Abstract

In this paper, we propose a multi-band antenna for wearable devices using metal frame coupling. The proposed antenna has a $45mm{\times}35mm$ antenna using metal frame and a ground dual coupling structure. The proposed multi-band antenna in this paper is optimized for small devices such as wearable devices. By using the metal frame as a part of the antenna, the volume of the antenna is reduced and satisfies under VSWR 3:1 impedance bandwidth of 70 MHz (870 ~ 940 MHz) in low frequency band, 280 MHz (1600 ~ 1880 MHz) and 280 MHz (1900 ~ 2170 MHz) in high frequency band. It also verified the applicability of wearable devices by measuring wireless performance indicators such as TRP/TIS.

논문에서는 메탈 프레임 커플링을 이용한 웨어러블 디바이스용 다중대역 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 $45mm{\times}35mm$ 크기의 메탈 프레임을 이용한 안테나와 접지면 이중 커플링 구조를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 다중대역 안테나는 웨어러블 디바이스와 같은 소형 디바이스에 최적화 된 구조이다. 메탈 프레임을 안테나의 일부로 사용함으로써 안테나 체적을 축소시키고 VSWR 3:1 이하 기준으로 저주파 대역에서 70 MHz (870~40 MHz), 고주파 대역에서 280 MHz (1600~880 MHz) 과 280 MHz (1900~170 MHz) 임피던스 대역폭을 만족한다. 또한, 무선 성능 지표들인 TRP/TIS 측정을 통해 웨어러블 디바이스 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.
