Notch Antenna is a travelling wave type antenna and can provide multioctave operation in phased arrays that scan over wide angle. In this paper, we designed a wideband E-plane phased array antenna using E-plane waveguide simulator which has a bandwidth of 3 : 1 and a scan volume of $\pm$45$^{\circ}$ in E-plane. We compared impedance of single antenna and infinite array antenna using equivalent circuit modeling. We analyzed full structure of 1$\times$9 phased array antenna and we evaluated active reflection coefficient with variation of beam scan angle through mutual coupling coefficient acquired from simulation and investigated the variation of antenna gain with variation of active element pattern as beam scan angle is varied.

Effect of a finite grounded substrate on mutual coupling characteristics of a 2-element array antenna using inductor loaded patch antennas is investigated. The mutual coupling characteristics of a 2-element array antenna using inductor loaded patch antennas positioned along the E-plane are compared with those positioned along the H-plane. The magnitude of mutual coupling is very small and the distance between the center of element and the substrate edge on the E-plane for the minimum mutual coupling is similar regardless of the direction at which antenna elements are positioned in the case of a 2-element array antenna using inductor loaded patch antennas.

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.

In this paper, a design method for a broadband planar dipole antenna for terrestrial digital television (DTV) reception is studied. The dipole is modified to half bow-tie type for size reduction. The balun between feeding microstrip line and coplanar strip (CPS) line is implemented with a rectangular patch inserted along the center of the CPS line. The proposed antenna is the structure of dual resonances, one is due to the dipole and the other is due to the CPS line attached by the balun. The effects of various geometrical parameters on the antenna performance are examined, and the antenna is designed for terrestrial DTV band (470-806 MHz). The prototype antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of $95mm{\times}178mm$, and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.

An antenna was designed and manufactured for the DBS receiver system. This antenna is a planar or flat antenna which shows many advantages over the conventional parabolic antenna such as higher aperture efficiency, easier installation and improved aesthetics to name a few. The antenna is a novel design employing microstrip annular ring resonating antenna elements and a radial waveguide feeder network. The LNB(Low Noise Blockdown Converter) is can integrate with the antenna iしt the back of the radial waveguide. The 35cm diameter antenna works at 31.8dBi minimum gain which implies an aperture efficiency of around $80\%$.

The design of a compact folded patch antenna with moderately broad bandwidth is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna has radiation characteristics that are similar to the conventional monopole antenna. However, since this antenna is designed in a planar form, it has smaller size than that of a conventional monopole antenna. We have investigated the resonance frequency and bandwidth characteristics of the proposed antenna by changing the antenna design parameters. The proposed planar form of a monopole antenna in this paper has 1.17 GHz bandwidth with a matching circuit at the center frequency of 6.05 GHz.

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, a design method for a planar dipole pair antenna for an operation in the frequency band of 470-806 MHz for terrestrial indoor digital TV (DTV) is studied. The proposed antenna is composed of two planar dipoles connected through conducting strips, and the antenna is fed by a microstrip line. By employing different lengths of dipoles, a broadband characteristics is obtained, and the antenna is size-reduced by bending both ends of the longer dipole. The effects of design parameters on the antenna performance are examined by simulation, and the parameters are adjusted for terrestrial DTV band use. A prototype of the antenna for indoor DTV reception is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of $240mm{\times}139.5mm$ and tested experimentally. The experiment results show that the frequency band for a VSWR < 2 ranges 458-864 MHz(61.4%), and it corresponds fairly well with the simulated band of 448-868 MHz(63.8%).
