Abstract

This paper was studied the double-band monopole antenna design with Mu-negative metamaterial unit cell, which operates at 700MHz and 2.45GHz band. Mu-negative unit cell made of the interdigital capacitor structure to operate a double-band antenna by inserting it into an antenna radiator unit. In addition, the parasitic conductor is implemented on the back side of the antenna radiation part, so that the resonance point of the antenna can be controlled and the bandwidth is improved. Finally, we implemented an antenna operating in the 750MHz UHD band and the 2.45GHz WiFi band. The designed antenna has a size of $200{\times}100mm^2$. Experimental results show that the 8dB bandwidth and gain characteristics at 750MHz band are 320MHz(42.7%), 5.28dB, 6dB bandwidth and gain at 2.45GH are 540MHz (21.6%), -0.46dB. From the experimental results, we confirmed that the resonance point with theoretical value is in agreement with experimental value, and the radiation patterns are have the omnidirectional characteristic in both bands.

본 논문에서는 Mu-negative Metamaterial 단일 셀을 사용하여 700MHz대역과 2.45GHz 대역에서 동작하는 이중대역 모노폴 안테나 설계에 관하여 연구하였다. Mu-negative metamaterial 단일셀은 interdigital capacitor 구조를 사용하였고, 안테나 방사부에 삽입함으로써 이중대역 안테나를 구현하였다. 또한 기생도체를 안테나 방사부 뒷면에 있도록 구현하여 안테나의 공진점을 제어할 수 있고, 대역폭을 개선하였다. 최종적으로 750MHz UHD대역과 2.45GHz WiFi 대역에서 동작하는 안테나를 구현하였다. 설계제작한 안테나의 크기는 $200{\times}100mm^2$이고, 실험 결과 750MHz 대역에서 8dB 대역폭과 이득특성은 각각 320MHz(42.8%), 5.28dB, 2.45GHz에서 6dB 대역폭과 이득은 540MHz(21.6%), -0.46dB이다. 공진점은 이론값과 실험값이 일치하였으며, 방사패턴은 두 대역에서 전방향 특성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.
