This paper proposed a method of broadband method of dual polarized dipole antenna for 700 MHz band base station. The proposed antenna has a structure that PCB feeder is mounted on the metallic radiator. The design of radiator and feeder is optimized by using 3D EM simulation. The proposed antenna(bandwidth 31.6 %) is broadened over 12.2 % through the lower frequency band than reference antenna(bandwidth 19.4 %), however the size is not increased. Measured results of S-parameters, radiation patterns, and gain have a good agreement with simulation ones.

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, SIW-based $2{\times}4$ uniform array antenna with a sequentially fed 8-way power divider with an equal division characteristic is proposed for an application of X-band satellite communication. In particular, sequential feeding structures with a progressive phase difference of 90 degrees between the nearest elements have been suggested to protect the cancellation of electric fields due to the array alignments and to enhance the purity of RHCP(Right-Handed Circular Polarization). The obtained results according to the return loss bandwidth, RHCP antenna gain, axial ratio bandwidth are 760 MHz ranging from 7.90 to 8.66 GHz under the criterion of less than -10 dB, 14.3 dBic at 8.3 GHz, and 600 MHz from 8.15 to 8.75 GHz, respectively. In addition, it is observed that the equal-division characteristic of SIW-based 8-way power divider is approximately -9.2 dB in all ports.

In this paper, a novel diversity and directivity mode-switchable planar antenna array is proposed. For the diversity mode, four elements are unfolded on the plane and high isolation can be achieved. On the other hand, the antenna function is changed to the directivity mode when they are folded and stacked. Each element works such as a stacked Yagi-Uda antenna with high directivity. Especially, the curved feed line as well as the hybrid feeding method is used to improve performances. The simulation results agree well with measurement results and it is successfully demonstrated that two modes are properly working at 2.4 GHz.

This paper introduces a novel horn antenna for circular polarization using a planar-type radiator. This antenna can be divided to two parts, microstrip antenna and square horn. The microstrip antenna has the role of feeder and polarizer of the horn antenna, and it is designed to stacked type having metal spacer for high gain, high isolation and wideband characteristic. Using the proposed antenna structure, the horn antenna needs not additional structure such as feeder and polarizer, and the size of it can be considerably reduced. The horn antenna has typical gain of 8dBi and 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth around 4.9%.This antenna can widely used for various antenna system for mobile and satellite communication using circular polarization expecially in high frequency band.

A wideband patch antenna fed by an L-strip feeder is studied. The objective of this paper is to design small wideband antenna for 3G and 4G wireless mobile communication service. The enhanced features were confirmed and proved by comparing the proposed antenna with the antennae that have been reported in the relevant literatures. Measurement results confirm that an impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) of 636MHz(32.5%, fo=1,960MHz) is achieved at 3G and 4G frequency band for L-strip-fed triangular patch antenna. In general, probe feed has only the parasitic reactance caused by the probe, which reduces the bandwidth performance of the antenna. The experimental results proved that the effects of improvement could be achieved because the proposed antenna is capable of compensating the parasitic reactance from the feeding mechanism. The studied antenna can be designed easily for extension of array because it has simple structure.

In this paper, we proposed to a new structure of T-shaped fed microstrip slot antenna using 2-layers dielectric material with a directional radiation characteristic. When the slot antenna of bi-directional radiation want to radiate only one direction, the reflector must be set up, but this antenna does'nt need set up reflector. T-shaped microstrip feed line is proposed for a better impedance matching to the microstrip slot antenna in a various range of slot widths. It was also found that the bandwidth of this antenna is proportional to the slot width. It was also found that the radiation resistance of this feed line structure is quite constant and low regardless to the slot width. We also analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method, and calculating waves and electric field distribution in the time domain. we also are calculated return loss, VSWR, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results, respectively. From the measured results, bandwidth was 34.8% in the center frequency. These results were in relatively good accordance with the calculated values.

The antenna array for receiving satellite broadcasting of Koreasat III is proposed. A cavity-backed slot antenna array is proposed to reduce feed line loss, increase the radiation efficiency, and make the feed network simple. A sub-array consists of $2{\times}4$ slot elements backed by a single cavity. By proper choice of dimensions it is shown that the proposed antenna has characteristics of the high radiation efficiency and the broad frequency bandwidth. Antenna characteristics for the array antenna with 256 elements are measured in Ku-band. A single cavity backed-sub-array has the gain of 18 dEi. The gam of the total antenna array(256 elements) is Over 33 dEi.

In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of the antenna by changing the structure of the radiator and the angle of the branch of the array patch antenna. First, the structure of the radiator was changed from the rectangular patch to a hexagonal patch, a triangular patch. Secondly, we changed the angle of the feeder branch to $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$. When the branch angle is $10^{\circ}$, the measured 10dB frequency band is 23.38 GHz-24.19GHz and the bandwidth is 810MHz. The fabricated antenna has a gain of 9.65-10.06dBi at 24.05 GHz. The beam width of the main lobe is $12^{\circ}$, and the antenna size is $70{\times}36mm^2$. In addition to the rectangular patch, it is possible to maintain the performance by using patches of other shapes, and it is confirmed that by changing the feeder branch at various angles, it is possible to reduce the substrate size and contribute to diversity in the fabrication of the array antenna.

To complement the narrow band characteristics of the microstrip patch antenna, the slot patch antenna was designed for the wide band characteristics. The microstrip slot patch antenna has wide band characteristics when the size of the slots and the feed line shapes are designed accordingly. In this study, various substrates as a epsilon-10, and a epoxy were used to design slot patch antennas. The feed line structure of the circular and square were also designed to have wide band. In the case of slot antennas with the circular patch shapes using epsilon-10 plate 50mm thickness with relative permittivity the 41% bandwidth on the 1.5∼2.28㎓ was shown. When an Epoxy plate 1.Sum thickness with relative permittivity 4.75 is used to construct a circular slot antenna with a square patch form, the frequency band width was obtained 77% as the 1.2∼2.7㎓ frequency range. These results are coincided well with the theoretical results.
