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 and fabricated on a ground plane with small size of $119mm{\times}109mm$ for application of compact transceivers. The fabricated antenna on an FR4 substrate shows that the minimum measured return loss is below -11.68dB at 824 MHz and an impedance band of 818~919 MHz(11.7%) at 10dB return loss level. The measured radiation patterns are similar to those of a conventional patch antenna with maximum gain of 2.11 dBi at 824 MHz.

In this paper, a single-feed equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners is used for achieving diverse radiation polarization. The proposed antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is place parallel to an oblique side of the equilateral-triangular patch. Depending on whether the three identically-sized comers of the triangular patch are cut or not, the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna shows linear polarization(LP) or left-hand circular polarization(LHCP) or Tight-hand circular polarization(RHCP). Based on the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners, a novel reconfigurable microstrip antenna with switchable polarization sense is also proposed. The proposed reconfigurable antenna has a simple structure, consisting of a corner-truncated triangular patch, a small triangular conductor, and a microstrip line. Using a biased PIN diode between the patch and the small triangular conductor, it can produce LP or RHCP according to bias voltages. From the measured results, low cross polarization level when operated in the linear state and good axial ratio in the circular state are observed.

A microstrip patch antenna with circular polarization based on the Sierpinski fractal geometry is proposed. The Sierpinski fractal is composed of 3 equilaterial triangular patch and is easy to produce a circular polarization by sequentially rotation techniques. The characteristics of a 1x3 antenna array from Sierpinski geometry are investigated, i.e. port isolation and AR(axial Ratio).

In spite of the advantages of lightweight, low profile, and mass productions, microstrip array antenna has inherently the scan blindness problems in case of wide angle scan. And this scan blindness can be overcome by using cavity-backed microstrip radiator. In this paper, we presented the algorithm of analyzing skewed cavity-backed microstrip array and verified the validity of the proposed numerical results with those of reference papers. Finally, we show the effect of cavity-backed and skewed grid array structure.

Triangular patches have been studied, both theoretically and experimentally. We feund that provided radiation characteristics similar to those of rectangular patches, but with smaller size. In this paper, we designed an equilateral triangular microstrip patch antenna using cavity model analysis. Then, in order to improve narrow bandwidth, we add capacitive gap and air gap. Capacitive gap is located with square shape beside feeding point on the patch, and air gap is inserted between substrate dielectric and ground plane to adjust probe inductance. The analysis of characteristics and effects of each component was performed by commercial simulation tool, Ensemble 5.0. Throughout the simulation and experiment, we found the possibility of bandwidth enhancement in triangular microstrip antenna.

In this paper, design of a microstrip-fed, Spidron fractal-shaped slot antenna with circular polarization is represented. The ground plane of the designed antenna has a slot that comprises seven right-angled triangle next to each other in a low. A reflector is placed at the bottom on microstrip feeding line to enhance the antenna gain. The optimized design was conducted by varying a length of the first right-angled triangle, location of feeding line, space between a substrate and a reflector. The proposed antenna was fabricated on a Taconic-RF35 substrate. The entire dimension of the fabricated antenna is $40{\times}40{\times}18.6mm^3$ and the reflector is 18.6 mm away from the ground plane. The measured gain of the fabricated antenna is 6.7 dBi at 4.3 GHz. The measured bandwidths of -10 dB reflection and 3 dB axial ratio are 41 % and 7.4 %, respectively.

본 논문에서는 전력증폭기를 슬롯이 적재된 삼각형 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나와 동일 평면의 기판에 집적화하여 전력증폭기 출력단의 제 3 고조파 튜닝을 안테나가 수행함으로써 전력효율을 향상시키는 효과에 대해 고찰하였다. 또한 실제 집적화에 따른 송\ulcorner수신 신호의 분리 문제를 위해 이중공진 특성을 이용한 inset 마이크로스트립 급전과 coax 급전의 이중급전 방식을 사용하였고, 이에 따라 두 ports 사이에 높은 격리 특성을 갖도록 능동 집적 안테나를 설계하였다. 선형성을 증대시키기 위해 제 3 고조파 튜닝 효과를 갖도록 안테나에 슬롯을 적재시켜 제 3 고조파에서 방사를 억제 구조를 갖게 함으로써 고조파 튜닝회로를 축소시킨 능동 집적 안테나를 설계, 제작하여 측정한 결과, B급 전력증폭기와 안테나를 각각 제작하여 결합한 형태보다 약 5%의 전력 효율 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 능동 집적 안테나의 큰 문제점이었던 송\ulcorner수신 분리에 대하여서도, IMT-2000 주파수 대역의 수신 port에서 송신 주파수의 신호를 -35dB 이하로 격리시키는 특성을 나타냄을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The fractal expanded antenna with the configuration of a triangular microstrip patch antenna is presented and analyzed. In the fundamental and higher mode of TFA(Triangular Fractal Antenna), resonant frequencies are controlled by changing the scaling factor. It is observed that increasing scaling factor makes the resonant frequency be spread, and decreasing scaling factor makes it be concentrated. The scaling factor is varied as the expansion and concentration of resonant frequencies. The resonant frequency in each fractal patch element is observed log -periodically. The TFA can be applied to the multiband system.
