Feeding antennas with proper signals can be difficult. The signal is often described as a voltage, and voltages are not well defined in electromagnetic wave formulations. There are several tricks to model voltage generators in such situations, and one is the magnetic frill. This model shows the basic steps of defining a magnetic frill voltage generator for a dipole antenna, and it also compares the resulting antenna impedance with known results.

Firstly, this book is set at a level suitable for senior undergraduate and
postgraduate students who wish to understand the fundamentals and applications
of adaptive array antenna systems. Array fundamentals are described in the text,
and examples which demonstrate theoretical concepts are included throughout
the book, as well as summaries and questions at the end of each chapter.
In this paper, we consider the channel estimation
problem in Millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless systems with
large antenna arrays. By exploiting the inherent sparse nature of
the mmWave channel, we develop a novel rate-adaptive channel
estimation (RACE) algorithm, which can adaptively adjust the
number of required channel measurements based on an expected
probability of estimation error (PEE).
This book gives a comprehensive overview of the technologies for the advances of
mobile radio access networks. The topics covered include linear transmitters,
superconducting filters and cryogenic radio frequency (RF) front head, radio over
fiber, software radio base stations, mobile terminal positioning, high speed
downlink packet access (HSDPA), multiple antenna systems such as smart
antennas and multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) systems, orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, IP-based radio access networks
(RAN), autonomic networks, and ubiquitous networks.
This book has grown out of my teaching and research at the University of Surrey and out of
my previous experiences in companies such as Philips, Ascom and Motorola. It is
primarily intended for use by students in master’s level and enhanced final-year under-
graduate courses who are specialising in communication systems and wish to understand
the principles and current practices of the wireless communication channel, including both
antenna and propagation aspects
When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been
working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for MIMO
wireless communications. Yet, this book should constitute more than a simple combination of these
two domains. It hopefully conveys our integrated understanding of MIMO, which results from endless
controversial discussions on various multi-antenna related issues, as well as various interactions with
numerous colleagues. Obviously, this area of technology is so large that it is beyond our aim to cover all
aspects in details. Rather, our goal is to provide researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students with
a comprehensive coverage of radio propagation models and space–time signal processing techniques
for multi-antenna, multi-user and multi-cell networks.
Due to the asymmetry between the amount of data traffic in the downlink and
uplink direction of nowadays and future wireless networks, a proper design of the
transceivers in the broadcast channel is inevitable in order to satisfy the users’
demands on data rate and transmission quality. This book deals with the optimi-
zation-based joint design of the transmit and receive filters in a MIMO broadcast
channel in which the user terminals may be equipped with several antenna ele-
ments.
