This paper presents novel compact circularly polarized(CP) operation of a annular ring slot antenna with a 45$^{\circ}$truncated in the patch and a cross-slot of unequal slot lengths. A simple configuration based on a cross-slot of unequal slot lengths on the annular ring patch is adopted to realize a small-size element antenna and used a proximity coupled feed method. Experimental results show that much wider impedance bandwidth of 7.74 % and axial ratio bandwidth of 1.9 % in GPS band(1.5 GHz).

We proposed an eccentric annular ring microstrip slot antenna for improving a narrow bandwidth of the conventional annular ring microstip slot antenna. The proposed antenna has an asymmetric slot and a normal microstrip feedline. This antenna is analyzed and optimized by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The impedance bandwidth of the optimized antenna is more than 1 octave that is much broader than the conventional annular ring microstrip slot antenna for the same size.

본 논문에서는 기존의 원형 링 마이크로스트립 슬롯 안테나에 십자슬롯과 truncated를 통하여 원형편파를 구현할 수 있는 새로운 안테나 구조를 제안하였다. 금전구조는 입력단 설계가 간단하고 정함이 쉬운 전자파 결합방식을 사용하였고, Ansoft HFSS V8.0으로 최적화 한 후 제작 및 측정하였다. 제안된 안테나는 GPS(1.55MHz)대역에서 원형편파(RHCP, LHCP)특성을 만족하고, 각각의 안테나 구조에서 7.74%의 임피던스 대역폭(VSWR$\leq$2)을 갖고 안테나의 방사소자를 소형화하였다. 이는 기존의 월평 링 마이크로스트립 슬롯 안테나의 임피던스 대역폭 및 편파특성을 획기적으로 개선한 것이다.

This paper proposed an eccentric annular ring microstrip antenna which has an asymmetric slot and a tuning stub for improving bandwidth and size of the circular microstrip patch antenna. The field characteristics of the eccentric annular ring microstrip antenna have been calculated by using the method of FDTD (finite difference time domain). The calculated results showed good agreement with the measured results. As a result of measurement, the antenna size and the bandwidth has been improved to that of 12.2 % and 4.8 % respectively, comparing to circular microstrip patch antenna.

In this paper, a dual-band open-ended circular ring moNopole antenna for WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks) applications. The proposed antenna is based on a planar moNopole design, and composed of open-ended one circular ring of radiating patches for dual-band operation. To obtain the optimized parameters, we used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(HFSS) and found the parameters that effect antenna characteristics. Using the obtained parameters, the proposed antenna is fabricated. The fabricated antenna is measured at the operating frequencies(2.4-2.484 GHz, 5.15-5.825 GHz), and the return loss coefficient, gain, and radiation patterns are determined.

The wideband annular ring slot antenna with concentric radiating structure and low impedance feedline has been presented. This antenna has been analyzed in compensation for FR-4 substrate with relative permittivity 4.3 and thickness 1 mm. As the measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 127.2%(2.17∼9.76 GHz), its bandwidth is much broader than maximum 82% bandwidth of a conventional annular ring slot antenna. Experimental results from 2 to 10 GHz are shown to be in good agreement with the simulation. And this antenna has a high gain above 4 dBi from 2 GHz to 10 GHz as well as a 24% size reduction and 42% area reduction than a circular slot antenna.
