Simulated results indicate a significant trade-off between reflection coefficient and receiving sensitivity performance, while optimal performance is similar to the other candidate antennas. This antenna might present an advantage in terms of size, but significant challenges remain in the design of a wide band and low loss feeding network.","PeriodicalId":6532,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"371 1","pages":"555-556"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85479234","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 Sequentially Switched Antenna Array Receiver, the array antenna elements fix the receiving point against the travel of the bullet train. In addition, it is necessary to synchronize the switching with the sampling period. We propose a multiple antenna combining scheme that satisfies the requirements for the sequentially switching, and show its effectiveness by computer simulations using experimental data.","PeriodicalId":6532,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"535 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84786593","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}
