Abstract
Dette speciale adresserer udfordringen ved at integrere flere antenner tæt i mobile enheder, hvor gensidig kobling kan forringe isolation, korrelation og samlet effektivitet i MIMO‑systemer. Projektets forskningsspørgsmål er, hvordan man kan reducere den gensidige kobling mellem antenner uden at forringe andre centrale ydeevneparametre. Der designeres to Planar Inverted‑F Antennas (PIFA) på en finit jordplan, der repræsenterer en mobiltelefons PCB, og de tilpasses til forskellige frekvensbånd (bl.a. UMTS og DCS). Ved hjælp af en Finite‑Difference Time‑Domain (FDTD) kode (AAU3 i Matlab) simuleres og vurderes forskellige løsninger til at øge isolation og reducere kobling, herunder konfigurationer med dielektriske materialer. Rapporten analyserer desuden, hvordan en brugerhånd påvirker systemet, herunder dets afstemning og effektivitet. Resultaterne præsenteres som sammenligninger af isolation, gensidig kobling, korrelation og total effektivitet for de undersøgte konfigurationer, og implikationer for antennedesign i håndsæt diskuteres. Konkrete talmæssige resultater fremgår ikke af det givne uddrag.
This thesis addresses the challenge of integrating multiple closely spaced antennas in mobile devices, where mutual coupling can degrade isolation, correlation, and overall efficiency in MIMO systems. The core research question is how to reduce mutual coupling between antennas without compromising other key performance metrics. Two Planar Inverted‑F Antennas (PIFAs) are designed on a finite ground plane that represents a mobile phone PCB, and tuned for different frequency bands (including UMTS and DCS). Using a Finite‑Difference Time‑Domain (FDTD) code (AAU3 in Matlab), the work simulates and evaluates approaches to increase isolation and reduce coupling, including configurations with dielectric materials. The study also examines the effect of a user’s hand on the system, such as detuning and efficiency changes. Results are presented as comparisons of isolation, mutual coupling, correlation, and total efficiency across the investigated configurations, with implications for handset antenna design discussed. Specific quantitative findings are not provided in the excerpt.
