We investigate the characteristics of a wideband and high-gain cavity-backed slot antenna in terms of the reflection coefficients, radiation patterns, and gain. A cavity-backed slot antenna structure includes baffles, reflectors, and thick ground planes. The measured gain and bandwidth of a 10-dB return loss in a cavity-backed $2{\times}2$ array slot antenna with $h_1=2 $mm, d=2 mm are 15.5 dBi and nearly 27%, respectively, at 42 GHz. Baffles and reflectors are used to increase antenna gain, thus reducing the coupling among the slots on the thick ground plane.

This paper presents a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that rejects narrow and broad bands and is suitable for wireless communications. The base of the proposed antenna has a circular patch that can cover the UWB frequency range (3.1~10.6 GHz). The interference issues caused by co-existence within the UWB operation frequency are overcome by a design that uses a parallel-coupled asymmetric dual-line with a circular monopole antenna. The proposed antenna showed a stable radiation pattern, realized gain and reflection coefficient lower than -10 dB across the UWB operation bandwidth except for 5.15~5.85 GHz and 7.25~8.4 GHz. The fabrication, simulation, and measurement results obtained for the proposed antenna were in good agreement with the expected values.

In this paper, we have proposed the new configuration of wideband antenna using CPW fred lines. The proposed antenna has CPW feed lines and U-slot to achieve wade bandwidth with good impedance matching. The use of CPW feed line can decrease the number of substrates. It is compared with the conventional antenna find by a microstrip fled line. The parameters of CPW fred lines were studied by using the quasi-static approximation which is based on the conformal mapping method. The analysis of CPW discontinuities such as the tapered-step structure and the open ended gap were studied by using the quasi-static approximation which is based on the boundary element method. Also, the equivalent circuit model of multi-layer antenna were proposed using the cavity model. Experiment results of the proposed antenna 7how wide-bandwidth characteristics and good radiation patterns in passband.

In this letter, novel antennas with two spiral elements are presented for ultra-wideband application. The original antenna consists of a T-shaped microstrip feed line, two spiral radiating elements, and a ground plane with two circular slots. It measures 30 mm ${\times}$ 40 mm ${\times}$ 1.6 mm. Spiral elements are used to increase the lower bandwidth limit. To further reduce the size of the antenna, the original antenna is cut in half by using the symmetry of the surface current distributions. The proposed antennas feature omnidirectional radiation patterns and good gain flatness.

In this paper, the wideband microstrip patch antennas for the Personal communications Service $(PCS\;:\;1750\~1870\;MHz)$ and International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 $(IMT-2000\;:\;1920\~2170\;MHz)$ dual band are studied. Experimental and simulation results on the dual band antenna are presented. Simulation results are in good agreement with measurements. The experimental and simulation results confirm the wideband characteristics of the antenna. The studied antenna satisfied the wideband characteristics that are required characteristics for above 420 MHz impedance bandwidth for the PCS and IMT-2000 dual band antenna. In this paper, through the designing of a dual band antenna, we have presented the availability for PCS & IMT-2000 base station antenna. An impedance bandwidth of $31\%(VSWR<1.5,\;615\;MHz)$ and a maximum gain of 7dBi can be achieved. The radiation pattern is stable across the passband.

본 논문에서는 DTV용 광대역 사각형 루프 안테나에 대한 설계 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 제안된 루프 안테나는 사각형 루프 안테나와 중앙 급전점과 연결하는 원형 섹터가 결합된 형태이다. DTV응용을 위해 75옴 입력 임피던스와 정합하도록 입력 반사계수와 이득 특성을 분석하였다. 최적화된 안테나를 FR4 기판에 설계하였고, 전압 정재파비(VSWR; voltage standing wave) < 2인 대역이 464-1,310 MHz으로 DTV 대역(470-806 MHz)에서 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper we developed Composite-Smart-Structures(CSS) using sandwich structure composed of Glass/Epoxy laminates and Nomex honeycomb and microstrip antenna. Transmission/reflection theory shows that antenna performances can be improved due to multiple reflection by Glass/Epoxy facesheet, and honeycomb is used for air gap between antenna and facesheet. Stacked radiating patches are used for the wideband. Facesheet and honeycomb thicknesses are selected considering both wideband and high gain. Measured electrical performances show that CSS has wide bandwidth over $10\%$ and higher gain by 3.5dBi than initially designed antenna, and no doubt it has excellent mechanical performances by sandwich effect given by composite laminates and honeycomb core. The CSS concept can be extended to give a useful guide for manufacturers of structural body panels as well as antenna designers, promising innovative future communication technology.

In this study, a novel wideband conformal thin antenna is presented for endoscopic capsule application at the 915 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. The thickness of the antenna is only 0.2 mm which can be wrapped inside a capsule's inner wall. By cutting meandered slots on patch, open end slots on ground and utilizing long arm, the proposed antenna can obtain significant size reduction. The net volume of the proposed antenna including substrate and superstrate is only $37.4mm^3$ ($187mm^2$ surface area). This conformal antenna has shown good performance through simulation and measurement with maximum gain of -23 dBi and wide bandwidth from 137 MHz - 205 MHz depending on different environment. In addition, the effect of internal materials specially metallic battery is discussed briefly.

본 논문에서는 S밴드(24 GHz)와 C밴드(4-8 GHz)에서 사용가능한 비동심원 복사구조와 저 임피던스 급전구조를 갖는 소형 광대역 원형 링슬롯 안테나를 제안하였다. 본 안테나는 유전율 4.3, 두께 1mm의 기판을 대상으로 해석되었다. 제안된 안테나의 측정된 임피던스 대역폭은 $118%(S_{11}{\leq}-10dB)$이므로 기존의 원형 링슬롯 안테나보다 훨씬 광대역이다. 또한 주요 설계변수들을 변화시켰을 때 변경되는 안테나의 특성을 연구함으로써 최적화설계에 도움이 되도록 하였다.
