Abstract

The design, fabrication, and an experimental implementation of the strip patch antenna coupled with a H-shaped aperture arc presented in this paper. The proposed antenna has the wide bandwidth, high gain, and low cross-polarization levels. We measured the VSWR, smith chart impedance characteristic, co/cross polarization pattern, gain, and so on. The measured bandwidth of this antenna is 47.1 %. To reduce the back lobe and increase the gain, when the reflector is used, cross polarization level is below -18.2dB at E-plane and below 25.7 dB at H -plane. The maximum gain at 2.05 GHz is also 10.4 dBi and the 3 dB gain bandwidth with center frequency at 2.17 GHz is 24 %, which is the wide bandwidth. This antenna can find applications in mobile communication, wireless LAN, RF communication system, and so on.

광대역과 고이득과 낮은 교차 편파 레벨을 가지는 H자 모양의 개구면을 가진 스트립 급전된 패치 안테나를 설계 및 제작하고 정재파비, 스미스챠트 임피던스 특성, 동일/교차 편파 방사패턴, 이득 등을 측정하였다. 본 안테나의 측정된 대역폭(VSWR<2.0)은 47.1%이다. 또한 후방방사를 줄이고 이득을 높이기 위해 반사판을 사용하였을 때 교차 편파 레벨은 E-plane에서 -18.2 dB이하이고 H plane에서 -25.7 dB이하이다. 그리고 최대 이득은 2.05 GHz의 주파수에서 10.4 dB이며, 3 dB gain 대역폭은 중심주파수 2.17 GHz에서 24%의 광대역폭을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 안테나는 광대역을 필요로 하는 이동통신, 무선 LAN, RF 통신시스템 등에 사용될 수 있다.
