In this paper, we analyzed a two-branch polarization diversity at a mobile station in NLOS environment when a base station transmits a circularly polarized wave. In order to calculate the correlation coefficient considering the XPD(cross polarization discrimination) between the received signals for the two diversity branches, a simple theoretical model of circular polarization diversity is adopted. From the analysis results, it can be seen that the XPD of circularly polarized wave is less than vertically polarized wave about 6~7 dB in measurement results. And also, it is clearly seen that the correlation coefficient of circular polarization diversity evaluated by the XPD is less than that of vertical polarization diversity.

This paper deals with a coaxial-to-waveguide transition generating circularly polarized wave to be connected with horn antennas. By combining vertical coaxial fed structure, back-short and the polarization twisting structure, the circular polarization is successfully generated in the waveguide. The designed and implemented transition shows that the present structure can significantly reduce the size of the antenna part at X-band.

본 논문에서는 3D Ray Tracing 편파특성 예측 시뮬레이터를 개발하고 초고속 옥내 무선환경에서의 원형편파 우수성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 제안된 3D Ray Tracing 기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과 기수회의 반사파가 수신기에서 수신되지 않는 원형판파의 특성 때문에 다중경로 페이딩을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 옥내 가시거리(LOS) 및 비가시거리(NLOS) 환경에서의 원형편파를 이용한 페이딩 경감효과는 수직 및 수평견파나 편파다이버시티보다 우수함을 알 수 있었고, DS-CDMA 시스템을 이용한 경우에 있어서도 원형편파가 보다 우수한 BER 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

A new type of circularly polarized(CP) antenna that is characterized by having both low-profile and greater axial-ratio bandwidth(ARBW) beyond existing antennas is introduced through analysis of artificial magnetic conductor(AMC) polarizer, and experimentally demonstrated. Although it is made use of a linear-polarized dipole antenna with close proximity to ground plane, it is backed by AMC polarizer so as to efficiently radiate with circularly changed polarization whose ARBW is determined by the texture geometry, whereas existing antennas exhibit CP surface-current on radiators, which limit ARBW. The mechanism of the polarization conversion is theoretically analyzed for ARBW, and the experimental properties including the impedance matching, CP radiation pattern, axial-ratio pattern, ARBW, and two-port isolation are discussed.

In this paper, a circular microstrip patch antenna for switchable polarization is presented. For the switchable polarization, pairs of tuning stubs and two PIN diodes are utilized. By independently setting the PIN diodes on or off, the antenna produces either linear polarization or circular polarization. From the results, the -10 dB impedance bandwidths of 57.0 MHz($2.4\%$) and 50.0 MHz($2.1\%$) when operated in the linear polarization, and the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of $1.3\%$ with minimum of 0.2 and 0.9 dB in the circular polarization have been observed.

This paper describes a compact microstrip antenna with dual polarization characteristics. The antenna, receiving both a left-hand circularly polarized(LHCP) wave and a right-hand circularly polarized(RHCP) wave, can be used for a polarization diversity. A diamond-shaped patch with internal empty room is designed for impedance matching as well as size reduction. And slots are added around feeding point to improve input matching. The proposed antenna has been applied to GPS(global positioning system), operating at 1.57GHz. And, the proposed idea has been verified and estimated by simulation. The measurement results show that it has VSWR 2:1 bandwidth of 83MHz, 3dB axial bandwidth of about 58MHz, 3dB beamwidth of 90degree, and gain of 0dBi, respectively, for RHCP. Also, it has similar performances for LHCP.

In this paper, the omnidirectional circularly polarized(CP) antenna using arc-shaped mushroom structure with curved branch is proposed. To obtain a vertical polarization and an omnidirectional radiation pattern, the CP antenna uses zeroth-order resonance(ZOR) mode of composite right and left handed(CRLH) transmission line. The horizontal polarization is achieved by the curved branches. Also, the spacing between curved branch and arc-shaped mushroom structure gives the $90^{\circ}$ phase difference between vortical and horizontal polarization. The proposed antenna, therefore, has an omnidirectional CP radiation pattern In the azimuthal plane. The electrical size of the proposed antenna is reduced by 38%, compared with that of the previously presented omnidirectional CP antenna. In addition, the CP antenna is simply designed without $90^{\circ}$ phase shifter and dual feed line. The proposed antenna uses a Bazooka balun for good impedance matching and radiation pattern. To improve 3 dB axial ratio in XY plane, the designed antenna is optimized. After optimization, the measured 3 dB axial ratio in XY plane is observed in $86{\sim}282^{\circ}$.
