Sectorised WiMAX antenna for future vehicular communications systems

摘要

A narrow band antenna of dimensions 0.54;B; x 0.28;B; x 0.09;B; is presented. The design is suited for use in cellular Radio-over-Fibre networks. Associated mobile equipment using the international unlicensed WiMAX band (5.470-5.725 GHz) is also described. The antenna is well matched across the band and is suitable for a full-duplex bi-directional system with simultaneous transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx). It can be used with mobile handsets offering WiMAX connections, and in multi-sector configurations for vehicular communication systems.
