A new dual-broadband printed dipole antenna for base station applications is proposed in this communication. This antenna has three different dipoles with the same feed point and an extra parasitic strip. The two arms of the three dipoles are printed on opposite sides of the substrate and symmetrical on the centerline, but the parasitic strip at the end of the dipole is just put on one side. Besides, a U-shaped reflector is designed at the bottom of the antenna to realize good radiation characteristics in the working frequency. The simulated and measured results show good agreement. The two studied bands are both broadened which, respectively, achieve 36.7% (690–1000MHz) and 47.3% (1710–2770MHz) for the lower and higher bands so as to satisfy the 2G/3G/4G wireless communication, and the corresponding gains of 4-5dBi and 5-6dBi are also obtained.

In this paper, a novel compact broadband antenna at UHF frequencies is presented with canonical shapes. Hemispherical, conical and cylindrical shapes have all been considered for antenna configuration. The designed antenna provides an instantaneous frequency range from 370 to 5,000 MHz with omnidirectional characteristics. The antenna was simulated in CST Microwave Studio, fabricated and evaluated; the results are presented. The simulated and measurement results are in good agreement. The antenna has voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ≤ 1.9:1 in 400–570 MHz, 2,530–3,740 MHz and 4,180–4,620 MHz; it has VSWR ≤ 3:1 over the operating frequency range 370–5,000 MHz and the measured gain varies from -0.6 to 4.5 dBi over the frequency band. The concept of canonical-shaped antenna elements and the incorporation of triple sleeves resulted in a reduction of the length of the antenna by 62% compared to the length of a half-wave dipole antenna designed at the lowest frequency. The antenna can be used for trans-receiving applications in wireless communication.

A broadband dual-polarized base station antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna consists of loop cross-dipoles, Y-shaped coupling feeding lines, and a metal box reflector. An equivalent circuit model including a signal flow diagram is established to analyze the mechanism of the proposed antenna in detail. Moreover, the Y-shaped coupling feeding lines are introduced to control the coupling with the antenna to achieve broadband and good impedance matching. The prototype of the antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the antenna with simple structures can operate at the band of 3.2–5.22 GHz (48%) with high port-to-port isolation (35 dB) and stable gain (9 ± 1 dBi). The measured results show good agreement with simulated results, especially in cross-polarization discrimination ratio (>27 dB) and the half power beam width (61° ± 3° at the E-plane, 68° ± 3° at the H-plane). In summary, the proposed antenna could be a good candidate for 5G sub-6 GHz base station applications.

A relay station (RS) is a smart transceiver used under a 4G wireless network in order to extend network's coverage and capacity. It uses an antenna system that includes an antenna for connecting the relay with the end users (access link) and the RS with the base station (backhaul link). In this paper, a 7.9 dBi access and 11.4 dBi backhaul antennas are presented for the frequency range of 3.3 to 3.8 GHz. The antennas are simulated and fabricated, and relevant measured results in terms of return loss and radiation pattern are presented and analyzed. Considering that the planes of those two antennas are positioned in an angle (omega), two antenna configuration geometries are tested in terms of coupling. The experimental results of for several values of the angle show that the interaction between the radiating elements is dependent on their relative position. Simulated and experimental results are in good agreement, showing coupling typically less than −40 dB. A comparison in terms of coupling between the proposed antennas and commercial ones proves that the suggested antennas provide 10 dB lower coupling.

Compact Array

In this paper, we present a compact array of 4 printed dipole antennas with ground plane, operating at 2.7 GHz and 5.2 GHz, designed for base station applications. First, the elementary printed dipole antenna, selected for its small size and good performances, is described. However, this kind of structures cannot cover two bands at the same time, which justify our proposal of a 4-elements network. Next, the 4-elements array is simulated, optimized, and measured to proof its performances with good agreement between the measurements and simulations. The measured gain of the 4-dipoles array is 4.21 dBi and 6.15 dBi for both operating frequencies 2.7 GHz and 5.2 GHz, respectively.

Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have received much interest from both academia and industry due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness in adjusting the phase and amplitude of wireless signals with low-cost passive reflecting elements. In particular, many RIS-aided techniques have been proposed to improve both data rate and energy efficiency for 6G wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a novel RIS-based channel randomization (RCR) technique for improving physical-layer security (PLS) for a time-division duplex (TDD) downlink cellular wire-tap network which consists of a single base station (BS) with multiple antennas, multiple legitimate pieces of user equipment (UE), multiple eavesdroppers (EVEs), and multiple RISs. We assume that only a line-of-sight (LOS) channel exists among the BS, the RISs, and the UE due to propagation characteristics of tera-hertz (THz) spectrum bands that may be used in 6G wireless communication systems. In the proposed technique, each RIS first pseudo-randomly generates multiple reflection matrices and utilizes them for both pilot signal duration (PSD) in uplink and data transmission duration (DTD) in downlink. Then, the BS estimates wireless channels of UE with reflection matrices of all RISs and selects the UE that has the best secrecy rate for each reflection matrix generated. It is shown herein that the proposed technique outperforms the conventional techniques in terms of achievable secrecy rates.

In recent years, due to the strong mobility, easy deployment, and low cost of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), great interest has arisen in utilizing UAVs to assist in wireless communication, especially for on-demand deployment in emergency situations and temporary events. However, UAVs can only provide users with data transmission services through wireless backhaul links established with a ground base station, and the limited capacity of the wireless backhaul link would limit the transmission speed of UAVs. Therefore, this paper designed a UAV-assisted wireless communication system that used cache technology and realized the transmission of multi-user data by using the mobility of UAVs and wireless cache technology. Considering the limited storage space and energy of UAVs, the joint optimization problem of the UAV’s trajectory, cache placement, and transmission power was established to minimize the mission time of the UAV. Since this problem was a non-convex problem, it was decomposed into three sub-problems: trajectory optimization, cache placement optimization, and power allocation optimization. An iterative algorithm based on the successive convex approximation and alternate optimization techniques was proposed to solve these three optimization problems. Finally, in the power allocation optimization, the proposed algorithm was improved by changing the optimization objective function. Numerical results showed that the algorithm had good performance and could effectively reduce the task completion time of the UAV.

A planar printed dipole antenna with reflectors and directors, able to steer its radiation pattern in different directions, is proposed for telecommunication applications. Starting from a dual-beam printed dipole antenna achieved by combining two elementary dipoles back to back, and by loading four PIN diodes, three modes of reconfigurable radiation patterns are achieved at the frequency 2.56 GHz thanks to switches states. A prototype of the structure was realized and characterized; an efficiency of 75% is obtained. Simulation and measured results of the results are presented and discussed.
