1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to a system and method for a horizontally polarized antenna apparatus with selectable elements.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In communications systems, there is an ever-increasing demand for higher data throughput, and a corresponding drive to reduce interference that can disrupt data communications. For example, in an IEEE 802.11 network, an access point (i.e., base station) communicates data with one or more remote receiving nodes (e.g., a network interface card) over a wireless link. The wireless link may be susceptible to interference from other access points and stations (nodes), other radio transmitting devices, changes or disturbances in the wireless link environment between the access point and the remote receiving node, and so on. The interference may be such to degrade the wireless link, for example by forcing communication at a lower data rate, or may be sufficiently strong to completely disrupt the wireless link.
One solution for reducing interference in the wireless link between the access point and the remote receiving node is to provide several omnidirectional antennas, in a "diversity" scheme. For example, a common configuration for the access point comprises a data source coupled via a switching network to two or more physically separated omnidirectional antennas. The access point may select one of the omnidirectional antennas by which to maintain the wireless link. Because of the separation between the omnidirectional antennas, each antenna experiences a different signal environment, and each antenna contributes a different interference level to the wireless link. The switching network couples the data source to whichever of the omnidirectional antennas experiences the least interference in the wireless link.
However, one problem with using two or more omnidirectional antennas for the access point is that typical omnidirectional antennas are vertically polarized. Vertically polarized radio frequency (RF) energy does not travel as efficiently as horizontally polarized RF energy inside a typical office or dwelling space. Typical solutions for creating horizontally polarized RF antennas to date have been expensive to manufacture, or do not provide adequate RF performance to be commercially successful.
A further problem is that the omnidirectional antenna typically comprises an upright wand attached to a housing of the access point. The wand typically comprises a hollow metallic rod exposed outside of the housing, and may be subject to breakage or damage. Another problem is that each omnidirectional antenna comprises a separate unit of manufacture with respect to the access point, thus requiring extra manufacturing steps to include the omnidirectional antennas in the access point. Yet another problem is that the access point with the typical omnidirectional antennas is a relatively large physically, because the omnidirectional antennas extend from the housing.
A still further problem with the two or more omnidirectional antennas is that because the physically separated antennas may still be relatively close to each other, each of the several antennas may experience similar levels of interference and only a relatively small reduction in interference may be gained by switching from one omnidirectional antenna to another omnidirectional antenna.
Another solution to reduce interference involves beam steering with an electronically controlled phased array antenna. However, the phased array antenna can be extremely expensive to manufacture. Further, the phased array antenna can require many phase tuning elements that may drift or otherwise become maladjusted.
In an embodiment of the presently claimed invention, an antenna apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, the second side of the being substantially parallel to the first side. Active antenna elements on one side of the substrate are configured such that they may be coupled to a radio frequency communication device to form a first part of a modified dipole. A ground component on the second side of the substrate forms the second part of the modified dipole. Each modified dipole includes a loading structure that changes the resonance of the dipole. Through this modification, the overall dimension of the dipole may be reduced compared to the dimensions of a dipole absent such loading structures.
In a further claimed embodiment, an antenna element apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes substantially coplanar modified dipoles, each having one or more loading structures that change the resonance of the substantially coplanar modified dipoles. As a result, the dimension of the substantially coplanar modified dipoles may be reduced in comparison to a substantially coplanar modified dipole without corresponding loading structures. The apparatus further includes one or more directors configured to concentrate the radiation pattern of one or more of the substantially coplanar modified dipoles.
The present invention will now be described with reference to drawings that represent a preferred embodiment of the invention. In the drawings, like components have the same reference numerals. The illustrated embodiment is intended to illustrate, but not to limit the invention. The drawings include the following figures:
A system for a wireless (i.e., radio frequency or RF) link to a remote receiving device includes a communication device for generating an RF signal and an antenna apparatus for transmitting and/or receiving the RF signal. The antenna apparatus comprises a plurality of substantially coplanar modified dipoles. Each modified dipole provides gain (with respect to isotropic) and a horizontally polarized directional radiation pattern. Further, each modified dipole has one or more loading structures configured to decrease the footprint (i.e., the physical dimension) of the modified dipole and minimize the size of the antenna apparatus. With all or a portion of the plurality of modified dipoles active, the antenna apparatus forms an omnidirectional horizontally polarized radiation pattern.
Advantageously, the loading structures decrease the size of the antenna apparatus, and allow the system to be made smaller. The antenna apparatus is easily manufactured from common planar substrates such as an FR4 printed circuit board (PCB). Further, the antenna apparatus may be integrated into or conformally mounted to a housing of the system, to minimize cost and size of the system, and to provide support for the antenna apparatus.
As described further herein, a further advantage is that the directional radiation pattern of the antenna apparatus is horizontally polarized, substantially in the plane of the antenna elements. Therefore, RF signal transmission indoors is enhanced as compared to a vertically polarized antenna.
In some embodiments, the modified dipoles comprise individually selectable antenna elements. In these embodiments, each antenna element may be electrically selected (e.g., switched on or off) so that the antenna apparatus may form a configurable radiation pattern. If all elements are switched on, the antenna apparatus forms an omnidirectional radiation pattern. In some embodiments, if two or more of the elements is switched on, the antenna apparatus may form a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern. In such embodiments, the system may select a particular configuration of antenna elements that minimizes interference over the wireless link to the remote receiving device. If the wireless link experiences interference, for example due to other radio transmitting devices, or changes or disturbances in the wireless link between the system and the remote receiving device, the system may select a different configuration of selected antenna elements to change the resulting radiation pattern and minimize the interference. The system may select a configuration of selected antenna elements corresponding to a maximum gain between the system and the remote receiving device. Alternatively, the system may select a configuration of selected antenna elements corresponding to less than maximal gain, but corresponding to reduced interference in the wireless link.
The system 100 includes a communication device 120 (e.g., a transceiver) and an antenna apparatus 110. The communication device 120 comprises virtually any device for generating and/or receiving an RF signal. The communication device 120 may include, for example, a radio modulator/demodulator for converting data received into the system 100 (e.g., from the router) into the RF signal for transmission to one or more of the remote receiving nodes. In some embodiments, for example, the communication device 120 comprises well-known circuitry for receiving data packets of video from the router and circuitry for converting the data packets into 802.11 compliant RF signals.
As described further herein, the antenna apparatus 110 comprises a plurality of modified dipoles. Each of the antenna elements provides gain (with respect to isotropic) and a horizontally polarized directional radiation pattern.
In embodiments with individually selectable antenna elements, each antenna element may be electrically selected (e.g., switched on or off) so that the antenna apparatus 110 may form a configurable radiation pattern. The antenna apparatus 110 may include an antenna element selecting device configured to selectively couple one or more of the antenna elements to the communication device 120.

On the second side of the substrate, depicted as dashed lines in
To minimize or reduce the size of the antenna apparatus 110, each of the modified dipoles (e.g. the antenna element 205 a and the portion 225 a of the ground component 225) incorporates one or more loading structures 210. For clarity of illustration, only the loading structures 210 for the modified dipole formed from the antenna element 205 a and the portion 225 a are numbered in
Referring to
In the embodiment of
In some embodiments, the antenna components (e.g., the antenna elements 205 a-205 d, the ground component 225, and the directors 210) are formed from RF conductive material. For example, the antenna elements 205 a-205 d and the ground component 225 may be formed from metal or other RF conducting material. Rather than being provided on opposing sides of the substrate as shown in
In an exemplary embodiment for wireless LAN in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard, the antenna apparatus 110 is designed to operate over a frequency range of about 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz. With all four antenna elements 205 a-205 d selected to result in an omnidirectional radiation pattern, the combined frequency response of the antenna apparatus 110 is about 90 MHz. In some embodiments, coupling more than one of the antenna elements 205 a-205 d to the radio frequency feed port 220 maintains a match with less than 10 dB return loss over 802.11 wireless LAN frequencies, regardless of the number of antenna elements 205 a-205 d that are switched on.
The radiation patterns 300, 305, and 310 of

Not depicted is an elevation radiation pattern for the antenna apparatus 110 of
An advantage of the antenna apparatus 110 is that due to the loading elements 210, the antenna apparatus 110 is reduced in size. Accordingly, the system 100 comprising the antenna apparatus 110 may be reduced in size. Another advantage is that the antenna apparatus 110 may be constructed on PCB so that the entire antenna apparatus 110 can be easily manufactured at low cost. One embodiment or layout of the antenna apparatus 110 comprises a square or rectangular shape, so that the antenna apparatus 110 is easily panelized.
A further advantage is that, in some embodiments, the antenna elements 205 are each selectable and may be switched on or off to form various combined radiation patterns for the antenna apparatus 110. For example, the system 100 communicating over the wireless link to the remote receiving node may select a particular configuration of selected antenna elements 205 that minimizes interference over the wireless link. If the wireless link experiences interference, for example due to other radio transmitting devices, or changes or disturbances in the wireless link between the system 100 and the remote receiving node, the system 100 may select a different configuration of selected antenna elements 205 to change the radiation pattern of the antenna apparatus 110 and minimize the interference in the wireless link. The system 100 may select a configuration of selected antenna elements 205 corresponding to a maximum gain between the system and the remote receiving node. Alternatively, the system may select a configuration of selected antenna elements 205 corresponding to less than maximal gain, but corresponding to reduced interference. Alternatively, all or substantially all of the antenna elements 205 may be selected to form a combined omnidirectional radiation pattern.
A further advantage of the antenna apparatus 110 is that RF signals travel better indoors with horizontally polarized signals. Typically, network interface cards (NICs) are horizontally polarized. Providing horizontally polarized signals with the antenna apparatus 110 improves interference rejection (potentially, up to 20 dB) from RF sources that use commonly-available vertically polarized antennas.
Another advantage of the system 100 is that the antenna apparatus 110 includes switching at RF as opposed to switching at baseband. Switching at RF means that the communication device 120 requires only one RF up/down converter. Switching at RF also requires a significantly simplified interface between the communication device 120 and the antenna apparatus 110. For example, the antenna apparatus 110 provides an impedance match under all configurations of selected antenna elements, regardless of which antenna elements are selected. In one embodiment, a match with less than 10 dB return loss is maintained under all configurations of selected antenna elements, over the range of frequencies of the 802.11 standard, regardless of which antenna elements are selected.
A still further advantage of the system 100 is that, in comparison for example to a phased array antenna with relatively complex phasing of elements, switching for the antenna apparatus 110 is performed to form the combined radiation pattern by merely switching antenna elements on or off. No phase variation, with attendant phase matching complexity, is required in the antenna apparatus 110.
Yet another advantage of the antenna apparatus 110 on PCB is that the minimized antenna apparatus 110 does not require a 3-dimensional manufactured structure, as would be required by a plurality of "patch" antennas needed to form an omnidirectional antenna.
The invention has been described herein in terms of several preferred embodiments.

The embodiments and preferred features described above should be considered exemplary, with the invention being defined by the appended claims, which therefore include all such alternatives, modifications, permutations and equivalents as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Stanbic IBTC Bank, a member of the Standard Bank group has called on governments at all levels, organised private sector, farmers and financial institutions embrace agriculture in a sustainable manner to ensure that Nigeria through increased output will find its way out of the present economic recession in the country.
Speaking at the 2016 Stanbic IBTC Leadership forum held in Lagos over the weekend, Chief Executive Officer, Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, Mrs Sola David-Borha, said despite negative growth in several sectors of the economy, agriculture was the only sector that grew by 4.5 per cent, suggesting that with renewed focus, the sector is capable of helping the Nigerian economy wriggle out of recession.
According to her, the focus on agriculture is understandable; as the sector and its value chain have the potential to create millions of jobs, especially as over 70 per cent of Nigeria's population is engaged in agriculture-related activities.
"We all know that agriculture is capable of creating millions of jobs across the entire value chain, drive export and much needed foreign exchange. I think the real challenge for us is unlocking opportunities that exist and making everything that we have been talking about a reality so that agriculture will be contributing to GDP across all its value chain.
"In Stanbic IBTC, we consider agriculture a key sector and we play across the entire value chain by providing financing, advisory services, partnerships and facilitate the process of acquiring machinery for commercial agriculture," she said.
David-Borha further explained that agriculture is not about growing deposits but about providing the right type of financing across the entire value chain and other transactions follows. She said it is not for the faint-hearted, but require capital, patience and commitment to see it through, adding that the new drive into agriculture will go a long way in supporting federal government towards the drive to economic diversification.
Titled GEMS in the field, the Stanbic IBTC Business Leadership conference in Nigeria specifically focused on building a vibrant and sustainable agricultural sector in Nigeria.
Earlier, David-Borha the lender remains dedicated to providing platforms for showcasing Nigeria's economic potential while availing investors accurate information with which they can make informed decisions on the economy. In addition, Stanbic IBTC Bank will remain in the forefront of providing bespoke products and initiatives that significantly impact on the whole agricultural value chain, David-Borha said.
Kola Masha, Managing Director, Doreo Partners, an agriculture-focused investment firm, said through an approach known as 'Babban Gona,' a Hausa word for great farmer, his firm has been able to provide financing and advisory services to millions of farmers across the country.
He said experience has shown that even though the farmers has "no formal addresses, no bank account, no financial history, no phone, can barely read and write," the firm has recorded a credit repayment rate of 99.9 percent from the farmers, adding that with new approaches to agriculture, Nigeria can be the next Brazil in the nearest future.
Jason Drew, South African farmer and eco-entrepreneur, who achieved global fame by creating a thriving enterprise via the cultivation of maggots, also said there is need to approach agriculture in a way that takes care of not only the present, but the environment and the future, stressing that industrial revolution is over and "sustainable revolution is here."
Now in its third year, the 2016 edition's keynote speakers participated in a panel discussion and engaged the audience in discussions covering the economy, and agriculture in particular, sharing their insight and expertise on how to build a vibrant and sustainable agricultural sector in Nigeria.
Building on the resounding success of the previous editions, this year's theme reflected the large changes expected to occur in Nigeria's agricultural sector, as the country moves towards diversification, while highlighting opportunities that investors and businesses can tap into.
The maiden edition of Stanbic IBTC Business Leadership Series was headlined by entrepreneur and motivational speaker Vusi Thembekwayo, and founder of online retail chain, Konga, Sim Shagaya, while the second edition had as guest speakers, South African rocket scientist, motivational speaker and innovator, Siyabulela Xusa, and CEO and Founder of Interswitch Limited, Mr. Mitchel Elegbe.

Product Description:
These songs were originally released 1980-1988.
In the wake of the successful MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT, the Psychedelic Furs recorded a new track, "All that Money Wants," with producer Stephen Street and added it to their compilation album, ALL OF THIS AND NOTHING. In addition to the new track, the collection includes several tracks from each of their first four albums and one from the MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT. Though no doubt fans will be able to quibble endlessly about certain omissions, the thing to keep in mind is that the Furs recorded a lot of amazing material, and nothing here is less than great.
Though not presented in chronological order, the tracks here show the band's progression from their punk roots (their self-titled debut) though a suave, slickly commercial phase (MIRROR MOVES and MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT) and to the birth of a new sound that incorporates both of the previous ones ("All that Money Wants," which shows the way to the band's last two albums, BOOK OF DAYS and WORLD OUTSIDE). Standouts include the blustery "Imitation of Christ," the alternately smooth and jagged sounds of "Love My Way," and the gorgeous exploding chorus of "Heartbreak Beat." All in all, this is a nicely compiled introduction to the Furs.

Foundation (Gr 11-12)
Columbia College's Grade 11 & 12 University Foundation Programs are for university-bound students who wish to complete Grade 11 or 12 in Canada, leading to a British Columbia High School diploma or certificate.
Programs include:
The College also offers a University Preparatory Program, for students who have finished high school but lack certain high school courses needed for direct entry to a University Transfer or Associate Degree Program.
Transfer Standing
Many students are eligible to receive "transfer standing" (TS) credit for courses taken before entering Columbia College. TS will be granted for courses that are considered equivalent to the established provincial or board authorized course.
An overseas student who transfers into a Foundation Program may be eligible for advanced placement at the Grade 11 or 12 levels if TS credit has been granted in the prerequisite Grade 10 or 11 course. TS will normally be granted for:
- Hong Kong Certificate of Education (minimum grade D) or equivalent in the New Academic Structure
- Indonesian SMU II (minimum grade 7)
- SijilPelajaran Malaysia (SPM or MCE) (minimum grade C)
- Singapore GCSE/GCE 'O' Level (minimum grade C or 6)
Transfer standing for a Language 11/12 will be granted as specified by the Ministry of Education. Transfer standing will be awarded only if official final results are presented.
Provincial Examinations
Provincial examinations may be written at Columbia College in January, April or May, June and/or August. Students in the Senior Secondary Program must write English 10, Mathematics 10, Science 10, Social Studies 11 and Language Arts 12 (English 12 or Communications 12).
Required provincial exams should be written at the first available opportunity. Students wishing to write a provincial exam must inform their counselor and pay a $50.00 registration fee per exam. This fee will be refunded to the student once they write the exam. Students who fail to turn up for a registered exam will forfeit the $50.00. Students who score lower than 40% on the School Mark in an examinable subject will not be permitted to write the provincial exam in that subject.
Mathematics Courses
Any one of the three grade 11 mathematics courses (Precalculus 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11 or Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics 11) can be used to fulfill Senior Secondary graduation requirements in British Columbia. As university admission generally requires Precalculus 11, Columbia College has chosen to offer only this grade 11 Mathematics course on a regular basis.
Dual Credit
The BC Ministry of Education allows students to take courses at recognized post-secondary institutions and count these courses as four-credit non-subject specific grade 12 courses towards completion of the requirements for high school graduation, while at the same time receiving full university transfer credit.
Students nearing completion of the Senior Secondary, Adult Secondary or Columbia College's High School Completion Programs may take university-level courses at Columbia College (except foreign languages) provided prerequisites and university entrance requirements have been met. Students require 60% on four academic grade 12 courses or 67% on at least two academic grade 12 subjects if less than four have been completed, in order to register in a dual credit course. Dual credit courses will receive 3 university transfer credits as well as 4 secondary credits. For example, a student may register in Economics 101, and upon successful completion, will earn 3 university credits (entered on the transcript as ECON 101) together with 4 secondary credits (entered as PSIAD 12). Students may count only one PSIAD 12 as an academic grade 12 course in their foundation program; additional PSIAD courses may be taken as elective foundation credits. There is a supplementary fee for courses taken as dual credit.

The Beer: Anchor Christmas Ale
From the same brewery that brings you the venerable Anchor Steam Beer comes a Christmas Ale. "Our Special Ale" as it is also known, is a hand-crafted, full-bodied "Winter Warmer" that pours a deep mahogany color. The top-secret recipe changes from year to year, as does the hand-crafted label, but the flavor is always chock full of holiday spices, evident in both the nose and taste.
This ale is special indeed: It's velvety in texture, without that post-sip, post-swallow chalkiness that some ales leave behind. The malt presence combines nicely with a fruity essence of cherries, raisins, and dates.
The Food
Winter Warmers, such as this offering from Anchor, pair well with poultry -- a staple during the holidays -- as well as more gamey meats, if that's your thing. And if you're serving pumpkin pie, you're in for a real treat, as this ale will be a fine complement to your delish dessert.

text: Good morning gentlemen, I have a few questions about being a platoon commander in one of the incremental companies. 1. I gather that newly minted guardsmen in the Grenadier, Coldstream or Scots Guards start off in one of these companies before being posted to the battalion. Is this the same for officers? Is it compulsory to do a stint at some point or can you remain in the battalion for your entire commission? 2. What exactly does a platoon commander do in an incremental company other than the obvious public duties preparation? 3. How different is it from being with the main body of the regiment? Many thanks, MadeUp

Poet Artie Moffa — formerly of Boston, currently of San Francisco — is an odd guy, sometimes. For instance, he's remarkably even-keeled in "When The Aliens Ransacked My Room," where he details a strangely personal extraterrestrial invasion.
Likewise, on "Ode to Alan Young, Fauxtown Legend," he vivisects a conman who pretends to be a Motown legend, and in the process, casts a shadow on people who take him at his word and buy into the con. It's bizarre territory, even by poetry standards, but Moffa delivers it with a straight face, and makes the unusual so inviting, you want to believe him. Artie Moffa performs for The Dirty Gerund Poetry Series 9 p.m. April 8 at Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner, 148 Grove St., Worcester. (Victor D. Infante)

The Vancouver Art Gallery presents exhibitions of work by artists ranging from historic masters to leading-edge contemporaries. These include major thematic exhibitions, presentations of solo artists and smaller, more focused showcases. In a typical year, 2 to 3 exhibitions are borrowed from other institutions and 10 to 12 exhibitions are developed in-house, drawing on our permanent collection and loans of works from around the world. In addition, the Gallery tours a few of its exhibitions each year.

single channel video projection with sound
Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery,
Gift of Claudia Beck and Andrew Gruft
|Beginning in the late 1970s artists such as Ian Wallace, Jeff Wall, Christos Dikeakos and Rodney Graham developed intellectually rigorous approaches to photography. Breaking with the romantic landscape tradition that dominated art making and collecting in Vancouver well into the 1970s, they developed practices that both articulated an affinity with the avant-garde projects of early modernism and uniquely acknowledged the specific place and historical moment in which they were working.
Comprised primarily of work from the Gallerys collection, the exhibition will include photographs and video work made over the past twenty-five years that build upon this conceptual framework while picturing the built environment and the vast natural landscape that makes up much of this province. Artists included in the exhibition include Roy Arden, Karin Bubas, Stan Douglas, Rodney Graham, Marian Penner Bancroft, Sandra Semchuk and James Nicholas, Henri Robideau, Althea Thauberger, Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace and Paul Wong, among others.
Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and curated by Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art.

Declining productivity of food crops in developing countries is associated with several factors including poor adoption of improved technologies against pests and parasites destroying crops with developmental implications on food insecurity and poverty. This study has been undertaken to contribute to the understanding of farm-level adoption dynamics and economic impacts of improved agricultural technologies. This study was done using a case of imazapyr-resistant maize, a novel technology for combating noxious Striga weed which has devastating effects on maize production in western Kenya.

The New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority and the New Jersey Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators wish you a Happy New Year!
Because many colleges and universities give priority consideration and award packages to students who complete their FAFSA by January 31, HESAA and NJASFAA would like you to remind your senior class that the 2017 ‒ 2018 FAFSA should be completed as soon as possible. Although many of your students may have already completed the FAFSA, others still have not. Processing can take several weeks. The earlier your seniors apply, the earlier they can make informed decisions about their college selection.
Please direct your seniors and their families to our website pages at www.HESAA.org and www.NJFAFSADays.org .There, they will find a YouTube video on how to file the FAFSA, information on how to create an FSAid (Federal Student Aid ID) and the 8 Steps to Apply for Federal & State Student Aid. Also featured online is a helpful PDF file provided in both English and Spanish. Feel free to print and distribute these flyers to your seniors as appropriate.
If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Austin at email@example.com or 609-588-3300, ext. 1402.

The hand is an amazingly complex and intricate instrument. As a primary means
by which people manipulate things in the environment the hand and upper limb
are prone to damage and injury. Function follows form. As such any underlying
pathology of the hand or injury can have a major impact on a person's ability to
interact within their environment or to engage in their occupations of choice.
This paper offers physiotherapy and occupational therapy practitioners the
opportunity to explore a wide range of hand and upper limb problems and to
learn from expert clinicians and each other how to assess and manage some of
the common hand injuries and impairments.
The paper is a full year enrolment and runs through semesters one and two. In
2017 this begins on the 6th March. There are three on-campus weekends when
you will need to come to Auckland. Dates for 2017 are 6-9th April, 5-9th July and
20th -23rd September. In between these on-site block courses you study
extramurally with readings, online discussion and assignment preparation.
