A wideband patch antenna fed by an L-strip feeder is studied. The objective of this paper is to design small wideband antenna for 3G and 4G wireless mobile communication service. The enhanced features were confirmed and proved by comparing the proposed antenna with the antennae that have been reported in the relevant literatures. Measurement results confirm that an impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) of 636MHz(32.5%, fo=1,960MHz) is achieved at 3G and 4G frequency band for L-strip-fed triangular patch antenna. In general, probe feed has only the parasitic reactance caused by the probe, which reduces the bandwidth performance of the antenna. The experimental results proved that the effects of improvement could be achieved because the proposed antenna is capable of compensating the parasitic reactance from the feeding mechanism. The studied antenna can be designed easily for extension of array because it has simple structure.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the trapezoidal antenna using the CPWG structure for Wibro and WLAN communications. This antenna has broadband characteristics using the basic trapezoidal antenna, and an H-shaped parasitic patch is making an expansion of resonance bandwidth and bringing stability of impedance matching. Especially, CPWG structure is combined two kinds of the structure which of a monopole antenna and a coplanar waveguide antenna. They make up for the weak point of the CPW which is variation of impedance matching according to varying the gap or size of the feed line and the ground. The designed antenna has occurred resonances of which the band of 2.2 GHz to 4.6 GHz(70.5 %) below the return loss of -10 dB($VSWR{\leq}2$) obtained in measurement, and it has an omnidirectional radiation pattern of H-plane. In addition, the changes of impedance matching appear slightly caused by the effects of the ground plane and the feed line.

This paper describes the design and analysis of five-element planar array antenna of an anti-jamming satellite navigation system. We propose a design of multi-layer patch antenna for Global Positioning System(GPS) $L_1/L_2$ dual bands. The proposed antenna has two ports feeding network with a hybrid chip coupler for a broad bandwidth with Right-Handed Circular Polarization(RHCP). The measurement results show the bore-sight gains of 1.10 dBic($L_1$) and 0.37 dBic($L_2$) for the center element. The bore-sight gains of an edge element are 0.99 dBic($L_1$) and -0.57 dBic($L_2$). At a fixed elevation angle of $30^{\circ}$, antennas show average gains of -2.08 dBic ($L_1$) and -5.33 dBic($L_2$) for the center element, and average gains of -0.40 dBic($L_1$) and -2.09 dBic($L_2$) for the edge elements. The results demonstrate that the proposed array antenna is suitable for anti-jamming applications.

During KSTAR plasma experiments, torsional $Alfv\acute{e}n$ waves in the frequency of few GHz or below were detected. To understand this plasma waves during the crash of MHD instabilities, an RF spectrometer has been developed for detection of the radiated RF signals in the KSTAR Tokamak. It has the capability of broadband RF spectral measurement (50 ~ 400 MHz). To detect the broadband RF signals which are radiated from the KSTAR systems, a broadband antenna is the key feature of the RF spectrometer. In this paper, a broadband bowtie antenna for detection of $Alfv\acute{e}n$-waves in the KSTAR Tokamak is presented. Planar-type bowtie antenna is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with thickness of 1.6 mm. The antenna consists of bowtie shaped balanced radiators and broadband planar balun. The antenna is designed to have an input impedance of 50 Ohm, and a taper-shaped balun is adopted for field and impedance matching between 50 Ohm transmission line to 110 Ohm feeding network of balanced radiators. The implemented antenna provides around -3 to 3 dBi of gain for the whole frequency band. The VSWR of the bowtie antenna is less than 12:1 over the frequency bandwidth of 50 to 2000 MHz.

In this paper, test-bed for the evaluation of wireless communication system on a small launch vehicle is proposed. The proposed test-bed consists of antenna test-coupler, RF attenuators, and RF switch modules. The antenna test-coupler isolates antennas for each band and transmits / receives wireless signals. The RF attenuator and switch are used for path selection of testing signal path. In design and measurement result of the antenna test-coupler, the antenna test-coupler has shielding effect higher than 39.3, 47.1, 56.1 dB at UHF-, S-, X-band. Through testing on small launch vehicle wireless communication system, we were able to successfully transmit and receive data between each test system and launch vehicle with antenna path switching.

In this study, we introduce a dual-band ground radiation antenna using an endless metal-rim mode control method that operates in the WLAN band. In the proposed antenna, the metal-rim modes are excited as one- and two-wavelength-mode radiators by a dual-band ground radiation antenna, which occupies a small space on the ground plane. The metal rim surrounds the ground plane with a gap of only 2 mm. In addition, two capacitors are inserted between the ground plane and the endless metal rim to control the one- and two-wavelength modes of the endless metal rim. Based on simulation and measurement results, we noted that the proposed antenna has an impressively high radiation performance.

This paper proposes an antenna that is located outside the PCB substrate of an electronic product to enable wireless communication in the ISM band. The PCB designed the T-shaped OPEN-STUB power supply line to be miniaturized so that it does not interfere with parts or interfere with design. The characteristics of the antenna were confirmed in the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands using a T-shaped stub feeder and a spiral structure. The size of the antenna is 5mm in width × 6.5mm in length, and the thickness of the PCB is 1.2T. As a result of measurement of the manufactured antenna, it was possible to obtain a return loss of -10dB or more at 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. In the E-plane, the gain was -4.45 dBi, and in the H-plane, the gain was -1.05 dBi. Therefore, the proposed small antenna for wireless communication showed excellent performance.

This paper presents a novel method of implementing a dual-band antenna using a square patch with an inset feed structure. The proposed method is to simply design a dual-band antenna using an asymmetric inset structure with different lengths of slots dug into the patch for inset feeding. To verify the proposed method, a dual-band inset patch antenna supporting 1.57 GHz GPS and 2.4 GHz WiFi bands was designed and manufactured on a 1 mm thick FR4 substrate. From measurement, it was confirmed that the frequency bands of the antenna that satisfy a return loss of -10dB or less are 1.55~1.57GHz and 2.41~2.45GHz, which has dual-band characteristics. Using the proposed method, it is possible to simply implement a dual-band antenna using inset feeding, and it is expected to be utilized in a variety of application fields.
