Abstract

Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output systems (MIMO) are regarded as one of the most promising research areas of wireless communication systems In wireless communication, elevated data broadcast rates are essential for the needs i.e. data, voice & video. At user end the capacity resolves the excellence of the communication systems. Transmission techniques of MIMO are two types one is diversity gain and second one is multiplexing gain. Fading mitigation and transmitted signal performance can be improved by diversity gain. Under prosperous dispersion environment multiplexing gain offers the high broadcast rates. Cooperative relaying is a expertise technology that can improve the performance of a wireless system via a number of mechanisms, such as increased spatial diversity. In this paper, a review of the prominent results like improving the user throughput and cell average throughput using relays in Cooperative – Multiple –Input-Multiple- Output systems (CMIMO).

Abstract

The objective of this research paper is to study the band gap of different materials, so they can be used for designing of an efficient photonic crystal based add drop filter for an optical communication system. Today most of the transmission takes place in 1550 nm window, which is the most modern mode of communication. So a suitable material can help to enhance the overall system performance. The composition of gallium, indium, and phosphorus introduce the semiconductor material called GaInP. It is used in high-power and high-frequency electronics because of its superior electron velocity with respect to the more common semiconductors silicon and gallium arsenide, but in this case the Si is considered to be more promising than the GaInP due to the band gap structure which is analyzed by various simulations. A crystal is periodic arrangement of atoms and molecules and the pattern which the atoms and molecules are repeated in space is the crystal lattice. In the PhC the atoms or molecule are replaced by macroscopic media with differing dielectric constants and the periodic potential is replaced by a periodic dielectric function. The Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is considered to be a propitious scheme for high capacity optical interconnects and it is essential for designing of an optical filter. The FDTD and PWE methods are ideal for the structural analysis of an PhC structures, here in this paper the Rsoft and Lumerical softwares are used for carrying out required simulations.

Abstract

Terahertz frequency range (from 0.1 THz to 10 THz) which is not fully utilized, has attracted many researchers because of extreme possibility of applications in the unused band. This paper shows the inclusion of graphene with Photonic Band Gap (PBG) in antenna and its effect in the performance of the proposed antenna. The designs, i.e. simple graphene based patch antenna, graphene based slotted ground patch antenna and graphene patch with PBG based antenna in terahertz regime with high gain, high directivity, good impedance matching are proposed here. The proposed antenna shows maximum gain of 5.74 dB and maximum directivity of 6.57 dB. Graphene has been used by many researchers for different applications, including terahertz radiator and terahertz absorber. Here graphene exceptional properties are utilized in terahertz regime antenna for wireless network applications. Good gain and good directivity of the proposed antenna shows better radiation efficiency of the antenna in the THz regime

Abstract

The paper discusses design of square slotted microstrip patch antenna with reduced ground plane for portable applications. Two rectangular slots are introduced in the design of square patch antenna that enhances the impedance bandwidth (1.46 – 2.55 GHz), to provide 54.3% wide fractional bandwidth relative to central frequency. Parametric analysis of substantial design parameters is conducted to optimize the wideband performance of proposed antenna. The anticipated antenna is designed and analyzed using finite-element-based 3-D electromagnetic simulator termed as HFSS version 15.0. The designed antenna retains an auxiliary advantage of being compact in size with overall dimensions being 0.35λ0 X 0.40λ0 X 0.011 λ0mm3, relative to central wavelength. Owing to compact size and wide impedance bandwidth, the proposed antenna is considered highly suitable for numerous wireless applications, such as GPS (1.575 GHz), GSM (1.8 GHz), Wi-Max (2.3 GHz), WLAN (2.4 GHz), and several LTE bands.

Abstract

This paper is based on the study of different techniques based on band-stop characteristics in Ultra wideband antenna. Narrow band services, such as WLAN (5.15 - 5.35 GHz and 5.75 - 5.825 GHz), WIMAX (3.3 - 3.6 GHz), Satellite Communication system (3.7 - 4.2 GHz), ITU band (8.025 - 8.4 GHz), and X-band (7.7 - 8.5 GHz) create potential interference in Ultrawideband communication. Band-stop characteristic is beneficial for minimizing potential interference. Here in this paper some advantages and disadvantages of ultra wide band antenna are presented. There are some different methods to remove unwanted frequencies, such as SRR, CSRR, and EBG. In this paper some different types of patches are also included.
