Unnecessary Power Radiation Suppression Technique using a Transmit Antenna Directivity Control in Ubiquitous Communication Environments

This paper propose an unnecessary radiation power suppressing technique to electromagnetically restricted areas in ubiquitous communication environments. An adaptive array antenna is employed in each terminal to control a directivity of transmit antenna not to radiate unnecessary power to the electromagnetically restricted areas while keeping sufficient gain to a target terminal. To identify angle of departures to the electromagnetically restricted areas, a radio power sensor network is assumed. Moreover, channel sounding based delay profile estimation is conducted to identify the strongest path direction for the desired signal. Based on the identified strongest path for the desired signal and the direction of the unwanted radiation detected using the radio power sensor network, artificial delay profile for a transmitted signal is created, and antenna directivity for the transmitted signal is created using a deep and wide null creation technique based on the artificial delay profile. Computer simulation confirms that the unnecessary radiation to the electromagnetically restricted areas is sufficiently suppressed while keeping throughput at a satisfactory level.
