In this paper, newly proposed dual-band microstrip antennas using stacked inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements are presented for GPS $L_1(1.575GHz)$ and $L_2(1.227GHz)$ bands. For making dual band which has large interval, ${\lambda}/4$($L_1$ band) inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements were stacked at both side of radiation apertures on the half-wavelength($L_2$ band) patch antennas. The resonance in the parasitic elements occurs through coupling to the patch. Next, due to using circular polarization at GPS, ${\lambda}/4$($L_1$ band) inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements was stacked using sequential rotation technique on the patch and both side of the diagonal corners of the antenna were eliminated to make dual-band circular polarization. The designed circular polarized antenna's dimensions are $0.43{\lambda}L{\times}0.43{\lambda}L{\times}0.06{\lambda}L$ (${\lambda}L$ is the free-space wavelength at 1.227 GHz). Measured -10 dB bandwidths was 120 MHz(7.6%) and 82.5 MHz(6.7%) at GPS $L_1$ and $L_2$ bands. and 3 dB axial ration bandwidths are 172 MHz(10.9%) and 25 MHz(2.03%), respectively. All of these cover the respective required system bandwidths. Within each of the designed bands, broadside radiation patterns were observed.

Ultra-wideband antennas are desired for several applications including satellite communications, radars, remote sensing system, telescopes, and microwave imaging systems. There are many types of wideband antenna structures, but the tapered slot Vivaldi antenna is advantageous in terms of cost, weight, scan angle capabilities, end-fire radiation, and ease of feeding and system integration. In this paper, a modified antipodal Vivaldi antenna is presented. A novel AVA with H-shaped parasitic patches has the capacity to improve the radiation characteristics in the whole operation frequencies. A prototype of the modified antenna with RT/duroid 5880 substrate of a relative dielectric constant (${\epsilon}_r$) of 2.2, and a thickness of 31mil is fabricated and experimentally studied as well. It measures a ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$ of less than -10dB and gain of 9-12dBi over 7.8-52.5GHz which shows reasonable agreement with the simulated one.

In this paper, parasitic patches gap-coupled microstrip antenna and stacked microstrip patch antenna combined with parallel coupled lines, which are a kind of wideband impedance matching network, are proposed to get the wider bandwidth. The iterative method using a distributed network is proposed to design the parallel coupled lines as a wideband impedance matching network. Measurements show that the proposed antennas provide wider bandwidths ~1.6 times and ~1.5 times those of conventional parasitic gap-coupled microstrip patch antenna and stacked microstrip patch antenna. In addition, measured radiation patterns show no serious variation of radiation patterns though the parallel coupled lines is added. The antenna gain is, however, lowered about 1 dB and 0.5 dB by the coupling loss in the parallel coupled lines.

In this paper, we propose and fabricate the dual-band microstrip patch antenna with parasitic patch for S-DMB(Satellite-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and ITS (Intelligent Transport System) services. The measured - 10 dB bandwidth and the minimum return loss is 300 MHz and - 27 dB for S-DMB, 600 MHz and -17 dB for ITS, respectively. It is noticed that the measured and simulated results are agreed well. The S-DMB antenna has conical beam pattern in the vertical plane and has omni-directional beam pattern in the horizontal plane. The conical beam pattern has the maximum gain about 4.2 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $45^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 2.6 GHz. The ITS antenna has directional beam pattern in the vertical plane that has maximum gain about 6.4 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $0^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz.

In this paper, we design an array antenna structure based on a patch ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna with three elements for reliable communication in high-speed railway wireless communication. The ESPAR antenna consists of the active element with a single RF-chain and the parasitic elements surrounding an active element. The ESPAR antenna is capable of beamforming by adjusting the reactance of the parasitic element. We propose a vertical array antenna structure based on the patch ESPAR antenna and simulate it according to the change of the number of antennas and the distance between antenna rows. The simulation results show that we can get the maximum beam gain and highest directivity when the distance between antenna rows is ${\lambda}$.

An UWB(Ultra Wide Band) antenna with band rejection characteristics is designed and implemented. A planar radiation patch with slot, parasitic elements on both sides of strip and ground plane on back side consist the proposed antenna. The slot in the radiation patch and parasitic elements contribute corresponding bands rejection characteristics. The slot contributes for WiMAX(World interoperability for Microwave Access, 3.30~3.70 GHz) band rejection and parasitic elements contribute for X-Band(7.25~8.395 GHz) rejection. Ansoft's HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) was used to design the proposed antenna and performance simulations. Simulation result showed VSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) less than 2.0 for UWB band except for dual rejection bands of 3.30~3.86 GHz and 7.21~8.39 GHz. And VSWR measurement result for the implemented antenna shows less than 2.0 for 3.10~10.60 GHz band except dual rejection bands of 3.25~3.71 GHz and 7.25~8.46 GHz.

이동체 탑재형 안테나는 설치 장소의 특성상 소형화와 경량화가 필수적인 요소이다. 그러므로 이동체 탑재형 안테나의 경우 반사판형 안테나보다 마이크로스트립 어레이 안테나가 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 고에서는 마이크로 스트립 슬롯 어레이 안테나를 설계하였다. 만족스러운 고 이득을 얻을 수 있으며 동시에 패치 소자의 개수를 줄이기 위해 패치 단일 소자가 가급적 고 이득을 낼 수 있는 구조로 설계하였다. 본 고에서 설계한 슬롯 안테나는 기생슬롯을 가진 H 자형 타입의 소자이다. 설계는 제작상의 오차를 고려하여, 운용 주파수 11.7~12.75 GHz에서 VSWR 1.8:1 이하를 목표로 하였다. 제작된 안테나의 측정결과는 11.7~12.75 GHz대역에 걸쳐 VSWR < 1.8의 만족한 결과를 보이고, 단일 소자의 시뮬레이션 이득 결과는 10 dBi를 보였으며 $4\times4$ 어레이를 했을 경우 이득은 22 dBi의 값을 보였다. 제작되어진 안테나는 추후 급전 네트웍의 최적화를 통해 상호 간섭(Mutual Coupling)을 최소화하여 효율을 최대화한다면 직접 위성 서비스를 수신하기 위한 초소형 안테나로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A microstrip patch antenna with B-WLL applications is designed and manufactured. To make a array antenna the size of patch antenna was miniaturized. A broad band is obtained by two additional parasitic elements, which are closely located to the main patch. The bandwidth of the manufactured antenna is 15% at the center frequency of 26.8 GHz. Radiation patterns are measured over a wide bandwidth.

In this paper, a novel triple-band planar inverted F antenna(PIFA) is proposed. The goal of this paper is to design a small antenna which is operated in triple band. Using T-shape slit and stacked U-shape parasitic patch, good impedance matching is achieved in three band. T-shape slit is inserted on the main patch in order to effectively control the excited patch surface current distributions. The proposed antenna occupies a small volume of $26{\times}9.5{\times}6mm^3$, and the obtained impedance bandwidths cover the required operating bandwidths of the GPS(1565-1585MHz), IMT-2000(1885-2200MHz) and Bluetooth (2400-2484MHz) bands.
