Abstract

The combination of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology offers several advantages, including reduced interference, improved isolation, and optimized dual paths. These benefits extend the range and enhance signal quality. However, designing UWB-MIMO antennas presents challenges, such as achieving low mutual coupling for high isolation and creating small-sized antennas suitable for portable devices while being effective for UWB frequencies in a MIMO configuration. The proposed antenna is a 4x4 planar MIMO antenna with a hexagon-shaped patch, a partial ground plane featuring an inverted L-stub on the left side, and a plus-shaped slot in the centre ground. It has dimensions of 32 x 32 x 1.6 mm³ and is capable of achieving a wide bandwidth of 3-12.5 GHz. The antenna's performance measurements are impressive: return loss below -10 dB at frequencies of 3-12.5 GHz, mutual coupling below -16.5 dB, Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) bellow 0.005, Diversity gain of more than 9.97, Total Active Reflection Coefficient (TARC) below -10 dB. Based on these results, the proposed antenna offers excellent performance for UWB applications, featuring high efficiency, minimal interference between antenna elements, and optimal diversity performance.

Abstract

The Fiber To The Building (FTTB) technology uses fiber optic cables for high-speed data transmission in high-rise office buildings. However, connection loss in fiber optic cables, especially during network activation, can significantly affect the overall performance and reliability of the FTTB network. This study investigates the effects of connection loss on total attenuation in FTTB networks before and after activation, using Passive Optical Network (PON) technology. Simulations were performed on three subscriber scenarios with different treatments of drop core cables (no connection, one connection, two connections) and patch cord cables of different lengths (3m, 5m, 10m), each with additional variations in the number of connections. Attenuation measurements were taken before and after network activation, showing that increasing cable length and splices leads to higher attenuation and reduced network performance. For example, customer 1 with no connections had the lowest attenuation before activation of 19.68 dB and after activation of 19.57 dB with signal quality (ping ONU 11 ms, ping OLT 9 ms, and ping Google 31 ms) while customer 3 with the most connections had attenuation values before activation of 20.92 dB and after activation of 20.87 dB with signal quality (ping ONU 29 ms, ping OLT 28 ms, and ping Google 70 ms). This research emphasises the importance of link management and the length of cable used to minimize attenuation and ensure optimal network performance.
