Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to show the applications of innovative reconfigurable antenna methodologies for the 4G devices. Microwave antenna technology can be very useful for the 4G devices, because these products will require high bandwidth and high velocity channel with respect to conventional antennas. This chapter presents a complete picture of possible applications of advanced microwave technologies for 4G devices and systems, it includes methodologies, such as phased and fully adaptive arrays, innovative multiple-Input and multiple-output (MIMO) antennas based on compact rotmans lenses or butler matrix, and the development of innovate reconfigurable antenna based on reconfigurable parasitic structures. The chapter ends with some conclusions and considerations related to ideas for future works.
