  • 본 논문에서는 기존의 QMSA에 비해 안테나 전체 길이를 소형화함은 물론 전기력선이 미치는 범위가 제한받지 않도록 그라운드 판을 접어 올려 방사 패치와 단락시키고 급전점의 위치를 조절하여 더욱 소형화할 수 있는 QMSA를 제안하고 설계 제작했다. 그리고 안테나에 잡음지수가 낮아지도록 LNA를 연결하여 본래의 QMSA에 비해 이득이 높고, 잡음에 강한 능동안테나를 설계·제작하였다. QMSA와 LNA는 1.8 ㎓대로 설계하여 각각의 이득과 안정도를 확인하고, 안테나와 증폭기가 통일한 평면상에 구성된 능동안테나와 QMSA를 비교 평가하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 전력증폭기를 슬롯이 적재된 삼각형 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나와 동일 평면의 기판에 집적화하여 전력증폭기 출력단의 제 3 고조파 튜닝을 안테나가 수행함으로써 전력효율을 향상시키는 효과에 대해 고찰하였다. 또한 실제 집적화에 따른 송\ulcorner수신 신호의 분리 문제를 위해 이중공진 특성을 이용한 inset 마이크로스트립 급전과 coax 급전의 이중급전 방식을 사용하였고, 이에 따라 두 ports 사이에 높은 격리 특성을 갖도록 능동 집적 안테나를 설계하였다. 선형성을 증대시키기 위해 제 3 고조파 튜닝 효과를 갖도록 안테나에 슬롯을 적재시켜 제 3 고조파에서 방사를 억제 구조를 갖게 함으로써 고조파 튜닝회로를 축소시킨 능동 집적 안테나를 설계, 제작하여 측정한 결과, B급 전력증폭기와 안테나를 각각 제작하여 결합한 형태보다 약 5%의 전력 효율 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 능동 집적 안테나의 큰 문제점이었던 송\ulcorner수신 분리에 대하여서도, IMT-2000 주파수 대역의 수신 port에서 송신 주파수의 신호를 -35dB 이하로 격리시키는 특성을 나타냄을 관찰할 수 있었다.

  • As the mobile services have been increased, the interference of the neighboring base stations is increased and the PIMD(Passive Inter-Modulation Distortion) has been a main issue for the design of base station antenna systems. In this paper, it is proposed the PIMD test method for the active basestation antenna whose radiators are directly connected with main active parts including amplifiers, and we presents its test results using a developed active basestation antenna. From the results, the active basestation antenna has the better PIMD performance than conventional passive structure by 8.4dB. The proposed PIMD test method can be used to get the accurate PIMD test result because the test environment is very similar with real basestation.

  • An active phased away antenna consists of many channels including radiator and active circuitary that contains low noise amplifiers and phase shifters. Each channel has different initial phase shift and gain because of inequality in active circuitary itself, interface between radiator and active circuitary, beam forming network and other antenna configurations. This is an inherent problem in active phased away antenna, therefore each channels' initial phase shifts and gains should be calibrated for obtaining the designed radiation pattern and antenna gain. In this paper, an efficient calibration method for the active phased array antenna is presented. By performing the above method, thhe antenna gain is increased more than 2.0 dB after calibrating considerably unequal 12 channels' initial phase shifts and gains.

  • In the VHF range, active antennas are widely used for wideband applications due to their small size. Active antenna consists of antenna elements and amplifiers, which are directly connected to each other. Gain and noise-figure characteristics are very important for good sensitivity performance, because it is located at the front end of a receiving system. In this study, we developed an active dipole antenna with 5:1 bandwidth(100${\sim}$500 MHz), which consists of a dipole antenna and a P-HEMT amplifier. To obtain required performances, the antenna and the amplifier should be designed simultaneously. In order for that, we introduced an equivalent port concept to model the 1-port dipole antenna as an equivalent 2-port system. Using the proposed equivalent port, the performance of the active dipole antenna was simulated by the ADS. In order to measure the gain and noise-figure characteristics of the antenna, we utilized the same concept of the two-port equivalent impedance model. The measurement results for typical gain, NF and VSWR in the required frequency band were 8dBi, 9dB and 1.7:1, respectively. The radiation patterns at the principal planes were same as the typical radiation pattern of a dipole antenna. By comparing the simulation results with measured ones, it is confirmed that the proposed methods works well.

  • In this paper, the oscillator type active antenna used as an element of active phased array antenna is designed and fabricated using slot coupling. The radiating element and active circuit are fabricated on each layer respectively and coupled electromagnetically through slot on the ground plane. This structure can solve the problems such as narrow bandwidth of microstrip antenna, spurious radiation by active circuits, and spaces for integration of the feeding circuits which are caused by integrating antennas with oscillator circuits in the same layer. The active antenna in this paper, the oscillation frequency can be tuned linearly by controlling the drain bias voltage of FET. The frequency tuning range is between 12.37 GHz to 12.65 GHz when bias voltage is varied from 3V to 9V, thus frequency tuning bandwidth is 280 MHz (2.24%). The output power of antenna is uniform within 5dB over frequency tuning range. Therefore this active antenna can be used as an element of linear or planar active phased array antennas.

  • This study describes the technique of the beam pattern measurement of array antenna for VHF band radar using drone and active beam pattern measuring device. There is no anechoic chamber for measuring the beam pattern of a large size antenna in the country. In this study, to test the antenna beam pattern characteristics of the developed VHF band radar, the antenna beam pattern characteristics were tested by Drone mounting an Active Beam Pattern Measuring Device. By comparing the results of the pre-simulation analysis with the measured results for the antenna, we could confirm that the beamwidth and side-lobe characteristics are satisfactory. Through the antenna beam pattern measurement technology using Drone and Active Beam Pattern Measuring Device, the beam pattern measurement technology of array antenna of low frequency band and large antenna for low band radar will be used.
