In this paper, a novel design method for an ultra-wide band TEM horn antenna is proposed on the basis of parallel plate waveguide theory. A principle of TEM modes generation is analyzed and the characteristics of this antenna are experimentally investigated. The proposed TEM horn antenna has an exponentially tapered structure to increase matching bandwidth. Also, the designed TEM horn has shortened length but increased aperture so that the bandwidth for cutoff frequency is increased. The measured result show that the proposed TEM hem antenna has the frequency band of 75 MHz to 1200 MHz for VSWR less than 2.0 and the bandwidth of the TEM horn becomes more than twice comparing to that of a linearly tapered TEM hem. It is anticipated that the manufactured antenna is applicable to UWB systems for impulse response measurement.

In this paper, the transformed QMSA to load a capacitor without limitation of the electric force on QMSA(Quarter-wavelength Microstrip Antenna) is designed. Bandwidth of the designed and manufactured antenna is 5.7% at the resonant frequency of 2.0 GHz and the resonant frequency and bandwidth versus change of any arbitrary feed point is observed. Since the size of wide slot width between the left and right parallel plate to load a capacitor is very wide bandwidth, will be suitable for very wide bandwidth communication. The radiation pattern characteristics of the designed antenna based on the dipole structure and the aperture structure analysis method. As calculation results, relative backward radation is - 5 dB.

A suspended microstrip line structure over mushroom-like SMPs is designed and is applied to a dual-frequency and dual-polarization microstrip patch antenna. This structure has a distinctive and sharp rejection band and provides near 0 dB insertion loss outside the rejection band. Applying the structure to the conventional DFDP antenna enhanced the isolation between the two ports more than 20 dB. The structure is expected to have a wide range of applications in antennas and filters due to its compactness and integrability in circuits.

A wideband dual-polarized antenna coupling cross resonator is proposed for LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 base stations. An additional resonance is introduced to obtain strong coupling between the dipole and resonator. Moreover, the input impedance of the proposed antenna is steadily close to $50{\Omega}$, which results in better impedance matching. Therefore, a wide bandwidth can be achieved with multiresonance. A prototype is fabricated to verify the proposed design. The measured results show that the antenna has a fractional bandwidth of 35.7% from 690 MHz to 990 MHz for ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$ < -15 dB. Stable radiation patterns as well as gain are also obtained over the entire operating band. Moreover, a five-element antenna array with an electrical downtilt of $0^{\circ}$to $14^{\circ}$ is developed for modern base station applications. Measurement shows that a wide impedance bandwidth of 34.7% (690 MHz to 980 MHz), stable HPBW (3-dB beamwidth) of $65{\pm}5^{\circ}$, and high gain of $13.8{\pm}0.6dBi$ are achieved with electrical downtilts of $0^{\circ}$, $7^{\circ}$, and $14^{\circ}$.

In this paper, to improve bandwidth of microstrip antenna, we discussed the patch structure using dual patch and probe feed. To provide PCS service and IMT-2000 service simultaneous, a microstrip patch antenna needs impedance bandwidth of 22%. We propose wide-band microstrip path antenna without complexity. To analyze characteristics of microstrip patch antenna, we used Ensemble of commercial software. The microstrip patch antenna was designed, fabricated, and tuned. The result was that 500 ㎒(25.5%) of impedance bandwidth for VSWR 2,430 ㎒(21.9%) of impedance bandwidth for VSWR 1.5. The microstrip patch antenna has side lobe of -14 dB. The front to back ratio is 20 dB overall. The measured gain of the microstrip patch antenna is 5.2 dBi.

In this paper, a folded helical monopole antenna for TDMB receiving and a trapezoidal fractal microstrip patch antenna for GPS were designed and fabricated for the vehicle shark antenna. To minimize null which is generating toward antenna axis direction and to receive both vertical polarization and horizontal polarization for TDMB antenna, we fold 90 degree helical monopole element. GPS antenna to get wide bandwidth and gain improvement was designed an air substrate trapezoidal microstrip patch antenna. Fabricated TDMB and GPS antenna were measured for S11 and radiation pattern, and compared with a commercialized antenna. TDMB antenna shows 3 dB higher antenna gain and receiving signal strength than the commercial one. GPS antenna shows the gain of 4.31 dBi at the resonant frequency, which is $3{\sim}5\;dB$ higher gain over whole operating band and 135MHz wide bandwidth at 2:1 VSWR than the conventional ceramic antenna.

In this paper, a millimeter-wave multi-beam antenna is studied by rotating the antipodal linear tapered slot antenna(ALTSA) with respect to a center is successfully designed. In order to lowering the SLL and enhancing the isolation between the ALTSA elements, a row of metallic via is inserted between the ALTSAs. A 9 beams antenna is designed and experimented at Ka band. The measured and simulated results agree well with each other. The antenna can provide horizontal wide angle coverage up to ${\pm}62^{\circ}$. The gain of each beam can achieve about 12.5 dB. The mutual coupling between ports is all below 20 dB.

In this article, a novel design of patch antenna with wide band characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna is having electrical dimensions of $0.14{\lambda}{\times}0.11{\lambda}$ (at lower initial frequency) and footprints of $150mm^2$. Structural parameters optimization shows 3.1-23.5 GHz frequency range for a (reflection coefficient) $S_{11}{\leq}-10dB$ and simulated gain 6.8 dB is obtained. An equivalent circuit model is proposed to get an insight view of antenna. Advanced Systems Design (ADS) simulation results are obtain which confirm the validity of proposed model. Degenerated foster canonical form has been used to explain the reactance and capacitive behavior idea of simulated proposed antenna's input impedance later on an equivalent circuit model and smith chart is also suggested. HFSS and CST have been used to analyze antenna behavior. The proposed antenna can be further used for microwave image detection applications.
