For combating multipath fading in wireless radio environment, diversity schemes is useful. In this paper, for performance improvement of polarization diversity system, we analyzed a two-branch polarization diversity at the receiving end of a mobile link when the transmitter emits a circularly polarized wave. And In order to calculate the correlation coefficient considering the XPD(cross polarization discrimination) between the received signals for the two diversity branches, a simple theoretical model of circular polarization diversity is adopted and calculate correlation coefficient. From the analysis results, it is seen that the correlation coefficient of circular polarization diversity evaluated by the XPD is less than that of vertical polarization diversity. And also, we designed and fabricated circular polarization diversity system with microstrip antenna. we analyzed data measured in indoor NLOS environment using fabricated circular polarization diversity system. From the measurement results, it is clearly seen that the diversity effect of circular polarization diversity system is higher 3dB than vertical polarization diversity system.

In this paper,. with the aim of achieving the expected performance improvement for a polarization diversity system, we analyzed two-branch polarization diversity at the receiving end of a mobile link which a transmitter emits circularly polarized wave. In this analysis, to calculate the correlation coefficient considered by XPD(cross polarization discrimination) between the two received signals, a simple theoretical model of circular polarization diversity is adopted. From the analysis results, it is clearly seen that the correlation coefficient of circular polarization diversity evaluated by the XPD is less than that of conventional linear polarization diversity. And also, we designed and implemented a circular polarization diversity system with micro-strip antenna. By using the circular polarization diversity system, we analyzed the measured data in indoor NLOS(Non-Line-Of-Sight) environments. From this analysis results, it is also clearly seen that the diversity effect of circular polarization diversity system shows better performance compared to the conventional linear diversity system by about 3 dB high.

In this paper, we analyzed new two-branch polarization diversity at the receiving end of a mobile link which a transmitter emits circularly polarized wave. To analyze the correlation coefficient considered by XPD(Cross Polarization Discrimination) between the two received signals, a simple theoretical model of circular polarization diversity is adopted and experimental measurements are also conducted. From both theoretical and measurement results, it can be seen that the proposed circular polarization diversity scheme is more effective than that of the conventional linear polarization diversity.

A small reconfigurable patch antenna is proposed to achieve polarization diversity for digital multimedia broadcasting systems at 2.6 GHz. To obtain polarization diversity, a pair of on-slit PIN diodes is inserted in each diagonal of a cross-shaped patch. Thus, four PIN-diodes on these slits are utilized to change the connection of the slits and thus achieve polarization. Bias circuits for the diodes are allocated in the cutting corner of the cross-shaped patch to minimize the antenna size. The antenna produces left-hand circular polarization, right-hand circular polarization, or linear polarization, depending on the PIN-diode status. Analysis of circular polarization operation is explicated. Measurements show a gain of about 1.5 dB, a cross polarization of about -20 dB, and an axial ratio of about 2.5 dB.

In this paper, a design for a novel microstrip antenna with circular polarization diversity is proposed and experimentally investigated. This antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is located at the corner of a circular patch. The polarization state can be switched electrically by setting a diode to on or off. The novel structure we describe here enables the optimization of the input match for both polarizations. From the measured result, good axial ratios are observed at the operating frequencies.

본 논문에서는 비가시거리(NLOS) 전파환경에서 원형편파를 송신하고 수직, 수평편파 안테나로 수신하는 원형편파 다이버시티(CV-CH)방식에 대하여 이론적 모델을 제시하고 이의 우수성을 확인하였다. 원형편파 다이버 시티에 대한 간단한 이론적 모델을 통하여 XPD에 대한 상관계수 평가식을 유도하였으며, 비가시거리 전파환경에서 원형편파다이버시티 경우 직선편파다이버시티(VV-VH) 경우보다 교차편파분리도(XPD)가 약 6~7 dB 정도 낮게 됨을 알 수 있었다. 그 결과 원형편파 다이버시티 경우의 상관계수는 기존의 직선 편파다이버시티보다 더 낮은 상관계수 값을 나타내는 이론적 모델을 제시하였고 측정된 결과로부터 이의 성능을 확인하였다.

COMS will transmit its observed data, Sensor Data, through L-Band with linear polarization. To avoid link loss caused by polarization discrepancy between satellite and SOC DATS, the L-Band antenna at SOC DATS should be linearly polarized. However, SOC DATS is supposed to share single antenna with SOC TTC, so the antenna should be circularly polarized. To cope with about 3dB loss, SOC DATS is designed to receive Sensor Data through two orthogonal circular polarizations, RHCP (Right-Hand Circular Polarization) and LHCP (Left-Hand Circular Polarization). Eventually, SOC DATS can obtain 2.6dB of combining gain through diversity combiner in MODEM/BB. This paper presents the verification on the diversity combining of SOC DATS with test configuration and results in depth.

본 논문에서는 위성 DMB 시스템에서 원형편파 변환 특성을 갖는 reconfigurable 원형 링 슬롯 안테나를 제안한다. 제안된 안테나는 원형 링 슬롯과 원형편파를 발생시키기 위한 4개의 튜닝 스터브로 구성되어 있다. 슬롯과 스터브 사이 각각의 경계면에 4개의 PIN 다이오드를 실장 하였으며 각각의 PIN 다이오드는 외부 DC전압으로 인해 동작되며 RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization) 모드 또는 LHCP(Left Hand Circular Polarization) 모드로 동작하도록 하였다. 측정결과, 제안된 안테나는 임피던스 대역폭(VSWR${\leq}$2)이 LHCP 모드에서 570MHz(2.47-3.04GHz), RHCP 모드에서 560MHz(2.45-3.01GHz)로 나타났으며 중심주파수 2.63GHz에서의 최대 방사이득은 LHCP 모드에서 4.76dBi, RHCP 모드에서 3.1dBi를 얻었다. 또한 측정된 축비 대역폭은 RHCP, LHCP 모드에서 약 100MHz를 얻었다. 제안된 안테나는 편파변환 특성이 요구되는 환경의 위성통신, 무선랜 및 광대역 무선통신 시스템에 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna with frequency and polarization diversities is proposed. A U-slot is incorporated into a square patch, and a PIN diode is utilized to switch the slot on and off, which realizes the frequency diversity characteristic. The polarization diversities among linear polarization (LP), right-hand circular polarization (RHCP), and left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) are also obtained by switching three PIN diodes on the slot and the truncating corners of a square patch on and off. The antenna design and experimental results are presented.

본 논문에서는 스위칭 소자를 사용한 새로운 형태의 편파 다이버시티 개구 결합 원편파 패치 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나의 구조는 정사각형 패치의 모서리를 왜곡시킨 단일 패치이며, 급전은 전력 분배기 형태의 마이크로스트립 급전에 Schottky 다이오드를 삽입시킨 형태이다. 스위칭 소자인 Schottky 다이오드는 급전의 전력 분배 지점에서 $\lambda$/4 떨어진 위치에 삽입하였으며, Schottky diode의 ON/OFF 동작으로 방사체인 패치의 급전이 변화를 이루어 좌$.$우 선회 원편파로 변화되는 구조로 설계하였다. 스위칭 동작에 의해 측정되어진 안테나의 3 dB 축비 대역폭은 약 2 %로 측정되어졌다.
