Transmission of Star 16QAM with differential detection has been demonstrated over a time division multiplexing (TDM)-PON. The multilevel downstream channel is operating at 10 Gb/s, while an OOK signal at 2.5 Gb/s is used for the upstream. Results show very good receiver sensitivity, indicating the modulation format's suitability for next-generation TDM-PONs. V C 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract-A handset antenna technique combining a parallel excitation of a PIFA and a slot is presented. The number of frequency bands is given by the sum of bands given per each radiator which can be controlled independently. Component interaction (battery, display, and speaker) is analyzed to determine the best place to mitigate performance degradation. Finally, a concept featuring a small footprint (39 11 mm 2 ) and low profile (2 mm) is proposed for multiband operation.Index Terms-Component interaction, handset antennas, multiband, planar inverted F antenna (PIFA), slot, specific absorption rate (SAR).
The combination of fractal geometry with electromagnetic theory opens an interesting window for research to find new antenna designs and applications. Fractal technology applications can be divided into six main groups: (1) multifrequency antenna elements, frequency‐selective surfaces, and arrays; (2) electrically small antennas; (3) high‐directivity radiating elements; (4) low‐sidelobe arrays; (5) undersampled arrays; and (6) fast computational methods. This article reviews most of the work done in the fractal technology field covering the last six fields.
e constant evolution of wireless handheld devices together with the apparition of multiple wireless communication systems fosters the antenna community to design new radiating and measurements systems capable of satisfying the market demands. It is an object of the present paper to provide an overview of the evolution that wireless handheld technology has experienced in the last years. In this sense, a description of the evolution of wireless handheld devices, regulations, challenges in today's smartphones, and handset characterization is reviewed. Finally, recent advances in antenna technology for wireless handheld or portable devices are presented.
