초록

본 논문에서는 자동차용 내비게이션(navigation) 단말기에 내장된 DSRC 방식의 5.8GHz 대역 무선통신을 위한 패치 안테나를 설계하고 제작하였다. 폭이 좁고 긴 구조적 특징을 갖는 내비게이션 단말기의 상단면에 장착될 수 있도록 기존에 사용되어왔던 단일 반파장 마이크로스트립 패치안테나를 소형화하였고 배열하였다. 또한 배열을 통해 주행차선 안쪽으로 빔폭을 제한하였고, 소형화에 따른 이득저하를 보상하였다. 제안된 안테나를 시뮬레이션 함으로써 타당성을 검증하였으며, 제작된 안테나는 $18{\times}40{\times}0.8mm^3$ 크기를 갖고, 4dB 축비대역폭이 40MHz인 원형편파특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 6.2dBi 이득과 자동차 진행차선의 횡단면 방향으로 약 70도의 빔 폭이 측정되었다.

In this paper, microstrip array antenna is proposed for the wireless communication of DSRC(dedicated short range communication) scheme at 5.8GHz, which works as a part of the Navigation terminal. The microstrip patches minimized from a rectangular microstrip antenna with a half wavelength are arrayed to be mounted on the narrow and long area in the top side of the navigation terminal. Besides, the array antenna can limit its own beamwidth to the driving lane and has better directivity. It is simulated to verify the validity of the proposed application. The prototype fabricated has a volume of $18{\times}40{\times}0.8mm^3$. From the measurement, it has circular polarization performance of 4dB axial ratio over 40MHz frequency band. In addition, antenna gain of 6.2dBi and 3dB beamwidth of $70^{\circ}$ at cross section of driving lane have been achieved.
