EVALUATION OF DIVERSITY ANTENNA DESIGNS USING RAY TRACING, MEASURED RADIATION PATTERNS, AND MIMO CHANNEL MEASUREMENTS

Evaluation of Diversity Antenna Designs Using Ray Tracing, Measured Radiation Patterns, and MIMO Channel Measurements

This paper presents an evaluation of the MIMO performance of three candidate antenna array designs, each embedded within a PDA footprint, using indoor wideband channel measurements at 5.2 GHz alongside channel simulations.A channel model which read more employs the plane-wave approximation was used to combine the embedded antenna radiation patterns

Self-Localizing On-Demand Portable Wireless Beacons for Coverage Enhancement of RF Beacon-Based Indoor Localization Systems

Localization using relative ranging from radio frequency (RF) wireless beacons installed in an indoor infrastructure is becoming the hallmark of indoor localization systems for asset tracking.However, the coverage of these beacons is not always complete.Moreover, installing the beacons in underutilized spaces is not cost-effective.Deploying portabl

Competitive Ability of Lettuce with Ryegrass1

ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to evaluate the competitive ability of summer crisp and butterhead lettuce types in coexistence with populations of ryegrass.The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 2 x 7 scheme, with four replications.On the A factor the lettuce types (summer crisp and butterhead) were allocated and,
