초록

본 논문에서는 마이크로 스트립으로 급전되는 quasi-Yagi 안테나(QYA)의 이득과 대역폭 개선방법에 대해 연구하였다. QYA의 광대역 특성은 평면 기판 상에 코플래너 스트립으로 급전되는 평면 다이폴 투사기와 그에 근접하는 기생 도파기로부터 얻을 수 있다. 도파기와 접지면 반사기를 추가하여 대역 내 안정된 이득분포를 갖도록 한다. 단락 종단된 마이크로 스트립 선로와 슬롯 선로로 구성된 안테나 내장형 밸런에 의해 QYA를 급전하며, 급전위치를 조절하여 광대역 임피던스 정합을 얻는다. 1.75-2.7 GHz 대역을 포함하고 이득이 4.5 dBi 이상인 QYA를 설계하고 FR4 기판(비유전율 4.4, 두께 1.6mm)상에 제작하였다. 실험결과 제작된 안테나는 대역폭 59.7%(1.55-2.87 GHz), 안정된 이득(4.7-6.5 dBi), 10 dB 이상의 전후방비 등의 우수한 특성을 보였다. 실험결과와 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과가 잘 일치하여 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, a method for the improvement in the gain and bandwidth of a microstrip-fed broadband planar quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) is studied. The broadband characteristics of the QYA are achieved from the coplanar strip-fed planar dipole driver and a parasitic director close to the driver. In order to obtain stable gain variation over the required frequency band, a director and a ground reflector are appended to the driver having a nearby parasitic director. The QYA is fed through an integrated balun composed of a microstrip line and a slot line which are terminated in a short circuit. By adjusting the feeding point, a broadband impedance matching is obtained. A QYA with an operating frequency band of 1.75-2.7 GHz and a gain > 4.5 dBi is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6mm. The experimental results show that the fabricated antenna has good performance such as a broad bandwidth of 59.7%(1.55-2.87 GHz), a stable gain between 4.7-6.5 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 10 dB. The measured data agree well with the simulation, which validates this study.
