In this paper, we studied the derivation method of isoflux radiation for a planar array antenna. The presented array antenna was designed for considering of 1U-sized CubeSAT with Ku-band communications. For the presented array antenna, 8×8 radiating elements were arranged, and the distance between radiating elements was set of half-wavelength. The excited current weighting for each radiating elements was calculated by the signal processing technique used in the design of the low-pass filter. As a result of analysis of the method proposed in this paper, it was confirmed that a seamless isoflux pattern can be derived.

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.

In this paper, a design method for a broadband planar dipole antenna for the terrestrial digital television (DTV) reception is studied. The proposed antenna is an asymmetrical planar dipole consists of a rectangular patch with an embedded t-shaped slit, and the antenna shape is printed on a side of an FR4 substrate. The effects of geometrical parameters on the antenna performance are examined, and the parameters are adjusted to operate in the DTV frequency band of 470-806 MHz. The prototype antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of $260mm{\times}30mm$. The performance of the antenna is tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.

In this paper, a planar frequency reconfigurable antenna is proposed with variable capacitors. The proposed one is designed with a planar monopole, and varies resonant frequencies by variable capacitive loading of a varactor diode. The equivalent circuit and electromagnetic(EM) simulation are utilized for the analysis at the variable characteristic design of the antenna, and the same radiation performance. The implemented frequency variable monopole antenna has been verified by comparing prototypes with designed capacitors and ones with biased varactor diodes. The proposed antenna has presented the resonant frequency variations from 2.25 GHz to 2.42 GHz.

기존의 직사각형 마이크로스트립 평면구조 패치 안테나를 변형하여 패치상에 오목한 구조를 갖는 새로운 3차원 패치구조의 마이크로스트립 안테나를 제안하고, 그 공진주파수와 대역폭 변화 특성을 연구하였다. 오목형 구조의 크기에 따라 공진 주파수와 대역폭이 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 복사특성은 기존의 마이크로스트립 안테나와 거의 유사한 특성을 나타내었다. 새로운 3차원 구조를 갖는 패치에 대한 해석 및 설계는 FDTD 방법을 사용하였으며, 이에 대한 검증을 위해 기존의 마이크로스트립 안테나와 제안된 오목형 구조의 안테나를 제작하여 측정한 결과 공진주파수 및 대역폭 특성 변화가 해석결과와 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 QMSA에 비해 안테나 전체 길이를 소형화함은 물론 전기력선이 미치는 범위가 제한받지 않도록 그라운드 판을 접어 올려 방사 패치와 단락시키고 급전점의 위치를 조절하여 더욱 소형화할 수 있는 QMSA를 제안하고 설계 제작했다. 그리고 안테나에 잡음지수가 낮아지도록 LNA를 연결하여 본래의 QMSA에 비해 이득이 높고, 잡음에 강한 능동안테나를 설계·제작하였다. QMSA와 LNA는 1.8 ㎓대로 설계하여 각각의 이득과 안정도를 확인하고, 안테나와 증폭기가 통일한 평면상에 구성된 능동안테나와 QMSA를 비교 평가하였다.

In this paper we propose two types of reconfigurable 3-D beam steering antenna for intelligent or smart antenna system. Proposed antennas are composed of triangular(structure1.) or circuler(structure2.) loop structure and bended dipole antenna structure. This antenna can steer beam pattern of 6 direction at xy-plane state (0, 1, 2) and xz-plane state (3, 4, 5) by 4 switch motion with one antenna element. Antenna structure1. is symmetric equilibrium structures based on feeding point. There is no grounding point. As a result, designed antenna's gain is similar to dipole antenna. Also, As unbalanced structure by using CPWG in the form of a semicircular, structure2. is enhanced directivity. The operation frequency of antenna are 2.5 GHz(Structure1.) and 2.55 GHz(Structure2.), maximum gain is 1.04 ~ 2.06 dBi(Structure1. : Omni-directional beam), 1.6 ~ 4 dBi(structure2. : Directional beam). The overall HPBW is about over $160^{\circ}$ in the both of the xy-plane and xz-plane at structure1. and over $125^{\circ}$ at structure2.
