The Effects of the Use of DRx Antenna Structure on the Rx Performance of Smartphones

Abstract

Receiving the power emitted from the base station by smart phones and providing effective signaling is seen as a very critical problem. In order to eliminate this situation, some antenna technologies have been developed and started to be used in smart devices. The smart phones, which were developed by adhering to the DRx (Diversity Receive) design scheme, best perceived the signals emitted from the base station, thus increasing the Rx performance of the developed products. Typical integrated (total) surface metrics include Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS). TIS and TRP metrics have become increasingly important for carriers, because a TRP measurements used to verify your transmitter or transmitter antenna design. A TIS measurement used to verify how your receiver or receiver antenna design performs. In this study, we aimed to determine the Rx performance of the DRx scheme used in smartphones by using 3D radiation test setup (TIS - Total Isotropic Sensitivity).
