In this paper, the design of 64 array antennas applied to RWP (Radar Wind Profiler) was described. The design point of the antenna is to ensure isolation between each element and to match the vertical / horizontal radiation pattern. To this end, a single element of the array antenna was proposed as a Bend dipole type, and through simulation, When sequentially sending 5 beams including vertical, the east/west/south/north direction was ±20°, and it was confirmed that no Grating Lobe occurred when steering the beam. The 64 array antenna proposed in this paper was designed with performance equal to or higher than that of overseas products, and was confirmed to be applicable to RWP.

In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna was analyzed by using FDTD method. Firstly, the electric field in the microstrip patch antenna was obtained by approximating a Maxwell's equation to a finite difference equation by means of Yee's algorithm. In this case, Mur's 1st approximation and dispersive boundary condition(BBC) were applied to an absorbing boundary condition. We also analyzed a single microstrip patch antenna by using the FDTD method, then calculating the propagative process in the wave of a return loss. Also, as the result that FDTD was applied to 2-array antenna designed to increase the gain of antenna, the measured results was in relatively good accordance with the values calculated by the FDTD method. The calculated impedance, return loss and VSWR were comparatively good. And these results were In relatively good accordance with the measured values.

In this paper, we designed microstrip patch antenna to enhance the weak point of general microstrip patch antenna that has narrow bandwidth and analyzed that. To reduce reactance in probe feed antenna, capacitive gap added to the patch. Using single patch and auxiliary wire, makes dual frequency resonant. So bandwidth is improved and gain also becomes higher. To verify with experiment, PCS band antenna is designed, fabricated. For PCS band antenna, bandwidth is 180 MHz in VSWR<1.5 and gain is 8.6 dBi.

In this paper, a single-feed equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners is used for achieving diverse radiation polarization. The proposed antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is place parallel to an oblique side of the equilateral-triangular patch. Depending on whether the three identically-sized comers of the triangular patch are cut or not, the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna shows linear polarization(LP) or left-hand circular polarization(LHCP) or Tight-hand circular polarization(RHCP). Based on the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners, a novel reconfigurable microstrip antenna with switchable polarization sense is also proposed. The proposed reconfigurable antenna has a simple structure, consisting of a corner-truncated triangular patch, a small triangular conductor, and a microstrip line. Using a biased PIN diode between the patch and the small triangular conductor, it can produce LP or RHCP according to bias voltages. From the measured results, low cross polarization level when operated in the linear state and good axial ratio in the circular state are observed.

In this paper, a microstrip aperture-patch antenna and a microstrip ring antenna, which have single microstrip line feeding systems for the circular polarization, are designed, and experimental results are presented at X-band. The microstrip aperture-patch antenna is characterized by its wide operating frequency range, and the microstrip ring antenna is suitable for a basic radiator in the large array antenna due to its small size. Several design parameters for these antennas are considered and analyzed to improve antenna characteristics such as VSWR bandwidth and axial ratio. Initially, the sizes of the aperture and ring radiator are determined on a basis of the cavity model, then shapes of the patch within the aperture and the inner stub of the ring are optimized using Ensemble software. Measurement results show that the aperture-patch antenna has 25% of VSWR bandwidth and 1.2dB of axial ratio at the boresight, and the ring antenna has 6.7% of VSWR bandwidth and 1.6dB of axial ratio at the boresight.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of antenna correlation on secure transmission in a multi-eavesdropper single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system, where the receiver and eavesdroppers are equipped with correlated antennas. Based on the practical passive eavesdropping system, the new closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) and non-zero secrecy capacity probability are derived to explore the effect of antenna correlation on the system with multiple eavesdroppers. To further analyze the secrecy performance of the investigated system, we theoretically derive the expression of asymptotic SOP to clearly show the diversity order and array gain. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations verify the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

This letter proposes a reconfigurable directional coupler that uses a variable impedance mismatch reflector to achieve high isolation characteristics in the antenna front end. The reconfigurable coupler consists of a directional coupler and a single-pole four-throw (SP4T) switch with different load impedances as a variable load mismatch reflector. Selection of the load impedance by the reflector allows cancellation of the reflected signal due to antenna load mismatch and the leakage from the input to isolation port of the directional coupler, resulting in high isolation characteristics. The performance of the proposed architecture in separating the received (Rx) signal from the transmitted (Tx) signal in the antenna front end was verified by implementing and testing the reconfigurable coupler at 917 MHz for UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications. The proposed reconfigurable directional coupler showed an improvement in the isolation characteristics of more than 20 dB at the operation frequency band.

This contribution focuses on the maximum likelihood (ML) noncoherent synchronization of multi-antenna transceivers working in faded environments and employing ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) transmit technology. In particular, the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) is derived for the general case of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) UWB-IR systems and used to compare the ultimate performance of three basic transmit schemes, thereinafter referred to as single input multiple output (SIMO), MIMO equal signaling (MIMO-ES), and MIMO orthogonal signaling (MIMO-OS) ones. Thus, the noncoherent ML synchronizer is developed for the better performing transmit scheme (i.e., the SIMO one) and its performance is evaluated under both signal acquisition and tracking operating conditions. The performance gain in the synchronization of UWB- IR signals arising by the utilization of the multi-antenna technology is also evaluated.

In this paper, we present theoretical designs for a beam steering phased array antenna that uses a true time delay optical feeder. A variable true time delay is achieved by employing one tunable laser source and high dispersion fibers with different length. The wavelength tunable optical carrier propagation in a high-dipersion fiber realizes a true time delay, with the steering direction set by a single voltage controlling the wavelength. Beamsteering of a phased array antenna is obtained by controlling the tunable laser source. An employment of a high dispersion fiber response shows wide-band operation of beem steering antenna system.
