This paper is designed and producted the microstrip patch antenna which used aperture coupled feed structure, and had a comparatively hish gain and headband characteristic with a PCS substitution repeater antenna. The proposed antenna transformed a coupled slot into a H-type in order to improve a characteristic of a general aperture coupled feed antenna. It is this H-type form slot reduces back lobe from the antenna backside at the same time that a coupling between a power feed and patches is iccreased, and to have maximized a gain of an antenna. As a result of having measured the antenna which the VSWR was 1.5 or below and tied up the gain than 7.5dBi in the $1750{\sim}1870$[MHz] that was a PCS substitution, and a beamwidth became in $80^{\circ}$ and radio waves shadow was local, but accomplishment did PCS mobile communication service in building me smoothly, but confirmed what practical use can become.

The problems of electromagnetic coupling and radiation in an aperture-coupled microstrip antenna structure are discussed while focusing on the difference between two representative field configuration: parasitic-type and cavity-type. Based on the discussion, a critical look is taken at the validity of a previous description of the coupling mechanism of m aperture-coupled microstrip antenna.

This article describes an observation that the aperture coupling mechanisms in the aperture coupled microstrip antenna can be divided into two categories, cavity and parasitic types, depending on the separation between the microstrip patch and the ground plane. The similar phenomenon was observed in the relatively simple gap coupled microstrip antenna. The specific characteristics between two coupling mechanisms is discussed.

The bandwidth enhancement of an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna(ACMPA) with a high permittivity feed substrate suitable for the integration with MMIC is investigated using variation of an aperture width. As an aperture width increases, the 10 dB return loss bandwidth increases due to the increase of the mutual resonance region between a patch resonance and an aperture resonance. The bandwidth of an ACMPA with extended aperture width is increased up to 35.3 % from 20.8 % of the ACMPA with an aperture of a typical aspect ratio 10:1. The degradation of the radiation characteristics of an ACMPA due to the increase of an aperture width is very small.

In this paper, the miniaturization of aperture-coupled RHCP patch antenna for the GPS system is treated. Circularly polarization characteristics is implemented by truncating diagonal corners of the square patch. Antenna size is reduced by inserting four uniform slits at the patch edges, which was equivalently lengthened the surface current by meandering it, This antenna uses aperture-coupled feeding structure with crossed-slot shape in order to give easy miniaturization of RHCP patch antenna. Simulated and measured results show that $42.7\%$ lower antenna size is obtained, and also $56\%$ lower -10dB bandwidth and $38.5\%$ lower 3dB AR bandwidth are obtained. when the proposed design scheme is applied to a commercial GPS antenna structure, $42.9\%$ lower patch size and $56\%$ lower 3dB AR bandwidth compared to commercial antenna at the same frequency are obtained.

Aperture-coupled microstrip antenna is one type of microstrip antennas. This type of antenna has bandwidth wider than simple microstrip antenna. Herein, we use two substrates, that have the same dielectric constant 2.47 (PTFE-quartz) in which upper substrate is a rectangular patch. The microstrip patch is fed by a microstrip line which is printed on lower substrate, through an aperture or slot in the common ground plane of patch and microstrip feed. This antenna is analyzed by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method the specific design frequency 10 GHz and match impedance is 50 ohms. The simulation results of its characteristics are input impedance, return loss, VSWR and radiation patterns respectively.

A S / X dual broad band patch antenna with shared aperture structure is fabricated. A $2{\times}2$ perforated patch is used for S-band operation and a $2{\times}2$ patch antenna array is integrated in the $2{\times}2$ perforation for X-band operation. The measurement results of a S / X dual broad band patch antenna with shared aperture structure show the broad band characteristics larger than 20 % in both bands.

In this paper, a novel series feeding cross-aperture coupled microstrip antenna with the effect of hybrid feeding is proposed and demonstrated experimentally to improve narrow axial ratio bandwidth of cross-aperture coupled antenna with single feeding among the various methods for generating circular polarization. The validity of a proposed series feeding cross-aperture coupled microstrip antenna is shown by comparing experimental results between the reported and the proposed microstrip antenna, and 2${\times}$2 array microstrip antenna based on the proposed single microstrip antenna used sequential rotation technique to accomplish broader axial ratio bandwidth. In the proposed single and 2${\times}$2 array microstrip antenna, the measured axial ratio bandwidths are 110 ㎒(4.6%) and 420 ㎒(17.5%), maximum gains are 8.2 ㏈i and 12.5 ㏈i, 3 dB gain bandwidths are above 400 ㎒(16.7%), and impedance bandwidths for the VSWR<1.5 are 240 ㎒(10%) and 500 ㎒(20.8%), respectively.

In this paper, dual-polarized 2${\times}$2 array antenna is designed and fabricated for the polarization diversity applications in wireless LAN system.

The isolation for two ports is -40dB and the antenna gain is measured as 14.3${\pm}$0.2dBi in the operating frequency band of wireless LAN.

In this paper, the design of a dual-polarization rectangular microstrip patch antenna with high isolation between two feeding ports excited by using both an aperture-coupled feed (port 1) and a 3-dimensional microstrip feed (port 2) is presented. From the simulation using the commercial program IE3D, the optimum values of the antenna parameters are investigated at both two feed structures and the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. Experimental results confirmed that an bandwidth of the antenna is about 17 % and the isolation of two ports is great than 30 dB over all frequency bands.
