A perfect matching is the desire of antenna designers. In this paper, we improve the matching of antenna designing. In general, the efficiency of antennas has many improvements. In this paper, we choose to extend matching by adding the slots in the basic microstrip-fed rectangular slot antenna. We called it as "parasitic slots". The dominant characteristic of this addition is double efficient improvement matching and other characteristics of antenna are similar. It means that the microstrip-fed rectangular slot antenna with parasitic slots has all characteristics as same as the microstrip-fed rectangular slot antenna without parasitic slots. The antenna with parasitic slots has better matching better than the antenna without parasitic slots.

An antipodal Vivaldi antenna with a compact parasitic patch to overcome radiation performance degradations in the high-frequency band is proposed. For this purpose, a double asymmetric trapezoidal parasitic patch is designed and added to the aperture of an antipodal Vivaldi antenna. The patch is designed to efficiently focus the beam toward the end-fire direction at high frequencies by utilizing field coupling between the main radiating patch and the inserted parasitic patch. As a result, this technique considerably improves the gain and stability of radiation patterns at high frequencies. The proposed antenna has a peak gain greater than 9 dBi over the frequency range of 6-26.5 GHz.

In this paper, a triple-band printed dipole antenna using parasitic elements is proposed for the multiple wireless services. The proposed antenna is designed and experimentally analyzed at the bands of PCS, IMT-2000, and ISM services. To achieve triple frequency operation, the proposed antenna contains two parasitic elements, which act as additional resonators by coupling from the driving dipole antenna. From the measured results, the resonant frequencies of this antenna are 1.79 ㎓, 2.03 ㎓, and 2.41 ㎓ and the measured impedance bandwidths are 90 MHz(1760∼1850 MHz), 210 MHz(1,930∼2,130 MHz), and 30 MHz(2,400∼2,430 MHz) for VSWR<2. The measured antenna gains are 2.14 ㏈i, 0.9 ㏈i, and 0.5 ㏈i, respectively. Antenna parameters for trifle-band operation are investigated and several antenna characteristics are discussed.

In this paper, a wide band helical antenna for mobile handset using parasitic element effect has been investigated. To obtain the effect of parasitic element, we utilized the cylindrical conductor which is not feed. As thickness of cylindrical conductor is increasing, second and third resonance frequency become abruptly variable. In case of that 4.5mm diameter parasitic element cylindrical conductor is inserted, normal mode helical antenna obtained bandwidth of around 900 MHz on the limit of R. L., - 5 dB.

This paper proposes miniaturized broadband parasitic patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a probe fed reduced size main patch and U-shaped parasitic patches. The parasitic patches are incorporated to the radiating edges of the main patch to miniaturize the antenna size. The broadband impedance matching can be achieved by either E-plane or H-plane electromagnetic coupling between main patch and parasitic elements. The size of radiating elements is $18{\times}17.6\;mm^2$ and the overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate and ground plane is $25{\times}30{\times}4\;mm^3$. The fabricated antenna on a FR4 substrate shows two resonant frequencies(5.12 GHz and 6.08 GHz) with 27.3 %(1.5 GHz) fractional bandwidth at 5.5 GHz center frequency. The calculated and measured radiation patterns are almost similar to conventional patch antenna.

Novel design of a wideband monopole antenna for DVB-H service is presented. The proposed antenna is designed based on a monopole antenna. It consists of folded monopole and parallel parasitic element. The folded segment of the folded monopole makes the antenna shorter. The length of the parasitic element obtains additional resonance frequencies. The gap distance between the folded monopole and the parasitic element is a key parameter to control impedance matching for wideband operation. The antenna has wide band performance, good impedance and radiation characteristics from 470 MHz to 870 MHz. The measured return loss for operating frequencies over DVB-H band is better than 10 dB. Good radiation patterns are also obtained. The measured results are compared with calculated results using Ansoft HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator).

We propose a switched beam-forming antenna that satisfies not only ultra-wideband characteristics but also beam-forming in the WLAN frequency band using an ultra-wideband antenna and passive parasitic elements applying a broadband optimal reactance load algorithm. We design a power and phase estimation function and an error correction function by re-analyzing and normalizing all the components of the parasitic array using control system engineering. The proposed antenna is compared with an antenna with a pin diode and reactance load value, respectively. The pin diode is located between the passive parasitic elements and ground plane. An antenna beam can be formed in eight directions according to the pin diode ON (reflector)/OFF (director) state. The antenna with a reactance load value achieves a better VSWR and gain than the antenna with a pin diode. We confirm that a beam is formed in eight directions owing to the RF switch operation, and the measured peak gain is 7 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 10 dBi at 5.8 GHz.

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 wideband stacked patch antenna with parasitic elements, rectangular and triangle shaped patches, is proposed. Two different shaped parasitic elements are placed in the above of main rectangular microstrip patch antenna in order to achieve wide bandwidth for 860 MHz band. Coupling between the main patch and parasitic patches is realized by thick air gap. The gap and locations of parasitic patches are found to be the main factor of the wideband impedance matching. The proposed antenna is designed on a ground plane with small size of $119mm{\times}109mm$ for application of compact transceivers. And the impedance bandwidth of the antenna should satisfied CDMA band to the 780MHz~890MHz.

This paper describes the design optimization of parasitic elements used for TACAN broadband antenna. We deployed parasitic elements arranged in a circular array to electronically rotate the antenna instead of employing a mechanically rotated antenna to generate the composite radiation pattern of 15 Hz and 135 Hz including bearing information and to meet the harmonic contents specification of MIL-STD-291C. We performed the simulation for optimization of the parasitic elements and fabricated the antenna composed of 16 parasitic elements of 15 Hz and 63 parasitic elements of 135 Hz. With harmonics magnitude reduction by increasing the number of steps using vector composition of the reflectors, the measured result meets the specification of MIL-STD-291C.
