This body of work seeks to define Direct Spatial Antenna Modulation (DSAM) as a new and unique approach to data symbol modulation and phased array control by comparing and contrasting the technique to conventional approaches. A rigorous development of the theoretical and practic…
The aim of this work is to design and realise millimetre-wave low profile on-chip antennas for 60 GHz short-range wireless communication systems. For this application, it is highly desirable that the antenna can be compatible with standard silicon complementary metal oxide semic…
This document is a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Hertfordshire for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Part Time) in 'EMC in Wire-line Communications' in the School of Electronic, Communication and Electrical Engineering at the U…
Meander-line and multi-layer antennas have been used extensively to design compact UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) tags; however the overall size reduction of meander-line antennas is limited by the amount of parasitic inductance that can be introduced by each meander-…
Multi-antenna systems are increasingly becoming more and more ubiquitous as technology improves and has proven to be advantageous in many communication applications. This dissertation addresses the challenges faced by multi-antenna systems in a variety of applications with a wid…
Future wireless communications systems need a high quality of service coupled with high data rate transmission for multimedia services. Achieving this goal in the hostile wireless environment with its limited spectrum has several challenges and implies the necessity of a communi…
