In this paper, We proposed a rectangular slot antenna with CPW feeder. Slot antennas fed by CPW are attractive due to the simple fabrication simplicity and ease of integration with active devices. This antenna consists of two parts, inner patch and outer patch to realize wide-band antenna by multi-frequency. Also, We fabricated a proposed rectangular slot antenna, confirm characteristics of multi-frequency by tuning antenna parameters, inner antenna's location and size. The experimental results show that each resonant frequency of a fabricated antenna is measured at almost 1, 9GHz, 2.8GHz, 3, 5GHz, 4, 9GHz. In radiation patterns each resonant frequency, radiation pattern 4-th resonant frequency is the same ad that of TM11 in patch antenna. Therefore, the experimental and theoretical results shows that a proposal rectangular slot antenna have triple resonant frequencies.

In this paper, to reduce the resonant length of patch, microstrip patch antenna of linear polarization which is suppressed at two radiation edges is designed and fabricated at the frequency of 1.575 GHz. The result is like that the resonant length of patch is 45 mm and the length reduction effect is 43.8 % when it is compared with that(80 mm) of plane type. The gain is 4.4 dBd and -3 dB beamwidths are 112$^{\circ}$ and 66$^{\circ}$ in the E-plane and H-plane, respectively. Also, to reduce the size of patch, microstrip patch antennas those are suppressed at four radiating comers are designed and fabricated at the same frequency in the linear and circular polarization, respectively. For linear polarization, at the 1.2 of width/length(W/L) ratio, the patch area is 53 mm $\times$ 63.6 mm and the size reduction effect is 56.1 % when compared with that(80 mm $\times$ 96 mm) of plane type. The gain is 4.3 dBd and the -3 dB beamwidths are 120$^{\circ}$ and 78$^{\circ}$ in the E-plane and H-plane, respectively. For circular polarization, the patch size(54.2 mm $\times$ 61.5 mm) is reduced by 47.2 % than that(76 mm $\times$ 83 mm) of plane type. -3 dB beamwidth of horizontal polarization in the z-x plane and vortical polarization in the y-z plane are 108$^{\circ}$ and 93$^{\circ}$, respectively and this means the increasement in both planes by 52$^{\circ}$ and 27$^{\circ}$ than those of plane type. The maximum gain is 2.5 dBd in the horizontal polarization in the z-x plane. Axial ratio is 1.5 dB at 1.575 GHz and the 2 dB axial ratio bandwidth(ARBW) is 20 MHz(1.3 %).

Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the radiation characteristics of a microstrip patch antenna is investigated. Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the resonance frequency and bandwidth is very small, while that on the radiation pattern is very large. The gain of front radiation and the direction of the maximum gain vary almost periodically with the length of a square substrate plane. The length of a square substrate plane for the maximum gam and the minimum gain of front radiation decrease as the electrical thickness of a substrate increases. The variation of the gain of front radiation with the length of a square substrate plane increases as the electrical thickness of a substrate increases. The variation of the radiation pattern with the length of a square substrate plane is almost determined by the electrical thickness of a substrate.

In this paper, a design method for a high-sensitivity microstrip patch sensor antenna (MPSA) loaded with a bent-slot was studied for the permittivity measurement. The bent-slot similar to a single-ring complementary split ring resonator was added along a radiating edge of the patch in order to enhance the sensitivity to the permittivity. The sensitivity of the proposed MPSA was compared with that of a conventional rectangular MPSA and a thin rectangular-slotted MPSA. Three MPSAs were designed and fabricated on a 0.76-mm-thick RF-35 substrate so that the input reflection coefficient would resonate at 2.5 GHz in the absence of the superstrate under test. When five different Taconic substrates with a relative permittivity ranging from 2.17 to 10.2 were used as the superstrate under test, experiment results show that the sensitivity of the proposed MPSA, which is measured by the shift in the resonant frequency of the input reflection coefficient, is 4.1 to 6.1 times higher than that of the conventional MPSA.

The effect of substrate size on the radiation characteristics of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna with an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) as unit element is investigated. The distance between the patch center and the substrate edge on the E-plane ($d_E$) and that on the H-plane ($d_H$) at which the maximum broadside gain of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna occurs are the same to those of single ACMPA using a unit element. Besides, $d_E$ and $d_H$ at which the minimum broadside gain of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna occurs are almost the same to those of single ACMPA using a unit element. The edge effect on the radiation characteristics of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna is mainly determined by $d_E$. The optimum substrate size for the radiation characteristics of an H-plane linear array antenna could be obtained from that of single ACMPA using a unit element of an H-plane linear array antenna.

In this paper, microstrip antenna using multi-layer and folded structure for GPS application is presented for aircraft loading. Existing microstrip patch antenna used dielectric of high specific inductive capacity to miniaturize that cause smaller bandwidth and decline of efficiency due to dielectric loss. To compensate the existing flaws, Rogers TMM 10i(dielectric constant=9.8, loss tangent=0.002) is used for multi-layer dielectric miniaturization, and we construct folded radiating element on the surface of the dielectric applying perturbation effect. The antenna is designed in the bandwidth of GPS $L_1$ band, and the size of the antenna's radiating element is $20.3mm{\times}19.93mm$, and it gets 94.2% miniaturized characteristic of basic ${\lambda}/2$ microstrip patch antenna. Also the measured -10 dB bandwidth is 32.3 MHz(2.05%), 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 6.7 MHz(0.43%). Measured radiation patterns was maximum gain of 0.56 dBi at x axis polarization, 1.23 dBi at y axis polarization.

This paper presents the design of a novel integrated T-DMB/GPS/Mobile antenna for vehicular application. The T-DMB antenna is designed with a modified meander-type microstrip patch providing linearly a polarized broadside radiation pattern. The GPS antenna is designed with an inserted slot in the patch antenna providing circularly polarized broadside radiation pattern. The Mobile (GSM, AMPS, DCS, PCS, UMTS, etc.) antenna is designed as a modified G-type patch antenna providing multi-band operation. Experimental results indicate that the impedance bandwidth (VSWR 1:2.5) of the proposed T-DMB /GPS/Mobile antenna satisfactorily matches that of the simulation results. The 2D and 3D radiation patterns and gains according to the results of the experiment are also presented and discussed.

Effects of the dielectric constant and thickness of a feed substrate on the bandwidth and radiation characteristics of an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) are investigated. The optimized return loss bandwidth of an ACMPA increases without the degradation of radiation characteristics as the feed substrate dielectric constant increases for the same feed substrate thickness. The optimized return loss bandwidth of an ACMPA with the dielectric constant of a feed substrate of 10, which is compatible with the high dielectric constant monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) materials, increases without the degradation of radiation characteristics as the thickness of a feed substrate decreases. The ACMPA configuration is suitable for integration with MMICs.
