The present study aims to design a multiplayer microstrip antenna with composite sandwich construction and to estimate structural behavior of this multiplayer structure for the next generation of structural surface technology. This is termed Surface-Antenna-Structure indicating that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, antenna elements inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was $16\times16$ array antenna. From electrical measurements it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. Structural analysis showed this antenna structure was well designed for the mechanical rigidity. All constituent materials were characterized independently. The SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration for both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

The present study aims to design a multilayer microstrip antenna with composite sandwich construction and investigate fatigue behavior of this multilayer SAS (surface antenna structure) that was asymmetric sandwich structure for the next generation of structural surface technology. This term, SAS, indicates that the structural surface becomes an antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constant and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, antenna elements inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.2 GHz. From electrical measurements, it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. In cyclic 4-point bending, flexure behavior was investigated by static and fatigue test. Fatigue life curve of the SAS was obtained. The experimental results of bending fatigue were compared with single load level fatigue life prediction equations and in good agreement. The SAS concept is can be extended to give a useful guide for manufacturers of structural body panels as well as antenna designers.

Structural surface becomes an antenna. The integration of antennas into structural body panels is a new high payoff technology. It emerged from the need to improve structural efficiency and antenna performance. In this paper, we developed new design concept for the structural surface which transmits and receives the electromagnetic signals, and it is termed Surface-Antenna-Structure (SAS). Design procedure was presented including structure design. material selection and design of antenna elements, which was processed according to the communication with KORSAT satellite at Ku-Band (12.25-12.75 GHz). The final demonstration article was 350$\times$200$\times$7.5mm flat antenna panel. Experimental results for antenna performances were in good agreements with design requirements. Also structural analysis was performed with SAS. estimating stress distributions under simply supported condition with Laminated Plate Theories and Wavier Solutions. The SAS concept can be extended to give a useful guide to manufacturers of structural body panels as well as antenna designers. promising innovative future communication technology.

In this paper, an optimum design center frequency proposes portable RFID reader antenna that is 920MHz frequency using the Taguchi's Method. Proposed antenna is cut corner of opposite angle and it's structure that have slots in four sides microstrip patch of a perfect square shape. This slot structure can miniaturize microstrip patch antenna and confirmed through an experiment that size of antenna about 18% decreases than structure that slot does not exist. Because compact antenna that have structure of slot changes according to complex design variables, analysis and experimental design for minimization of experiment number of times are required for optimum antenna design. In this research, designed antenna that have optimum structure when introduce and designs table of orthogonal arrays of the Taguchi's Method been experimental design that can minimize analysis and experiment number of times, achieve responsiveness analysis of main elements and analyzes the effect and minimizes design repeat with analysis result. Presented experiment result about antenna special quality that permittivity is 4.4 and manufactures to board of Epoxy 3.2T.

본 논문은 지능형 또는 스마트 안테나 시스템에 사용 할 수 있는 두 종류의 3-D 빔 조향 재구성 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 두 안테나는 삼각형(구조1.) 및 원형(구조２.)의 루프 구조와 구부러진 다이폴 안테나의 결합형 구조를 갖는다. 제안된 안테나는 하나의 안테나 소자로 4개의 스위치 동작에 따라 xy-평면으로 3개의 빔 State (0, 1, 2) 뿐만 아니라 xz-평면으로 3개의 빔 State (3, 4, 5) 도합 6개의 방향으로 빔 조향이 가능하다. 안테나 구조1.은 급전부를 기준으로 대칭인 평형구조이며, 그라운드가 없기 때문에 다이폴 안테나와 유사한 이득을 가진다. 또한, 구조2.는 반원형태의 CPWG급전 그라운드(반사판)를 이용하여 지향성이 향상된 불 평형 구조를 갖는다. 동작 주파수는 2.5 GHz (구조1.), 2.55 GHz (구조2.)이며, 최대이득은 1.04 ~ 2,06 dBi (구조1.:전방향성 빔), 1.6 ~ 4 dBi (구조2.:지향성빔) 이다. 또한 xy-평면과 xz-평면 각각의 전체 반 전력빔폭(HPBW)은 구조1.에서 $160^{\circ}$ 이상 그리고 구조2.에서 $125^{\circ}$ 이상의 넓은 빔 폭을 갖는다.

In this paper, the method of isolation enhancement for the mobile phone MIMO antenna of LTE class 40(2300~2400MHz) was studied. Design of MIMO antenna was based on the hybrid antenna that operates both a monopole and an IFA(Inverted F Antenna). A structure for the isolation enhancement which controls induced electric field on the ground plane is located between MIMO antenna, and was not connected with the ground but apart 0.3mm. A MIMO antenna that operates on class 3~40(1710~2400MHz) of LTE service bands and a structure for the isolation enhancement at the class 10 band were designed. VSWR measurement of implemented antenna on the FR4 board showed within 3:1 at entire design bands, and isolation between antennas at the class 40 band was less than -30dB. Isolation was enhanced more than 20dB by the studied structure. ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) for MIMO performance was under 0.1, and antenna average gain and efficiency measured in the anechoic chamber were -4.28~-1.40dBi and 37.32~72.36% respectively.

본 논문에서는 5GHz 대역의 이중 T 구조를 갖는 CPW 안테나를 연구하였다. 안테나에 대한 주파수와 반사손실에 관한 파라미터 특성을 HFSS(: High Frequency Structure Simulator)를 통해 분석하고 이것을 이용하여 안테나를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 5GHz 대역에서 사용 가능한 이중 T 구조 CPW 안테나를 설계하고, 설계 된 안테나를 유전율 4.4, 두께 0.8mm인 FR4-epoxy 기판을 사용 하여 포토리소그래피 방법으로 안테나를 제작하였다. 제작된 안테나는 최종적으로 회로망 분석기(Network Analyzer)를 통해 안테나 특성을 분석하였다. 제작된 CPW 이중 T 구조 안테나는 중심주파수 5.29GHz, 입력반사손실 -34dB, 임피던스 $49.6{\Omega}$의 결과 값을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 임피던스 매칭 구조를 가진 소형 모노폴 안테나를 제안하고 그 특성들을 나타내었다. 안테나 매칭을 위해서 안테나 상단에 구성한 inductive 매칭 구조는 효과적으로 안테나의 capacitive 성분들을 보상하여 설계 대역에서 임피던스 매칭이 잘 이루어지는 효과를 보였다. 기존의 많은 소형 안테나들이 임피던스 매칭을 위하여 별도의 매칭 구조를 안테나의 입력부에 적용한 것과는 달리 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 안테나의 상단에 매칭 구조를 위치시킴으로써 비교적 적은 공간을 이용하여 효과적으로 안테나의 임력 임피던스를 매칭할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안한 안테나는 중심 주파수에 대하여 40 % 이상의 대역폭과 95 % 이상의 방사 효율을 보이며, $2.6{\sim}3$ dBi 정도의 높은 이득 특성을 보이므로 향후 단말기 혹은 여러 분야에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
