Abstract

In this paper, we have illuminated the radiation modes of rectangular planar antennas to interpret the nature of the wideband characteristic upon which formulas for bandwidth prediction are presented. Rectangular planar antennas are being investigated by many researchers in virtue of relatively simple design and fabrication procedures to replace the cylindrical monopoles. But the design principle for rectangular planar antennas is still based on that of cylindrical monopoles, and the nature of the wideband characteristic and the formula to estimate the upper band frequency are not analyzed yet. In this research, we have shown the patterns of the radiation modes explaining the wideband characteristic and also proposed the upper band frequency with minor modification for the lower band frequency formula based on mode formation principles. Finally we have confirmed the validity of our results, within 10 % accuracy, by the application to some published results.

본 논문에서는 광대역 사각형 평면 모노폴 안테나의 복사 모드를 해석함으로써 사각형 평면 모노폴이 광대역 특성을 갖는 원리를 규명하고 대역폭 예측 공식을 제시한다. 사각형 평면 모노폴 안테나는, 설계와 제작이 용이한 장점으로 인하여, 기존의 원통 실린더형 모노폴을 대체하여 UWB(Ultra Wide Band) 및 다중 밴드용 안테나로서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 설계에 있어서 실린더형 모노폴의 설계 원리를 준용하고 있으며, 광대역이 실현되는 원리의 규명과 상측 대역의 주파수 범위를 예측할 수 있는 공식이 아직 발표되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서 사각형 평면 모노폴은 주파수에 따라 상이한 이중 복사 모드를 가짐으로써 광대역 특성이 구현됨을 보였으며, 각 모드의 형성 원리에 근거하여 대역폭을 예측할 수 있는 공식을 제시하였다. 주파수 범위 예측 공식을 기존에 발표된 제작 결과에 적용하여 10 % 이내의 정확도가 얻어짐을 확인하였다.
