In this paper, meander-line planar monopole antenna mounted on PCS/IMT-2000/WLAN handset for SAR reduction is designed. Frequency characteristics and SAR value optimized with various design parameters are analyzed and designed. Designed internal monopole antenna mounted on the handset is simulated. The 1 g and 10 g peak average SARs of internal monopole antenna are 0.656 and 0.387 W/kg respectively. And internal monopole antenna and external monopole antenna attached on the handset are tested. As a result, internal monopole antenna 1 g and 10 g peak average SARs are 0.686 and 0.356 W/kg. And external monopole antenna's results are 1.33 and 0.812 W/kg, respectively. So internal monopole antenna has a about $50\%$ SAR reduction in comparison with external monopole antenna.

In this paper, we have illuminated the radiation modes of rectangular planar antennas to interpret the nature of the wideband characteristic upon which formulas for bandwidth prediction are presented. Rectangular planar antennas are being investigated by many researchers in virtue of relatively simple design and fabrication procedures to replace the cylindrical monopoles. But the design principle for rectangular planar antennas is still based on that of cylindrical monopoles, and the nature of the wideband characteristic and the formula to estimate the upper band frequency are not analyzed yet. In this research, we have shown the patterns of the radiation modes explaining the wideband characteristic and also proposed the upper band frequency with minor modification for the lower band frequency formula based on mode formation principles. Finally we have confirmed the validity of our results, within 10 % accuracy, by the application to some published results.

In this paper, we present the analysis of a novel monopole antenna with a reflector. The proposed monopole antenna is printed on a TRF-45 substrate, and the reflector, which is positioned near the base of the antenna, is printed on the FR-4 substrate. Positioning the reflector near the base of the antenna was found to suppress current radiation toward the back of the monopole antenna. Comparative analysis of the proposed monopole antenna and a conventional monopole antenna without a reflector revealed that the bandwidths of the antenna with and without a reflector were 2.65 GHz and 2.88 GHz, respectively. Additionally, the antenna without a reflector was observed to have a bi-directional radiation pattern in the E-plane, and an omni-directional radiation pattern in the H-plane. However, only the antenna with a reflector was found to suppress back radiation, and provide non-uniform directional radiation in the E-plane and H-plane.

PCS를 비롯하여 WLAN, DMB, W-CDMA, UWB 등의 무선통신 서비스가 증가함에 따라 안테나 동작 대역폭의 광대역화가 더욱 요구된다. 1/4 파장 선형 모노폴 안테나는 구조가 간단하고 전방향성을 갖는 복사특성으로 인하여 가장 널리 사용되는 안테나 중의 하나이다. 모노폴 안테나의 광대역화를 위해서 일반적으로 원통의 직경을 증가시키는 방법을 사용하지만, 평면 모노폴에 적용된 스텝 기법을 적용하여 광대역 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 스텝 모노폴 자체는 광대역 특성을 나타내지 않으며, 접지면에서도 일정 형태의 스텝 돌출부위가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 그라운드면의 볼록 계단 구조가 모노폴 안테나의 대역 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적의 안테나 급전구조를 도출하고자 한다. 결과의 검증을 위해서 소프트웨어 시물레이션 및 측정결과를 제시한다.

In this paper, a design method for a compact broadband planar monopole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) is studied. The proposed broadband monopole is optimized for terrestrial digital television (DTV) reception. In order to achieve broadband characteristics, the monopole and ground conductor are gradually tapered. By loading slit pairs on both monopole and ground plane, the proposed antenna is miniaturized. The monopole is fed by a CPW with 75-ohm characteristic impedance on an FR4 substrate and its size is $100mm{\times}200mm$. The optimized monopole antenna for DTV band (470-806 MHz) is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.

The design method for a dual frequency antenna using CPW feed lines is presented. The antenna structures can be simplified by CPW feed lines and easily designed on integrated circuits. The presented antenna has two resonant frequency ranges and each respective resonant frequency is determined by its own length of monopole antenna. We used an impedance matching method by using a monopole coupling related to the ground of CPW feed lines As a result, the resonant frequencies were 5.25[GHz] and 23.5[GHz] and their bandwidths $35.2\%,\;and\;41.3\%$, respectively, and also, the separation of the two frequencies $370\;%$. We presented an analytical designing method to implement a dual frequency monopole antenna and showed simple antenna structures having two frequency ranges for RFIC Integrations.

This paper presents the design method of a planar sleeve monopole antenna on PCB, which has wider bandwidth compared to that of the conventional sleeve monopole antenna, by showing the fact that the sleeve of the conventional antenna can be simplified in structure. The designed and fabricated planar sleeve monopole antenna's structure is very simple, with a monopole adjacent to a small square sleeve on FR4 PCB. The antenna shows 46% wider bandwidth compared to the corresponding 3-dimensional one with nearly omni-directional radiation property.

The variation of S11 depending on the ground sizes of circular planar monopole UWB antenna was studied. And optimal ground structure and size in UWB application devices are proposed. Radius R of circular monopole UWB antenna as a reference antenna was designed for UWB frequency band, and the measured results of this antenna on the horizontal ground plane was good agreed with the simulated results. When radius R is small, optimal size of ground plane is proposed, and when radius R is more large, minimum size of ground plane is proposed.

In this paper, we suggested the novel monopole antenna for dual band characteristics by a linear monopole antenna combined with crossed planar monopole antenna. The target frequency is ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical) 2.45GHz/5.8GHz. The distinctive features of the proposed antenna in this paper is based on the slit in the surface of a crossed planar monopole for the dual band characteristics and the omnidirectional radiation patterns. The compact size of the proposed antenna is $36mm{\times}5.4mm{\times}5.4mm$. According to the simulation results, the bandwidth, the reflection coefficients below -10dB, of 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz are 150MHz and 1.43GHz, respectively. Consequently the proposed antenna structures is apply to the antenna for dual band characteristics.
