To complement the narrow band characteristics of the microstrip patch antenna, the slot patch antenna was designed for the wide band characteristics. The microstrip slot patch antenna has wide band characteristics when the size of the slots and the feed line shapes are designed accordingly. In this study, various substrates as a epsilon-10, and a epoxy were used to design slot patch antennas. The feed line structure of the circular and square were also designed to have wide band. In the case of slot antennas with the circular patch shapes using epsilon-10 plate 50mm thickness with relative permittivity the 41% bandwidth on the 1.5∼2.28㎓ was shown. When an Epoxy plate 1.Sum thickness with relative permittivity 4.75 is used to construct a circular slot antenna with a square patch form, the frequency band width was obtained 77% as the 1.2∼2.7㎓ frequency range. These results are coincided well with the theoretical results.

마이크로스트립 패치안테나의 대역을 증가시키는 방법이 꾸준히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 구형 패치 구조에 기생 소자를 더한 형태로 구형 패치 외부에 바(bar)와 밴드(band) 모양의 기생소자를 설치하여 프린징 효과를 최소화 하고자 하였으며, 이로 인한 안테나 효율의 향상과 대역폭을 증가를 시키고자 하였으며, 또한 기생소자의 폭과 방사안테나의 간격을 조절하여 대역폭과 임피던스정합 특성의 변화를 해석하였다. 이를 이용하여 LMDS통신 주파수 대역인 24.6GHz∼28.5GHz에서 공진 대역을 갖도록 설계하였다. 정재파비 2.0 이하를 기준으로 기존의 패치안테나의 중심주파수에 대한 대역 이용율이 수 %인데 반하여, 본 연구에서 제시한 밴드를 설치한 구조의 경우 12.92%로 증가함을 알 수 있고, 또한 본 연구에서 제시한 외부 밴드를 갖는 구조가 급전선로와 패치 안테나와의 정합특성이 월등함을 확인하였다.

Printed microstrip antennas are known to have limitations in terms of bandwidth by the presence of the dielectric substrate. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, a broadband microstrip bow-tie antenna which has two dip point for high speed wireless LAN, fabricated on a Taconic substrate is designed and simulated. In simualted results, the return loss is two dip point which is -28.5dB at 5.68GHz and -27dB at 5.85GHz. The bandwidth of this antenna is 8.7％ about VSWR$\leq$2 and 5.9％ about VSWR$\leq$1.5.

We devised a bird-borne transceiver unit for S-band packet radio communications based on the CC2500 transceiver, a device manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI). Our assessments determined the optimal parameters needed to achieve successful bird-to-center communication over a distance of 18 km and bird-to-bird communication over a distance of 200 m. These parameters included optimal modulation methods, transmission rates, and antennas. We equipped the transceiver unit with a modified dipole antenna (collinear antenna), which we tested in a 10 m anechoic chamber. Our experimental assessments and circuit design review identified the following parameters: 2FSK modulation method; 14.28 kHz frequency shift; 101.56 kHz IF reception bandwidth; and Manchester encoding (+). Our assessments showed bird-to-bird communications could be achieved over a distance of 200 m assuming MSK, FEC (+), and 500 kbps. Following tests by an official body, we obtained 28 sets of a type approval license for 2.4 GHz. In cooperation with the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology, we attempted to tag and release six or more swans. This unit gives us the ability to obtain vital data on swans. We expect this data to provide significant benefits, including clues on improving screening for infected individuals.

This paper presents the implementation and design of the 1T-1R wireless HD video streaming systems over 28 GHz mmWave frequency using 3GPP LTE-TDD standard on NI USRP RIO SDR platform. The baseband of the system uses USRP RIO that are stored in Xilinx Kintex-7 chip to implement LTE-TDD transceiver modem, the signal that are transceived from USRP RIO up or down converts to 28 GHz by using self-designed 28 GHz RF transceiver modules and it is finally communicated HD video data through self-designed $4{\times}8$ sub array antennas. It is that communication method between USRP RIO and Host PC use PCI express ${\times}4$ to minimize delay of data to transmit and receive. The implemented system show high error vector magnitude performance above 25.85 dBc and to transceive HD video in experiment environment anywhere.

In this paper, FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) using defect mode characteristic is proposed. The unit cell using defect mode characteristic of the proposed FSS is offered lower resonant frequency in the same cell size. The number of suitable array is optimized 13 by 13. Also, the patch antennas operated in WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) Tx band and Rx band are designed for the comparison. The gain value of proposed FSS-1 complex structure (the patch antenna of Tx band and FSS) is improved 3.3 dB from 9.98 dBi to 13.28 dBi in Tx band. The gain value of proposed FSS-2 complex structure(the patch antenna of Rx band and FSS) is improved 5.53 dB from 9.81 dBi to 15.34 dBi in Rx band. Also the measured impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) of manufactured $13{\times}13$ array antenna is from 337 MHz(1.87 to 2.21 GHz). The measured radiation gain is 11.39 dBi(1.94 GHz), 13.11 dBi(2.05 GHz), 11.09 dBi(2.14 GHz). The measured radiation efficiency is 81 %. Because the proposed FSS structure has more higher gain, it will be applied to antenna of WCDMA repeater system.

In this paper, we proposed a novel true time-delay (TTD) feeder for phased array antennas (PAAs) using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and fibers coated with Cr/Au film. This structure requires less number of FBGs than the previously proposed FBG TTD feeders since one FBG is replaced with a metal film reflector in a strand of optical delay line connected to each antenna element and also provides the flexible wavelength selection since the metal film shows wide reflectance spectrum. A TTD for 10 GHz linear PAAs capable of steering beams in three different directions at 0$^{\circ}$and $\pm$30$^{\circ}$has been built. Experimental results on time delays are in good agreement with those calculated at all the steering angles. A 10 GHz linear array antenna with eight antenna elements red from the proposed TTD has been designed and the far-field radiation pattern or this antenna has been obtained by simulation.

In this paper, stochastic optimization algorithms of PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and APSO (Adaptive Particle Swam Optimization) are studied and compared. It is revealed that the APSO provides faster convergence and better search efficiency than the conventional PSO when they are adopted to find the global minimum of a two-dimensional function. The advantages of the APSO comes from the ability to control the inertia weight, and acceleration coefficients. To verify that the APSO is working better than the standard PSO, the design of a 10GHz microstrip patch as one of the elements of a high frequency array antenna is taken as a test-case and shows the optimized result with 5 iterations in the APSO and 28 iterations in th PSO.

This paper is presented on the antenna design for notepc platform. We present the antenna with combination of electric-magnetic radiator for dual-band Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) service and a High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) service. Due to the limited antenna space in notepc platform, the antennas for various wireless communication service should be located at a very small area. In this paper, the magnetic-type radiator works for high frequency band (1.7 - 2.1 GHz) application and the electric-type radiator works for low frequency band (820 - 960 MHz) application. This combination produces wide-band characteristics in the high frequency band. Simulation and experimental results of input impedance and gain characteristics of the proposed antenna are presented. There are good agreements between the simulated and measured S11 and gain values.

In this paper, we implemented a real-time 2.4 GHz direction finding system using a time-modulated array(TMA) and an Universal Software Radio Peripheral(USRP). Our system consists of two commercial monopole antennas, self-designed switch board, and an USRP, and it is controlled using LabVIEW program in real-time. From measured results, it is verified that our system can exactly detect the incident angle within 4 degree in the range of 30 degree. Our direction finding system has advantages of a simple hardware architecture than conventional one with multiple receivers, and a simple algorithm only by using a main lobe and a first side-lobe of switching frequency.
