We report the performance of a four-element, 11.67 GHz, $high-{T}_c$ superconducting (HTS) microstrip antenna array with corporate feed network. The HTS antenna array used in this work had a circular polarization for direct broadcasting satellite (DBS) system. Our array antennas were designed and built on a 0.5 mm thick MgO substrate. To compare the superconducting antennas with normal conducting counterpart, One antenna pattern was fabricated from gold thin film, and a second pattern was fabricated from ${YBa}_2{Cu}_3{O}_7-x(YBCO)$ superconducting thin film. To improve the axial ratio of circularly polarized arrays, sequential rotation technique were used. Efficiency, radiation pattern, return loss and bandwidth were measured for both antennas at cryogenic temperature and room temperature. The array produced good circular polarization, and the gain of the array at 77 K, relative to a copper array at room temperature was approximately 1.54 dB. The measured return loss of our HTS antenna array was 35.79 dB at the resonant frequency of 11.67 GHz and The total effective bandwidth was about 3.4 %. The results showed that high-temperature superconductors, when used in microstrip arrays, improved the efficiency of the HTS antenna array for circularly polarization.

We present a broad-bandwidth comb-spacing-swept source (CSWS) based on a differential polarization delay line (DPDL) for interferometric three-dimensional (3D) imaging. The comb spacing of the CSWS is repeatedly swept by the tunable DPDL in the multiwavelength source to provide depth-scanning optical coherence tomography (OCT). As the polarization differential delay of the DPDL is tuned from 5 to 15 ps, the comb spacing along the wavelength continuously varies from 1.6 to 0.53 nm, respectively. The wavelength range of various semiconductor optical amplifiers and the cavity feedback ratio of the tunable fiber coupler are experimentally selected to obtain optimal conditions for a broader 3-dB bandwidth of the multiwavelength spectrum and thus provide a higher axial resolution of $35{\mu}m$ in interferometric OCT imaging. The proposed CSWS-OCT has a simple imaging interferometer configuration without reference-path scanning and a simple imaging process without the complex Fourier transform. 3D surface images of a via-hole structure on a printed circuit board and the top surface of a coin were acquired.

본 논문에서는 SDMB(Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 시스템에서 동작하는 고 이득 광대역 안테나를 구현하였다. 제안된 안테나는 표면파를 억제하기 위한 SAP(Shorted Annular Patch) 구조와 이득, 대역폭 그리고 지향성을 개선시키기 위하여 $0.25 {\lambda}_0$ 간격을 갖는 3차원 배열의 기생 SAP로 구성되었다. 원형 패치상의 서로 반대 방향으로 농인 두 개의 슬릿을 이용하여 RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization)로 동작하도록 하였다. 모의 실험 결과, 제안된 안테나의 최대 방사 이득은 기존의 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나에 비해서 5.22 dBi 개선된 12.6 dBi로 나타났다. 제작된 안테나는 동작 주파수 2.63 GHz에서 최대 방사 이득이 10.5 dBi로 나타났다. 측정된 임피던스 대역폭$(VSWR{\leq}2)$은 기존의 마이크로스트림 패치 안테나에 비해서 300 MHZ 개선된 $360 MHz(2.488{\sim}2.848 GHz)$이며, HPBW(Half Power Beam Width)는 $45.8^{\circ}$, FBR(Front Back Ratio)은 15.49dBi로 나타났다. 3dB 축비 대역폭은 220 MHz$(2.54{\sim}2.76 GHz)$를 얻었다.

This paper presents the analysis of the mode characteristics of an annular ring microstrip patch antenna for circular polarization with attachment mode using method of moments in the spectral domain. For a probe excitation, the input impedance are obtained by using the single mode approximation for both the $TM_{11}$ and $TM_{12}$ modes and compared with those by Vector Hankel Transform. While the $TM_{11}$ mode has a high Q, it is a poor radiating mode; the $TM_{12}$ mode is more suitable for antenna applications. It is also shown that the bandwidth of the $TM_{12}$ mode is wider than that of the $TM_{11}$ mode in terms of axial ratio for circular polarizatio

The LHCP circularly polarized antenna operating at DBS band is developed by employing the sequential-rotation technique in which each subarray is comprised the three truncated-corner patch square element. Antenna designed with sequentially-related technique whose M=3, p=2 has the effect of improved axial-ratio bandwidth, cross-polarization etc. And it is proved that the degradation of radiation pattern can be reduced significantly by minimizing the radiation loss of feeding line structure. Antenna designed shows extremely low side lobe level of below - 25 dB in the diagonal plane and cross-polarization level of below -20 dB in the all plane. And these performances comply with the array antenna specification for DBS.

A microstrip polarized 8${\times}$2 linear phased array antenna with four 4-bit phase shifters is designed at 10 GHz. The 180$^{\circ}$and 90$^{\circ}$ sections of the phase shifter are of the switched line type, and the rests are of the loaded line type. A 2${\times}$2 sequential sub-array is adopted for a broad axial ratio bandwidth. The construction of the array antenna is of the tile type placing the phase shifters on the same layer containing the feed network. The element spacing is chosen to be 0.45λ$\sub$0/ to exclude the grating lobe. Measurement results show a gain 9.69 dB at broadside and 8.3 dB at the beam-tilt angle of 16$^{\circ}$ by imposing a progressive phase of 90$^{\circ}$.

This letter presents a novel compact circularly polarized patch antenna for Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite System (GPS/GLONASS) applications. The proposed antenna is composed of a simple square radiating patch fed by a capacitive dual-feeder to increase the impedance bandwidth and a lumped element hybrid coupler to achieve the broadband characteristic of the axial ratio (AR). The realized antenna dimensions are $28mm{\times}28mm{\times}4mm$, which is the most compact size among the dual-band GPS/GLONASS antennas reported to date. The measured results demonstrate that the proposed antenna has a gain of 2.5 dBi to 4.2 dBi and an AR of 0.41 dB to 1.51 dB over the GPS/GLONASS L1 band (1.575 GHz to 1.61 GHz).
