In this paper, we propose a three-element CRPA array with improved low-elevation gain. The proposed antenna consists of a feed patch and a radiating patch, and the feed patch is connected by a coaxial cable. The radiating patch is electromagnetically coupled to the feed patch, which allows to improve the low-elevation gain of the antenna. To demonstrate the suitability of the proposed antenna, the antenna characteristics are measured in a full anechoic chamber. The resulting bore-sight gain is 2.8 dBic with an axial ratio of 2.7 dB, and the average gain at the low-elevation direction of $75^{\circ}$ is -1.4 dBic. The results verify that the proposed antenna is suitable for CRPA arrays with anti-jamming capability.

In this paper, the novel patch antenna for polarization diversity using switching element is presented. The proposed antenna consists of the square patch with a pair of truncated corners and a microstrip-feed line with power divider. A switching microstrip-line feed works at schottky diode ON / OFF that is placed at $\lambda$/4 point from branch-off point of power divider. Polarization diversity has two types(LHCP. RHCP) as switching the schottky diodes. The measured 3 ㏈ axial ratio bandwidth for switching operation is about 2 %.

We implemented a dual-band slot-coupled patch (SCP) antenna for the external access point (AP) of the wireless local area network (WLAN) band. The antennas consist of two radiators on three layers. The first radiator is a slotted bow tie antenna operating at the 2.4-2.483 GHz band. The second radiator is a patch antenna with parasitic elements operating at 4.095-5.845 GHz. The high gain and broad bandwidth is important element of wireless access. To enhance the bandwidth, a coupled feeding was used in the first radiator and a parasitic patch was used in the second radiator. We used a parasitic patch and chock to improve the directivity and isolation in both radiators. The porposed antenna was designed by EM simulation tool and measured. The S11 of the antenna was less than -11dB (VSWR 1.8:1) at operating frequency. The peak gain was more than 6 dBi in the first antenna and more than 8 dBi in the second antenna.

본 논문에서는 기존의 QMSA에 비해 안테나 전체 길이를 소형화함은 물론 전기력선이 미치는 범위가 제한받지 않도록 그라운드 판을 접어올린 좌측 평행 평판과 방사 패치사이 용량을 장하하고 급전점의 위치를 조절하여 더욱 소형화할 수 있는 용량을 장하한 QMSA를 제안하고 설계ㆍ제작했다. 설계ㆍ제작된 용량을 장하한 QMSA는 중심 주파수를 2.0GHz하고 급전점을 변화시켜서 안테나 전체 길이를 40mm에서 37mm로 소형화하였다. 또한, 급전점을 변화시켜서 용량을 장하한 QMSA의 방사 패치 길이가 17mm(equation omitted g/4)의 2배인 35.1(equation omitted g/2)로 제작된 용량을 장하한 변형된 MSA는 공진주파수가 2.16GHz로 용량을 장하한 QMSA에 비해 소형화할 수는 없으나 대역폭이 9.20 %로 매우 넓음을 보였다. 그리고 상용화된 HFSS에 의해서 QMSA, 용량을 장하한 QMSA, 변형된 MSA, 용량을 장하한 변형된 MSA등의 방사 특성과 리턴로스 특성 분석은 용량을 장하하는 안테나가 이득은 낮지만 공진 주파수가 낮아서 소형화할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we present novel dual-band microstrip antennas using inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements vertically at radiation apertures for GPS L1(1.575 GHz) and L2(1.227 GHz) bands. For making dual band which has large interval, the inverted-L-shaped parasitic element was loaded at the radiation aperture of a half-wavelength patch antenna(GPS L1) in opposite direction of the feeding point for receiving the low frequency(GPS L2). The low frequency occurs by perturbation and coupling between the patch and parasitic. Next, due to use circular polarizations at the GPS applications, two inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements were loaded at radiation apertures of each polarizations and the feeding point was moved at diagonal part of the patch. The dimensions of the designed circularly polarized antenna were $88.5{\times}79{\times}10.4mm^3$ ($0.36{\lambda}L{\times}0.32{\lambda}L{\times}0.04{\lambda}L$, ${\lambda}L$ is the free-space wavelength at 1.227 GHz). Measured -10 dB bandwidths were 116.3 MHz(7.4%) and 64.3 MHz(5.2%) at GPS L1 and L2 bands, respectively. All of these cover the respective required system bandwidths. The measured 3 dB axial ratio bandwidths were 11.7 MHz(0.74%) and 14 MHz(1.14%), respectively. Within each of the designed bands, broadside radiation patterns were observed.

A wideband stacked patch antenna with parasitic elements, rectangular and triangle shaped patches, is proposed. Two different shaped parasitic elements are placed in the above of main rectangular microstrip patch antenna in order to achieve wide bandwidth for 860 MHz band. Coupling between the main patch and parasitic patches is realized by thick air gap. The gap and locations of parasitic patches are found to be the main factor of the wideband impedance matching. The proposed antenna is designed on a ground plane with small size of $119mm{\times}109mm$ for application of compact transceivers. And the impedance bandwidth of the antenna should satisfied CDMA band to the 780MHz~890MHz.

In this paper, the implementation of a null-steering antenna array using GPS patch antennas is suggested. The antenna array consists of five patch antenna elements fabricated on the ceramic substrate. The antenna element proposed here is a typical circular polarization patch and a prototype patch array antenna is manufactured on the PCB. The antenna has one reference element located at the center and other four elements are placed at the corners. A null in the direction of the jamming signal can be produced by changing the phases of 4-elements. Simulation results of the array antenna by CST MWS are presented and discussed. The basic performances are measured and the results are shown. The results show that the antenna presented here can be used to remove the signals from the directions of any jammers.

In this paper, the resonance characteristics and radiation characteristics of a spherical patch on a dielectric sphere are analyzed. Resonance characteristics can be obtained from the resonant frequency and the quality factor. Radiation characteristics can be also analyzed from the E-field in the far region. In order to calculate these parameters, spectral domain analysis method is applied. Algebraic equation can be obtained in spectral domain through Vector Legendre transform pair and Galerkin's method. So, efficient calculation is possible numerically. It is investigated that radius, curvature of a spherical patch, and dielectric constant of a dielectric sphere have an effect on characteristics of a spherical patch.

In this paper, a microstrip surface wave antenna(SWA) with a frequency selective surface structure(FSS) is designed and measured. A microstrip SWA has many advantages such as low profile, low weight, easy fabrication, and compatibility with monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMIC). In addition, it has demonstrated monopole like beam patterns. The microstrip SWA consists of two parts : a center-fed modified microstrip patch to excite surface wave, and a periodic patches to support the propagation of the surface waves. To obtain wide bandwidth, the ring type parasitic element is inserted and the circular patch is selected for the unit element in FSS structure. Experimental results show that the microstrip SWA has monopole like beam patterns at 5.9GHz. Impedance bandwidth and gain is 12% and 5.6dBi.
