Abstract

This paper discussed on the directive gain improvement method of the U-type ultra wide-band(UWB) planar patch antenna model with CPW feeding. For directive gain improvement, the U-type printed patch antenna model with CPW feeding is reconstructed as a microstrip structure by adding a reflection plane with aperture slot. The reflection coefficient of the reconstructed antenna is less than -6.5 dB(VSWR < 3.3) to the characteristic impedance of $50.08{\Omega}$ and showed the directive radiation patterns with the directive gain of 7.5 dBi ~ 10.1 dBi, the front-back ratio of 17.8 dB ~ 28.7 dB and the range of -3dB radiation angle over ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ to the main beam direction of ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$.

UWB 주파수대역의 안테나로써 CPW 급전의 U-자형 평면 패치 안테나모델의 지향성이득 향상 방법을 검토하였다. 지향성 이득 향상을 위해 CPW 급전의 U-자형 패치 안테나 모델에 개구슬롯 반사면을 부가하여 마이크로스트립 구조로 재구성하였다. 재구성한 안테나는 특성 임피던스 $50.08{\Omega}$에 대해 반사계수는 -6.5dB(VSWR < 3.3)이하이며 지향성이득은 7.8 dBi ~ 9.6 dBi, 전후방비는 17.8dB ~ 28.7dB 그리고 ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$의 주방사 방향에 대해 -3dB 방사각의 범위가 ${\pm}30^{\circ}$의 방사지향성의 패턴을 나타내 보였다.
