This book discusses the development of promising technologies for compact antennas for high data-rate communications. It discusses and analyzes the design of compact ultra-wideband (UWB) and multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antennas, providing essential know-how for designers, practicing engineers and scientists.

These wireless communication technologies enable consumers to have convenient access to a wide range of services anytime, anywhere. And the introduction of wireless mobile access points eliminates the limitations to communication imposed by geographical location. The Internet has allowed people to access and share information much more rapidly, but in order to achieve higher data rates with the limited available resources and imposed constraints, wireless communication technology needs to be pushed beyond the physical limits of the propagation channel. This book contributes to achieving this goal.

Provides basic insights into ultra-wideband (UWB) and multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna design and techniques Presents a concise and comprehensive compilation of UWB and MIMO antennas for high-speed communication applications Describes how high-speed communication works through the combination of UWB and MIMO antennas Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
