Outline of Final Research Achievements

In conventional wireless communication systems, only the time domain parameters such as amplitude, frequency and phase are used. However, electromagnetic waves are vector quantity and they have spatial domain parameters, i.e., polarizations and direction of propagation. In this study, new advanced antennas which actively utilize the direction of propagation are investigated to use the spatial parameters effectively.
New advanced planar antennas such as direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation antennas and beam tracking antennas are realized in a simple structure.
