The effect of substrate size on the radiation characteristics of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna with an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) as unit element is investigated. The distance between the patch center and the substrate edge on the E-plane ($d_E$) and that on the H-plane ($d_H$) at which the maximum broadside gain of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna occurs are the same to those of single ACMPA using a unit element. Besides, $d_E$ and $d_H$ at which the minimum broadside gain of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna occurs are almost the same to those of single ACMPA using a unit element. The edge effect on the radiation characteristics of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna is mainly determined by $d_E$. The optimum substrate size for the radiation characteristics of an H-plane linear array antenna could be obtained from that of single ACMPA using a unit element of an H-plane linear array antenna.

A WLAN dual band dipole antenna with parasitic elements and a reflector is presented for high gain operation. The parasitic elements are used for practical application and high gain operation of the radiation pattern at the WLAN dual band. The proposed antenna consists of three layers, and has dimensions of $74mm{\times}40 mm{\times}31.4mm$. From the experimental results, the achieved impedance bandwidths were 1035 MHz (2.031-3.066 GHz) and 1119 MHz (5.008-6.127 GHz), respectively. The measured maximum gain at each WLAN band was 6.69 dBi and 7.81 dBi, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a three-element CRPA array with improved low-elevation gain. The proposed antenna consists of a feed patch and a radiating patch, and the feed patch is connected by a coaxial cable. The radiating patch is electromagnetically coupled to the feed patch, which allows to improve the low-elevation gain of the antenna. To demonstrate the suitability of the proposed antenna, the antenna characteristics are measured in a full anechoic chamber. The resulting bore-sight gain is 2.8 dBic with an axial ratio of 2.7 dB, and the average gain at the low-elevation direction of $75^{\circ}$ is -1.4 dBic. The results verify that the proposed antenna is suitable for CRPA arrays with anti-jamming capability.

We investigated the effects of the CSRR-metamaterial on microstrip comb-line array antennas. Microstrip comb-line array antennas was designed with 12 radiators, gain of 16.09dBi and bandwidth of 0.24GHz in the 24GHz ISM band. The designed antenna had radiation beam perpendicular to the antenna plane, co-polarization gain of 16.09dBi and cross-polarization gain of -10.86dBi. the CSRR-metamaterial increased largely the impedance bandwidth of the antenna from 0.24GHz to 3.6GHz. however as co-polarization gain became 10.08dBi and cross-polarization gain became 14.1dBi, co-polarization was mixed with cross-polarization. And the antenna gain lowered by 1.99dB. On the investigation of the dependence on the split-direction of the CSRR rings, it showed nearly the same characteristics for up-splitted ring used case and down-splitted ring used case. However in the case of arranging up-splitted ring and down-splitted ring in alternation, co-polarization gain decreased to -1.29dBi and cross-polarization gain increased to 13.9dBi, which meant the wave was transited to cross-polarization majority wave.

본 논문에서는 기생 패치 구조와 적층 구조의 광대역 마이크로스트립 안테나에 평행 결합 선로 형태의 광대역 임피던스 정합 회로를 결합하여 쉽게 추가적인 임피던스 대역폭 개선을 얻을 수 있음을 제안하였다. 평행 결합 선로 형태의 광대역 임피던스 정합 회로 설계를 위하여 분포 회로 방식의 반복적인 방법을 제시하였고. 설계\ulcorner제작 결과 기생 패치 구조와 적층 구조에서 각각 56.23%와 16.45%의 추가적인 임피던스 대역폭 개선을 이룰 수 있었다. 그리고 방사 패턴과 측정된 이득을 보면 평행 결합 선로의 결합으로 인한 방사 패턴에서의 큰 변화는 보이지 않았고, 이득에서는 평행 결합 선로 부분의 커플링 손실로 인해 최대 이득이 약 1 dB 정도 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the basic characteristics of a 5 element dipole array antenna which has a four parastic element and one driving element at the center of the circular array. The coupled integral equations for the unknown current distributions on dipole elements are derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments. The numerical results show that the highest power gain of 7.8 dBi is obtained at radius of d = 0.3lλ when two short circuited parastic element neighbors. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, the radiation pattern is compared with Preston's results.

Radiation characteristics of inductive loaded patch antennas (ILPAs) and conventional patch antennas using a half wavelength resonance mode for substrates with various dielectric constants are investigated. ILPAs have the good radiation characteristics such as high broadside gain and suppressed radiation along the horizontal plane compared to those of conventional patch antennas. We show that ILPAs with the appropriate patch length and via radius have the optimum radiation characteristics such as the highest broadside gain and the most suppressed horizontal radiation.

In this paper, we have proposed a tapered slot antenna for UWB communication system. The tapered slot antenna has directional radiation and broad bandwidth. Proposed tapered slot antenna is designed using Ansys Inc. HFSS and its VSWR, return los, and radiation pattern is analyzed. Operating band of the antenna were satisfied -10 dB S11 and $VSWR{\leq}2$ in 2.7 ~ 4.8 GHz band. The radiation pattern of the antenna is showed in E-plane (YZ plane) and the H-plane (XZ plane) and the highest gain of 7.3 dBi is seen at 4.5 GHz. Therefore, proposed tapered slot antenna has wide bandwidth characteristic and directional for location awareness.

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 ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$.

Design of IPI(Inverted PI) feeding internal antenna for the gain improvement of mobile phone was proposed. IPI feeding structure affects on both low radiation resistance of antenna and increase current for the internal antenna such as IFA(Inverted F Antenna). By these facts, antenna fed by IPI can get the gain improvement with increasing radiation efficiency. For the verification, we applied IPI feeding structure to conventional quad band IFA. Measurement shows that IPI-IFA has 0.3~2.0[dB] higher gain than conventional IFA on GSM/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA band.
