Since EM fields are important for human health and electronic systems' safety, shielding materials are becoming of great interest. Different types of electromagnetic isolation materials have been developed. These are commonly based on copper, nickel, ferrite, etc., or their composites. However they are not optimum for public use due to their cost, installation conditions, advantages in daily life. A new material is proposed for electromagnetic shielding for public use. It is not only effective against the electromagnetic fields radiated from base station antennas, but also provides thermal isolation and sound attenuation in buildings. The proposed material is a 2 to 5 cm thick sandwich like panel whose substrate consists of a polyurethane or phenolic material, with both sides covered by smooth or embossed aluminium foil or polyester, with thickness of 28 /spl mu/m to 200 /spl mu/m. The effectiveness of the material has been measured using different indoor-outdoor antennas.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"221 1","pages":"475-476"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79012182","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}

We propose a novel approach to enhancing its multiband performance, in terms of impedance matching characteristics as well as radiation patterns, at three operating frequencies. The second design combines a rectangular microstrip patch with a cylindrical dielectric resonator, and operates at multiple frequencies. Specifically, we describe a stacked configuration of a dielectric resonator antenna on a microstrip patch for three frequency bands. Circular polarization is obtained by utilizing four coaxial feeds in phase quadrature. This configuration is found to exhibit good cross-polarisation rejection characteristics.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"112 1","pages":"273-274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79714450","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 a code division multiple access (CDMA) system, multiple access interference (MAI) coupled with the near-far problem is one of the major factors limiting system performance. To overcome these issues, various multiuser detection schemes have been proposed. The complexity of the multiuser detection schemes is important, especially when they are adopted in a multicarrier DS/CDMA system which employs lots of subcarriers. Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is relatively simpler than other multiuser detection schemes when used in a multicarrier CDMA system because it does not require separate channel estimation for each of the subcarriers. A SIC scheme based on order statistics is proposed and analyzed for a multicarrier CDMA system over a Rayleigh fading channel. The SIC scheme is employed for each subcarrier, and the subcarrier signals, after interference cancellation, are combined through maximal-ratio or equal-gain combining techniques. The effect of imperfect interference cancellation is also investigated. From the numerical results, it is shown that the proposed system achieves significant performance improvement over a conventional multicarrier CDMA system. The proposed system is robust to MAI and the near-far problem, which translates to a significant increase in system capacity.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"103-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75198903","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}
