In this paper, a novel electrically small monopole type resonant antenna is proposed. The very short length monopole (${\iota}{\approx}{\lambda}_g/15$ ) acts as a capacitive element and the slot on the ground structure acts as an inductive element, hence the combined system with these two elements thus form an LC resonator. The equivalent circuit model of the antenna structure was used to analysis and qualify the design correctness. Although the proposed antenna has very small size, it shows good performances. The measured maximum gain and radiation efficiency of the fabricated antenna at the frequency of 2.1 GHz was 3.6 dBi and 77.8 %, respectively.

In this paper, We intended to design various things for the realization of SoS(System on Substrate) with SIW in 24GHz ISM 밴드(24-24.25GHz). As part of them, We integrated SIW, transition and MPAA as SoS on the same substrate and investigated its characteristics. We used Rogers Ro4350 with relative permittivity of 3.48 and thickness of 20mil. As results of optimal design, insertion loss of the SIW with 11.55mm length showed 0.32dB and insertion loss of 0.19dB occurred in transition to $50{\Omega}$ microstrip. Characteristics of the MPAA integrated on the same substrate as SoS are very similar to those of stand-alone MPAA. But the integrated MPAA decreased by 0.58dB in gain, which is the sum of SIW insertion loss and transition insertion loss, and by 0.7dB in SLL compared that of stand-alone MPAA. However, the bandwidth was increased by 19.4% as it changed from 670MHz to 800Mhz.

In this paper, the X($1{\times}2$, 10.525 GHz) and K($3{\times}6$, 24.15 GHz) bands patch array antenna having single feed line for radar detector applications is proposed. The left side of the proposed array antenna is X band array antenna and the right is K band array antenna. Two array antennas with two stubs located in the front of antennas are fed through one transmission line. If the array antennas which have the different resonance frequency are fed by one transmission line using general T-junction, it interferes each other and the array antenna lost its character. Therefore, to prevent these interferences, two stubs using open and short property of stub are designed. First of all, the performances of array antenna weren't changed when each array antennas were connected with the stub and in the end, it is found out that it was the same when the two array antennas were combined and feed through the one transmission line. The measured gain at X band is 6.47 dBi and measured gain at K band is 13.07 dBi. The experimental results agree well with the simulated ones.

In this paper, the dual-faced monopole antenna, which is arranged by numerous rectangular ring patches in sequence for the multi-bands is proposed. The ring type structure of the patch can be increased the bandwidth. Therefore the bandwidth and beam width are improved by using multiple arrayed patches. When the ring type patches are inserted serially, the resonance frequencies are occurred by the current flow from the first ring patch. It is possible because the gap between the patches is very narrow. In addition, if the patches are composed on the same plane as the feed-line, fabrication could be very difficult because the gap between the patches is extremely narrow. The thickness and permittivity of the antenna, moreover, are very important parameters because both sides of the substrate are used. We finally found the optimal thickness and permittivity to generate the coupling effect by simulation. All patches are consisted of 4-steps which the patch size was decreased 85 % by each step. In conclusion, the resonant frequency bands are 1.75~2.6 GHz(850 MHz), 3.24~3.46 GHz(220 MHz), 3.8~4.0 GHz(200 MHz), and 4.4~4.9 GHz(500 MHz).

In this paper, we designed and implemented the planar monopole antenna using the coupling effect for the multi-band characteristic. A parasitic element for the multi-band characteristic based on a rectangular patch with single resonance is inserted. Spiral shaped parasitic element is used for minimizing the antenna size and obtaining the multi-resonance characteristic. The frequency characteristics are modified and optimized by varying specific parameters. By inserting an L-shaped resonator at both sides of the feed line which connected through the via hole to the ground plane, unnecessary frequency bands are eliminated. Proposed antenna dimension is $40{\times}60{\times}1mm^3$. It is fabricated on the FR-4 substrate(${\varepsilon}_r$=4.4) using a microstrip line of $50{\Omega}$ for impedance matching. By measurement results, the characteristic of the return loss under -10 dB are 1.714~2.496 GHz, 2.977~4.301 GHz, and 4.721~6.315 GHz, and the radiation patterns have omni-directional shapes.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated WLAN / UWB communication antennas operating at 3.3 [GHz] and 5 [GHz] bands in order to effectively use the high-speed communication network system that improved antenna miniaturization, gain and radiation pattern. Microstrip patch antennas were chosen to improve the bandwidth. The slot width, length, and transmission line width were calculated using the theoretical formula for each step. Simulation results show that the return loss is -14.053 [dB] at 3.3 [GHz] and -13.118 [dB] at 5 [GHz]. The gain showed a value of 2.479 [dBi] at 3.3 [GHz] and a value of 3.317 [dBi] at 5 [GHz]. After optimizing it with the CST Microwave Studio 2014 program, which can be 3D-designed, Based on these results, we investigated the performance of antennas by measuring their characteristics. In recent years, WLAN, which is a variety of wireless technologies that are continuously developing, and UWB, which is a communication technology which is increasing in frequency band due to an increase in demand of the technology users, is used for a high speed wireless communication system. Communication seems to be possible.

In this paper, 5.8GHz 25W microwave wireless power transmission system was developed. The transmission system is composed of a signal generator, a 1W drive amplifier, a 25W power amplifier, and a circularly polarized transmission antenna. The receiving system was fabricated with an integrated receiver that combines a circularly polarized receiving antenna, a pass band filter, and an RF-DC converter. And a multi-integrated receiver had twelve parts, including an integrated receiver. Under the conditions, voltage and current were measured for the system at 5cm intervals from a minimum distance of 5cm to a maximum distance of 80cm. The power was calculated for the system. The results of the system are shown in tables and graphs. The power decreases with distance, but the power does not drop sharply due to a multi-integrated receiver.

In this paper, a small mu-zero zeroth order resonance(ZOR) antenna based on meta structure is proposed using parasitic patch at 5.8 GHz. The mu-zero ZOR antenna is designed by utilizing the resonance of series inductance and capacitance of mu-negative transmission line and its size can be further reduced by a simple parasitic patch. The parasitic patch can increase series capacitance of mu-negative transmission line related to a resonant frequency. We have simulated and optimized dimension of the parasitic patch using Ansys commercial simulator(HFSS). As a result, the antenna has the following characteristics: kr of 0.59, efficiency of 92 %, and gain of 6.57 dBi. Also, its size is reduced by 24 % compared to a conventional mu-zero ZOR antenna. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results.

In this paper, We investigated the effects of mesh structure variations of meshed ground on MCAA(Microstrip Comb Array Antenna). First, we designed MCAA in 24GHz ISM band and we investigated the variations of the gain and the SLL(Side Lobe Level) of the MCAA as we varied the mesh structure of the meshed ground. We varied two variables, mesh size and unfilled rato, which is defined as no metal area ratio in mesh for the investigation. We investigated two types of MCAA. Those are flat MCAA composed of flat radiator and tapered MCAA composed of tapered radiator. Both the antenna gains of flat MCAA and tapered MCAA are decreased as the unfilled rato increased. However, increase of mesh size made more dramatic decrease in antenna gain than increase of unfilled rato. The antenna SLL showed similar trend. But tapered MCAA affected more severely by variation of mesh size than flat MCAA.
