High signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels are required to provide high data rate transmission for the next generation of mobile and wireless devices. In order to provide high SNR and to cope with the environmental impacts on the data transmission, diversity techniques are used. This thesis investigates the performance enhancement that can be delivered by including more antennas in the system. The performance enhancement is dependent on the characteristics of the antennas and on the wave propagation environment. Different mobile propagation channels are investigated and a fading simulator is improved. The fading simulator is combined with the spherical models for the field angle of arrivals to be able to calculate the performance of wireless terminals with multiple antennas. The verification of the computations is performed by measurements conducted in Supelec reverberation chamber. Furthermore, the statistical characteristics of the multipath fading signals in the reverberation chamber are investigated in detail.Using the proposed methods, the antenna diversity performance enhancements in relation to the relative displacement and orientation of the antennas and various spherical field models are studied. Furthermore the gain improvements for the channels with correlated signals and unbalanced powers are investigated. Antenna diversity is studied for two parallel dipole antennas in relation to the separation distance by the simulations and measurements in reverberation chamber. Radiation pattern phase diversity is depicted for the coupled antennas. A simple and compact mobile phone antenna diversity system is developed and the performance including phantom human head model is investigated through mean effective gain, signals correlation coefficient and diversity gain.Four different and compact antenna diversity systems are designed, simulated and manufactured for wireless LAN applications. The antennas make use of polarization, pattern and phase diversities for signals reception in multipath channels. The performance enhancement of the antenna systems are explored by the simulations and the measurements.

The increasing frequencies used in wireless communications now allow multi-element antennas (MEAs) to be physically small enough to fit on hand-held terminals. The role of the antenna is to transform between free-space waves and electronic signals, and its critical importance is that this transformation is the biting constraint for the performance of the entire wireless system. For example, two basic resources for wireless communications arebandwidth and spatial support (size of the terminal), and the electrical size of the antenna fundamentally governs the tradeoff between these. Especially for mobile communications, the need for compact terminals and the demand for spectral and power efficiencies have been drivers of the adoption of MEAs for diversity and other multiple-input, multipleouput (MIMO) techniques. However, a methodology for the general design and evaluation for MEAs is not yet well established. This thesis addresses the evaluation of MEAs for diversity/MIMO, and also investigates single-port MEA designs comprising slotted waveguide arrays. The first part reviews techniques for antenna diversity/MIMO. It presents discussion and interpretation of the still-evolving diversity metrics, and benchmark antenna designs with new numerical and physical results for better understanding the evaluation processes. Pattern measurement is particularly challenging, but patterns are critical antenna parameters and are used in diversity performance metrics. The practical accuracy of pattern measurements is therefore included in the thesis. The second part looks into slot antennas for MEAs which strive to be compact, wideband, high efficiency and have low-cost integration with the terminal. Some applications call for antennas on, or within, an electrically small, curved metallic platform, such as a mast, or the struts of unmanned aerial vehicles, drones and bicycle frames. New designs of slotted coaxial waveguide antennas are presented which are more compact and have wider bandwidth than previously known designs.

This book presents up-to-date information about WLAN antenna designs for students, researchers, and professionals who want to design radiating systems to be deployed for practical coverage. The book primarily focuses on pattern diversity antennas. Pattern diversity antennas are very vital in wireless communication. High correlation between multiple signals can result in low data throughput which can be solved by using antennas with pattern diversity. Beam scanning antennas and their variants are also described in detail. Pattern diversity antenna systems with multiport feeds are also comprehensively discussed in this book. For a multiport system to maintain a reasonable link budget, equal antenna gains are preferred for the required antenna coverage. The book further describes the latest techniques to enhance and equalize the antenna gain within a compact radiating system. With increasing demand for faster connectivity with minimum path loss, the demand for high-gain antennas is rapidly increasing. Thereby a detailed discussion on gain enhancement with the latest high-gain antenna designs is requisite while describing WLAN antennas. Some antenna designs discussed in the book are based on additive manufacturing for their design and fabrication. Additive manufacturing is a much sought-after technology today that allows rapid development of antennas at an affordable cost. Many recent WLAN antennas make use of this technology to develop versatile antenna designs. Finally, the book includes a section on wide-band antenna designs. Antenna designs that reduce the scanning loss are also discussed.

This book discusses the development of promising technologies for compact antennas for high data-rate communications. It discusses and analyzes the design of compact ultra-wideband (UWB) and multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antennas, providing essential know-how for designers, practicing engineers and scientists. These wireless communication technologies enable consumers to have convenient access to a wide range of services – anytime, anywhere. And the introduction of wireless mobile access points eliminates the limitations to communication imposed by geographical location. The Internet has allowed people to access and share information much more rapidly, but in order to achieve higher data rates with the limited available resources and imposed constraints, wireless communication technology needs to be pushed beyond the physical limits of the propagation channel. This book contributes to achieving this goal.
