Student to present paper at international conference in Spain

(XJTLU, China - 8 th July 2010)The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 2010 Sixth International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Communications (ICWMC) to be held in Valencia, Spain, and will include an undergraduate final year project dissertation by an XJTLU 4th year student.

Jianwei Hang, from Telecommunication Engineering, edited the paper titled Design, Investigation and Optimization of a Compact UWB Antenna . This is his second publications within his four years. Once again he is under the guidance of Dr. Eng Gee Lim and Dr. Zhao Wang, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

The ICWMC Conference will be held between the 20th and 25th of September, addressing wireless related topics concerning integration of latest technological advances to realise mobile and ubiquitous service environments for advanced applications and services in wireless networks. All papers were stringently screened by IEEE, with exceptional papers to be indexed by SCI, the majority of which are edited by Postgraduates and doctoral students in the relevant fields.

The paper is indexed directly by IEEE, which manifests the strong teaching strength, quality teaching and the unique educational model of XJTLU. It will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by Ei Compendex and ISTP.

The paper states; A simple, low-profile, and wideband planar antenna with a pure rectangular radiator fed by a simple 50 microstrip line for multiple applications is designed. By investigating the feeding position and ground plane size, the antenna is properly designed to have a very wide bandwidth covering the whole FCC (Federal Communications Commission of United States) allocated ultra-wideband. Due to the additional patch underneath the radiator at a proper position, the bandwidth can be further increased towards the lower side of the frequency spectrum. This antenna is finally modified to have a bandwidth ranging from 2GHz-11.3GHz, which satisfies the system requirements for SDMB, WiBro, WLAN, CMMB and the entire UWB with S1, 1 <-10dB.
