This paper presents a folded stripline-fed small broadband disk-loaded monopole antenna with vertical ground plane. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna can be enhanced by electromagnetic coupling between the shorted rectangular disk and the probe with folded strip line. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is $37.6\%$ for $VSWR\leq2$ with the center frequency at 2.313 GHz and has the physical dimensions of only $11mm\times11mm\times11mm$ which corresponds to the electrical length of $0.085\lambda_0\times0.085\lambda_0\times0.085\lambda_0$. For improving the radiation pattern characteristics, rectangular slits are inserted in the vertical ground plane. Rectangular slits affect the currents distribution on the ground plane, so that the antenna radiation in the direction of the ground plane is reduced more than 3 dBi. Gain of the antenna is approximately 2.6 dBi within the bandwidth.

Mobile phone antenna needs a small size and light weight for carrying and handling. In case of receiving a wide band TV signal, it would be difficult to obtain a good impedance matching between the antenna and the circuit due to a large capacitive reactance of antenna. Buffer amplifier was established on the teflon( ${\varepsilon}_r=3.38$, h=20mils) substrate by using GaAs FET( CPY30 ) and Silicon RF Transistor( BFP540 ) produced by Infineon and experimented.

In this paper, we proposed an inductance loaded small type open-loop travelling wave antenna model for the suitable VHF/UHF frequency bands moisture measurement systems and analyzed its operating characteristics by galerkin's solution method. This antenna model enables to change the oeprating rsonance frequency from the frequency range 150 Mhz to 1.0 Ghz without changing the antenna design dimensions by only varing the load inductance values and it showed the similar operating charcteristics and narrowband resonance characteristics at each resonance frequencies. Also this model showed the uniformly distriubte dpower radiation characteristics above the loop axis and it can effectively suppress the spurious radiations from its narrowband resonance characteristics.

This paper presents a CPW-fed antenna with three slots. The proposed antenna can operate at 1.9~2.1 GHz and 2.9~3.3 GHz which are generated by the two rectangular slots, and 4.5~11.6 GHz which is generated by the main patch. The semicircle-slot is used as a band-notched filter to stop at a desired band (5.150~5.825 GHz) limited by IEEE 802.11a or HIPERLAN/2 applications. The currents concentrate around corresponding slots at the desired band. The proposed antenna is very small in size, with overall dimensions of $27{\times}32{\times}1\;mm^3$ etched onto an FR4-printed circuit board (PCB).

New ways of achieving small, multiband, multifunctional, and standard solutions for mobile handset antennas are demanded in the current wireless market. A non-resonant element of $5mm{\times}5mm{\times}5mm$, a matching network, and a $100mm{\times}40mm$ slotted ground plane are proposed to satisfy mobile market demands that require multiband operation and small antenna solutions. The main advantage of the proposed design is that with only one non-resonant element of considerably small size ($0.015{\lambda}$, 900 MHz), the handset is capable of providing operation at mobile bands.

In this paper, we propose a dual-band GPS antenna using a single-layer coupled-feed structure for improvement of isolation and design complexity. The proposed antenna consists of a central feed patch and outer dual loops, and the loops are electromagnetically fed by the feed patch to induce currents. This feeding network can improve the isolation between antenna elements arranged in small arrays because the magnetic field strength near the antenna is minimized by confining the fields around the dual loops. The isolation characteristics of the proposed antenna are compared with those of the conventional multi-layer patch antenna, and the average field strength and the isolation are improved by 3 dB and 2 dB, respectively, which verifies that the antenna is suitable for small CRPA arrays.

In this paper, the design method of a waveguide broad-wall longitudinal slot array monopulse antenna of X-type monopulse axes is presented, and the method is verified through manufacture and measurement. In the antenna design of this paper, the antenna size is small and the monopulse axes are X-type. Thus, the common continuous aperture distribution fuction is not suitable and the power balance among antenna quadrants should be considered. Also, since the waveguide height is reduced into 0.1 wavelength, the modelling of the slot characteristics is not simple. Thus, in this paper, the aperture distribution is optimized by using random number, and the balance among the quadrants is achieved by applying the quadrant weighting factor during the aperture optimization process. Also, the moment method procedure is accelerated by applying the interpolation technique to some part of the moment matrix, and the moment method procedure is added to the array synthesis program as a subroutine so that the slot characteristics can be calculated directly when it is required. Based on this method, a antenna of 28dBi is designed and manufactured. It is found that the antenna characteristics is similar to design data.

In this paper, a planar printed hybrid short/open-ended slot antenna with capacitive coupling feed strips is proposed for hepta-band mobile applications. The proposed antenna is comprised of a slotted ground plane on the top plane and two capacitive coupling feed strips with a chip inductor on the bottom plane. At the low frequency band, the short-ended long slot fed by strip 1 generates its half-wavelength resonance mode, whereas the T-shaped open ended slot fed by strip 2 generates its quarter-wavelength resonance mode for the high frequency band. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth covering GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 operation bands. Moreover, the antenna occupies a small volume of $15mm{\times}50mm{\times}1mm$. The operating principle of the proposed antenna and the simulation/measurement results are presented and discussed.

A small monopole antenna with a novel impedance matching structure is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is designed for W-LAN(IEEE 802.11b). The antenna design concept is based on a ${\lambda}/8$ folded monopole antenna with a self-impedance matching structure. The size of the proposed antenna is smaller than the resonant length, thus the impedance at the terminal of the antenna becomes very capacitive. To compensate fur this impedance mismatching, the proposed antenna employs a novel self-impedance matching structure. The self-impedance matching structure is located on the top of the antenna; it improves the impedance matching and ultimately the efficiency of the antenna. The measured results of the proposed antenna show reasonable agreement with prediction.

In this paper, a shaped small-size ADE(Axially Displaced Ellipse) reflector antenna of 30 cm in diameter operating from 37 to 40 GHz was designed. The experimental antenna was manufactured, and the radiation characteristics evaluated. In the procedure of antenna design, aperture field distribution was assumed to uniform + parabolic distribution. And the variations of beam width, aperture efficiency, and sidelobe level as functions of aperture field distributions were investigated, and these results presented to be used in antenna design. The measured gain and sidelobe level of experimental antenna were found 39.9 dBi(efficiency : 61.9%) and -18.8 dB for 40 GHz. These values show good agreement in design goal of efficiency more than 60% and sidelobe level less than -20 dB.
