In this paper, a broadband MIMO antenna using the metal cover that is one of the antenna radiators is designed and implemented on the PCB. The proposed antenna consists of a monopole and an IFA fed by the coupling structure and a metal cover radiator. Therefore, a monopole and an IFA with a metal cover radiator operate simultaneously through a hybrid form of operation. The antenna satisfies VSWR 3:1 at the bands of LTE class 13, class 14, CDMA, GSM900, DCS, PCS, WCDMA, LTE class 40 and WiFi. The maximum ECC of diagonally fed MIMO antenna is 0.186. The measured average gain and efficiency were -5.14~-1.28 dBi and 30.87~74.48 % over the desire bands, respectively.

In This paper, a novel broadband monopole antenna is investigated experimentally. Our broadband monopole antenna yields the largest bandwidth from 1.72 ∼ 2.2 GHz ( 24.2 ％ ) for VSWR<1.2 So, this antenna can be designed to extend enough the coverage of dual band(PCS＋IMT-2000). The measurements and computations are confirmed to operating of the our broadband antenna, whose electrical characteristics have an attractive feature as handset communication applications.

This paper presents a novel design of the printed hyperpolar-transformed Sierpinski Carpet (HSC) antenna. By hyperpolar transforming the Sierpinski carpet geometry, from isotropic scaling symmetry to equiangular scaling symmetry, we get improved performance rather than that of the general Sierpinski Carpet antenna. The design parameter and performance of the proposed monopole antenna are investigated by simulation. And we showed that proposed HSC geometry gives more freedom for wideband antenna design such as flare angle, (angular)scale factor.

An insulated monopole antenna having a balun and a cap at the coaxial feeder and the monopole end, respectively, may be designed to have a well-confined uniform heating Pattern as well as the satisfactory impedance matching at the input port of the antenna. Measurements by using the infra red camera in the biologically equivalent tissue phantom shows that the highest temperature is 46 degree in centigrade at the 20 watts input Power for 2 minutes and input reflection less than -30 dB at 2450 MHz.

In this paper, we propese a novel wide band printed monopole antenna called the staircase bow-tie monopole antenna (SBMA). We apply an extraordinarr method for an impedance matching to conventional bow-tie monopoles. So we get the SBMA with a very wide band. Our antenna is smaller than a quarter wavelength in size but provides a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of about 77.8%. An antenna gain and a radiation pattern are about 1.7dBi and omni-directional at 1.7 GHz, respeotively.

In this paper, a broadband sleeve monopole antenna using a loading coil in sleeve is proposed. The antenna of the proposed structure has the same of the single sleeve monopole antenna, except for using the coil instead of the inner conductor in sleeve. As a result, it is found that the bandwidth is 1.239～2.154 GHz(above 53.9%) for S$\sub$11/=-10dB(VSWR<2), and the antenna impedance is good for a communication system and feeder which the impedance has 50$\Omega$.

A printed Tee-type monopole antenna loaded by a pair of L-type slots is studied. The effects of position, width, and length of loaded slots on frequency bandwidth of the antenna are examined. As an examples, a compact dual band monopole antenna is designed for the ISM band $[2.4\sim2.48GHz,\;5.15\sim5.35GHz,\;and\;5.725\sim5.85GHz]$ use and the characteristics of the constructed antenna are studied experimentally.

In this paper, we have developed a retrodirective active array operating in the 2 GHz LS band. The retrodirective array has the property of redirecting any electromagnetic wave back to the incoming direction without any priory informations. The system is integrated with phase conjugators and antenna array. Microwave phase conjugators can be implemented by microwave mixers. In this research, 2-port gate mixers using pHEMT and $1{\times}4$ monopole array have been used to achieve the retrodirectivity. The measured results have been compared with the theoretical prediction, and it has been shown that there exists a reasonable agreement between them. The monopole array can be used easily in many areas for simplicity and cost-effective property, and the retrodirective array developed in this research can be applied directly in the base station facilities for the wireless mobile communications. indoor wireless LAN and RFID transponders.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of a compact hexa-band coupling antenna for 4G mobile handset using a small element with two slots. In order to obtain sufficient bandwidth (LTE700, GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS) with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio $(VSWR){\leq}3:1$, two slots are inserted in the small element, and coupling patch is used. The measured result of the fabricated antenna provides 410MHz bandwidth form 0.688 to 1.098GHz and 643 MHz bandwidth form 1.607 to 2.250GHz (${\leq}VSWR 3:1$) with the gain ranging from -0.52 to 4.68 dBi. Also, a good radiation pattern is achieved within the hexa-band (0.698-0.960GHz and 1.710-2.170GHz) range.

A small monopole antenna with a novel impedance matching structure is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is designed for W-LAN(IEEE 802.11b). The antenna design concept is based on a ${\lambda}/8$ folded monopole antenna with a self-impedance matching structure. The size of the proposed antenna is smaller than the resonant length, thus the impedance at the terminal of the antenna becomes very capacitive. To compensate fur this impedance mismatching, the proposed antenna employs a novel self-impedance matching structure. The self-impedance matching structure is located on the top of the antenna; it improves the impedance matching and ultimately the efficiency of the antenna. The measured results of the proposed antenna show reasonable agreement with prediction.
