This paper is for multi-frequency thin film loop antenna used on smart phone, PMP and PDA like as a multi-media devices. We developed a loop pattern folding methods to reduce a thin film antenna dimension using that mutual coupling folding loop occurs the higher frequency resonation. To reduce the thin film size for loop antenna, we fold the loop pattern repeatedly control the coupling coefficient than generate a not only higher mode resonation but also basic resonation from loop pattern. To realization the thin film folded loop antenna, we used a $30mm{\times}9mm$ PI film the thickness is 20um so that we realize the CDMA850, GPS, DCS, PCS, WCDMA antenna simultaneously and it's radiation efficiency is over 50% and gain is 0dBi.

Massive MIMO communication system with huge antennas has been attracting intensive attention as one of key technologies to increase the spectral efficiency. Many previous studies investigated single user Massive MIMO scheme in cellular downlink. Recently, however, intensive researches on multiuser-based Massive MIMO are performed to overcome the problem caused by the limited number of antennas in mobile stations. Although the Massive MIMO scheme based on huge number of antennas inevitably causes hardware and computational complexity in baseband and radio frequency (RF) elements, the problem can be mitigated without serious performance degradation by limiting the number of baseband and RF elements below the number of transmit antennas of base station and opportunistically selecting transmit antennas according to channel states, where the number of selected antennas corresponds to the number of baseband and RF elements in base station. Accordingly, this paper proposes a simple antenna selection scheme for multiuser-based Massive MIMO systems. Our simulation results indicate that the proposed antenna selection scheme can achieve comparable performance to the conventional scheme without antenna selection.

In this paper, it is studied that the design method for the planar quasi-Yagi antenna suitable for the operation over 5-10GHz band. Yagi antenna is fed by a short-ended microstrip line and matched by a Balun circuit embedded within the antenna. The results for the characteristics of the Yagi antenna fabricated on the FR4 substrate (${\epsilon}_r$= 4.4, h=0.8mm) agreed well with those predicted by computer simulations.

In this paper, we investigated the aptness of embroidered textile dipole antenna as a wearable antenna. We designed an 2.45GHz ISM band embroidered textile dipole antenna on polyester textile. We investigated its characteristics depends on 3 variables, thickness of textile(ttextile), distance between textile and surface of body(gbody) and conductance of surface of body(𝜎body). Thickness of textile(ttextile) was affecting on the antenna resonance frequency(fo). As the conductance of surface of body(𝜎body) was increased the antenna resonance frequency(fo) and the antenna gain were increased slightly. The increment of the distance between textile and surface of body(gbody) caused relatively large increment of the antenna resonance frequency(fo) and the antenna gain. From the results, in the case of designing an embroidered textile dipole antenna as a wearable antenna we should consider carefully the two variables, distance between textile and surface of body(gbody) and thickness of textile(ttextile). Due to its large variation, the distance between textile and surface of body(gbody) may be a technical barrier in designing embroidered textile dipole antenna.

We proposed the beam tilted antenna by aperture coupled microstrip array, found out the values of design parameters by using Ensemble 5.1 of Ansoft Co., and analysed the performance of fabricated antenna. In order to point to the fixed satellite on the nothern hemisphere, 3 dB beamwidth of this antenna is 25$^{\circ}C$ to 65$^{\circ}C$. Operation bandwidth is 2.51GHz to 2.59GHz. The structure of this antenna is composed by 3 types of squared patches; reflector, driver, and director. The maximum antenna gain is 6.2dB at 2.56GHz and elevation angle of 42$^{\circ}C$. Front-to-Back ratio is more than 13dB at the same condition.

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.

This study is a study that designed in-building antennas with improved orientation to improve 5G quality in buildings as 5G is stabilized and more and more traffic is expected to occur in buildings. Instead of applying the forward arrangement of antenna elements, which is the Yagi antenna propagation orientation principle, the antenna design method of vertical arrangement applied to the base station antenna was proposed, and it was confirmed through experiments that antenna orientation increased. According to the experimental results, the directivity did not increase significantly within 10m of the separation distance from the antenna, but the directivity increased by about 3dB at the distance separated by more than 10m. Considering that the wireless environment in the building has various variables such as structure of internal structure, materials such as concrete and glass, closed space, and walls, it is expected that antenna with improved orientation can expand the scope of 5G quality improvement and maintain stable communication service in the building.

Radiation efficiency and antenna gain, in this paper, can be increased by the slot on EMI shield painted on the mobile phone back cover. When the EMI slot which has proper dimension and location is located on the EMI paining area in the phone, the increment of antenna current density due to mutual coupling between the antenna and slot derives increment of antenna efficiency. For the verification of EMI slot effect, we apply the EMI slot to the mobile phone which is operating on GSM/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA quad band, and measure $S_{11}$ and antenna efficiency. It's shown that resonant frequency is not changed and radiation efficiencies to frequency channels by EMI slot are increased from 0.21 % to 8.96 %.
