That assumption allowed us to say that the current in the antenna was independent of position along the antenna, depending only on time: I(t) = I0 cos(t) no z dependence! For longer antennas, this is no longer true.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This paper introduces a network-assisted interference suppression scheme using beam-tilt switching per frame for wireless local area network systems and its effectiveness in an actual indoor environment. In the proposed scheme, two access points simultaneously transmit to their own desired station by adjusting angle of beam-tilt including transmit power assisted from network server for the improvement of system throughput. In the conventional researches, it is widely known that beam-tilt is effective for ICI suppression in the outdoor scenario. However, the indoor effectiveness of beam-tilt for ICI suppression has not yet been indicated from the experimental evaluation. Thus, this paper indicates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by analyzing multiple-input multiple- output channel matrices from experimental measurements in an office environment.

Abstract: In this work transformation electromagnetics/optics (TE/TO) were employed to realize a non-homogeneous, anisotropic material-embedded beam-steerer using both a single antenna element and an antenna array without phase control circuitry. Initially, through theory and validation with numerical simulations it is shown that beam-steering can be achieved in an arbitrary direction by enclosing a single antenna element within the transformation media. Then, this was followed by an array with fixed voltages and equal phases enclosed by transformation media. This enclosed array was scanned, and the proposed theory was validated through numerical simulations. Further- more, through full-wave simulations it was shown that a horizontal dipole antenna embedded in a metamaterial can be designed such that the horizontal dipole performs identically to a vertical Citation: Mitra, D.; Dev, S.; Allen, dipole in free-space. Similarly, it was also shown that a material-embedded horizontal dipole array M.S.; Allen, J.W.; Braaten, B.D.

  • Performance Analysis of MIMO Spatial Multiplexing Using Different Antenna Configurations and Modulation Technique in Rician Channel Hardeep Singh, Lavish Kansal
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June-2014 34 ISSN 2229-5518 Performance Analysis of MIMO Spatial Multiplexing using different Antenna Configurations and Modulation Technique in Rician Channel Hardeep Singh, Lavish Kansal Abstract— MIMO systems which employs multiple antennas at the transmitter as well as at the receiver side is the key technique to be employed in next generation wireless communication systems. MIMO systems provide various benefits such as Spatial Diversity, Spatial Multiplexing to improve the system performance. In this paper the MIMO SM system is analysed for different antenna configurations (2×2, 3×3, 4×4) in Rician channel. The performance of the MIMO SM system is investigated for higher order modulation schemes (M-PSK, M-QAM) and Zero Forcing equalizer is employed at the receiving side. The simulation results points that if antenna configurations are shifted from 2×2 to 3×3 configuration, an improvement of 0 to 2.9 db in SNR is being noted and an improvement of 0 to 2.9 db is visualized if antenna configurations are changed from 3×3 to 4×4 configuration.

Abstract—The design concept is discussed for slotted UHF antennas to be located on the side of the tower, then the coverage needs of that allows the combining of a high power NTSC channel with an the station must be reviewed prior to making a decision on the adjacent DTV channel assignment using a single transmission line antenna type.

I. INTRODUCTION 1.10 or UHF channels in the United States, slotted antenna 1.09 designs are typically used [1]. A primary factor in their use F 1.08 has been the ability to make the support structure of the antenna an integral part of the transmitting components. Because the 1.07 frequencies assigned to UHF allow the use of relatively small 1.06 antenna elements, the removal of part of the pipe wall to create 1.05 slots was possible with only a minimal impact an its structural VSWR integrity. This resulted in an antenna with low wind-load 1.04 characteristics and was relatively economical to fabricate. 1.03 As television markets expanded, demographics changed 1.02 and competitive pressures fostered the need for UHF stations to increase their coverage. This required higher effective radiated 1.01 1.00 powers (ERP). And as higher power transmitters came to 572 574 576 578 580 582 584 market, other benefits unique to the slotted antenna design Frequency (MHz) became evident: exceptional reliability even at extremely high Figure 1: Dual Channel Antenna VSWR input power levels and more precise control over the shaping of the elevation pattern.

Antenna plays a crucial role in this communication system, which is used to transmit and receive the data. The classification of the antenna is based on the specifications like frequency, polarization, radiation, etc. In this we will observe some important point about microwave antenna in communication network, relay stations, transmission system, interconnection cable and inter-operations performing as an integrated whole. KEYWORDS: Microwave Antenna, Types of Antenna, Properties of Antenna, Applications of Antenna. I. INTRODUCTION The main purpose of this research to help people know many things about microwave antenna use in communication system. Microwaves are widely used for point-to-point communications because their small wavelength allows conveniently-sized antennas to direct them in narrow beams, which can be pointed directly at the receiving antenna. This allows nearby microwave equipment to use the same frequencies without interfering with each other, as lower frequency radio waves do.
