Abstract

In this paper, a design method for a CPW-fed wideband loop antenna for indoor digital TV applications is studied. The proposed loop antenna consists of a square loop and two circular sectors which connect the loop with central feed points, and the CPW feed line is inserted in the lower circular sector. The CPW feed line is designed to match with the 75 ohm port impedance for DTV applications, and the ground slots are etched in order to improve the impedance matching in the middle frequency region. The effects of the gap between the circular sectors and the location and dimension of the ground slots on the input reflection coefficient and gain characteristics are examined to obtain the optimal design parameters. The optimized antenna is fabricated on FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that it operates in the frequency band of 463-1,280 MHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the DTV band.

본 논문에서는 동일면 도파관(CPW; coplanar waveguide)으로 급전된 실내 디지털 TV(DTV)용 광대역 루프 안테나의 설계 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 제안된 루프 안테나는 정사각형 루프와 중앙 급전점을 연결하는 두 개의 원형 섹터로 구성되며, 아래쪽 원형섹터에 CPW 급전선로가 삽입된 형태이다. CPW 급전선로는 DTV응용을 위해 75옴 포트 임피던스와 정합하도록 설계되었으며, 중간 주파수 대역에서 임피던스 정합을 개선하기 위한 슬롯이 접지면에 추가되었다. 원형 섹터 사이의 간격과 접지면 슬롯의 위치와 크기 변화에 따른 입력 반사계수와 이득 특성을 분석하여 최적의 설계 변수를 도출하였다. 최적화된 안테나를 FR4 기판에 제작하고 특성을 실험한 결과, 전압 정재파비(VSWR; voltage standing wave) < 2인 대역이 463-1,280 MHz으로 DTV 대역(470-806 MHz)에서 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.
