Author:Hussien, HM; Katzis, K; Mfupe, Luzango P; Bekele, ETDate:Jun 2022The coverage and capacity of exploiting TV White Spaces (TVWS) from High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) with multiple antenna payloads using uniform rectangular phased array (URA) antennas are explored in this article. A scenario is suggested in ...Read more
Author:Du Plessis, WP; Kitching, C; Bin Ghannam, ADate:Mar 2012The effect of allowing shared elements in interleaved thinned arrays is investigated. The sidelobe level (SLL) as a function of the number of shared elements mirrors the SLL of thinned arrays as a function of filling factor because the number ...Read more
Author:Mofolo, M; Lysko, Albert ADate:23 Nov 2015The use of smart antennas in wireless networks requires real-time synchronization of the beamforming and the transmission/receive processes for the host devices that are equipped with such antennas. This paper presents an approach for integrating ...Read more
Author:Mofolo, MRO; Lysko, Albert A; Clarke, WADate:Sep 2012The dimensions of an antenna system defines its performance. This implies proper calibration and fabrication process are vital. Thus, there is a need to investigate the influence of the variations in the dimensions of the antenna on its ...Read more
Author:Sokoya, OA; Xu, H; Takawira, FDate:Sep 2006This paper investigates the performance of super-orthogonal space time trellis codes when Virtual Antenna Arrays (VAA) is employed. The concept of virtual antenna arrays was developed to emulate Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) schemes ...Read more
