This contribution focuses on the maximum likelihood (ML) noncoherent synchronization of multi-antenna transceivers working in faded environments and employing ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) transmit technology. In particular, the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) is derived for the general case of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) UWB-IR systems and used to compare the ultimate performance of three basic transmit schemes, thereinafter referred to as single input multiple output (SIMO), MIMO equal signaling (MIMO-ES), and MIMO orthogonal signaling (MIMO-OS) ones. Thus, the noncoherent ML synchronizer is developed for the better performing transmit scheme (i.e., the SIMO one) and its performance is evaluated under both signal acquisition and tracking operating conditions. The performance gain in the synchronization of UWB- IR signals arising by the utilization of the multi-antenna technology is also evaluated.

In this paper, the microstrip anntenna with broad bandwidth is designed using parasitic element. In the designed cofiguration, parasitic element of the same resonating length but different width which is coupled to the nonradiating edge of a rectangular patch antenna. The driven element aloe is fed and the other part is operated as parasitic element. So the different patchs are resonating at differnt frequencies and this multiple resonance increase the bandwidth. The overall size of the antenna is not increased by adding parasitic element to a driven patch. Compared to the available wideband microstrip antennas, the designed antenna structure is bery compact. A theoretical explanation of the rectangular patch antenna coupled with prarsitic is analyzed by extending the theory of coupled microstrip lines. The theoretical and experimental results for a patch coupled with a single parasitic are presented.

GPS(Global Positioning System) is widely used in the navigation system, ITS(Intelligence Transportation System), and mobile communications. Recently, it is considered to combine the GPS receiver with the CLONASS for the improvement of performance and accuracy. In this paper, a wideband aperture-coupled patch antenna with circular polarization is designed and implemented for the use of CPS/GLONASS combined receiver. The measured characteristics of the manufactured antenna shows the - l5 dB bandwidth of 220 MHz and the axial ratio less than 2.1 dB, and it satisfies the requirements of the GPS/GLONASS antenna.

In this paper, we proposed a planar reversed triangle monopole antenna for UWB(Ultra Wideband) communication. RF-60A substrate of 0.64 mm thickness and 6.15 relative permitivity and 0.035 mm conductor of thickness and loss tangent 0.0025 is used for implementation. We have used Ansoft $HFSS^{TM}$(High Frequency Structure Simulator) to simulate the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna showed return losses about -10 dB, nearly omni-directional radiation patterns and maximum gains are over -5 dBi at the frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for ultra wide band communication.

Cylindrical monopole antenna is one of most promising candidates for multi-band applications such as PCS, WLAN, DMB, and UWB wireless services. In this research, we analyze the current distributions of operating modes for a cylindrical double-resonant monopole antenna. Two modes, the standing wave mode in a lower band and the traveling wave mode in a higher band, are identified from CST software simulations. Finally, design formulas are derived form the simulation results.

In this paper, a novel wideband crossed planar monopole antenna with the multiple resonance characteristics is proposed. The proposed monopole antenna can be designed by a wideband crossed planar monopole antenna with L-shaped slits. In order to generate multiple resonance characteristics on the proposed monopole antenna, the length of L-shaped slit and the number of L-shaped slits are determined at an interesting frequency. The proposed antenna having an omnidirectional radiation pattern and a high gain over the multiple resonance frequency bands, respectively, is suitable for a mobile antenna.

Design and characteristic improvement of existing folded dipole antenna is presented to adopt W-CDMA(1.885~2.170 GHz) wideband antenna radiators. The antenna structure has +/- 45 degrees dual polarization. In order to overcome the narrow bandwidth and low gain characteristic typical of the microstrip antenna, double layered structure was employed. The antenna achieved below - 20 dB reflection coefficients each ports, - 20 dB of port isolation, above 7 dBi of gain, providing evidence that the proposed design can be used in the W-CDMA service frequency band antenna.

The proposed print antenna using Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method is analyzed in this paper. A low radiation resistance and an ultra-wide band of this antenna are also presented. The propagation process of the reflected wave and the electric field distribution in the time domain are calculated in respectively. The antenna parameters are optimized for the maximum band width, return loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain using Fourier transforming. The experimental bandwidth of the antenna is 1.85GHz~6.35GHz for the VSWR less than or equal to 2.0. The measured results are relatively in good agreement with the FDTD results. The proposed antenna can be applied to various applications such as UWB, broadcasting-network system.

In this paper, we propose a printed monopole antenna called the saw tooth monopole antenna(STMA) with a very wide band. And impedance matching of the antenna for the wideband is achieved using a special matching structure to vary ground size of back plate. The proposed antenna is smaller than general $\lambda$/4 monopole antenna in size but provides a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of about $89.6\%$. The radiation pattern is omni-directional at 0.8 GHz$\~$2.0 GHz with gain of about -0.02 dBi$\~$2.54 dBi.
