have been developed to exploit a substantially new spectrum resource and to realize ultra high-speed communication, high precision radar, and other sensing systems. The antenna has UWB approximately in range of 1 MHz to 20 GHz and its performance above 20 GHz is sensitive to the gap position in the ground plane. These gap positions enhance some modes and weaken others, which have been used to control the antenna bandwidths up to 31.4 %. The proposed antenna is constructed on ground plane of thickness 0.1 mm and FR-4 epoxy substrate of thickness 1.6 mm with relative permittivity 4.4. The radiation characteristics for the designed antenna such as return loss, input impedance, near field, radiation pattern and 3D-polar radiation pattern with respect to changes on the air gap position in the ground plane are obtained using numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124990705","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 formulas presented are of interest since they allow a direct calculation of the potential in a given region under any Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions.
