In this paper, the bandwidth and gain enhancement of a double-dipole quasi-Yagi antenna (DDQYA) using a modified balun and two directors is studied. The proposed DDQYA consists of two strip dipoles with different lengths, a ground reflector, which are connected through a coplanar strip line, and two directors. The modified balun is used to increase the bandwidth, whereas two directors are appended to the DDQYA to enhance the gain in the middle and high frequency band. The effects of the length and width of the first director on the antenna performance are analyzed, and final design parameters to obtain a gain over 7 dBi at 1.60-2.90 GHz band are obtained. A prototype of the proposed DDQYA is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experimental results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 1.57-3.00 GHz for a VSWR < 2, and measured gain ranges 7.1-7.8 dBi at 1.60-2.90 GHz band.

In this paper, we proposed vertically structured radiator for increasing bandwidth and gain of mobile phone internal antenna. The proposed antenna has vertically structured radiator instead of planar structured radiator to improve the antenna characteristics for GSM850/900 and DCS1800/PCS1900 bands. The antenna improve bandwidth of low band with 28 % than planar structured radiator. and also, improve bandwidth of high band with 14 %, efficiency 31.80~86.36 %, average gain -4.956~-0.617 dBi on the GSM850/900 and DCS1800/PCS1900 bands. These results are good performance among the small antenna with vertically structured radiator for increasing bandwidth and gain.

광섬유 통신에서 넓은 대역폭 증폭을 이루기 위하여 광대역 증폭기가 필요하다. 증폭기의 대역폭을 넓히기 위해 C-대역과 L-대역 EDFA를 결합하여 사용하는 등의 여러 가지 방법이 제안되고 있다. 그 중 L-대역을 결합하는 방법이 실제 시스템 적용에서 가장 즉시 이용가능한 방법이라 할 수 있다. L-대역 EDFA의 경우 상대적으로 이득이 낮으며 효율이 떨어진다. 이득이나 효율을 높이기 위해서 FBG, 양방향 펌핑(bidirectional pump), 그리고 이중경로(double-pass) 구조를 이용하는 방법이 제안되었다. (중략)

This paper designed a wideband, high gain planar trapezoidal monopole antenna using backside frequency selective surface (FSS) according to the need for wideband and high gain antenna required in various fields such as rapidly increasing wireless communication, autonomous vehicles, 5G wireless communication and wideband applications. The proposed antenna uses a dual metallic to have a structural difference from the existing FSS. By solving the complexity of the design antenna using genetic algorithms (GA) and high frequency structural simulators (HFSS) simulations, the proposed antenna is not only produce a high efficiency but also presents a wide bandwidth of 3.52 to 5.92 GHz and a gain of 10.5 dBi over the entire bandwidth, with the highest gain of 11.8 dBi at 5.1 GHz. It has been confirmed that the gain increased 8.6 dBi as the 36% impedance bandwidth of 1.8 GHz compared to the existing antenna improved to the 50% impedance bandwidth of 2.4 GHz.

감쇄를 겪는 무선 채널 환경에서 전력과 대역폭을 효율적으로 조절하여 데이터를 전송하는 적응 부호 변조 방식에 적합한 제어 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 부호화 시스템에 맞도록 평균 대역폭 효율을 다시 정의하였고, 이것에 기초하여 전력 및 대역폭 효율을 최대화하도록 변조 레벨 구간을 얻었다. 이 제어 기법은 부호 이득을 최대로 이용할 수 있고, 변조 형태에 관계없이 대역폭 효율을 최대화 할 수 있다. 모의 실험 결과 제안한 방식은 요구된 비트 오율 성능을 만족하면서 기존의 방식보다 전력 할당을 효과적으로 하기 때문에 대역폭 효율이 향상되었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 제어 기법은 감쇄 특성을 가진 무선 채널에서 고속 데이터 전송에 사용될 수 있다.

In this paper, the bandwidth and gain enhancement of a series-fed dipole pair antenna (SDPA) using a modified balun., a director, and two parasitic patches is studied. The proposed SDPA consists of two strip dipoles with different lengths, a ground reflector, which are connected through a coplanar strip line, a director, and two parasitic patches. The modified balun is used to increase the bandwidth, whereas the director and two parasitic patches are appended to the SDPA to enhance the gain in the middle and high frequency band. A prototype of the proposed SDPA is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experimental results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 1.56-3.10 GHz for a VSWR < 2, and measured gain maintains over 7 dBi in the frequency range of 1.55-3.00 GHz.

In this thesis, the Multi element antenna with wideband and enhanced gain characteristic is proposed to operate at both frequency range from 824 MHz to 896 11Hz for the CDMA and frequency range from 908.5 MHz to 914 MHz for the RFID band. The proposed antenna has tile size of $35{\times}15{\times}5mm^3$ in order to put it in the A model of S company and each element of the proposed antenna is folded to obtain the minimum size. To obtain the antenna with wideband and high gain characteristic, the radiator of the antenna is divided into 4 elements. As a result, bandwidth of the proposed antenna become broader and lower center frequency is appeared due to increased and lengthened current path. Moreover, the enhanced gain characteristic is verified because divided element structure that induct uniform current distribution can get increased antenna efficiency. To attain more uniform current distribution, modified structure of the feeding point that can deliver currents directly is designed. The antenna that alters the feeding structure has higher gain value. Each element is folded to increase the current paths considering the current directions to attain the miniaturization of the antenna. To measure the handset antenna, the handset case must be considered. Even though antenna is designed for predicted characteristic, the resonance frequency is shifted and antenna gain is deteriorated at predicted frequency while antenna is set in the handset case. 1.08 GHz of the resonant frequency is determined after frequency shift from 150 MHz to 200 MHz is confirmed and the maximum gain is measured as 3.1 dBi while antenna is not set in the handset. In case handset case is considered, the experimental results show that the impedance bandwidth for VSWR<2 is from 0.824 GHz to 0.936 GHz(110 MHz). This result appears that the proposed antenna can cover both CDMA and RFID band at once. The measured gain is from -3.4 dBi to -0.5 dBi and it has omni-directional pattern practically.

본 논문에서는 대역폭 효율을 향상시키는 공간 변조(spatial modulation) 다중 안테나 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 공간 변조 다중 안테나 시스템은 다중 송신 안테나 중 하나의 안테나를 사용하여 채널 간에 간섭을 피할 수 있어서 다중 경로가 많은 실내 환경에서 적합하다. 그러나 심벌 전송 구간마다 한 개의 안테나만을 선택하여 전송하므로 다중 안테나의 최대 부호 이득을 얻을 수 없다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 시공간블록부호화 방식을 적용한 공간 변조 다중 안테나 시스템은 두 개의 안테나를 사용하여 수신 성능을 향상시키지만 대역폭 효율이 향상되지 않는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Hybrid STBC 시스템을 적용한 공간 변조를 제안하여 공간 변조 다중 안테나 시스템의 대역폭 효율을 개선한다.
