- Circularly polarized microstrip antenna array for the Ka-bandPublication . Varum, Tiago; Matos, Joao; Duarte, Vanessa; Pinho, PedroThe growing needs of higher transmission rates lead to the use of the Ka frequency bands and multi-beam technology, in the satellite communications, allowing more coverage. This fact leads to the need for the use of directive antennas and beamforming techniques to achieve a precise control of radiation pattern. This paper presents the design of a circularly polarized microstrip antenna array, at 29 GHz, suitable to satellite communications. The array will be a module part to develop an ample antenna array suitable to fulfill the satellite requirements, and feed with an electronic beamforming network.
- Non-uniform printed antenna array for wireless communications in sports arenasPublication . Varum, Tiago; Matos, João N.; Pinho, Pedro; Abreu, RicardoWireless communications had a great development in the last years and nowadays they are present everywhere, public and private, being increasingly used for different applications. Their application in the business of sports events as a means to improve the experience of the fans at the games is becoming essential, such as sharing messages and multimedia material on social networks. In the stadiums, given the high density of people, the wireless networks require very large data capacity. Hence radio coverage employing many small sized sectors is unavoidable. In this paper, an antenna is designed to operate in the Wi-Fi 5GHz frequency band, with a directive radiation pattern suitable to this kind of applications. Furthermore, despite the large bandwidth and low losses, this antenna has been developed using low cost, off-the-shelf materials without sacrificing quality or performance, essential to mass production. © 2015 EurAAP.
