Analysis of integrated UWB MIMO and CR antenna system using transmission line model with functional verification

This paper discusses the equivalent circuit model and functional verification of an integrated antenna system as its main focus. The integrated antenna system consists of two independent antenna systems, namely the Cognitive Radio antenna and the Ultra Wide Band Multiple Iinput Multiple Output antenna. This article is split into two parts: The first part discusses the equivalent circuit of an integrated antenna system by optimizing the RLC values. The developed lumped equivalent circuit model produces the NB resonant frequencies, which is the same as the S-parameter obtained through EM simulation. The second part of this paper aims to discuss the experimental verification of an integrated CR antenna system with Bayesian learning-based spectrum sensing algorithms using Universal Software Radio Peripheral devices. Real-time sensing and communication functionalities are visualized in the LABVIEW monitor. The integrated antenna system is fabricated and measured after the simulation.
