Increasing Demand

Nowadays, the fifth generation (5G) wireless system is extensively studied to fulfill the continuously increasing demand for high data rate and mobility in wireless communication applications. Thus, to cope with this demand, various researches are required for front-end microwave components, which includes power divider. Therefore, in this article, the design and analysis of ultra wideband T-shaped power divider is presented. Two substrates are chosen in the design, which are Rogers RO4003C and TMM4 with copper thickness of 17 µm and 35 µm to analyze their effect towards ultra wideband performance of the designed power divider. The design and analysis are performed by using CST Microwave Studio. The optimal performance of the designed power divider is subjected to dielectric material and the copper thickness of the substrate. Where, the best design is obtained using TMM4 substrate that made of ceramic thermoset polymer with 35 µm copper thickness.

Increasing Demand

There has been increasing demand for accessible radio spectrum with the rapid development of mobile wireless devices and applications. For example, a GHz of spectrum is needed for fifth-generation (5G) cellular communication, but the avail- able spectrum below 6 GHz cannot meet such requirements. Fortunately, spectrum at higher frequencies, in particular, millimeter-wave bands, can be utilized through phased-array analog beamforming to provide access to large amounts of spectrum. However, the gain provided by a phased array is frequency dependent in the wideband system, an effect called beam squint. We examine the nature of beam squint and develop convenient models with a uniform linear array. To further simplify the evaluation of the system performance, an approximated closed-form expression for the array gain is derived. Furthermore, to evaluate the performance of the proposed design, rigorous numerical results concerning different system parameters are provided in this paper.

Impulse Radio - Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) is a wireless technology system that offers a high data rate within a short range. Therefore, IR-UWB system is regarded as an excellent physical layer solution to the multi-piconet Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) applications. In spite of all the advantages of IR-UWB, there are several fundamental and practical challenges that need to be carefully addressed. The big and most important one among these challenges is the interference. Two types of Rake receivers are designed and simulated to highly mitigate the MUI these are (PRake receiver) and (SRake receiver).

AbstractAt present, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in communication systems, and the fifth-generation wireless system (5G) has further promoted the vigorous development of them. The trajectory planning of UAV is an important factor that affects the timeliness and completion of missions, especially in scenarios such as emergency communications and post-disaster rescue. In this paper, we consider an emergency communication network where a UAV aims to achieve complete coverage of potential underlaying device-to-device (D2D) users. Trajectory planning issues are grouped into clustering and supplementary phases for optimization. Aiming at trajectory length and sum throughput, two trajectory planning algorithms based on K-means are proposed, respectively. In addition, in order to balance sum throughput with trajectory length, we present a joint evaluation index. Then relying on this index, a third trajectory optimization algorithm is further proposed. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed algorithms which have advantages over the well-known benchmark scheme in terms of trajectory length and sum throughput.

AbstractA compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is presented in this paper with a partial ground plane on epoxy woven glass material. The study is discussed to comprehend the effects of various design parameters with explicit parametric analyses. The overall antenna dimension is 0.22×0.26×0.016 λ. A prototype is made on epoxide woven glass fabric dielectric material of 1.6 mm thickness. The measured results point out that the reported antenna belongs to a wide bandwidth comprehending from 3 GHz to more than 11 GHz with VSWR<2. It has a peak gain of 5.52 dBi, where 3.98 dBi is the average gain. Nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns are observed within the operating frequency bands. A good term exists between simulation and measurement results, which lead the reported antenna to be an appropriate candidate for UWB applications.

A dual channel microwave Doppler-Sensor-Module for 24 GHz is presented. This front end is well suited for true ground speed and distance measurements in all kinds of automotive applications. The microwave components such as oscillator, mixer, antenna and their characteristics in the MIC are discussed. The influence of the antenna pattern and the road surface on the Doppler spectrum is treated in a 3D-field theoretical simulation. This simulation takes the antenna nearfield and the distributed scattering of the road into account.

Abstract This study presents an ultra-wideband receiver front-end, designed for a reconfigurable frequency modulated continuous wave radar in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. A variety of innovative circuit components and design techniques were employed to achieve the ultra-wide bandwidth, low noise figure (NF), good linearity, and circuit ruggedness to high input power levels. The designed front-end is capable of achieving 1.5–40 GHz bandwidth, 30 dB conversion gain, a double sideband NF of 6–10.7 dB, input return loss better than 7.5 dB and an input referred 1 dB compression point of −23 dBm. The front-end withstands continuous wave power levels of at least 25 and 20 dBm at low band and high band inputs respectively. At 3 V supply voltage, the DC power consumption amounts to 302 mW when the low band is active and 352 mW for the high band case, whereas the total IC size is $3.08\, {\rm nm{^2}}$ .
