Wideband, Multiband, and Smart Antenna Systems

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

In recent years, telecommunication technologies have witnessed exponential growth, especially in the cellular communications and wireless sensor networks segment. To meet the demand of increasing transmission capacity, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of cellular communication channels and expanding to the operating band of the equipment are necessary. For example, when the fourth generation (4G) standard was designed and deployed, several new frequency bands were added. The expansion of the operating band poses a huge challenge, especially in the low-frequency band, because of the large bandwidth. It is difficult to design a mobile device with one or more multi-standard antennas. A reconfigurable antenna can be considered as one of the key elements in future wireless communication transceivers. The advantage of using a reconfigurable antenna is the ability to operate in multiple bands, where the total antenna volume can be reused, thus enabling the overall size to be reduced. Modern wireless communication systems relying on multi-band reconfigurable antennas are becoming more popular for their ability to serve multiple standards. Devices using a single compact antenna allow a reduction in the dimensions of the device and more space to integrate other electronic components. Besides, in wireless sensor networks application, a directional reconfigurable antenna has the potential to reduce transmission collisions, increase communications distance, and optimize consumption, when compared with a traditional omnidirectional antenna.
