In this paper, we propose a multi-band antenna for wearable devices using metal frame coupling. The proposed antenna has a $45mm{\times}35mm$ antenna using metal frame and a ground dual coupling structure. The proposed multi-band antenna in this paper is optimized for small devices such as wearable devices. By using the metal frame as a part of the antenna, the volume of the antenna is reduced and satisfies under VSWR 3:1 impedance bandwidth of 70 MHz (870 ~ 940 MHz) in low frequency band, 280 MHz (1600 ~ 1880 MHz) and 280 MHz (1900 ~ 2170 MHz) in high frequency band. It also verified the applicability of wearable devices by measuring wireless performance indicators such as TRP/TIS.

In this paper, a dual-polarized multi-band multi-layer antenna for a vehicle, which operates in the GPS, bluetooth, and DSRC bands, was implemented. The antenna was designed as a multi-layer structure, and a FR4-epoxy substrate with =4.4 and =1.6mm was used. GPS and DSRC antennas have circular polarized characteristics, and a single probe feeding method was applied. Simulated results by Ansys HFSS v11 was compared with the measured ones. The size of the optimally designed antenna is $67mm{\times}67mm{\times}4.8mm$, -10dB bandwidth of the anatenna was measured to be 820MHz, 127MHz, and 862MHz in each band, and 3dB AR bandwidth of the antenna was simulated to be 19MHz and 110MHz in GPS and DSRC bands. The results confirmed that suggested system satisfies the system requirements.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of a compact hexa-band coupling antenna for 4G mobile handset using a small element with two slots. In order to obtain sufficient bandwidth (LTE700, GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS) with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio $(VSWR){\leq}3:1$, two slots are inserted in the small element, and coupling patch is used. The measured result of the fabricated antenna provides 410MHz bandwidth form 0.688 to 1.098GHz and 643 MHz bandwidth form 1.607 to 2.250GHz (${\leq}VSWR 3:1$) with the gain ranging from -0.52 to 4.68 dBi. Also, a good radiation pattern is achieved within the hexa-band (0.698-0.960GHz and 1.710-2.170GHz) range.

In this paper, a novel dual and wide band aperture stacked patch antenna for Cellular/PCS/IMT-2000 base station is presented. It consists of single microstrip patch having notches along the radiating patch, two dielectric substrates and a form material. To achieve wide band characteristic, we utilize the coupling effect between the notched patch and the resonant aperture in the ground plane and by properly cutting notches on the patch, an aperture stacked patch antenna could be designed to yield dual frequency operation. By the proper choice of resonant aperture size and height of a foam material, dual and wide band characteristic could be realized the measured impedance bandwidth(1:1.5 VSWR) of designed antenna at lower band(860 MHz) reaches 77 MHz and covers the Cellular CDMA band(824∼894 MHz). The measured impedance bandwidth(1:1.5 VSMR) of the designed antenna at upper band(1,960 MHz) is about 550 MHz and covers both the PCS band(1,750∼l,870 MHz) and the for-2000 band(1,920∼2,170 MHz). Good broadside radiation with high gain(5.65∼7.4 dBi) characteristics have also been observed.

This paper proposes the design of multiband repeater antenna with fire-fighting band for in-building mobile communication. The proposed antenna is composed of a center monopole and 4 parasitic elements on a circular plate. In order to realize good reflection coefficients at the multiband, mutual coupling between 4 parasitic elements and center monopole antenna is considered. The important parameters such as distance between parasitic element and a center monopole, and each height of a center monopole and 4 parasitic elements are simulated to obtain good antenna characteristics at the multiband. The diameter of 4 parasitic elements and a center monopole was fixed to 10 mm for easy design and manufacturing. The measurement results of reflection coefficients, 2-D patterns and gain agreed well with their simulation ones.

This study presents the structure design of antenna to have the dual band characteristics in a desired frequency band through the structural modification of an antenna structure. For the experiment, a wideband crossed planar monopole antenna was used. The target frequency band was set to ISM 2.45GHz/5.8GHz. To give the properties, an additional antenna element was added to the crossed planar monopole antenna, which is a main body of the antenna. And then structural adjustment parameter was set to change the length(shape) of the antenna. Various simulations were conducted to find the dual band characteristics in the desired frequency band. The simulations brought forth the antenna bandwidth above the normal values for ISM 2.45GHz/5.8GHz. The structural adjustment parameter introduced in this study for structural modification of an antenna can be useful in developing an antenna featured with dual band(multiband) characteristics.

We propose multistage parallel nulling (MPN) partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC) receiver for downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier (MC)-code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Though the V-BLAST is a popular MIMO receiver, it shows error floor for multiuser downlink MIMO MC-CDMA systems. The proposed MPN-PPIC receiver does not produce error floor for multiuser case, and achieves substantial performance gains with multistage processing. For single user case, the proposed method also surpasses the V-BLAST receiver with multistage processing for MIMO MC-CDMA systems with chip level interleaving. The system performance of the proposed MPN-PPIC receiver is evaluated through computer simulations.
