In this paper, radially corrugated circular-type microstrip patch antenna was devised and manufactured for GPS (center frequency: 1.575 GHz). Radially corrugated circular-type microstrip patch antenna having radiational corrugation-patch contributed to add size reduction ratio by lowering the resonant frequency because the edge current also has the extended and perpendicular path. As a result, radially corrugated circular-type microstrip patch antenna has 28 % area reduction than planer circular-type patch antenna for linear polarization and 27.7 % area reduction than planer circular-type patch antenna for circular polarization. Radially corrugated circular-type microstrip patch antenna is suitable for miniaturized receive antenna for GPS which has the characteristic of gain 2.1 dBd, axiai ratio 1.3 dB, 2 dB axial bandwidth 15 MHz(0.9 %).

In this paper, the miniaturized linear and circular polarization microstrip antennas are designed and fabricated at the resonant frequency of 1.575 GHz. To miniaturize the microstrip patch antenna(MPA), the 'L' type plates are attached under the rectangular microstrip patch. In case of the linear polarization, the size of the microstrip antenna attached the 14 plates is reduced to $67.9\%(47mm{\times}47mm)$ compared with general $MPA(83mm{\times}83mm)$. The return loss and -10 dB bandwidth are -34.4 dB and 49 $MHz(3.1\%)$. And the radiation pattern is broad through the size reduction of the patch. Also in case of the circular polarization, the size of the microstrip antenna with 13 plates is reduced to $54.6\%(53mm{\times}54mm)$ compared with the general $MPA(76mm{\times}83mm)$. The axial ratio is 1.37dB at 1.575 GHz, the 2 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 14 $MHz(0.8\%)$. As that result, we could confirm that 3-dimensional structure with attached 'L' shaped plate is proper form for the miniaturization of linear and circular polarization microstrip antenna.

In this paper, a switchable circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna using PIN diodes and corner slots on ground plane is proposed at 2.4 GHz. The proposed antenna has a square microstrip patch and ground plane that consists of two pair of slots and PIN diodes. The electrical lengths of the slots are adjusted by using the switching characteristic of the PIN diode, so the polarization of the proposed antenna can be switchable between linear, left-handed(LH) and right-handed(RH). By separating the ground plane for the DC bias, the size reduction effect is also obtained. When the proposed antenna is operated as linear polarization, the return loss and impedance bandwidth are 15 dB, 59 MHz, and when operated as LH and RH polarization, the minimum axial ratio and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth are 1.17 dB, 1.67 dB, 28 MHz, and 32 MHz, respectively.

In this study, a design method for a circular polarization patch antenna operating at a frequency 1.5 GHz~1.7 GHz was studied. To obtain the wide bandwidth and high gain, air substrate between patch and ground plane was applied. The impedance bandwidth is improved by adjusting the sizes of patch, the distance between main patch and ground plate, the length of internal slots, the position of feeding point, the length of external stub, etc. The antenna is designed and simulated for an operation in the frequency range of 1.5GHz~1.7GHz band. The results show that antenna characteristics such as return loss, gain, axial ratio, radiation patterns are appropriate for the satellite navigation system.

This paper presents a design of spiral antenna with broad bandwidth for non-linear junction detector(NLJD). An elliptical patch as radiating element located on center position of radiating surface, as well as the spiral elements on radiating surface was designed for broad bandwidth of spiral antenna. An antenna ground structure generating the multi resonance by spiral slit inserted on ground surface was also proposed. In order to realize high directivity and high gain of the proposed antenna, the cavity wall made of Fr4-epoxy and the metal cap were considered in design. As a result, the calculated gain of antenna with metal cap was improved about 3 dB with comparison of antenna without metal cap and the measured main beam directivity toward -z axis direction agreed well with calculation result. The measured axial ratio satisfied the circular polarization within -z axis ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ at design frequency bands and showed reasonable agreement with prediction.

In this paper, SIW-based $2{\times}4$ uniform array antenna with a sequentially fed 8-way power divider with an equal division characteristic is proposed for an application of X-band satellite communication. In particular, sequential feeding structures with a progressive phase difference of 90 degrees between the nearest elements have been suggested to protect the cancellation of electric fields due to the array alignments and to enhance the purity of RHCP(Right-Handed Circular Polarization). The obtained results according to the return loss bandwidth, RHCP antenna gain, axial ratio bandwidth are 760 MHz ranging from 7.90 to 8.66 GHz under the criterion of less than -10 dB, 14.3 dBic at 8.3 GHz, and 600 MHz from 8.15 to 8.75 GHz, respectively. In addition, it is observed that the equal-division characteristic of SIW-based 8-way power divider is approximately -9.2 dB in all ports.

In this paper, a new microstrip antenna using asymmetric U-shaped slotted ground is proposed for a switchable circular polarization sense. The proposed antenna is achieved a circularly polarization from orthogonal E-field distributions with 90 degree phase difference due to the asymmetrical U-shaped slot. Moreover, the circular polarization sense of the proposed antenna can be easily switchable with changing the symmetric plane of the U-shaped slots. As a result, the proposed antenna is implemented by two PIN diodes with two different bias condition for ON/OFF states. The measured axial ratios are about 1.5 dB without the dependence of the polarization sense and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth are achieved 29 MHz with respect to about 1.2 % at 2.46 GHz operating frequency.

This paper introduces a novel horn antenna for circular polarization using a planar-type radiator. This antenna can be divided to two parts, microstrip antenna and square horn. The microstrip antenna has the role of feeder and polarizer of the horn antenna, and it is designed to stacked type having metal spacer for high gain, high isolation and wideband characteristic. Using the proposed antenna structure, the horn antenna needs not additional structure such as feeder and polarizer, and the size of it can be considerably reduced. The horn antenna has typical gain of 8dBi and 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth around 4.9%.This antenna can widely used for various antenna system for mobile and satellite communication using circular polarization expecially in high frequency band.

The LHCP circularly polarized antenna operating at the satellite broadcast receiving band is developed by employing the sequential-rotation technique in which each truncated-corner patch square element is arranged in the triangular lattice type. Antenna designed with sequentially rotated technique of triangular lattice type has the effect of improved axial-ratio bandwidth, cross-polarization etc., and the degradation of radiation pattern can be reduced significantly by minimizing the radiation loss of feeding line structure. Characteristics of antenna designed is satisfied with specifications of array antenna for DBS that is -27 dB of side lobe level and -20 dB of cross-polarized level at $\Phi$=45$^{\circ}$ plane.
