A wideband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with a single feed is proposed for use in global navigation satellite systems. Its primary radiation elements are composed of two orthogonal bowtie dipoles, which are equipped with double-printed vacant-quarter rings to allow direct matching of the antenna to a single $50-{\Omega}$ coaxial line and to produce CP radiation. The crossed bowtie dipole is appropriately incorporated with a planar metallic reflector to produce the desired unidirectional radiation pattern as well as to achieve a wideband characteristic in terms of impedance matching and axial ratio (AR) bandwidths. The designed antenna was fabricated and measured. The prototype antenna with an overall 1.2-GHz frequency size of $0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.25{\lambda}_o$ produced a measured ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$<-10 dB bandwidth of 1.05-1.79 GHz and a measured 3-dB AR bandwidth of 1.12-1.64 GHz. It also showed right-hand CP radiation with a small gain variation (${\pm}0.3dB$) and high radiation efficiency (>93%) over the operational bandwidth.

It was shown that the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna is wider than many of the conventional feeding structures. In this paper, we proposed a new method of enhancing the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna with a shunt open stub, and analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method. We have computed waves and electric field distribution in the time domain, and VSWR, input impedance and radiation pattern in the frequency domaim by Fourier transforming the time domain results. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna depend on the position(L$_1$) and length(L$_2$) of a shunt open stub. When these parameters are L$_1$=30 mm and L$_2$=33mm, we obtained the maximum bandwidth at the center frequency of 2.3 GHz. From the computed results, the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. The fractional bandwidth of this antenna was 53.9 %. The measured results were in relatively good accordance with computed values.

In this paper, the reduced size of broad bandpass filter with parallel coupled line structure is presented. This proposed filter can control bandwidth of narrow to broadband by adjusting the coupling coefficient. The conventional filter is operated with a narrow band. If a higher bandwidth is desired than the conventional narrow bandwidth, it is hard to realize due to the coupling coefficient between feeding line and resonator. In this paper, to overcome this limitation, a proposed bandpass filter is designed with reduced size due to SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator) and multi-grade type structures than conventional one, and it has characteristics of adjusting bandwidth freely as per quantity of coupling coefficient. The proposed bandpass filter that, experimental results of insertion and return losses are 0.42 dB and 20.9 dB with bandwidth of 60 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz, respectively.

If a higher bandwidth is desired than the conventional narrow bandwidth, it is hard to realize due to the coupling coefficient between feeding line and resonator. In this paper, to overcome this limitation, a proposed bandpass filter is designed with reduced size due to SIR (Stepped Impedance Resonator), U-shaped open stub with hair-pin and vertical-type structure than conventional one, and it has characteristics of adjusting bandwidth freely as per quantity of coupling coefficient. The proposed bandpass filter that, experimental results of insertion and return losses are 0.42 dB and 24.5 dB with bandwidth of 60 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz, respectively.

The proposed cavity-backed slot antenna is comprised of baffles, reflectors and thick ground plane. The baffles and reflectors are used to increase an antenna gain, thus reducing the coupling among slots on a thick ground plane. The height of the baffle and reflector were altered and the characteristics of corresponding $2{\times}2$ cavity-backed slot array antennas were measured separately. Themeasured antenna gains were above 15dBi, at f=42GHz and a wide impedance bandwidth over 27% at a center frequency of 42GHz.

This letter proposes a tapered stacked microstrip antenna for application in small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which has advantages in mountainous terrains. With its tapered structure and increased bandwidth designed to operate at the resonance frequency of 2.4 GHz, the proposed antenna improves directivity, accuracy, and precision of small UAVs. The test flight results show the proposed tapered antenna has a three times higher impedance capability of 350 MHz based on VSWR<2. The transmission pattern is also more reliable than that of previous antenna designs.

In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of a new circularly polarized circular patch antenna. The antenna is realized using a plastic foam sheet, a Teflon substrate and a metal-coated film. The radiating element is a circular patch proximity-fed by a wide microstrip line. Two thins slots are introduced on the circular patch to obtain a circular polarized radiation. The antenna is optimized using a commercial software. The antenna has 18% impedance bandwidth, 4% axial-ratio band width and 9.12dBi gain.

In this paper, we propese a novel wide band printed monopole antenna called the staircase bow-tie monopole antenna (SBMA). We apply an extraordinarr method for an impedance matching to conventional bow-tie monopoles. So we get the SBMA with a very wide band. Our antenna is smaller than a quarter wavelength in size but provides a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of about 77.8%. An antenna gain and a radiation pattern are about 1.7dBi and omni-directional at 1.7 GHz, respeotively.

As the demand for high frequency(bandwidth) optical module is increased, there is a need for fabricating silicon optical bench(SiOB) with low parasitic impedance. In this paper, we discuss multi-layer structure method for manufacturing SiOB with low capacitance. This structure method decreases the capacitance between the conductive patterns for about 94∼97％ compared to the conventional structure without raising the resistivity of silicon, or increasing the thickness of the dielectric film.
