Diffraction loss occurs when the propagation path is obstructed by mountains and hills between a base station antenna and a moving vehicle antenna in mobile-radio communication. In this paper an approximate mathematical model using Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory is considered to predict propogation attenuation by natural obstacles with lateral profiles having general shapes. Field tests are conducted using helical and crossed drooping dipole antenna at 820 MHz. The theoretical analysis used in estimating the effects of hills agrees reasonably with experimental data. The results seem to be useful for estimating the level of received power, the minimum allowable input power, the optimum site of base station and consequently, planning terrestrial microwave links.

The SDR(Software Defined Radio) system for hardware and software must be an open structure to various system standards. It should also provide a capability of distributed processing, object-orientedness, and software controllability. It implies that the software to be used in the SDR system should provide the openness such that it can operate independently of a given hardware platform. In order to achieve these goals, the SDR system tends to modularization for increasing hardware reuse and design flexibility, which provides the system reconfigurability. In this paper, we implemented a base station with proposed an open architecture of a Smart Antenna Base Station(SABS) and Smart Antenna APIs[10] operating in SDR network in such a way that the architecture itself is suitable for the entire system to maintain the openness, object-orientedness, and software controllability.

In this paper, we propose an electrically tilting system based on a null-steering in order to solve the problem of the shadowing loss caused by the mechanically tilted antenna system in mobile services. Especially, we improve the downward shadowing loss by eliminating or moving the vertical beampattern nulls between $-30^{\circ}{\sim}0^{\circ}$ to be able to tilt the downward beampattern between $-10^{\circ}{\sim}0^{\circ}$. The antenna has 14.5 dBi gain and side lobe level (SLL) is lower than -18 dB within downward tilting range. The isolation of polarization is greater than 30 dB when running in electric tilt down to $-10^{\circ}$. To verify this paper, we made the base-station antenna for W-CDMA and beam tilting devices, and verified the performances.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a DS-CDMA system employing adaptive adaptive array antenna technology at base-station. For the analysis the receiving architecture of a multiple team adaptive base-station array antenna is proposed as a major system omponent, and signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) on the proposed architecture is developed. We show that the perfomance enhancement of the CDMA system is represented as great reduction of interfreence by employing an array antenna capable of resolving the angular distribution of the mobile users as seen at the ase-station. The energy associated with each mobile or a group of mobiles is thus confined within the addressed volume, greatly reducing the amount of co-channel interference experienced from and by neighboring co-channel cells. In order to ascertain the benefits of such an antenna, a theoretical approach, which eis based on the conventional and proposed antenna systems in a typical mobile radio environment, is adopted. Finally computer simulation results show the insight into how the adaptive array antenna operates when used in conjunction with DS-CDMA and illustrate the potential benefits in the SINR point of view.

In this paper, the rectangular reflector antenna with 8-dipole array for PCS band (1,750 MHz ~ l,870 MHz) and IMT-2000 band(1,885 MHz ~ 2,200 MHz) is designed and the radiation characteristics are analyzed using the method of moments and HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). To verify the analysis results, rectangular reflector antenna with 8-dipole array is fabricated and the calculated results are compared with the measured results. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results. As a result of measurements, bandwidth(VSWR< 1.5) of 450 MHz is achieved at PCS and IMT-2000 band and gain is 16 dBi. The designed antenna can be used as the base station antenna for PCS/IMT-2000.

In this paper, the broadband antenna for the combined base station of Cellular/PCS/IMT-2000/Wibro and S-DMB services is designed and the proposed antenna allows having sufficient coverage for each service band. In order to get the broadband impedance matching, the tapered sections are applied on the both terminus of hi-conical respectively. The design parameter is calculated and simulated by using FDTD method. As a result, the measured bandwidth of the proposed antenna is $0.79GHz{\sim}2.93GHz$ and the gain is distributed from 5.5 dBi up to 8.19 dBi.

In mobile environments, their is more than one propagation path between each transceiver and Receiver have two or more delayed multipath signals. Delayed multipath signals can cause ISI and Receiver needs a adaptive algorithm to estimate a channel periodically. Also adaptive antenna using adaptive algorithm provide a significant increase in capacity, performance and coverage. This paper describes various LMS algorithm and evaluate the performance of array antenna Base station by using LMS algorithm in the presence of multipath signals and multiple users. As a result of simulation, Adaptive array antenna systems are able to adjust their antenna pattern to select desired signals, and reduce interference.

In this paper, we proposed the broadband polarization diversity antenna operating in the PCS, WCDMA and WiBro band for mobile base station. We designed the antenna using the dipole antenna of the square loop type and microstrip feeding structure. Additionally, we used the choke box to remove the distortion of radiation patterns by the reflector structure when operating broadband. The simulation was performed using MWS in a commercial tool of CST company and the antenna was fabricated on a teflon substrate with 3.33 of the relative permittivity. The proposed antenna has the bandwidth of 640 MHz(from 1.75 to 2.39 GHz) when VSWR is below 1.5. At the operating bands, the interisolation between the cross-pair radiators is less than -25 dB and the maximum gains for PCS, WCDMA and WiBro band are 8.9, 8.2 and 8.6 dBi, respectively.

The MC-CDMA(multi-carrier code division multiple access) technique is known to be appropriate for high data-rate wireless communications such as mobile multimedia communication due to its robustness to multipath fading and its capability of handing high data rates with a simple one-tap equalizer. In this paepr, the performance of a MC-CDMA cellular system employing antenna arrays at the based station in a fading channel is presented. It is whown that the interference from other users within the cell can be significantly reduced for both reverse link (mobile to base station) and forward link (base station to mobile) using a MC-CDMA with antenna arrays, thus incresig the system's user-capacity. Computer simulations that demonstrate user-capacity improvement of the proposed approach are discussed.
