In this paper, the characteristics of a inset fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna for S-band applications is studied. The variations of return loss along inset length and inset width are investigated on the inset fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna. From the investigated results, the optimized inset fed antenna is designed. At the resonant frequency 2.3 GHz, the optimized dimension of the patch is $45.0mm{\times}40.9mm$. The inset length and width are 14 mm and 1 mm, respectively. The designed antenna is fabricated on the substrate which has a dielectric constant and thickness with 2.5 and 0.787 mm. Simulation results are obtained by a 3D EM(Electromagnetic) solver. The resonant frequency and return loss are measured 2.3025 GHz and -21.11 dB, respectively. The measured and simulated results of the fabricated antenna are in good agreement.

In this paper, we present, an indstrial RFID layered microstrip patch antenna is designed using an inset feed method in order to improve recognition rates in a long distance as tags are attached to metal object by improving a problem of feeding power in fabricating metal tags and reducing effects of metallic object. The inset feed shows a distinctive characteristic that has no separation between emitters and feed lines differing from a structure with the conventional inductive coupling feed. This structure makes possible to produce a type that presents a low antenna height and enables impedance coupling for tag chips. Although it shows a difficulty in the impedance coupling due to increases in the parasite capacitance between a ground plane and an emitter in an antenna according to decreases in the height of a tag antenna, it may become a merit in designing the tag antenna because the antenna impedance can be determined as an inductive manner if a shorted structure is used for feeding power. Therefore, in this paper the microstrip patch antenna is designed as a modified type and applies the inset feed in order to reduce effects of metallic objects where the antenna is be attached. Also, the antenna uses a multi-layer structure that includes a metal plate between radiator and ground instead of using a single layer.

본 논문에서는 S밴드(2-4 GHz)와 C밴드(4-8 GHz)에서 사용가능한 비동심원 복사구조와 저임피던스 급전구조를 갖는 광대역 원형 링슬롯 안테나를 제안하였다. 본 안테나는 유전율 4.3, 두께 1mm의 기판을 대상으로 해석되었다. 재안된 안테나의 계산된 임피던스 대역폭은 122%(S$_{11}$$\leq$-10 dB)이므로 기존의 원형 링슬롯 안테나보다 훨씬 광대역이다. 또한 주요 설계변수들을 변화시켰을 때 변경되는 안테나의 특성을 연구함으로써 최적화설계에 도움이 되도록 하였다.

The small and wideband annular ring slot antenna with eccentric radiating structure and low impedance feedline is presented. This antenna is analyzed by using substrate with permittivity 4.3 and thickness 1mm. As the measured impedance bandwidth of proposed antenna is $118%(S_{11}{\leq}-10dB)$, its bandwidth is much broader than that of conventional annular ring slot antenna.

In this paper, we propose a modified rhombus slot UWB(Ultra Wide Band) antenna with fork-shaped feeding structure. The proposed antenna is modified rhombus slot structure and fork-shaped feeding structure to get ultra-wideband characteristics for UWB communication.

In order to analyze the effect of a cover layer or radome for an antenna, the moment method is applied to the analysis of the circular microstrip patch antenna with dielectric superstrate fed by coaxial probe. The probe feed is modeled as a attachment mode method which can solve more exact analysis. In case of a ideal probe feed modeling, the probe self-impedance as well as the rapidly-varying patch current at the vicinity of the feed point was neglected. But a rigorous probe feed model which overcomes these deficiencies are developed, and used in the analysis of isolated circular patches. Measurements were performed to validate the numerical results. These are good agreement with each other.

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.

Determination method of optimum feeding point for the PIFA type internal antenna for the mobile phone handset was studied. Fundamental theory is that radiated gain is basically depended upon the electric field strength between PIFA conductor and ground plane. Feeding point, slit configuration, material and structure of carrier are main factors fur the PIFA performances. It is shown that maximum electric field strengths of other feeding points decrease in -2dB to -10 dB than optimum point. Ansoft HFSS EM simulator was applied to determine the best feeding point for 2 models of Samsung Electronics mobile phone handset.
