The role of leaky waves in explaining the operation of Fabry-Pérot resonant cavity antennas is discussed. Leaky-wave theory allows for the design of such structure to achieve the optimum beam at broadside. Simple formulas for the relevant properties of the antennas such as the beamwidth and bandwidth are also given.

Beam port and multiplexing radiation efficiencies of a multi-beam antenna employing a decoupling and matching feeding network was investigated. The multiplexing efficiency is useful to evaluate the band width characteristics of the multi-beam antenna for MIMO applications. Excitation coefficients of the multi-beam antenna was also studied to consider the relation to the bandwidth characteristics of the radiation efficiency.

Received signal level measurements are frequently used to check the performance and the Quality of Service (QOS) coverage area in cellular networks. These expensive time consuming measurements are carried out using an actual drive tests to assess the coverage area of a base station for a given cell and thus evaluate the QOS. In this paper, the novelty of the proposed electromagnetic analysis technique lies in its ability to match the macro model based simulation and measurement results without any statistical or empirical curve fitting or an adhoc choice of a reference distance. Furthermore, a new concept called proper route has been introduced to enhance the quality of measured data. The input parameters for the electromagnetic macro model can be generated using only the physical parameters of the environment like the height of the transmitting and receiving antennas over the ground, their tilts toward the ground, and the electrical parameters of the ground. A method of moments-based integral equation solver code called AWAS has been used to simulate the effects of the macro parameters of the environment. Measurements were carried out for cellular networks in western India and Srilanka.

This paper presents a slot-loaded half-width microstrip leaky-wave antenna (MLWA) for fixed-frequency beam scanning. Digital switches are used in the design for controlling the beam direction at a fixed-frequency. Dynamically changing the `On' and `Off' states of the switches, the main beam of the antenna is steered in discrete steps. Addition of slots in the microstrip line results in shifting of the scanning range away from broadside. Operation of the antenna is demonstrated for selected frequencies. This research demonstrates the ability to steer the main beam from 23° to 60° at 6.5 GHz and 46° to 70° at 7 GHz, in discrete steps.

An overview of design goals and approaches to the design of MIMO antennas for mobile terminals is presented. Figures of Merit (FOMs) for multiport antennas are derived based on consideration of transmit mode and receive mode for the Downlink - Transmit Diversity scheme and the Closed-loop Spatial Multiplexing (CL-SM) scheme of LTE. Total multiport efficiency and imbalance figure are identified as the most relevant FOMs. A systematic design approach by which the radiation modes of a multiport antenna are derived from the characteristic modes of the device's chassis are presented. Some aspects of this approach are illustrated by example.

This paper presents a new broadband antenna for satellite communications. It describes the procedure involved in the design of a microstrip antenna array and its multi-level passive feed network that together yield circular polarization and the necessary gain to be used in an earth-satellite link. The designed antenna is notable for its large bandwidth, circular polarization, high gain and small dimensions.

In this paper, we present several antenna-array topologies for quadrature spatial combining: In-phase and Quadrature signals are not anymore combined at the circuit level but rather spatially in free space. To demonstrate the feasibility of this concept, an organic module with two 4×1 antenna-arrays is fabricated and measured in V-band. Reflection coefficient and realized gain measurements are very promising.

This paper presents the use of a commercially available radio scanner for characterizing on-vehicle 2×2 Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas. The scanner measures the LTE eNodeB, i.e. the cell base station, reference signals and each channel and determines the MIMO channel matrices from which the downlink throughput can be determined. For a given LTE radio, this measurement approach can be very useful for efficient comparison between MIMO antennas or among different antenna locations on the vehicle.

In this paper, a method is developed to evaluate the reliability of active RFID tags immersed in water. This situation exists in particular when infants wearing anti-rapt tag take bath. This study discusses the effects on the electromagnetic radiation of an emitting tag plunged into a water volume and then proposes a statistical method to predict the radio coverage of the immersed tag. Finally it demonstrates that the RFID technology is barely affected by this issue even though other RFID technologies do not support immersion.
