전 세계적으로 환경에 대한 인식이 증대됨에 따라 친환경적인 소재의 개발 연구가 필요한 상황이고, 대표적으로 셀룰로오스를 이용한 종이기판을 활용하는 방안이 새로운 연구화두로 떠오르고 있다. 종이를 기본으로 한 전기전자 회로구성의 가능성을 보기위해 종이 위해 전자회로 구성요소를 형성시켜야 할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구팀은 상용 복사 용지위에 마이크로 단위의 패터닝을 구현하는 연구를 진행하였다. 마이크로 패터닝 구현 방법은 다음과 3가지로 요약할 수 있다;1. 리소그래피 공정, 2. 메탈마크스를 사용한 물질 증착, 3. 잉크젯 프린팅. 리소그래피 공정을 위해서 발수처리를 한 종이 위에 실리콘기반 공정과 마찬가지로 레지스트를 코팅하고 노광과 디벨롭, 증착과 리프트오프 과정을 거쳤다. 공정 결과 패터닝이 어느 정도 잘 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 두번째로 상용 메탈마스크를 제작하여 종이 위에 그대로 증착하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이 방법은 액상공정을 요구하지 않기 때문에 발수처리가 필요하지 않고 종이의 기본성질을 그대로 유지 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 마지막으로 잉크젯 프린팅 공정은 복사용지를 인쇄할 때 사용하는 간단한 상용프린터를 이용하였다. 이 방법은 앞의 두 공정보다는 다소 패턴 사이즈가 크다는 단점이 있지만 원하는 모양을 자유롭게 패터닝 할 수 있고 그만큼 대량 생산에 용이하다는 장점이 있다.

Notch Antenna is a travelling wave type antenna and can provide multioctave operation in phased arrays that scan over wide angle. In this paper, we designed a wideband E-plane phased array antenna using E-plane waveguide simulator which has a bandwidth of 3 : 1 and a scan volume of $\pm$45$^{\circ}$ in E-plane. We compared impedance of single antenna and infinite array antenna using equivalent circuit modeling. We analyzed full structure of 1$\times$9 phased array antenna and we evaluated active reflection coefficient with variation of beam scan angle through mutual coupling coefficient acquired from simulation and investigated the variation of antenna gain with variation of active element pattern as beam scan angle is varied.

In this paper, the characteristics of inset fed microstrip antenna loaded with CSLR(complementary single loop resonator) are studied. Effective permeability parameters of the SLR unit cell is retrieved from simulated scattering parameters, and structure parameters of the SLR unit cell are selected so that effective permeability is negative value at the operating frequency. The optimized inset fed microstrip antenna loaded with SLR for a $3{\times}3$ array in the ground plane of a conventional patch antenna is designed and simulation results of return loss and radiation pattern are shown. At resonant frequency 2.82 GHz, the overall dimension of the proposed antenna is reduced by approximately 56.8% compared to the conventional inset fed antenna. Simulation results are obtained by 3D FEM solver(Ansoft's HFSS).

In this paper, we designed a multiband monopole antenna for next-generation WLAN system. In conventional WLAN system, UWB antennas were used together, and, because the radiation occurs in different parts depending on the antenna structure, it has the disadvantage of having an unstable impulse response characteristic due to dispersion characteristics. Although a UWB antenna that has suitable radiation pattern for WLAN band, it does not have good impedance matching and has severe echo. Therefore, in this paper, a monopole antenna was designed by using CPW power feed so that various impedances can be easily implemented when designing an antenna and more parameters can be derived that can be used for design for optimal performance.

In this paper, we examined the operating principle of a passive tag antenna for RFID system in UHF band. Based on the study, we proposed a novel RFID tag antenna which adopts the inductively coupled feeding structure to match antenna impedance to a capacitively loaded commercial tag chip. The proposed tag antenna consists of microstrip lines on a thin PET substrate for low-cost fabrication. The detail structure of the tag antenna were optimized using a full electromagnetic wave simulator of IE3D in conjunction with a Pareto genetic algorithm, and the size of the tag antenna can be reduced up to kr=0.27(2 cm2). We built some sample antennas and measured the antenna characteristics such as a return loss, an efficiency, and radiation patterns. The readable range of the tag antenna with a commercial RFID system showed about 1 to 3 m.

In this paper, a thin-straight monopole antenna attached to a conducting box is analyzed using a moment method with the pocklington integral expression for the exact Green's function. A modeling of a conducting box is based on a Wire-Grid method for an efficient calculation procedure. A system of linear equation is obtained using the piecewise sinusoidal basis function. And a Junction basis function is enforcing to represent the physical current on the edge of the conducting box. Especially, the junction basis functions are overlapped for the current continuity preserving on the vertexes. Numerical results are obtained for the current distribution on the unified antenna/conducting box system, input impedance and radiation pattern. The results are compared with the known data.

In this paper, we designed and implemented the dual band monopole antenna for cellular CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) and IMT-2000(International Mobile Telecommunication 2000) repeater. The antenna was designed by using 3D simulations program, HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). Electrical characteristics were measured by using HP 8720C network analyzer and measured maximum S$\_$11/ was -10.9 dB for all frequency bands of interests in Cellular CDMA and IMT-2000. Simulation results for antenna gain at 859 MHz and 2027.5 MHz were 2.38 dBi and 4.02 dBi respectively with omni directional radiation pattern. The size of implemented antenna is compact and the antenna can be produced in low cost enough for commercialization.

Theorectical and experimental studies of On-Glass antenna in the 1.9GHz bandare performed. In this paper, the structure of designed On-Glass antenna consists of a 5/8-wavelength upper segment and quarter-wavelength lower segment separated by phasing coil. On-Glass antenna may be resonated by the use of suitably spaced phasing coil in series with the antenna wire. This tuning structure leads to an improvement in antenna efficiency. And then, this can be very useful for installation where limited space like automobil is available. The analytical method is based on collocation method with pulse function. The results obtained from numerical method are presented and compared with an experimental evaluation. From this, the VSWR, gain, radiation pattern, and bandwidth of the On-Glass antenna are analyzed.

In this paper, a THz Yagi-Uda antenna with high input impedance is designed. By placing the antenna on a thin substrate, end-fire radiation patterns with high antenna impedance can be obtained even when the substrate has high relative dielectric constant. The proposed Yagi-Uda antenna has high input resistance of approximately $4,400{\Omega}$ at the resonance frequency which is obtained by using a U-shaped dipole as a driver element. It is expected that the Yagi-Uda antenna on a thin substrate can achieve much higher terahertz output power than the conventional THz antennas.

The proposed print antenna using Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method is analyzed in this paper. A low radiation resistance and an ultra-wide band of this antenna are also presented. The propagation process of the reflected wave and the electric field distribution in the time domain are calculated in respectively. The antenna parameters are optimized for the maximum band width, return loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain using Fourier transforming. The experimental bandwidth of the antenna is 1.85GHz~6.35GHz for the VSWR less than or equal to 2.0. The measured results are relatively in good agreement with the FDTD results. The proposed antenna can be applied to various applications such as UWB, broadcasting-network system.
