ABOUT SEMINAR
MINIATURIZATION OF ULTRA‐WIDEBAND ANTENNAS
Ultra‐wideband (UWB) has become the promising wireless technology in commercial applications such as next‐
generation short‐range high‐data‐rate wireless communications, high resolution imaging, and high accuracy
radar. The antenna is one of the key designs in UWB wireless systems. This talk starts with a brief introduction
to design challenges of UWB antennas, followed by state‐of‐the‐art solutions. Next, miniaturization
technologies for UWB antennas are addressed. Planar designs are highlighted due to their unique merits and
wide adoption in practical applications. First, a newly developed technique to achieve ground‐independent
UWB antenna performance, one of the most challenging issues in small antenna design, is addressed. A design
example is used to elaborate the mechanism of the method. Based on this concept, an antenna with further
reduced size is designed to fit wireless USB dongles. Furthermore, an innovative compact diversity UWB
antenna shows the advantage of ground‐independence for small antennas in diversity applications. At the end,
the trends of UWB antenna R&D are discussed, correlated with applications and market demands.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF ANTENNAS FOR MIMO SYSTEMS
‐ANTENNA ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVES
This talk will present and discuss the key design considerations for antennas in multiple‐input‐multiple‐output
(MIMO) wireless communication systems from antenna engineering perspectives. First, the effects of antenna
design on diversity performance of MIMO systems will be analyzed. This will show that the configurations of
the antennas can greatly affect system performance; in particular, the signal correlation at both the
transmitters and the receivers in both the uplink and the downlink. Second, the effects on the envelope
correlation and capacity of MIMO systems will be evaluated by using antenna parameters, namely S‐
parameters and radiated electric fields. In particular, the antenna efficiency that is affected by inter‐element
mutual coupling is taken into account in the antenna design. Third, the concepts of two‐dimensional and three‐
dimensional envelope correlation coefficient distributions are introduced and discussed.
