Reconfigurable multi-band antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications

In recent technology, multiple wireless access network types are used in heterogeneous networks. This wireless networks are integrated to complement each other in terms of coverage, data rate, mobility support and price. A single device can be integrated with multiple wireless protocol such as Wirel...

Electronics Nuclear engineering In recent technology, multiple wireless access network types are used in heterogeneous networks. This wireless networks are integrated to complement each other in terms of coverage, data rate, mobility support and price.
