Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new antenna, which has wide bandwidth, good radiation patterns, and high-gain characteristics. We analysis the antenna using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain) method. And the antenna parameters are optimized to get maximum bandwidth. From the measured results, the bandwidth of the antenna is 0.839 octave, for the S11${\leq}$-10 dB. And the measured cross polarization level of the proposed antenna is less than -25 dB at the center frequency. Experimental data of the return loss and the radiation pattern of the proposed antenna are also presented, and the experimental bandwidth characteristics are relatively in good agreement with the FDTD results. The proposed antenna can be applied to MIMO, LAN, biomedical instruments, broadcasting-network system.

본 논문에서는 광대역, 양호한 복사패턴, 그리고 고이득 특성을 갖는 새로운 안테나를 제안하였다. FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain) 법을 이용하여 본 안테나를 해석하였으며, 안테나의 파라메타는 최대대역폭을 갖도록 최적화 설계하였다. 측정한 결과, 안테나의 대역폭은 0.839 옥타브(S11${\leq}$-10 dB). 그리고 제안된 안테나의 측정된 교차편파 복사패턴은 -25dB이하의 우수한 특성을 보였다. 안테나의 측정된 반사손실과 복사패턴 특성도 나타내었으며, 측정된 대역폭 특성은 FDTD 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 제안된 안테나는 MIMO, LAN, 의료기기, 그리고 방송용 시스템에 적용할 수 있다.
