This paper presents a basic characteristics of 4-element circular array dipole antennas for 4-sector beam steering. The coupled integral equations for the unknown current distributions on dipole elements are derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments. The parasitic elements have been used to increase the directional gain and the beam is steered electronically either by sswitching between the parasitic elements or switching the position of the active element. The parasitic elements are switched short-circuited or open-circuited as required to steer a directional beam. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, the radiation pattern was compared with experiments.

In this paper, a compact rectenna system is designed using a circular sector antenna with harmonic-rejecting characteristics and a direct impedance matching method. The system is designed with bandpass filtering performed by the harmonic-rejection of the circular sector antenna and without impedance matching circuit for the diodes by the direct impedance matching technique. Therefore, while the rectifying circuit of the proposed system can be implemented without a bandpass filter and a impedance matching circuit, it is integrated on the back side of the antenna using precise fabrication techniques for coaxial feedings without degrading the system performances corresponding to the feeding points. From the experimental results, the optimized rectenna system has presented excellent performances of a conversion efficiency of more than 52 % and a conversion voltages of more than 1.5 V at 2.5 GHz.

본 논문에서는 4 개의 다이폴 소자로 구성한 4 섹터 지향성 절환 원형 배열 다이폴 안테나의 기본 특성을 검토하고 있다. 안테나의 방사 지향성이 순차적으로 4 섹터 절환이 가능하도록 하기 위해 급전 및 무급전 소자를 적절히 이용하고 있으며, 무급전 소자의 유도 전류에 의한 원형 배열 안테나의 특성 개선을 위해 급전 소자를 제외한 나머지 소자들을 단락 또는 개방시켜 방사 지향성 및 이득 특성 등을 계산하고 있다.

This paper presents the basic characteristics of a 5 element dipole array antenna which has a four parastic element and one driving element at the center of the circular array. The coupled integral equations for the unknown current distributions on dipole elements are derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments. The numerical results show that the highest power gain of 7.8 dBi is obtained at radius of d = 0.3lλ when two short circuited parastic element neighbors. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, the radiation pattern is compared with Preston's results.
