In this paper, a log periodic bow-tie dipole array (LPBDA) antenna for UWB communications is investigated. Bow-tie shaped dipole elements are used instead of general dipole elements for LPDA antennas and the input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the LPBDA as a function of a flare angle are analyzed. It turns out that as the flare angle of the bow-tie dipole elements is increased, the lowest operating frequency is shifted toward lower frequency and the operating frequency band is increased, but the average gain is decreased. However, the gain variation of the LPBDA is much decreased and the front-back ratio is improved compared to the LPDA. Standard LPDA and LPBDA with a flare angle of 13 degrees are fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. Measured gain for the LPDA ranges from 4 to 6.5 dBi at 3.1 to 10.6 GHz band, while that for the LPBDA is in the range of 4.2 to 5 dBi.

In this paper, a dual-band antenna is proposed for the RF power harvester system as well as RFID tag. The proposed antenna operates as the passive and active RFID tag antenna in the UHF and microwave band, respectively. In addition, to charge the battery of an active RFID tag in the microwave band, it harvest the RF signal for tagging from the passive RFID tag antenna in the UHF band. The proposed antenna operates in the UHF band (917~923.5 MHz) and microwave band (2.4~2.45 GHz). In order to obtain the dual-band operation, the dipole structure and meander parasitic elements are proposed as the ${\lambda}/2$ and $1{\lambda}$ dipole antenna, respectively. The radiating dipole structure in the microwave band acts as the coupled feed for the meander parasitic elements in the UHF band. The impedance bandwidth (VSWR < 2) of the proposed antenna covers 917~923.5 MHz (UHF band) and 2.4~2.45 GHz (Microwave band). Measured total efficiencies are over 45 % in the UHF band and over 70 % in the microwave band. Peak gains are over 0.18 dBi and 2.8 dBi in the UHF and microwave band with an omni-directional radiation pattern, respectively.

This paper presented design for a dipole antenna operated at 900 MHz band RFID tag, and antenna performance varied by the sticked material was experimentally evaluated. When dipole antenna was sticked by the material having a difffrent electric characteristic such as dielectric material, fero-magnetic material and conductor, variations of antenna return loss and radiation pattern according to the sticked material kinds, size, and height between antenna and the sticked plate were experimentally observed and evaluated. When antenna was sticked by dielectric surface, the measured return loss and radiation pattern by affection of different dielectric permittivity ratio showed resonant frequency shift of about 40 MHz and relative attenuation of 1 dB to 3 dB. Even though frequency shift by size variation of the sticked plate was observed, the measured radiation pattern of dipole antenna located on the sticked plate was similar with one without backside plate. In the case of conductor or fero-magnetic material as the sticked ground plate, because of frequency shift and phase difference by distance between dipole antenna and the sticked ground plate, amplitude decrease of radiation pattern at 910 MHz was observed about 5 dB above.

In this paper, a wide-band dipole antenna suitable for use in PCS/WCDMA/WiBro($1.750{\sim}2.39\;GHz$) base station array antenna is presented. The presented antenna is a dipole antenna with pate which has the reflector element and improves the gain flatness. To confirm the wide-band characteristics and the gain flatness of the presented antenna, the experimental antenna is fabricated and its radiation characteristics are measured, compared with calculated results. It is shown that the designed antenna has VSWR less than 1.5, gain over 5 dBi, and gain flatness 0.74 dB in $1.75{\sim}2.39\;GHz$. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results. From these results, we confirm that the designed antenna can be used as a array element of the wide-band base station array antenna for PCS/WCDMA/WiBro.

In this paper, a CLPDA (Crossed Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna) for EMI / EMC Measurement is presented, and is analyzed by Combining the moment method and the transmission line theory. The CLPDA has a broaddband characteristic. It is so important to achieve a impedance matching over op- erating frequency range that Twin-boom method is used at feed point. Here, the current distribution, input admittance, radiation pattern and gain are calculated. In practice CLPDA is fabricated. Calculated result for radiation pattern and gain are very closed to measured result.

In this paper, we studied a design method for a quasi-Yagi antenna operating over a broad bandwidth covering the UHF RFID(902-928 MHz) and GNSS(1,164-1.605 MHz). The proposed antenna is composed of three elements(dipole, reflector, and director) and fed by a coplanar waveguide. To reduce its size, a balun is integrated inside the antenna, and the ends of both the dipole and reflector are bent. Broadband impedance matching was obtained by placing the director near to the dipole and loading a chip capacitor inside the antenna. The antenna, designed through simulations, was fabricated on an FR4 substrate with 0.8 mm thickness. The experiment results for the antenna characteristics agree very well with the simulation.

In this paper, HF band LPDA(Log-periodic Dipole Antenna) and MLPDA(Modified Log-periodic Dipole Antenna) above lossy grounds were analyzed using moment method by considering the practical media parameter of lossy grounds, not assuming free space or perfect ground approximation. The radiation pattern and gain of LPDA and MLPDA as functions of frequency, antenna height from ground, and antenna tilt angle are presented, and the lossy ground effect on antennas characteristics are described. MLPDA was found to exhibit a smaller variation for gain and radiation pattern and a higher maximum beam direction relative to LPDA. It was shown that media parameter of lossy grounds and antenna height have a direct influence on the antenna gain of both LPDA and MLPDA.

In this paper Dual Band Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna(DLPDA), which can be used at the Cellular/IMT-2000 band, is proposed. The proposed antenna is composed of 2 of Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna(LPDA) and parasitic elements. To investigate the reliability of the proposed antenna, DLPDA is designed at the cellular/IMT-2000 band and analyzed by using the method of moment, Numerical results are compared with measured results. It is shown that although the antenna length is 70 cm, its radiation characteristics satisfied the design goals of gain, VSWR and beamwidth at the Cellular/IMT-2000 band. From these results, the proposed DLPDA is confirmed as the dual band antenna which can be used at the cellular/IMT-2000 band.

In this paper, a design method for a compact broadband planar dipole antenna fed by a microstrip (MS) line is studied. The proposed broadband dipole is optimized for terrestrial digital television (DTV) receiving. The dipole is fed by an MS line with 75-ohm characteristic impedance on an FR4 substrate and its size is $90mm{\times}180mm$. The dipole is modified to half bow-tie type for size reduction. A simplified balun is adopted for the impedance matching between the MS line and coplanar strip which feeds the dipole. The optimized dipole antenna for DTV band (470-806 MHz) is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.
