Abstract

In this paper, a planar microstrip patch antenna is proposed using the slit on the top layer of a multi-layered structure for GPS application. The proposed antenna has a circular polarization at 1,575.42 MHz. This proposed antenna is fabricated on multi-layered FR4 substrate. The slits embedded on the top plane may yield to lower a resonance frequency and sustain a broad bandwidth. The proposed antenna size is $20{\times}20{\times}4.0\;mm^3$. The measured gain of 0.5 dBi, 10 dB bandwidth(VSWR 2:1) of 70 MHz(4.4 %), and 3 dB axial-ratio bandwidth of 15 MHz(1 %) have been obtained, respectively.

본 논문에서는 슬릿 구조와 다층 구조를 이용하여 소형 평판 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안한 안테나는 다층 FR4 기판을 이용하여 설계 및 제작하였으며 넓은 임피던스 대역폭을 갖는 소형 안테나로써, 가볍고, 저렴한 장점을 가지고 있으며 GPS 대역 중심 주파수 1,575.42 MHz에서 원형 편파 특성을 갖는다. 또한, 기판의 최상층의 슬릿의 길이와 폭을 조절하여, 대역폭을 거의 유지한 상태로, 공진 주파수를 낮추어 보다 소형화 하였다. 안테나 크기는 $20{\times}20{\times}4.0\;mm^3$이고 측정된 안테나 이득은 0.5 dBi, 대역폭은 VSWR 2:1에서 4.4 %(1,542$\sim$1,612 MHz), 3 dB 축비(axial-ratio) 대역폭은 약 15 MHz(1 %)이다.
