초록

본 논문에서는 코플래너 도파관으로 급전되는 소형 2-소자 준-야기 안테나 설계 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 평면 다이폴을 급전하기 위한 코플래너 스트립과 코플래너 도파관 간의 밸런은 코플래너 도파관의 한 쪽 접지 스트립을 신호선과 연결시켜서 구성하였다. 스트립 다이폴과 반사기를 구부리고 밸런을 안테나에 내장하여 소형화하였다. 제안된 구조를 UHF RFID 대역(902-928 MHz)에 적합하도록 설계하였으며, 여러 가지 파라미터들(다이폴 길이, 반사기 길이, 다이폴과 반사기 사이의 거리, 급전 위치 등)에 의한 영향을 점검하였다. FR4 기판 상에 $90mm{\times}80mm$ 크기의 안테나를 제작하고 특성을 실험한 결과 전압 정재파비가 2이하인 주파수 대역은 885-942 MHz, RFID용 주파수 대역 내 이득은 4.3 dBi 이상, 전후방비 7 dB 이상인 특성을 관찰할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a design method for a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed 2-element quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) is studied. A balun between CPW and coplanar strip (CPS) which feeds a planar dipole is implemented by connecting the one end of ground strips in a CPW to a signal strip. The antenna size is reduced by bent strip dipole and reflector, and an integrated balun. The proposed antenna was designed for the operation in a UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) band of 902-928 MHz, and the effects of various parameters such as dipole length, reflector length, distance between dipole and reflector, feed position were examined. The antenna with a size of $90mm{\times}80mm$ was fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results reveal a frequency band of 885-942 MHz for a voltage standing wave ratio < 2, a gain > 4.3 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 7 dB over the frequency band for the UHF RFID.
