A multi-band, compact, and complex vehicle roof antenna has become important in terms of car exterior design and multi-functions which include Radio, DAB/DMB, SXM, GNSS, Telematics, and V2X. In this paper, we propose a compact multi-band V2X pole-type roof antenna. Using impedance change characteristic, a single pole antenna which has multiband such as radio, DAB/DMB, telematics, and V2X band is proposed. With two patch antennas for GNSS and SXM, the dimension of a multiband roof antenna is 131x63x37mm only.

본 논문에서는 PMP에 적용 가능한 소형의 듀얼 밴드(IEEE 802.11b: 2.4~2.5 GHz, 11a: 5.15~5.825 GHz) 이중 대역 MIMO 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 2 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 PIFA(평면형 역 F형 안테나)와 5 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 루프(loop) 안테나로 구성되었다. 두 포트의 안테나는 각각 PIFA와 루프로 구성되어져 있으며, 상호 간의 격리도(isolation)를 높이기 위하여 편파 방향과 최대 방사 방향이 서로 수직이 되도록 그라운드 가장자리에 직교(orthogonal) 구조로 배치하였다. 또한, 상관도(correlation) 저감과 더욱 높은 격리도를 얻기 위해, 2 GHz 동작 주파수 대역에서 두 포트의 PIFA가 $\lambda_g$/4 길이의 선(connecting line)으로 연결되어 있으며, 5 GHz 동작 주파수 대역에서는 그라운드 뒷면에 두 루프 안테나 사이를 연결하는 사다리꼴의 평면(connecting plane)을 이용하였다. 듀얼 밴드 MIMO 안테나는 WLAN 대역에서 충분한 이득을 가지며, PMP(Portable Media Player)에 적용 가능한 소형의 안테나로 설계되었다.

본 논문에서는 스마트 안경용 초소형 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 MIMO 안테나는 가깝게 놓인 두 개의 대칭 IFA(Inverted-F Antenna) 안테나 사이에 접힌 T-형태의 isolator를 삽입하고, 접지면에 추가로 한 쌍의 slots을 설계함으로써 격리도 개선 및 임피던스 매칭 특성을 얻었다. 제안된 안테나는 2.4 GHz ISM(Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) 대역에서 동작하며, $35mm{\times}9mm{\times}0.8mm$의 작은 크기를 갖는다. 제안된 안테나는 phantom을 사용하여 인체의 영향을 고려해 설계하였으며, 측정실험을 통해 18 dBm의 입력하에서 1.38 W/kg의 SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)값을 가짐을 확인하였다. 제안된 안테나의 성능은 기존의 연구결과와 비교하여 검증하였다.

In this paper, compact linear dual polarized series-fed $1{\times}2$ linear and $2{\times}2$ planar arrays antennas for airborne SAR applications are proposed. The proposed antenna design consists of a square radiating patch that is placed on top of the substrate, a quarter wave transformer and $50-{\Omega}$ matched transformer. Matching between a radiating patch and the $50-{\Omega}$ microstrip line is accomplished through a direct coupled-feed technique with the help of an impedance inverter (${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer) placed at both horizontal and vertical planes, in the case of the $2{\times}2$ planar array. The overall size for the prototype-1 and prototype-2 fabricated antennas are $1.9305{\times}0.9652{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$ and $1.9305{\times}1.9305{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$, respectively. The fabricated structure has been tested, and the experimental results are similar to the simulated ones. The CST MWS simulated and vector network analyzer measured reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) results were compared, and they indicate that the proposed antenna prototype-1 yields the impedance bandwidth >140 MHz (9.56-9.72 GHz) defined by $S_{11}$<-10 dB with 1.43%, and $S_{21}$<-25 dB in the case of prototype-2 (9.58-9.74 GHz, $S_{11}$< -10 dB) >140 MHz for all the individual ports. The surface currents and the E- and H-field distributions were studied for a better understanding of the polarization mechanism. The measured results of the proposed dual polarized antenna were in accordance with the simulated analysis and showed good performance of the S-parameters and radiation patterns (co-pol and cross-pol), gain, efficiency, front-to-back ratio, half-power beam width) at the resonant frequency. With these features and its compact size, the proposed antenna will be suitable for X-band airborne synthetic aperture radar applications.

A novel fully-printed microstrip antenna with negative first resonance and dual polarization is proposed. The radiator is printed on the 1-layer substrate instead of multilayers. The -1st resonance results from a composite right- and left-handed(CRLH) structure that has a circumferentially interlocked gap capacitively coupling a patch with a shorted-ring. This compact antenna is provided with a dual-polarization capability by creating two orthogonal linear polarizations in one body with coaxial feeds. The design is carried out by doing full-wave EM field simulation which is compared with the measurement of the fabricated antenna prototype. The measured results give the gain of 5 dBi and the efficiency of 78% at the -1st resonance mode as the center frequency of a downlink channel of the bandwidth over 20 MHz with 29 dB polarization isolation for mobile communication.

To achieve high-speed (giga-bit) connectivity for short-range wireless multimedia applications, the millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless personal area networks with directional antennas are gaining increased interest. Due to the use of directional antennas and mmWave communications, the probability of non-interfering transmissions increases in a localized region. Network throughput can be increased immensely by the concurrent time allocation of non-interfering transmissions. The problem of finding optimum time allocation for concurrent transmissions is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we propose two enhanced versions of previously proposed multi-hop concurrent transmission (MHCT) schemes. To increase network capacity, the proposed schemes efficiently make use of the free holes in the time-allocation map of the MHCT scheme; thus, making it more compact.

This paper presents the design of a palm-sized metamaterial antenna system having reconfigurable polarization as well as dual-band characteristics. Basically, three antennas are laid by 45 degrees in order and excited by a compact metamaterial dual-band power-divider of the in-phase outputs, and the radiated fields of the antennas are mixed to turn the vector of the polarization to another. The validity of the proposed method is verified by observing the in-phase outputs from the odd-numbered power-dividing device for both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz, and checking the changeable polarization with the antenna gain over 2 dBi for all the polarizations.

In this paper, the microstrip anntenna with broad bandwidth is designed using parasitic element. In the designed cofiguration, parasitic element of the same resonating length but different width which is coupled to the nonradiating edge of a rectangular patch antenna. The driven element aloe is fed and the other part is operated as parasitic element. So the different patchs are resonating at differnt frequencies and this multiple resonance increase the bandwidth. The overall size of the antenna is not increased by adding parasitic element to a driven patch. Compared to the available wideband microstrip antennas, the designed antenna structure is bery compact. A theoretical explanation of the rectangular patch antenna coupled with prarsitic is analyzed by extending the theory of coupled microstrip lines. The theoretical and experimental results for a patch coupled with a single parasitic are presented.

A compact ($0.26{\times}0.05$ ${\lambda}_0$ at 2.27 GHz) metamaterial-based zeroth-order resonant antenna system consisting of epsilon-negative (ENG) and mu-negative (MNG) structures is proposed. Although the spacing between the ENG and MNG antennas is only 0.09 ${\lambda}_0$, the isolation is relatively high (27.6 dB at 2.27 GHz). Furthermore, the envelope correlation is only 0.015. The radiation efficiencies of the proposed two radiators are also very high (90% on average).

In this paper, a compact planar ultra wideband (UWB, 3.1~10.6GHz) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed. This antenna consists of two monopole planar UWB antennas and T-shaped stub decoupling between two antennas. The T-shaped stub improve the isolation characteristic at the wide band. The evolution strategy(ES) algorithm is employed to optimized design. As a result, optimized antenna has a return loss less than -10dB and the isolation less than -15dB from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz. During the optimization process, the antenna gain is enhanced at lower band and the envelope correlation coefficient(ECC) is lower than 0.003.
