Abstract

In this paper, an EBG(Electromagnetic BandGap) resonator antenna with a stripline type FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) superstrate for PCS-band base station antennas is proposed. The characteristics of resonant frequency and -3dB bandwidth of a unit cell of a superstrate are first analyzed by varing several design parameters such as a strip width and a unit cell width in order to design an EBG resonator antenna satisfying the required antenna gain and bandwidth for PCS-band base station antennas. Among various unit cell shapes, strip dipole and stripline are considered and their characteristics are compared. It was found that a resonant length of the EBG resonator antenna becomes smaller when the stripline shape is used and the control of the bandwidth is also much easier. By using the unit cell simulation results, planar and cylindrical EBG resonator antennas at PCS-band are designed.

본 논문에서는 스트립라인 형태의 주파수 선택적 표면 덮개층을 이용하여 PCS대역의 기지국 안테나로 사용될 수 있는 EBG 공진기 안테나를 제안하였다. PCS대역의 기지국 안테나에서 요구되는 안테나 이득과 대역폭을 가지는 EBG 공진기 안테나를 설계하기 위하여 덮개층 주기 구조의 단위 셀 시뮬레이션을 이용한 다양한 설계 파라미터의 변화에 따른 공진주파수 및 대역폭의 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 여러 구조들 중에서 많이 사용되는 스트립다이폴과 스트립라인 구조의 특성을 비교하였으며, 스트립라인 구조가 스트립다이폴 구조에 비해서 EBG 공진기의 공진 길이가 더 짧고 대역폭 조정이 더 쉬움을 알 수 있었다. 단위 셀 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용하여 PCS대역을 만족하는 평면구조의 EBG 공진기 안테나와 원통형 EBG 공진기 안테나를 설계하였다.
