In order to achieve very high data rates in both the uplink and downlink channels, the multiple antenna systems are used within the mobile terminal as well as the base station of the future generation of mobile networks. When implemented in a size limited platform, the multiple antenna arrays suffer from strong mutual coupling between closely spaced array elements. In this paper, a rigorous procedure for the design of a 4-port compact planar antenna array with high port isolation is presented. The proposed design involves a decoupling network consisting of reactive elements, whose values can be obtained by the method of eigenmode analysis. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed design approach in improving the port isolation of a compact four-element planar array.

Internet antennas-busters are one of the most common antennas of suburban subscriber stations of broadband radio access systems. In many ways, the speed of information transmission in such systems limits the signal level provided by the base station in the entire operating band of the Internet signal. Since the antenna located on the wall of the house is stationary, it can be made relatively large, which allows you to implement a higher gain and accordingly increase the signal level on the router. At the same time, the market for such antennas is quite saturated with a wide variety of antenna designs, but due to the increase in the number of people working in remote mode and the expected transition to mobile communication systems 5G, it still continues to develop rapidly. The paper proposes a new design of the transceiver mobile Internet antenna-buster, whose main advantage is absolute imperceptibility when installed outdoors. We consider a planar in-phase 8-element antenna array installed on the window glass of a suburban building. As the individual emitters of the lattice are encouraged to use a planar wave dipoles. A feeding scheme for the antenna array on flat two-wire lines has been developed, which provides in-phase and almost equal amplitude excitation of all array elements of the array. Calculations of antenna radiation patterns in the range of 1700-2700 MHz are given. It is shown that the developed antenna has a gain of 8-9 dB in the range of 1700-2100 MHz and 10-12 dB in the range of 2400-2700 MHz. These values are practically not inferior to similar indicators of known collinear antenna arrays and in the upper part of the work range, they have a gain of 1-2 dB compared to their analogs. A planar array matching scheme has been developed that provides a VSWR of about 2.5 in the range of 1700-2100 MHz and no worse than 2 in the range of 2400-2700 MHz. Variants of constructing planar antenna arrays with broadband emitters that provide similar matching without the use of additional matching devices are presented.

The fifth-generation (5G) network has been broadly investigated by many researchers. The capabilities of 5G include massive system capacity, incredibly high data rates everywhere, very low latency and the most important point is that it is exceptionally low device cost and low energy consumption. A key technology of 5G is the millimeter wave operating at 28 GHz and 38 GHz frequency bands which enable massive MIMO and small cell base station densification. However, there has been public concern associated with human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 5G communication devices. Hence, this paper studies the power density of a 5G antenna array that can be used for the indoor base station. The power density is the amount of power or signal strength absorbed by a receiver such as the human body located a distance from the base station. To achieve this, the design of array antennas using CST software at 28 GHz, fabrication and measurement were carried out in an indoor and hallway environment. The measurement processes were set up at IC5G at UTM Kuala Lumpur in which the distance of the transmitter to receiver where 1 m, 4 m, 8 m, and 10 m. In this study, the measured power density is found to be below the set limit by ICNIRP and hence no health implication is feared. Regardless, sufficient act of cautionary has to be applied by those staying close to small cell base stations and more studies are still needed to ensure the safety of use of 5G base stations.

AbstractIn order to improve the quality of the received signal and system spectral efficiency, accurate beamforming using a given antenna array is essential for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To obtain desired MIMO transmission performance, construction of codebooks which are composed of matching beamforming vectors to the array structure is important. To effectively cover different types of mobile traffic, the base station for 5G new radio employs antenna arrays in various sizes and shapes. Nevertheless, the codebooks adopted by the 3GPP standard so far are based on the uniform linear array and the uniform planar array, necessitating design techniques for a wider class of antenna arrays. In this paper, we propose codebook construction methods for the uniform circular array with parameters to flexibly set the initial phase and step size based on the channel characteristics of the user equipment (UE). When tested over the 3GPP spatial channel model, the proposed codebooks show a substantial amount of gain over the conventional codebooks in all UE locations within the cell.

The results of research on the layout of the antenna array for a promising cellular base station in the frequency range 1,81,88 GHz, which includes a linear antenna array of 12 slotted elements with rectangular directors, the diagram forming scheme of which uses a modification of the Rotman lens, characterized in that for the sake of reducing its overall dimensions, the lens is folded in half the earth is located in the center, and on both sides of it-the halves of the lens body with exponential strip transformers. It is shown that to reduce the level of the side lobes of the antenna system in the reception mode, interpolation and extrapolation antenna arrays can be used. An extrapolation array can also be formed in order to increase the directional coefficient of the receiving antenna system and resolve radio sources that are not resolved by the real antenna array.

Directional Modulation

Directional modulation (DM) technique has the ability to enhance the physical layer security (PLS) of wireless communications. Conventional DM schemes are usually based on a single antenna array with the basic assumption that eavesdroppers (Eves) and legitimate users (LUs) are in different directions. However, it is possible that Eves are in the same direction as LUs in practical applications. As a result, signals received by Eves will be approximately the same or even in better quality than those received by LUs. To address the neighbor security issue, we introduce a multiple antenna arrays model at the transmitter side with the help of the artificial noise (AN)-aided DM technique to achieve secure and precise DM transmission in this paper. Meanwhile, to recover the mixed useful signals, two novel DM schemes based on single- and multi-carrier multiple antenna arrays model are proposed, respectively. In addition, the symbol error rate (SER), secrecy rate, and robustness performance of the proposed DM schemes were analyzed and simulated. Simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed DM schemes and demonstrate that multiple antenna arrays model based DM methods outperform single antenna array model aided DM methods in security.

Antenna array of large scale have been examined for different applications including 5G technology. To get better data rate or a reliable link substantial number of antenna arrays have been utilized to provide high multiplexing gains as well as array gains with high directivity. In this paper a simple but efficient implementation technique of using sub-arrays for the improvement of large-sized uniform arrays. By repeating a small sub-array multiple times large arrays can be designed. This implication of utilizing small array simplifies the design of a larger array which allows the designer to concentrate on the smaller sub-array before assembling larger arrays. So, by investigating the sub arrays the performance and radiation characteristics of large arrays can be anticipated. The array-factor for a planar sub-array of 2x2 (4 elements) is analyzed using Mat-lab software and then a large array is formed by placing the 2x2 sub-array indifferent configurations in a rectangular arrangements up to 8x8 planar array. And then the results are validated with CST (Computer simulation technology) simulation results.In this way the array-factors, directivities, HPBWs, and side lobes of the constructed large arrays are analyzed and associated with the small sub-array.

Context. The aim of the article is to analyze the throughput of the LTE-A mobile network on the uplink using an adaptive linear equidistant antenna array. Objective. Suggestions have been made for the possibility of using adaptive antenna arrays to increase bandwidth in LTE-A mobile networks and analyze the benefits of its use compared to the standard type of base station antenna Method. To achieve this result, a computer model of noise analysis of the mobile network in the form of a flat regular hexagonal antenna array consisting of 7 three-sector cells was developed. To estimate the benefit from the use of adaptive antenna arrays, two options were analyzed: when using a standard antenna array of the LTE-A network, and an adaptive linear equidistant antenna array. During the simulation, 100 random placements of subscribers of useful and interference signals were performed and the minimum, maximum and average gain from the use of adaptive antenna arrays was calculated. The average value of the gain for the adaptive antenna array in the direction of the subscriber station, which generates a useful signal of 5.69 dB more than the standard antenna array of the LTE-A network. At the same time, there is a significant reduction in the gain of the adaptive antenna in the direction of the interference subscriber stations, namely, for those with the highest interference level, the gain is 32.84 dB and 28.33 dB, respectively. To clearly show the gain in the qualitative characteristics of the network, a bandwidth analysis was performed for different types of antennas. The bandwidth distribution (transport block size) for 50 resource blocks using an adaptive equidistant linear antenna array compared to a standard antenna array is presented. Results. It is shown that due to the use of adaptive antenna systems, the average bandwidth increases from 11 Mbit/s to 35 Mbit / s for all types of distribution considered channels. Conclusions. The article proposes the use of adaptive antenna arrays to increase the bandwidth of the LTE-A network. The simulation of bandwidth for 50 resource blocks showed that in the presence of internal system interference when using standard antennas of base stations, the average bandwidth is from 11.2 Mbps to 12.3 Mbps. At the same time, due to the use of adaptive antenna systems, the average bandwidth increases from 11 Mbit/s to 35 Mbit/s for all types of multipath channels considered.

For operation in the frequency range of 5,1–5,9 GHz, a directional antenna device has been developed for use as part of a base station in a stationary point-to-multipoint system with a controlled beam position. The antenna device is a switched, broadband, ring antenna array with electronic scanning in the azimuthal plane. Its distinctive feature is high gain of the radiating elements, which are used as linear printed antenna arrays with parallel power supply. The required directional characteristics and matching of the emitters have been achieved in the process of parametric synthesis carried out using the CST MS program. In a given frequency range, the emitters are characterized by the following parameters: width of the main lobe of the directional pattern in the E-plane is 6,6…7,5 deg; level of the first side lobe in the E-plane is 0…–11,4 dB; width of the main lobe of the directional pattern in the H-plane is 53,2…73,4 deg; level of the first side lobe in the H-plane is –23,4…–26,4 dB; gain is 17,0…17,5 dB; the reflection coefficient at the input of the emitters does not exceed 0,2. In the horizontal plane the main lobe of the directional pattern at different frequencies is shifted by an angle of 5–10 deg relative to the normal to the radiating opening of the emitters. The reason is a microstrip distributor combined with printed antenna array emitters on a common printed circuit board. The specified offset of the main lobe of the directional pattern does not decrease the functional characteristics of the antenna device, because the difference in level in the direction of the main maximum and in the direction normal to the radiating aperture of antenna arrays does not exceed 0,5 dB. In addition, the specified offset at the given frequency is regular and has the same value for all emitters of the ring antenna array. Therefore, the angular discret and the level of overlap of the directional patterns of the neighboring emitters when scanning in the azimuthal plane remain unchanged. The results of an experimental study of a prototype antenna device have been presented. They are in good agreement with the results of computer modeling.
