In this paper, the method to design the antenna, which is suitable for an impulse-like waveform radiation, is presented. In general, the impulse-like waveform has its spectrum of around sub GHz bandwidth and the antenna should be properly designed for not only operating wide-bandwidth also reflecting the time domain characteristics for near-zone impulse radar applications. In this regard, Vivaldi antenna has been designed and characterized in terms of short-pulse radiating aspects in the time domain and verified by measured results. The designed antenna has shown to be operating within wide-bandwidth and to be stable for the input impedance from 1.8 to more than 10GHz. The far-zone radiating waveform has been investigated on each plane at the interval of 30degree and the designed antenna has shown to be a directive characteristic. It can be seen that those results proposed are widely applicable to the near area sensing applications such as ground-penetrating radar.

In this paper, the radiation characteristics for the array of a circular loop antenna is studied in moving media. The medium is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, and to move with a constant velocity much less than the speed of light. The integral equation for the current distribution is derived and the current functions is found by means of courier Series as a solution of the integral equation. The electric field is derived from the current on circular loop antenna and the Dyadic Green's Function in moving media. The numerical calculation of the electric field concerning to the two element antenna array,, in which one element is parasitic, is carried out. The field patterns are plotted from the computed values. As a result, the field patterns in moving media, compared with the patterns in stationary media, are found to decrease in the direction of media velocity and increase in the opposite direction, and the maximum directivity is shifted.

In this paper, the synthesis method of multibeam radiation pattern with multi-directional beams and nulls is proposed. Genetic algorithm is applied for the optimization of amplitude and phase of the feeding signal into each element that is structured in planar array of single patch antenna with an arbitrary field distribution. To verify the validity of the proposed method, $2{\times}2$ planar array antenna is used for the measurement and the measured far field radiation pattern is compared with the simulation result. As a result, the synthesis of multibeam radiation pattern is implemented by the optimization of amplitude and phase of the feeding signal into each element of $8{\times}8$ planar array antenna system.

A shaped Cassegrain antenna is designed from the condition of the same path length at the equi-phase surface by using the conservation of energy and Snell's law. In order to improve the phase error efficiency of aperture surface, the surface profile of the main and sub-reflectors is found to satisfy the power distribution and the equi-phase condition at the aperture surface. The sidelobe levels of 36.4 dB and 33.9 dB are achieved at the AZ and EL planes, respectively from numerical calculation by physical optics method at Ku band and the directivity of designed antenna is 10 percent greater than that of conventional antenna.

In this Paper, the training principles and the control method of adaptive array antennas using the LMS and CMA algorithms for the $\pi$/4 QPSK signal is showed and the convergence characteristics, the adaptivity of directional pattern SINR and the replication of desired signal of adaptive arrays are compared and discussed each other. Computer simulation results showed that the SINR of LMS adaptive array was 13.8［dB］, and that of CMA was 12.8［dB］, and also the convergence characteristics of LMS was fast a little than that of CMA. The LMS adaptive array was also performed null point well for the interference signal direction than that of the CMA adaptive array.

In this article, a new approach is presented to improve the unchangeable function of a ready-made millimeter-wave antenna system. By designing a metamaterial surface appropriate for the given geometry and fixed electrical characteristics of the device, the properties of the radiated fields of the RF product are changed to have directivity and higher antenna gain. Unlike other designs using periodic metamaterials for a single patch, an aperiodic metasurface is developed to handle two patches. For a higher received signal strength and a longer RF path in the 24 GHz-radio link, an aperiodic metasurface enhances the radiated fields by 10 dB.

Patch antennas with an array of pins interconnecting the patch and the ground (Pin array patch antennas) are fabricated and their characteristics are measured. The radiation characteristics of pin array patch antennas are compared to those of conventional patch antennas. The suppressions of the radiation in horizontal directions in E-plane and H-plane are more than 10 dB and 4 dB, respectively. The forward radiation is increased, while the backward radiation is decreased. The directivity is improved because the half-power beamwidth of radiation patterns in both E-plane and H-plane is reduced. The resonance frequency of a pin array patch antenna increases as the pin radius of a pin amy patch antenna increases. An optimum pin radius of a pin array patch antenna exists for the maximum suppression of the radiation in horizontal directions.

In this paper, we propose and fabricate the dual-band microstrip patch antenna with parasitic patch for S-DMB(Satellite-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and ITS (Intelligent Transport System) services. The measured - 10 dB bandwidth and the minimum return loss is 300 MHz and - 27 dB for S-DMB, 600 MHz and -17 dB for ITS, respectively. It is noticed that the measured and simulated results are agreed well. The S-DMB antenna has conical beam pattern in the vertical plane and has omni-directional beam pattern in the horizontal plane. The conical beam pattern has the maximum gain about 4.2 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $45^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 2.6 GHz. The ITS antenna has directional beam pattern in the vertical plane that has maximum gain about 6.4 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $0^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz.

In this paper, cross-aperture coupled microstrip circular polarization antenna is proposed for 5.8 GHz WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network). A single antenna consists of square patch and slots are located in series feed line with $\lambda_g$/4 phase different which make current direction maximum and minimum repeatedly to generate RHCP(Right Handed Circularly Polarization). We are proposed new structure that removed the section which intersected at a right angle and were composed to four separated slots. The proposed cross slots reduce back lobe of radiation pattern and improve antenna gain. Impedance bandwidth of the manufactured $2\times2$ array antenna is from 5.67 to 5.95 GHz and the maximum radiation gain is 10.59 dBi.
