LMDS systems and their application

Abstract: Local multipoint distribution systems (LMDS) represent a new radio-based access technology with cellular architecture offering flexible high-capacity connections to private users and organizations. The systems employ a point-to-multipoint broadcast downlink with a total capacity of 36-38 Mb/s per transport stream, giving high flexibility for inclusion of any type of data. The interactive channel, being a point-to-point connection, may employ different technologies depending on availability and user demand for capacity. This capacity may basically range from a few kilobits per second up to at least 25.6 Mb/s. LMDS performance relative to other broadband access technologies is discussed. A major remaining development task is the establishment and verification of methods for coverage of normally shielded areas. The availability of cheap repeaters and possibly reflectors for increased coverage is a must, which will significantly improve coverage. The LMDS technology, now in its first stage of implementation, is expected to enhance development of broadband services such as e-commerce and tele-teaching.

A Dual-Band Dipole Antenna With Integrated-Balun

Abstract: The design and realization of a dual-band balun-integrated dipole antenna is presented. A new type of dual-band balun is introduced as the feeding network, providing antiphase input signals for the dual-band dipole antenna. The dual-band balun is realized by the aid of a stepped-impedance transformer and tapped open-ended stubs. Combined with this balun, a uni-planar dual-band dipole antenna is designed. An experimental prototype working at 2.45/5.25 GHz are fabricated and measured. The measured performances of the antenna show good return loss and radiation patterns at the two working frequencies, proving the dual-band operation of the proposed dipole antenna.

Design of Substrate Integrated Coaxial Line (SICL) fed dipole antenna for K band application

Abstract: In this paper, design of Substrate Integrated Coaxial Line (SICL) fed printed dipole antenna for Ka band application is demonstrated. The proposed antenna efficiently utilizes the out of phase surface current in the central and outer conductor of the SICL to excite the dipole antenna. The use of SICL removes the need of using balun to feed the dipole antenna and makes the feeding network simpler. The metal plate at the top layer acts as reflector for the dipole antenna which helps to enhance the gain of the antenna upto 5.38 dBi with a broad bandwidth of 2.37 GHz. The antenna is implemented in low profile planar substrate making it suitable for practical application in Ka band.
