Abstract

A windmill-shaped loop antenna is designed for polarization diversity. Its circumference is almost 10 times that of a conventional small loop antenna whose circumference is less than ${\lambda}/10$ but its the radiation pattern is omni-directional. An identical parasitic element is placed over the radiator to match the antenna input impedance. An equivalent transmission line and RLC circuit models are shown to fully describe for the windmill-shaped loop antenna. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 6 % with input VSWR less than 2:1 and a polarization purity of 15 dB at 2.6 GHz, and the gain of 1.5 dBi. The simulated and measured results show fairly good agreement.

본 논문에서는 편파 다이버시티를 구현하기 위한 바람개비 형태의 루프 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 루프 안테나의 원주는 일반적인 소형 루프 안테나의 길이(${\lambda}$)보다 10배가 크나, 소형 루프 안테나와 같이 수평면에서 무지향성 패턴을 얻을 수 있다. 기생 루프 안테나의 사용을 통해 안테나의 임피던스 정합 문제를 해결하고, 등가 회로를 제시하여 제안된 안테나의 설계 의도가 수식적으로 설명될 수 있음을 보였다. 제안된 안테나는 2.6 GHz에서 설계, 제작되었으며 정재파비 2:1 이하를 기준으로 6 %의 대역폭, 편파 분리도 15 dB, 이득 1.5 dBi의 시뮬레이션 결과를 나타내었고, 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정 결과가 잘 일치하였다.
