In this paper, we studied the compact MIMO(: Multi-Input Multi-Output) antenna for multi-beam pattern generation and control in narrow space. The characteristics and performance of the basic Dipole SPA and Monopole SPA structures are shown. We implemented a monopole SPA antenna and measured its performance in an 802.11g system. When the average transmission rate was measured using the SPA antenna, the SPA antenna improved the best performance by 8.7 times compared to commercial antenna.

This paper presents a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) flexible monopole antenna design on a paper substrate. The proposed antenna is made of iterations of a circular slot inside an octagonal metallic patch. This fractal-based geometry has been deployed to achieve compactness along with improved bandwidth, measured reflection coefficient -10 dB bandwidth ranging from 2.7 to 15.8 GHz. The overall size of the antenna is $26mm{\times}19mm{\times}0.5mm$, which makes it a compact one. The substrate used is paper and the main features like environment friendly, flexibility, green electronics applications and low cost of fabrication are the key factors for the proposed antenna. The aforementioned UWB prototype is suitable for many wireless communication systems such as WiMAX, WiFi, RFID and WSN applications. Antenna has been tested for the effect of bending by placing it over a curved surface of a very small radius of 10 mm.

Intensive researches on multiuser-based Massive MIMO are performed to increase the spectral efficiency. Although the Massive MIMO scheme based on huge number of antennas inevitably causes hardware and computational complexity in baseband and radio frequency (RF) elements, the problem can be mitigated without serious performance degradation by limiting the number of baseband and RF elements below the number of transmit antennas of base station and opportunistically selecting transmit antennas according to channel states. Accordingly, this paper proposes a simple antenna selection scheme for multiuser-based Massive MIMO systems.

This paper presents the development of a tracking algorithm for shipborad satellite antenna systems which can enhance the tracking performance. In order to overcome some drawbacks of the conventional step tracking algorithm a new tracking algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm searches for the best tracking angles using gradient-based formulae and signal intensities measured according to a search pattern. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation using real data.

In this paper, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance for uplink communication of WiBro system when smart antenna technology is employed. It is shown that, by exploiting beamforming technology, smart antenna-based WiBro system shows improved performance by more than 4 dB in SNR compared to single input single output (SISO) system under one-path Rayhleigh fading channel condition.

This paper presents a unique and miniaturized dual-band coplanar waveguide (CPW-fed) antenna for modern wireless communication. A new technique of using a modified ground structure (MGS) and frequency shifting strips (FSS) has been employed in the design to achieve dual-frequency operation. The proposed antenna generates two separate impedance bandwidths and covers the minimum required frequency bands of GSM 1800, GSM 1900, and Wi-Fi/WLAN 5 GHz. The proposed antenna is relatively small ($17{\times}20mm^2$) and operates over frequency ranges 1.51~2.06 and 4.43~6.70 GHz. The designed antenna was simulated using Ansoft HFSS, a FEM based simulator, and antenna characteristics, such as reflection coefficient, gain, radiation efficiency, radiation pattern, impedance bandwidth, VSWR, surface current, and electric field distributions, are reported in this paper. The effect of the antenna's key structural parameters on its performance is also analyzed.

This paper proposes robust source localization methods for estimating the azimuth angle, elevation angle, velocity, and range using a low-complexity planar antenna array in impulsive non-Gaussian noise environments. The proposed robust source localization methods for wireless communication applications are based on nonlinear M-estimation provided from Huber and Hampel. Simulation results show the robustness performance of the proposed robust methods in impulsive non-Gaussian noise.

In this paper, we present a novel methodology for a wideband HTS antenna of finite length placed on a dielectric substrate. A methodology used in this work is based on a moment-method techniques with Green function singularity when the field point is in the source triangle. The designed resonance frequency of our HTS antenna is 11.85 GHz. The return loss is -26 dB. The bandwidth obtained is a significant 10.6 %. Experimental measurements for a HTS antenna designed in X-band are shown to agree well with the simulated prediction.

The tracking antenna system must be always pointed to a satellite for data link among moving vehicles. Especially, for an antenna mounted on a moving vehicle, it needs the stabilized the antenna system. So, software and hardware, signal processing of motion detection sensors, real-time processing of vehicle dynamics, trajectory estimation of satellite, antenna servo mechanism, and tracking algorithm, are unified in the antenna system. The purpose of this paper is to design the embedded tracking antenna control system for satellite communication. The embedded OS(Operating System) based stabilization and tracking algorithm was implemented. The performance of the designed embedded control system was verified by the real satellite communication test.
