Antenna design & Channel modeling for H-Speed wireless communication

The main focus of this research is on the design and analysis of UWB and mmWave antennas and a joint antenna-and-environment aware channel modeling for developing reliable high-speed short-range wireless communications at 60 GHz (V-Band). To help ensuring the link and systems quality at 60 GHz the proposal adopts a joint approach to antenna design and channel modeling. This joint methodology enables more accurate and representative channel models which are then utilized to evaluate the performance achieved by using the developed antennas and, when necessary, fine tune the antenna design in an iterative manner. The proposal also adopts a different approach to channel modeling that goes beyond the current environment-specific efforts and employs an environment-and-antenna-family-specific approach (EAFSCM) that classify "families" of antenna characteristics and devise appropriate channel modes for them for each environment category. The outcomes of this research serves a wide range of applications in the personal, medical, security and traffic control sectors. Furthermore, the project outcomes help us to anticipate future needs in telecommunications.
