A.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/823933}, title = {Antenna fundamentals for legacy mobile applications and beyond /}, publisher = {Springer,}, abstract = {This book highlights technology trends and challenges that trace the evolution of antenna design, starting from 3rd generation phones and moving towards the latest release of LTE-A. The authors explore how the simple monopole and whip antenna from the GSM years have evolved towards what we have today, an antenna design that is compact, multi-band in nature and caters to multiple elements on the same patch to provide high throughput connectivity. The scope of the book targets a broad range of subjects, including the microstrip antenna, PIFA antenna, and the monopole antenna to be used for different applications over three different mobile generations. Beyond that, the authors take a step into the future and look at antenna requirements for 5G communications, which already has the 5G drive in place with prominent scenarios and use-cases emerging. They examine these, and put in place the challenges that lie ahead for antenna design, particularly in mm-Wave design. The book provides a reference for practicing engineers and under/post graduate students working in this field.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-63967-3}, recid = {823933}, pages = {1 online resource}, address = {Cham :}, year = {2018}, }
