RF Channel-Selectivity Sensing by a Small Antenna of Metamaterial Channel Filters for 5G Sub-6-GHz Bands

Abstract

In this paper, a new small antenna is suggested for 5G Sub-6-GHz band mobile communication. It can change the channel among the three given bands (called the 3.5-GHz area), as a wide-band antenna is connected to a small multiplexer comprising three metamaterial channel filters. The function of channel selection of this antenna system is experimentally demonstrated to prove the validity of the presented scheme. The channel selection for 5G mobile communication is conducted from f1 (channel 1) through f2 (channel 2) to f3 (channel 3), when TX and RX antennas with gains over 0 dBi and S11 less than −10 dB are located far-field apart (RFar ≫ 2.1 cm), and result in the transmission coefficient (S21) being the greatest at the selected channel, which is detected by a vector network analyzer.

A Chip Antenna for Bluetooth Earphones with Cross-Head Interference Tested from Received-Signal Sensing

“…There are three circuit models in Figure 3 . The form of the basic CRLH circuit is made up of a series, such as an inductor ( L ) and capacitor ( C ), and shunt L and C , as in Figure 3 a [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. With more elements added to the simple CRLH circuit, it can provide more functions, and it is called the extended CRLH (E-CRLH) circuit [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Wideband Reconfigurable Integrated Low-Pass Filter for 5G Compatible Software Defined Radio Solutions

“…One of the most developed and deployed air interface cellular mobile communication technology is 3GPP LTE, while its successor, 5G NR, has been for some time and still is a major focus of many researchers regarding various use-cases in network resource management, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, intelligent transport systems, and other topics [6,14]. With the gradual deployment of 3GPP 5G NR commercial cells, both nonstandalone (NSA) and standalone (SA), SDR-based transceivers can be used to implement a flexible wideband radio solutions, which can be deployed in any region, have common radio management features, support various channel bandwidths, and can be used as O-RAN compliant white-box hardware [15].…”

Antennas and Propagation: A Sensor Approach

“…In Ref. [ 16 ], a small antenna for sub-6GHz 5G communications is proposed. The design consists of a wide-band antenna connected to a small multiplexer comprising three metamaterial channel filters.…”
