Abstract

This paper presents the characteristics of a half-bowtie-shaped meander-type antenna for the 5-GHz band. Its design is based on a modified meander line width and bowtie shape with coaxial feeding. Its maximum measured impedance bandwidth (-10 dB below) is approximately 1.055 GHz (5.01-6.065 GHz) or 19.05%. Radiation patterns at different frequencies are presented. The measured gain was 2.26-8.86 dBi.

본 논문에서는 5-GHz 대역용 1/2 보우타이형 미앤더 안테나를 구현하였다. 본 안테나 설계의 근거는 동축급전을 가지는 수정된 미앤더 선로 폭과 보우타이 형태이다. 10 dB 이하 최대 임피던스 대역폭은 1.055 GHz(5.01-6.065 GHz), 19.05%로 측정되었다. 몇 가지 주파수에서 방사패턴을 측정하였으며, 이득은 2.26-8.86 dBi로 측정되었다.
