Multi-access antenna for an opportunistic radio mobile communication of fourth generation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 January 2010
Abstract
A new model of two-access reconfigurable antennas for future mobile communication systems is presented in this article. This structure is based on a slot antenna with two separated access ports, isolated and matched at 1 and 2 GHz, respectively. The novelty of this element lies in the fact that first a filtering structure is integrated in the antenna, and then any additional switching or frequency path selecting components that would induce losses and noise degradation is suppressed. Such flexible structures are assumed to be used in a future opportunistic radio, incorporating special features of “spectrum sensing”. The concept of the antenna illustrated by simulation and measurement is presented.
