Abstract

In this paper, a design method for a compact double dipole quasi-Yagi antenna with a V-shaped ground plane operating in dual bands including 2.45 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN frequency bands is studied. First, a quasi-Yagi antenna operating in the 2.45 GHz band is designed, and a V-shaped ground plane is used instead of a conventional strip ground plane to reduce the length of the antenna. A second dipole is connected to the dipole driver of the quasi-Yagi antenna for 2.45 GHz band and a director is appended for 5 GHz band operation. A prototype of the proposed dual-band antenna operating at 2.45 GHz WLAN band and 4.57-7.11 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 40 mm by 55 mm. Fabricated antenna shows frequency bands of 2.33-2.75 GHz and 4.38-7.5 GHz for a voltage standing wave ratio less than 2. Measured gain remains more than 4 dBi in both bands.

본 논문에서는 V-형 접지면을 갖고 2.45 GHz와 5 GHz 무선 랜 주파수 대역을 포함하는 이중 대역에서 동작하는 소형 이중 다이폴 준-야기 안테나의 설계 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 먼저 2.45 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 준-야기 안테나를 설계한 후, 기존의 스트립 접지면 대신 V-모양 접지면을 사용하여 안테나의 길이를 줄여 소형화하였다. 5 GHz 대역 동작을 위해 2.45 GHz 대역 준-야기 안테나의 다이폴 투사기 위에 두 번째 다이폴을 연결하고 도파기를 추가하였다. 제안된 설계 방법을 이용하여 2.45 GHz 대역과 4.57-7.11 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 이중 대역 안테나를 FR4 기판 상에 $40mm{\times}55mm$ 크기로 제작하였다. 실험 결과, 전압정재 파비가 2 이하인 대역이 2.33-2.75 GHz과 4.38-7.15 GHz으로 원하는 이중대역에서 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 측정된 이득은 두 대역에서 4 dBi 이상을 유지하였다.
