Demonstrating Advantages of Smart Antennas in Indoor Wireless Communications Systems. The performance of indoor wireless communications systems is adversely affected by multi-path signal propagation. When the received signal drops below a certain level, the usual practice is that the receiving station requests the transmitting device to increase its output power. An adverse effect of this action is a reduced life of battery of a portable transceiver, more power being radiating towards users and ....Demonstrating Advantages of Smart Antennas in Indoor Wireless Communications Systems. The performance of indoor wireless communications systems is adversely affected by multi-path signal propagation. When the received signal drops below a certain level, the usual practice is that the receiving station requests the transmitting device to increase its output power. An adverse effect of this action is a reduced life of battery of a portable transceiver, more power being radiating towards users and an increase of interference. The aim of this project is to demonstrate an alternative method of maintaining good quality communication link. The proposed method employs a smart antenna system to mitigate adverse effects of multi-path and interference.Read moreRead less
Design of Planar Microwave Components and Sub-systems for Wideband Applications. The present research proposal will support the development of the Australian wireless communication industries by providing them with new solutions of fully integrated low-profile and compact size wideband wireless sub-systems, as demanded by emerging wideband applications. This goal will be accomplished by applying a new technique to the design of planar microwave circuits. The proposed solution should lead to impr ....Design of Planar Microwave Components and Sub-systems for Wideband Applications.
