مختصر البحثThis paper analyses the signals propagation characteristics and the most important obstacles that encountered these signals when transmitted from outdoor to indoor (O2I) antennas for the college buildings. These buildings consists of several floors and built in the 3D form according to the real dimensions. In this study, we used measurement analysis and a ray-tracing simulation model approach based on the use of the Wireless InSite (WI) software. The use of different frequencies related to the fifth generation (5G) which are 10, 17, 30 and 60 GHz. According to the results that appeared, it is observed the increase in frequency will lead to an increase in path loss, decrease the received signal strength (RSS). There is an inverse relationship between frequency increase and delay spread and an inverse relationship between frequency increase and received power. In addition, we noticed that there is a direct correlation between frequency increase and path loss, where increasing frequency will increase the path loss, decrease delay spread and received power. Finally, the building's barriers work on obstructing the direction of the signals path and dispersion of the received signal strength (RSS).

مختصر البحثIn this work, a dual-band compact MIMO antenna for sub-6 GHz 5G applications has been designed, simulated, and implemented. Firstly, a single patch antenna was designed and simulated, and its dimensions were adjusted to exhibit a dual band performance at 3.6 GHz and 5.9 GHz. A twoelement MIMO structure was then designed with a defected ground structure, and the S-parameters were recorded. The results showed that the designed MIMO antenna exhibited multiband performance at the sub-6G frequency band with almost omnidirectional radiation pattern and acceptable gain. The achieved results are promising, making the proposed antenna a good candidate for 5G applications. The proposed antennas were fabricated, and their basic parameters such as return loss and radiation pattern were tested experimentally and compared with simulation results. An acceptable agreement was achieved between measurement and simulation results.

مختصر البحثIn this paper, we present a new design for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with four ports operating in wide and multi-millimeter-wave (Mm-Wave) bands for various 5G applications (including the internet of things (IoT), communication devices, and smartphones). The antenna is designed in a rectangular zigzag shape with slots to make the antenna operate at different frequencies. For this, the antenna operates at multiple frequencies from 38 to 62 GHz, so it supports all advanced wireless communication applications. The most important characteristic of the design is its small size and compact structure compared to designs presented by researchers in previous literature so the antenna dimensions for four elements are 29×49 mm2. The antenna performance based on the results obtained from CST Studio Suite is good since the reflection coefficients of the antenna resonate at six main frequencies are 39.128 GHz, 42.992 GHz, 47.384 GHz, 51.536 GHz, 55.472 GHz, and 59.288 GHz. In addition, the isolation value between all antenna elements is ≤30 dB and the diversity gain value for all frequencies is 10 dB. Moreover, a very small value was obtained for the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is <4.0576×10−11. Finally, the results indicate a favorable design and potential competitor for all 5G MIMO Mm-Wave applications.

مختصر البحثIn this paper, we propose a new design for a four-ports Multiple-Inputs Multiple-Outputs (MIMO) antenna. The main aim behind this work in this paper is to present an antenna with a smaller size compared to the designs presented by researchers in previous works, and it operates in the wide and multi-bands required by most advanced communication systems. The structural scenario of this antenna is square-shaped designed using the CST Studio Suite with real dimensions of 36 mm× 36 mm and a thickness of 1.6 mm. This antenna carries both wide and multi bands and operates in the Millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) spectrum. This antenna has been designed to be suitable for all the fifth-generation (5G) communication applications. Based on the results obtained from the CST, it is observed that the impedance bandwidth of the MIMO antenna system is from 39 to 75 GHz. In addition, the antenna gave excellent results as each antenna in the MIMO configuration works independently because the isolation ratio among all ports is greater than 24.539 dB, and it reaches 43 dB at a frequency of 71 GHz. Moreover, a set of key performance measures of the MIMO antenna were analyzed, the most important which is the Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) and found that the ECC value is less than 0.00075. So, this value is very small compared to the ECC values that were presented in previous researches.

مختصر البحثDesign and implementation of wireless local area network for the specific region with fifth-generation (5G) networks is one possibility to reach high speed, low power, and low latency. 5G technology is expected to officially launch across the world in the near future. As a contribution, the propagation of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) at different frequencies including 28, 39, 60 and 73 GHz has been studied in this paper. Wireless InSite program has been used to form a deterministic model for outdoor propagation in a specific campus according to the real geometric dimensions. The appropriate location has been identified for the transmitter that has a directional antenna. The surround receivers have been divided and distributed into two groups; the first located in a place without any barriers between them and the transmitter called LOS (Line-of-Sight). In contrast, the second group of the receivers is located in front of barriers that causing multiple reflections which called NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight). In this paper, simulation of wave propagation has been modeled with including the essential parameters of waves such as path loss, delay spread and received power. Overall, the obtained results show that LOS has a high receiving capacity and fewer path losses than NLOS. In addition to that, we find that high frequencies like 73 GHz have greater effects than low frequencies on the propagation of the waves.

مختصر البحثCurrent demand for wireless communications is increasing continuously, especially on localization services in determining optimal transmitter location through intelligent wireless communications. Using Received Signal Strength (RSS), the determination of the optimal transmitter location is realized. In this paper, we simulate a model for a case study, where the Wireless InSite program has been used to investigate the wave propagation with the reasonable RSS. Different locations of directional antenna transmitters have been selected to get a better coverage area in the selected case study using multiomnidirectional antenna receivers. An algorithm was formulated using the MATLAB program to determine Average Signal Quality (ASQ), Average Received Power (ARP) and the probability of the best receiver points. We find significant effects of the changing of the location of the transmitter which affected by environment including the presence of barriers and its related material properties.
