This paper presents a multi-functional microstrip spital antenna that operates in dual frequency bands. Several types of beam shape can be selected by controlling the phase difference of two spiral arms with the phase shifters located on each feed line. It has a normal beam at the lower frequency band, and four different patterns at the higher frequency band: normal beam, conical beam and two types of tilted beam. The antenna exhibits more than 10% of bandwidth at each band. The antenna is fabricated with conductor backed electromagnetic absorber in order to attain unidirectional radiation pattern and confirmed the multi-functionality by measurements.

This study is about an antenna implemented in the form of a monopole having a hexagonal symmetric pattern by simplifying the modified Hilbert curve fractal monopole structure. The modified Hilbert curve fractal monopole structure was simplified and miniaturized, and the radiator was implemented in a hexagonal symmetrical pattern to improve performance. The dielectric constant of substrate is 4.7, and the total line length with a meander-shaped symmetrical structure is 59 mm. The size of the antenna is 10 mm × 10 mm × 0.8 mm, and the line width is 0.4 mm. The size of the antenna measuring jig is 64 mm × 21 mm × 1 mm. The resonant frequency is 1.57 GHz, and the frequency range is 1.51 to 1.615 GHz. The frequency bandwidth is 105 MHz. As for the antenna gain, the measurement gain of the YZ-plane was 2.32 dBi, and that of the XZ-plane was -1.03 dBi. As a result, we confirmed that antenna miniaturization is possible using a hexagonal symmetric pattern fractal structure. In addition, we confirmed that the antenna performance can be easily improved by changing the structure of the radiator.

In this paper, data transmission corrugated horn antenna for RF sensor satellite system and its radiation characteristic are presented. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated and measured to obtain the maximum gain at ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ of its radiation patterns. The result of the proposed antenna is that the return loss is less than -15 dB and the gain is over 5 dBi at ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ of its radiation patterns. From these results, it is confirmed that the proposed can be used as data transmission corrugated horn antenna for RF sensor satellite system.

The upper frequency of international EMC regulations is being expanded above 1 GHz. Radiated emissions above 1 GHz are different from those below 1 GHz that is existing upper regulation frequency, and which have lower field strength and sharper and tilted beam-width, relatively. In this paper, an effective evaluation method to be used above 1 GHz is studied using an offset parabola antenna system having a double-ridged horn antenna as a feed. First, simple model is proposed for calculating antenna factor and field uniformity of the parabola antenna system, and then real radiated emission and radiated susceptibility measurements are performed using a constant noise emitter and the suggested antenna system. The results show that the proposed antenna system has higher gain and power efficiency, and wider field uniformity relative to a conventional double-ridged horn antenna. Therefore, it is confirmed that the proposed system can be effectively used for EMC measurements above 1 GHz.

In this paper, we proposed a rectangular planar monopole antenna with a double sleeve that applied to a half-cut and a discontinuous feed structure. A rectangular planar monopole antenna with a double sleeve was cut in half along the magnetic symmetry line, and impedance matching was achieved by a discontinuous structure was applied to a feeder and by adjusting the double sleeve gap. We used the HFSS simulator of ANSYS company to confirm the antenna parameter property, and the antenna size was $21{\times}40mm^2$. In the proposed antenna, the simulation frequency range with VSWR of 2 or less was 2.6GHz to 10.25GHz. The bandwidth was 7.65GHz. The frequency range of the fabricated antenna was 3.3GHz to 9.75GHz, and the bandwidth was 6.45GHz. The measured radiation pattern frequencies were 3.5GHz, 5.5GHz, 7.5GHz, and 9.5GHz. A radiation pattern similar to the dipole antenna pattern was obtained at all frequencies.

This paper analyzes the correlations between the impedance matching of the antenna and the radiation characteristics of the mobile handset body. Using two kinds of mobile handset which has retractable and fixed antenna the impedance and radiation pattern is measured under totally 16 conditions. By measured results, it has been identified that the radiation energy into human head can be reduced by attaining the better impedance matching when the radiation pattern out of the mobile handset is like the ideal monopole antenna.

A wearable antenna made using conductive tape on paper is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is composed of a half-wavelength conducting dipole strip and a parasitic conducting strip on the A4 copy paper. The antenna is fed at the center of the dipole strip by an SMA connector. The configuration of the proposed antenna changes according to the origami method. Therefore the radiation patterns of the antenna vary according to whether or not the paper is folded. This approach solves the problem that the reception ratio of the signal decreases because of null points in the antenna radiation pattern. The reflection coefficient and the radiation pattern of the proposed antenna at 900 MHz are evaluated using an EM simulation and measurements. It was shown that the proposed paper antenna has reconfigurable characteristics at 900 MHz when utilizing the origami method.

This paper is a study on a triangle patch antenna using a rectangle slot and strip conductor. The length and spacing of the slot were adjusted to confirm the characteristics of the triangle patch antenna with rectangle slot, and the area and shape of the radiation patch were changed to triangle, rectangle, and hexagon for impedance matching. The HFSS simulator was used to check the antenna parameter characteristics, and the antenna size was 26 mm ×26 mm. In this proposed antenna, the simulation frequency range with VSWR of 2 or less was 5.27 to 6.24 GHz. The bandwidth was 970 MHz. The frequency range of the fabricated antenna was 5.24 to 6.38 GHz, and the bandwidth 1140 MHz. The maximum radiation gain is 5.01 dBi. It was confirmed that all radiation patterns had directional characteristics.
