In order to design small printed antenna restricted within narrow area of $30mm{\times}8mm$ for the Zigbee module and improve its return loss, meander slot antenna with a floating conductor as the parastic element has been proposed. The resonant frequency and bandwidth(VSWR${\leq}$2) of the antenna designed and fabricated in the present study is about 2.44GHz and 113MHz respectively. The radiation pattern is almost similar to that of dipole antenna within the operation frequency range. Also the radiation efficiency and gain of the proposed antenna is more than 60% and 2.7dBi respectively. It has been observed that the characteristics the proposed antenna mentioned above satisfy the specification required of the Zigbee application. In order to validate the proposed antenna, some simulated and measured results are presented and compared.

In this paper, a novel 400MHz band small meander microstrip antenna is proposed the shape of the proposed antenna is a waved meander microstrip with a pair rf short pins on th￡ edge. the length of waved meander microstrip is $\lambda_g/4$ but it bends to half its size. Therefore, the total size of the proposed antenna is reduced to about 1/20 which is compared with a square patch antenna the simulated antenna gain is about 3dBi at 424MHz. the proposed antenna of -10dB impedance bandwidth is measured about $1.4\%$.

In this paper, A tag antenna structure for RFID application with resonant frequency of 920MHz is proposed using the meander line technique and Evolution Strategy. Miniaturization structure design for a tag antenna is performed by structure combining the half-wave dipole with a meander line. To achieve this, an interface program between a commercial EM analysis tool and the optimal design program is made for implementing the evolution strategy technique that seeks a global optimum of the objective function through the iterative design process consisting of variation and reproduction. The optimized tag antenna size is 63mm ${\times}$ 15mm ${\times}$ 1mm. And the proposed antenna is realized on FR-4 substrate (${\epsilon}_r=4.4$, $tna{\delta}=0.02$).

In this paper, we analyzed the signal distortion incorporating meander-shaped transmission line on PCB in broadband frequency range, up to 50GHz. This broadband characteristic provides reasonable analysis of digital pulse having very short rising time. Simulation results reveal suppression characteristic at multiband which is dependent on only the width of meander arm. This width of arm also can be adjusted using different permittivity because it provides different effective wave-length. It is found that the suppression characteristic shows sharpness with as a function of the number of arms. However, these characteristics shown limitation for microstrip line structure rather than for stripline structure, so we can avoid these unwanted phenomena using stripline structure.

The paper describes a meander antenna using magneto-dielectric composite for 433.92 MHz band. The antenna with magneto-dielectric material in this paper is suggested for miniaturization of antenna size. The return loss of meander antenna is achieved by optimizing the permittivity, $\varepsilon_r$=1.71-j0.004 and permeability, $\mu_r$=2.39+j2.58. Over all dimension of the antenna is $51\times11\times1.6mm$. The return loss and gain are -41 dB, -5dBi, respectively at 433.92 MHz.

본 논문에서는 SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator)를 이용하여 RFID 주파수 대역의 이중대역 필터를 설계 연구하였다. 반파장 SIR을 parallel-coupled 형태로 설계하고 넓은 주파수 간격의 이중대역필터를 구현하기 위해서 2st 공진 주파수를 2.45GHz 대역에 맞추고 1st 공진 주파수를 억제하기 위해서 대역저지 필터를 결합하였다. 입출력에 대역 저지 필터를 구성하고 반파장 parallel-coulpled SIR은 미앤더 구조로 설계하여 크기를 줄였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 필터는 두 대역에서 -3.5~3.9dB의 삽입 손실을 가지며 433MHz에서 8MHz, 2.45GHz에서 21MHz의 대역폭을 나타낸다. 관심 주파수 이외의 대역에서는 -50dB 이상의 저지 특성을 가진다.

본 논문에서는 금속체에 RFID 태그 안테나를 부착 시 태그 인식이 가능하도록 태그 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 기존 도체 태그용 RFID 안테나는 크기가 큰 단점이 있으나, 본 논문에서는 미앤더 구조를 제안하여 안테나 크기의 소형화에 중점을 두었다. 2 개의 유전체를 결합하여 도체에서의 특성 감소를 최소화 하였고 급전부와 단락부의 간격조절로 사용된 칩 저항인 77-j100옴과의 conjugate 매칭을 유도 하였다. 태그의 크기는 30 ${\times}$ 40 mm로 기존의 태그안테나에 비해 소형임에도 임피던스 특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 대역폭은 UHF대역을 만족하는 $900MHz{\sim}921MHz$를 얻었고, 도체에 태그를 부착 후 인식거리 측정에 있어서도 기존 제품과 유사한 특성을 얻었다.

In this paper, a meander-line chip antenna with stacked layer is suggested, designed and fabricated employing the LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) fabrication techniques. To reduce the antenna chip size, the meander-line antenna strip is distributed over three layer. Layers one interconnected using via holes. A 2.4 GHz chip antenna with size of $3.75{\times}7.9{\times}1.0 mm^3$ is designed and fabricated using the LTCC technique. Measurements of the fabricated antenna show 160 MHz bandwidth and 3.75 dBi maximum gain. The Measured reflection coefficient and radiation patterns agree well with the prediction by electromagnetic simulation.
