Planar antennas are very efficient for the use of the out-door data transmission applications due to their low-profile characteristics. But the size of the antenna in UHF band blocks the practical usage. In this paper, a miniaturized planar antenna is investigated for the application of AMR system in UHF band. The designed antenna is fabricated in the form of the microstrip patch on the FR-4 substrate. The miniaturization is achieved by slot-loading on the patch. First, effects of simple slots on the size reduction are analyzed, followed by the design using more complex slots resulting in the reduction ratio of 37.9% in 425.6 MHz and bandwidth of 3.8 MHz. The effect of epoxy coating for the protection is also investigated.

우리는 전파를 기반으로 하는 유비쿼터스 통신 시대를 향해 살고 있다. 새로운 통신 시대를 꿈꾸며 살아가는 현대인은 거의 매일 무선 통신을 이용하고 있으며 그것을 가능케 하는 안테나 기술은 눈부시게 발전하고 있다. 그러나 요즘처럼 무선 통신 서비스가 다양해지고 전파가 전파(propagation)되는 환경은 열악해지고 있는 상황에서 무선통신의 품질은 안테나의 성능에 좌우된다. 또한 통신방송융합서비스가 가시화되면서 더욱 성능이 우수한 안테나 모델을 개발하기 위해 다양한 기술적 접근이 시도되고 있다. 본 기고에서는 지상파 DMB 단말기로 대표되는 통방융합 무선통신 단말기에 적합한 소형 안테나 기술, RF 및 밀리미터파 시스템의 소형화, 고효율화, 집적화 추세에 따른 능동형 안테나 기술, 소형화된 다중대역 안테나 기술, 그리고 신소재 응용 안테나에서 재구성 안테나 기술까지 다양한 안테나 기술의 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

In this paper, small printed antennas for MIMO applications are presented. The proposed antennas are based on PIFA structure which is a popular approach for miniaturization. The obtained antenna operates in IEEE802.11a band (5.15-5.35GHz) and has a planar structure which can be adopted for various potable applications. According to our simulation results, prototype antennas are manufactured and the isolation among the antenna elements are measured for MIMO applications. And we suggest a technique to improve isolation by adding a $\lambda$/4 slit between two antennas and investigate the results.

본 논문에서는 기존의 QMSA에 비해 안테나 전체 길이를 소형화함은 물론 전기력선이 미치는 범위가 제한받지 않도록 그라운드 판을 접어올린 좌측 평행 평판과 방사 패치사이 용량을 장하하고 급전점의 위치를 조절하여 더욱 소형화할 수 있는 용량을 장하한 QMSA를 제안하고 설계ㆍ제작했다. 설계ㆍ제작된 용량을 장하한 QMSA는 중심 주파수를 2.0GHz하고 급전점을 변화시켜서 안테나 전체 길이를 40mm에서 37mm로 소형화하였다. 또한, 급전점을 변화시켜서 용량을 장하한 QMSA의 방사 패치 길이가 17mm(equation omitted g/4)의 2배인 35.1(equation omitted g/2)로 제작된 용량을 장하한 변형된 MSA는 공진주파수가 2.16GHz로 용량을 장하한 QMSA에 비해 소형화할 수는 없으나 대역폭이 9.20 %로 매우 넓음을 보였다. 그리고 상용화된 HFSS에 의해서 QMSA, 용량을 장하한 QMSA, 변형된 MSA, 용량을 장하한 변형된 MSA등의 방사 특성과 리턴로스 특성 분석은 용량을 장하하는 안테나가 이득은 낮지만 공진 주파수가 낮아서 소형화할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we considered a design method of a compact quasi-Yagi antenna for portable UHF RFID readers. The antenna consists of a dipole driver and a reflector printed on a dielectric substrate, and it is fed by a microstrip line. In order to reduce the antenna size, the dipole and reflector are bent and the balun between the feeding microstrip line and coplanar strip (CPS) line is integrated within the CPS line. The effects of the geometrical parameters of the proposed antenna on the antenna performance are examined, and the parameters are adjusted to be suitable for the operation in UHF RFID band (902-928 MHz). The size of the fabricated antenna is $70mm{\times}75mm$, and the experiment results reveal a frequency band of 892-942 MHz for a voltage standing wave ratio < 2, a gain > 3.5 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 6.6 dB over the frequency band for UHF RFID.

In this paper, a compact patch antenna with four T-slits fed by crossed aperture coupling is proposed for miniaturized Portable GPS handsets. The mechanism for compact size antenna is investigated with the behavior of the currents on the radiating patch. The equivalent surface current path due to the slits is lengthened, reducing the resonant frequency at a fixed patch size. The results of embedded T-slits for compact antenna size show that the resonant frequency is significantly lowered from 2.545GHz to 1.575GHz, corresponding to a 44.65% antenna size reduction compared to reference design. Experimental results show that good CP radiation patterns are obtained and impedance bandwidth (VSWR $\leq$ 2), 3dB axial ratio are about 21MHz, 19MHz at the center resonant frequency, respectively.

In this paper, the miniaturization of aperture-coupled RHCP patch antenna for the GPS system is treated. Circularly polarization characteristics is implemented by truncating diagonal corners of the square patch. Antenna size is reduced by inserting four uniform slits at the patch edges, which was equivalently lengthened the surface current by meandering it, This antenna uses aperture-coupled feeding structure with crossed-slot shape in order to give easy miniaturization of RHCP patch antenna. Simulated and measured results show that $42.7\%$ lower antenna size is obtained, and also $56\%$ lower -10dB bandwidth and $38.5\%$ lower 3dB AR bandwidth are obtained. when the proposed design scheme is applied to a commercial GPS antenna structure, $42.9\%$ lower patch size and $56\%$ lower 3dB AR bandwidth compared to commercial antenna at the same frequency are obtained.
