Wide band characteristic mode tracking utilizing far-field patterns
Författare
Summary, in English
The Theory of Characteristic Modes provides a convenient tool for designing multi-antennas for MIMO applications, as it enables orthogonal radiation patterns to be excited in a given antenna structure. Moreover, the frequency behavior of the modes reveals interesting wideband properties of the structure. However, the tracking of characteristic modes over frequency remains a challenge, especially when differences between modes are limited to high currents in small regions of the structure. The common approach of tracking characteristic modes is through correlating the modal currents over frequency, this leads to multiple eigenvalues being mapped to the same eigencurrent. In this work, we propose a new approach to track characteristic modes by means of cross correlating far-field patterns, which effectively eliminates the mode mapping ambiguity.
