본 논문에서는 NEC 코드와 Pareto 유전자 알고리즘 최적화 기법을 이용하여 초소형 유도결합 안테나를 설계하였다. 최적화된 유도결합 안테나 중 몇 가지 표본을 제작하고 성능을 측정하였다. 일반적으로 안테나의 크기가 작아질수록 입력 저항, 대역폭 및 효율이 감소하는데 비하여 제안된 방법으로 설계된 유도결합 안테나는 다른 부가적인 정합회로 없이 우수한 성능을 보인다. 간단한 회로 모델을 도입하여 제안된 유도결합 안테나의 동작원리를 설명하였고, Duroid 기판 위에 평면 구조로 제작하여 RFID 태그 안테나로써 성능을 입증하였다.

The radiation properties and fabrication precautions of a 3D printed, electrically small folded spherical meander wire monopole antenna are investigated. The antenna is self-resonant and shows sufficiently high radiation efficiency at an electrical size ka of 0.4, with the radiation quality factor Q approaching the lower physical bound. In antenna fabrication, the possible structural deformation due to gravity is examined before the antenna frame is 3D-printed. The required conductivity is achieved by multiple manual paintings of a silver paste. The radiation efficiency and pattern show very good agreement with the computed expectations, whereas the resonant frequency deviates by 11.8%. The method to minimize such a fabrication error when using 3D printing technology for wire antennas is discussed.

The ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum available for commercial applications has offered us an opportunity to achieve high-speed wireless communications and high-accuracy location applications. As one of key research areas in UWB technology, a lot of innovative broadband and miniaturization techniques for UWB antennas have been greatly invented and developed for years. This paper reviews the development of UWB antenna design in the past decade. Starting with a brief introduction of the specific requirements and promising applications of UWB systems, the unique design challenges of UWB antennas are highlighted. Next, the important milestones of UWB antenna designs are briefed. After that, a variety of planar UWB antennas invented for broadband operation, miniaturization, and multiple functions are introduced. Last, the comments on the development of UWB antennas in future are shared.

In this paper, the interference in small MIMO antennas having two identical composite right- and left-handed transmission-line(CRLH-TL)-based radiating elements is remarkably decreased. The radiating element has the broadside-capacitive coupling as well as slots to be equivalent to the CRLH-TL to prevent the size from increasing for an LTE high band. The suspended line bridging the two radiating elements is optimized to lower the interference between them down to -23 dB, while the overall MIMO antenna system is compact and its antenna performance is acceptable. The design is tested for 2.5 GHz.

단순 유전 알고리즘을 사용하여 두 개의 인덕터를 가지는 소형 루프 안테나를 최적화하는 방법을 제안한다. 루프내의 인덕터의 위치와 값을 유전 알고리즘을 사용하여 조절하며, RFID 대역과 휴대단말기 이중 대역에서 안테나를 최적화한다. 최적화를 위하여 비주얼 베이직을 사용하여 유전 알고리즘을 구현하였으며, 또한 이를 이용하여 전자기 시뮬레이터를 제어하여 유전자를 평가하였다. 최적화된 RFID 안테나는 중심 주파수 922 MHz에서 10 MHz의 -10 dB 대역폭을 가져 RFID 대역을 만족하며, 휴대단말기용 이중 대역 안테나는 중심 주파수 948 MHz와 1.81 GHz에서 대역폭을 각각 84 MHz와 266 MHz를 가져 GSM과 DCS 대역을 만족한다.

In this paper, Ive propose a bow-tie-shaped meander slot antenna find by a microstrip line to achieve compact size as well as wideband characteristic. While conventional bow-tie slot antennas exhibit wide band characteristic, they have relatively large size. On the other hand, the meander slot antennas are very small, but they reveal quite narrow bandwidth (typically less than 1 %). To realize miniaturized antennas balling large bandwidth, combination of the bow-tie slot and the meander slot geometries is proposed in this paper. Theoretical results show that the proposed antenna with uniform slot width is 65.5 % smaller than that of the conventional bow-tie antenna in size, while the bandwidth is 3 times larger than that of the meander slot antenna. Moreover, the non-uniform slot width antenna shows 60 % smaller in size and about 3.5 times wider in bandwidth than the previous antennas. Measured antenna performance reveals excellent agreement with the predicted values.

This paper presents a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) flexible monopole antenna design on a paper substrate. The proposed antenna is made of iterations of a circular slot inside an octagonal metallic patch. This fractal-based geometry has been deployed to achieve compactness along with improved bandwidth, measured reflection coefficient -10 dB bandwidth ranging from 2.7 to 15.8 GHz. The overall size of the antenna is $26mm{\times}19mm{\times}0.5mm$, which makes it a compact one. The substrate used is paper and the main features like environment friendly, flexibility, green electronics applications and low cost of fabrication are the key factors for the proposed antenna. The aforementioned UWB prototype is suitable for many wireless communication systems such as WiMAX, WiFi, RFID and WSN applications. Antenna has been tested for the effect of bending by placing it over a curved surface of a very small radius of 10 mm.

In this paper, a small internal antenna for a mobile handset is presented using multiband, wideband, and high-isolation multiple-input multiple-output techniques. The proposed antenna consists of three planar inverted-F antennas (PIFAs) that operate in the global system for mobile communication (GSM900), the digital communication system (DCS), the personal communication system (PCS), the universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), and wireless local area network (WLAN) bands with a physical size of $40mm{\times}10mm{\times}10mm$. A resonator attached to the folded PIFA creates dual resonances, achieving a wide bandwidth of approximately 460 MHz, covering the DCS, PCS, and UMTS bands; a meander shorting line is used to improve impedance matching. Additionally, a modified neutralization link is embedded between diversity antennas to enhance isolation, which results in a 6-dB improvement in the isolation and less than 0.1 in the envelope correlation coefficient evaluated from the far-field radiation patterns. Simulation and measurements demonstrate very similar results for S-parameters and radiation patterns. Peak gains show 3.73 dBi, 3.77 dBi, 3.28 dBi, 2.15 dBi, and 5.86 dBi, and antenna efficiencies show 56.15%, 72.15%, 68.59%, 52.92%, and 82.93% for GSM900, DCS, PCS, UMTS, and WLAN bands, respectively.

A simple measurement system is built to estimate the dual-antenna diversity gain at 2.4GHz easily in open lab environment. To obtain multipath fading propagation channel, the system consists of two transmission horn that placed on opposite direction and a rotating stage mechanically changing the position of test dual-antenna with time over distance greater than one wavelength. Estimated diversity is nearly same as theoretical value such that measured diversity gain of 30mm separated is about 6dB similar to theoretical value of 5.7dB and increases monotonically with the increasing separation distance as predicted by the theory. Proposed measurement system that is simple enough to fit in a small space can evaluate the performance of various dual-antennas with a reasonable accuracy with lower 5% difference between the ten sets of measured waveform distribution and theoretical Rayleigh cumulative distribution.

A small size broadband microstrip patch antenna with small ground plane has been fabricated using MEMS. Multiple layer substrates are used to realize small size and broadband characteristics. The microstrip patch is divided into 3 pieces and each patch is connected to each other using a metal microstrip line. The fabrication process is simple and only one mask is needed. Two types of microtrip antennas are fabricated. Type A is the micros trip antenna with metal lines and type B is the microstrip antenna without metal lines. The size of proposed microstip antenna is $8^{*}12^{*}2mm^{3}$ and the experimental results show that the antenna type A and type B have the bandwidth of 420 MHz at 5.3 GHz and 480 MHz at 5.66 GHz, respectively.
