Such applications include 3G cellular (e.g. CDMA2000 evolutions), IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.16 and Bluetooth. The antenna should be deployable at a cellular base station, cellular mobile unit, Bluetooth unit, a wireless LAN access point or portable unit.\u00a0 IEEE 802.16 base station or portable device applications can also be implemented.\t\u00a0\t\u00a0\tIV.PROCEDURE\t\u00a0\tA. \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0 Resources\tWell known classical antenna design procedures for various antenna types are available from Internet resources and texts such as The ARRL Antenna Book.\u00a0 Consult these resources as you proceed with your design as this will not only expedite the process but assure that your chosen design parameters meet with FCC specifications.\t\u00a0\tRefer to the FCC Part 15 documentation and other applicable documents to make sure your design parameters meet the FCC stipulated limits.\tThe parameters of primary interest include: Operating Frequency, Directivity, Radiation Pattern, and Gain.\u00a0 For any application for which you choose to design, investigate the parameters as stipulated by the FCC.\u00a0 You must include these applicable parameters in your report.\t\u00a0\tB. \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0 Antenna Choice\t\u00a0\tWork with your instructor to choose an antenna to design so that the class develops a variety of solutions.\u00a0 Your report must support your choice of antenna, that is, you must give the reasons why a particular antenna type was chosen.\tFor example, for a cell phone, the antenna dimension, aesthetic beauty, and omni-directivity may be the most important factors influencing your design choice.\u00a0\u00a0 However, for an antenna to be deployed at a cellular base station, features such as directivity, wide operating bandwidth and capability to radiate signals of relatively high power may be the primary factors around which your design is centered.\u00a0 As you can see, you need to consider technical aspects along with practicality when designing your antenna.\u00a0 The following table should help in understanding your choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
