In general, a wireless communication device has employed a whip antenna or a stubby antenna. Recently, wireless communication device is increasingly employing an embedded antenna, Intenna, for the sake of miniaturization. Further, it may employ both external and embedded antennas. Examples of the embedded antenna include a multi-band monopole antenna, which radiates uniformly in all directions when viewed from above, and a planar inverted F antenna (PIFA), which is a variation of the monopole antenna. However, since the conventional antenna is mounted in a finished state on the mobile communication terminal, there is a limitation of space required for providing the antenna. According to the present study, there is provided an Intenna that is deposited on a front or back case of the mobile communication terminal by a sputtering method. Accordingly, it is possible to overcome a limitation of space required for providing the Intenna and to improve the performance of the Intenna formed on the front or back case of the mobile communication terminal.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated wideband 3-axis isotropic antenna for the Electro-Magnetic Fields(EMFs) measurement. Each part of proposed 3-axis antenna has isotropic characteristics and arbitrary axis of proposed 3-axis antenna could be selectable using RF switch. Also, a resistor was inserted in each axis of proposed 3-axis antenna for improving antenna gain and noise suppression characteristics, and port impedance of each dipole antenna were matched by balun. For the performance verification of antenna, GTEM Cell which generates standard electromagnetic field was used for the derivation of antenna factor and receiver sensitivity. As a result, fabricated 3-axis isotropic antenna has receiver sensitivity of 0.12~4.2 mV/m and typical VSWR of 3.3:1 within a wide operation frequency range from 0.03 MHz to 3 GHz.

This paper presents analysis results for the effect of the directional group delay of the antenna to implement a precision radio navigation system. The analysis was conducted through antenna simulation and test, and the test was performed in an anechoic chamber. The directional group delay of the antenna was calculated in phase-based analysis method. The results showed that a variation of up to 7.7ns in group delay occurred per antenna direction. The group delay variation from the analysis is 2.31 meters when converted into distance. It was tested using a real radio navigation system based on the time of arrival (TOA). The test verified the distance variation of 2.1 meters, and this value is similar to those obtained from the simulation and chamber test analysis.

In this study, we developed a co-located and space-shared multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna module with a modular design and high integration level. The proposed antenna pair includes a half-wavelength loop antenna and a dipole-type antenna printed on the front and back sides of a compact modular board. Owing to their modal orthogonality, these two independent antenna elements are highly self-isolated and free of additional decoupling components, even though they are assembled at the same location and within the same space. Thus, the proposed antenna is attractive in 5G MIMO systems. Furthermore, the proposed co-located and space-shared MIMO antenna module was employed in a 5G smartphone to verify their radiation and diversity performances. A 12 × 12 MIMO antenna system was simulated and fabricated using the proposed module. Based on the results, the proposed module can be employed in large-scale MIMO antenna systems for current and future terminal devices owing to its high integration, compactness, simple implementation, and inherent isolation.

In this paper, we have described a simple CPW-fed UWB antenna for wireless UWB communication. The proposed antenna consists of two symmetrical strips having two steps and CPW feeding. Two techniques(symmetrical structure, two steps) are used to produce good low-dispersion and impedance matching. The proposed UWB antenna has an omni directional radiation pattern, compact size, low dispersion, and low cost.

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.

ETRI has been developing the Ka-band Antenna subsystem for COMS(Communications, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) which will be launched at the end of 2008. The antenna subsystem employs the two parts: East Panel and West panel of spacecraft. ETRI in cooperation with domestic companies are under design phase for the antenna subsystem development. This paper focuses in the Ka-band reflector pointing error analysis to verify the antenna subsystem performance specification, especially EOC gain variation etc. The analysis performed is that induced by reflector surface deformation as a result of thermo elastic distortion. Beam pattern variations are verified by the use TICRA

Objective: To evaluate the effects of microwave (MW) power and antenna approach methods on extrahepatic tumor seeding and ablation zone size using an ex vivo subcapsular tumor-mimic model. Materials and Methods: Forty-one subcapsular tumor mimics were prepared by injecting a mixture of contrast media into bovine liver blocks. Ablation was performed using low- and high-power protocols (75 W and 100 W for 4 and 3 minutes, respectively). The antenna approach was assessed in two directions: parallel and perpendicular to the capsule. CT scans were obtained before and after the ablation to detect contrast leakage on the hepatic surface. The presence of leakage, ablation zone size, and the timing of the first popping sound were compared between the two groups. Results: Five cases of contrast leakage were observed in the low-power group (n = 21) and 17 in the high-power group (n = 20) (23.8% vs. 85.0%, P < 0.001). Contrast leaks were less frequently observed in the low-power protocol compared to the high-power protocol, regardless of the antenna approach (18.2% [2/11] vs. 80.0% [8/10], P = 0.009 for parallel access; 30.0% [3/10] vs. 90.0% [9/10], P = 0.020 for perpendicular access). The timing of the first popping sound was significantly delayed in the low-power group compared to the high-power group (137.7 ± 51.4 s vs. 77.8 ± 31.4 s, P < 0.001). The size of the ablation zone did not differ significantly between the two power groups (P = 0.415). The parallel and perpendicular antenna approaches did not show significant differences in the number of contrast leaks, popping sound timing, or ablation-zone size (P = 0.536, 0.463, and 0.271, respectively). Conclusion: Low-power MW ablation may be superior to a high-power protocol in reducing the risk of tumor seeding in subcapsular tumors, regardless of the antenna approach.
