In this paper, we design a microstrip patch antenna using 3-dimensional microstrip transition with the VSWR 1.3 over the PCS band (1.75 -1.87 GHz). We study experimentally the effect of the antenna parameters on antenna input impedance. And using the proposed antenna, we fabricate a polarization diversity any antenna and discuss the possibility of antenna for PCS base station.

This paper presents a single and 2-patch microstrip array antenna operated on a frequency of 10.3GHz(x-band). It outlines the process of designing a microstrip patch array antenna using CST MWS. Initially, a single microstrip antenna was designed, followed by optimization using CST MWS to attain optimal return losses and gain. Subsequently, the design was expanded to create a 2×1 microstrip inset-fed array antenna for the X-band applications. The construction material is Roger RO4350B, with specific dimensions (h=0.79mm, 𝜖_r = 3.54). The achieved results include an S11 of -18dB at the resonant frequency (10.3GHz), a gain of 9.82dBi, a bandwidth of 0.165GHz, and a 3-dB beamwidth of 30°, 121° in Az(𝜑=0) and El(𝜑=90) plane, respectively. The future plan involves the fabrication of this array antenna and further expansion to a 4×4 array of microstrip antennas. It is then incorporated on the X-band applications for practical uses.

Low cost patch array antenna for high sensitivity electromagnetic(EM) sensor is presented. The operating frequency band of the antenna is 24.05~24.25 GHz. Array structure is the symmetrical pattern by Chebyshev polynomial and the feed point is located in the middle of the array. Also, the gain of the array antenna can be increased by the side wings which are connected with the ground plane. It is proved through simulation and the measurement results that the operating frequency and the side-lobe level(SLL) are rarely changed when the inclined angle of the side wings is varied.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the electromagnetic field characteristics of microstrip array antenna with the FDTD(finite difference-time domain method). Finite difference equations of Maxwell's equations are defined in rectangular coordinate systems. To simulate the unbounded problem like a free space, the Mur's absorbing boundary condition is also used. After modeling the microstrip array antenna with the grid structure, the transient response of the field distribution is depicted in the time domain.

A noble phased-array antenna of the circular form with microstrip slots was designed for steering the radiation beam and increasing the directivity and gain. The directivity and gain could be controlled, varying the number of slots and the radius of a circle, but here, the 40 .deg. beam scanning antenna system was achieved by tangentially arranging 4 mi- crostrip slots on a circumference and the analog phase shifter was used to adjust phase difference in the adjacent elements. And such a system has a microstrip configuration taking the effects of the line dispersion and discontinuities into account at 10 Ghz. The experimental results were fairly agreed with theoretical values, and this circular phased array had an improved performance over the rectangular phased array with 64-microstrip patches in a view of the number of array elements.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a shaped-beam array antenna which will be used for a PCS basestation using structure that is coupled to a microstrip line by an aperture on the interening ground plane. The shaped-beam pattern is obtained by an antenna synthesis method. An array antenna considering the mutual coupling between array elements patches) and a feeding network are designed by CAD tools. The feeding network is designed by using the Wilkinson power divider to obtain the optimized shaped-beam. The designed results are compared with the measured data.

Aperture-coupled circular polarization microstrip array antenna is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is useful for 2.4GHz ISM band and its aperture shape is a modified H-slot. The optimal design parameters for the antenna structure is found by using electromagnetic analysis tool HFSS repeatedly. The HFSS simulation results, such as return loss, axial ratio, radiation pattern and gain of the proposed array antenna are compared with results of the single antenna. It is able to verify that the proposed array antenna is valuable enough to be used in various applications as well as 2.4GHz ISM band.

In the sequentially rotated array antennas, the characteristics of antenna gain, axial ratio and cross polarization have been analyzed with a varying of sequential array constant(number of array element, figure of rotation) respectively. Where the antenna element of array is a probe feeding, LHCP truncated microstrip antenna whose resonant frequency is in 11.85GHz. The simulation results of 23 SRA antennas((M=2, 3, 4, 6, 8), $(1\leqP\leqM)$) has shown as follows. The widest 3dB bandwidth of axial ratio appears at P=2 which is in-dependant of M, the highest antenna gain appears when a sequential array constant has a pair of (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (6, 3), (8, 1) respectively. Specially, all of the SRA antenna appear very poor characteristics in case of M=P. Therefore the SRA antenna has to be designed as selecting a optimal sequential array constant among a lot of simulation data.

A microstrip array antenna is designed and tested for satellite broadcasting receptions. The Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch and SSFIP(slot­strip­foam­inverted patch) structures are used. The Sierpinski geometry is composed of 3 equilateral triangular patch and is easy to generate a circular polarization by sequential rotation array techniques. This 1${\times}$3 Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch antenna is extended to 8${\times}$2 array antenna for satellite broadcasting receptions. The measurement results of the reflection coefficients and the radiation patterns of the manufactured array antenna show good agreements with the simulation results.
