In this paper, a double-sided planar balun using Microstrip-to-CPW coupled structure is fabricated and measured. The measured amplitude and phase imbalance are, respectively, less than 0.2 dB and 2.1$^{\circ}$ in a wide frequency range from 2.44 GHz to 4.33 GHz. It is expected that the proposed balun can improved the performance of balanced mixer, amplifier and feeding network of antennas. Also, it can be used in many microwave multilayer structures due to its structural characteristics.

In this paper, we designed a multiband monopole antenna for next-generation WLAN system. In conventional WLAN system, UWB antennas were used together, and, because the radiation occurs in different parts depending on the antenna structure, it has the disadvantage of having an unstable impulse response characteristic due to dispersion characteristics. Although a UWB antenna that has suitable radiation pattern for WLAN band, it does not have good impedance matching and has severe echo. Therefore, in this paper, a monopole antenna was designed by using CPW power feed so that various impedances can be easily implemented when designing an antenna and more parameters can be derived that can be used for design for optimal performance.

In this paper, the several printed square loop antennas which modified monopole antennas are proposed. The proposed antennas are reduced about 20% physical size of antenna and miniaturized reactance value of impedance due to fold center part of the loop. They obtained omni-directional radiation patterns with broad bandwidth and feed method used coplanar waveguide to composed single planar. The proposed antenna bandwidth is about 900MHz($2.63{\sim}3.56GHz]$) resonance frequency on $VSWR{\le}2$. it can be sufficiency of S-DMB band.

In this paper, the CPW-fed Ultra-wideband antenna is designed and fabricated for UWB communications. To achieve ultra-wide bandwidth of the antenna, we propose the mutual coupling of two planar monopole antennas. The mutual coupling of monopole pair of the proposed antenna is optimized by adjusting the parameters, the widths of the planar monopoles and the space between two monopoles. Two UWB antennas with different horizontal sections of the CPW-fed monopole antenna are fabricated and measured to examine the mutual coupling effects on the monopole pair antenna. The measured result show that two antennas are satisfied with UWB communication band(3.1$\sim$10.6Ghz).

In this paper, a co-planar waveguide(CPW) fed zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna with frequency reconfigurable radiating structures is fabricated and measured. The unit cell of proposed antenna consists of a series metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor and two shunt line inductors which are shorted through the via. The proposed antenna is designed based on a composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line with two unit cells and it has open ended structure in order to radiate electromagnetic energy mainly on the shunt arm. In order to reduce the antenna size and to exhibit a frequency reconfigurable ability using diode switches four straight strips bent by 90 degrees are used as shunt inductors. The total size of fabricated antenna is $0.22{\lambda}_0{\times}0.16{\lambda}_0$ at zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) frequency. The measured maximum gain and bandwidth (VSWR ${\leq}2$) are 3.1 dBi and 56MHz at ZOR frequency of 2.97 GHz, respectively. This type of antenna can be applied to a frequency reconfigurable antenna system with triple bands.

In this paper, a new design for a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) fed wide-band slot antenna is presented. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the slot antenna, we proposed the tapering slot structure. A various resonance modes are generated in the tapering slot. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is about 12:1 ($2.0GHz{\sim}24.3GHz$) with $VSWR{\le}2$. Simulation results for return loss and radiation pattern are presented.

In this paper, coplanar waveguide fed antennas (CPWFAs) insetting two slits to boundary of the square microstrip patch are presented. These slits play roles in not only lowering a resonant frequency but also fine-tuning for the proposed antenna together with open stub of CPW feed line. The CPWFAs were designed and manufactured using microwave dielectrics (Al,Mg)TaO$_2$ having high dielectric-constant ($\varepsilon$r=20). The return loss and input impedance of the CPWFAs were investigated in terms of the slit length and open stub length of CPW feed line. It is shown that a resonant frequency decreases as the slit length increases.

In this paper, a novel ultra wide band(UWB) antenna with tri-band notch capability is proposed. The proposed antenna can reject WiMAX(3.3~3.7 GHz), WLAN IEEE 802.11a/n(5.15~5.825 GHz), and ITU(8.025~8.4 GHz) bands. Band rejection capability is achieved only split ring resonators(SRRs) and complementary SRRs(CSRRs). The SRR under the radiating patch, the CSRR loaded on the radiating patch, and the CSRRs on the ground of the CPW feeding reject the WiMAX, WLAN, and ITU bands, respectively. The simulation and measurement results demonstrate the performances of the proposed antenna.

ZOR(zeroth order resonance) antenna for 2.45GHz WLAN(wireless local area network) is designed by use of CRLH-TL(composite right left handed transmission line) meta-material. The electrical length of conventional antennas is determined generally according to the resonant frequency, whereas that of ZOR antenna can be determined without reference to the resonant frequency. Therefore ZOR antenna has advantage in miniaturization of antenna in comparison with conventional antennas. In order to design such ZOR antenna, first unit cell with electrical length shorter than a quarter wavelength at 2.45GHz is designed to the some characteristics of homogeneous medium. In order to decrease resonant frequency and enhance frequency bandwidth, the proposed antenna is fed by CPW(co-planar waveguide) and short stub between radiation patch and ground plane is used for obtaining both higher inductance and smaller capacitance than previous mush-room type of CRLH-TL.
