A Switched Oscillator Geometry Inspired by a Curvilinear Space-Part II: Electrodynamic Considerations

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This is the second part of a two-part paper in which we present a new technique for the design of coaxial switched oscillators (SWOs). In this part, we present a model for the analysis of the signal radiated by the SWO, in both frequency and time domains. ...

On the selection of radiating elements for compact indoor massive-multiple input multiple output base stations

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier

Massive-multiple input multiple output (MIMO) was recently proposed as a key solution for improving the performance of multi-user MIMO in future cellular generations. The main paradigm in this novel MIMO technique is to use a very large number of antenna e ...

Small antennas as wireless system components

Nuno Miguel Faria Pires

Small antennas, or more specifically, electrically small antennas, are passive radiating elements whose size is much smaller than the operating wavelength. The current wireless application systems usually have size constraints that, for the most common ope ...
