초록

본 논문에서는 PIN 다이오드의 on/off특성을 이용해 공진 주파수가 변하는 정삼각형 마이크로스트립 안테나를 제안하였다. PIN 다이오드가 off 상태에서는 T 형태 스퍼라인(Spur-line)의 영향으로 스퍼라인 주위로 전류가 돌아서 흐르기 때문에 안테나의 공진 주파수가 1.22 GHz를 보였으나, PIN 다이오드가 on상태일 때는 T형의 스퍼라인이 I 형태 슬롯라인(Slot-line)으로 바뀌고, 이 I 형태의 슬롯라인에 의해 전류가 영향을 덜 받아서 안테나의 공진 주파수가 1.82 GHz를 나타내었고, 이는 일반적인 정삼각형 마이크로스트져 안테나와 공진 주파수와 차이가 거의 없었다. 제안한 안테나는 PIN다이오드가 on, off상태에서 모두 교차 편파가 -20 dB미만의 방사패턴을 가진 선형 편파 특성을 나타내었다.

In this paper a novel design of equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna using PIN diode fur switching the resonant frequency is presented and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna has changed the resonant frequency by length of spur-lines on the patch, and PIN diodes are utilized to switch the spur-line on and off. The shape of the spur-line is changed according to the on and off states of PIN diode and the equilateral triangular microstrip antenna has different resonant frequencies in accordance with them. The resonant frequency is 1.22 GHz with off states since the surface currents flow the periphery of T shape spur-lines, while the resonant frequency is 1.82 GHz with on states since the surface currents are little effect with the conventional equilateral triangular microstrip antenna. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna has a good linear polarization with the cross polarization of -20 dB both with on and off states.
