Assessment and modelling of terminal antenna systems

Summary, in English

The pervasive use and insatiable demand for high-performance wireless devices globally are driving the development of new communication technologies and standards. In this chapter, we present advancements in the area of terminal antenna systems and describe how they play a major role in enabling strict performance requirements to be met in future systems. As opposed to conventional systems that do not require explicit considerations of the terminal antenna beyond the satisfaction of some predefined design criteria in impedance bandwidth, radiation pattern and efficiency, multiple antenna systems in upcoming and future wireless networks must deliver significantly higher performance goals.
