Biography

Raed Abd-Alhameed (M’02, SM’13) received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Basrah University, Basrah, Iraq, in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, U.K., in 1997, all in electrical engineering. He is Professor of Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Engineering at the University of Bradford, UK. He has long years’ research experience in the areas of Radio Frequency, Signal Processing, propagations, antennas and electromagnetic computational techniques, and has published over 500 academic journal and conference papers; in addition, he is co-authors of three books and several book chapters. At the present he is the leader of Radio Frequency, Propagation, sensor design and Signal Processing; in addition to leading the Communications research group for years within the School of Engineering and Informatics, Bradford University, UK. He is Principal Investigator for several funded applications to EPSRCs and leader of several successful knowledge Transfer Programmes such as with Arris 0278-0046 (c) 2016 IEEE.

The multi-path fading environment is a major challenge of UWB devices. So, a MIMO system is one of the importance techniques which exploited to mitigate such problems. In this research, a MIMO system with eight ports consists of four antenna elements has proposed. Y-shaped of patch microstrip has chosen to design each element to enhance the bandwidth of the proposed system. In order to achieve a good isolation, the geometry of the ground layer of the proposed antenna element has based on quasi-self-complementary structure. The proposed model has a compact size because it facilitates with dual polarized ports which increase the capacity and maintaining an acceptable size. The results are show that a bandwidth of 2.06 GHz has obtained with operating frequency of 8.73 GHz for single elements and the integrated MIMO system when excited simultaneously.
