In this paper, circularly polarization patch array antenna of RSE(Road-side Equipment) base station for DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communication) of ITS(Intelligent Transport System) is proposed. The antenna of RSE base station for DSRC is designed to operate circularly polarization to receive reflected signal from multiplex path effectively. The proposed antenna consisted of microstrip patch and feed line, the slit is inserted in the proximity of the slot of feed structure to generate circularly polarization. The $2{\times}2$ array structure is designed to satisfying gain that DSRC RSE base station antenna required. Measured impedance bandwidth and axial-ratio bandwidth are satisfied by all DSRC band of 5.795~5.855 GHz. Vertical and horizontal HPBW of the proposed antenna are both about 43 degrees, it showed gain characteristic of about 11.21 dBi.

In this paper, we propose a new method for a correlative phase comparison direction finding(DF) which detects the arrival direction of radio waves by data fusing the calculated phase difference and the measured phase difference between the antennas when the radio waves are incident on the circular array antenna composed of 7 antennas respectively. The correlation type phase comparison method uses a uniform circular array(UCA) and a linear array method. The phase difference data calculated formally and the phase difference data measured in the test environment are fused with a correlation function, therefore, it is superior to the currently used phase comparison direction detection method. When the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal is 20dB and the inter-antenna distance to the wavelength of the received signal($L/{\lambda}$) is 0.5, the accuracy of the correlative DF is $1.7^{\circ}$ while measurement phase comparison's is larger than $2.5^{\circ}$, It can be used for electromagnetic signal monitoring and military direction detection.

In this paper, a design optimization method for anti-jamming GPS antenna is presented. For this purpose, jamming performance analysis criteria and methods are presented. And based on the proposed analysis method, the antenna design elements that can realize the best performance were optimized. The anti-jamming GPS antenna for applying the presented method has a structure in which 7 radiating elements are arranged. Here, six radiating elements were circular arranged, and one element was arranged in the center of the circular arrangement. The optimized antenna design parameter(radius of the circular array) is 0.48 λ. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that when the steering angle(theta, phi) of the main lobe was (0°, 0°), the pattern null steering range(based on theta) was 57° to 90°.

This paper describes the basic design and fabrication of smart skin antenna for phased array applications. The smart skin phased array antenna, of which radiation pattern can be electrically steerable without mechanical rotation, has to meet the both mechanical and electrical performance. The smart skin antenna is a honeycomb sandwich structure to enhance the mechanical performance such as strength, weight and so on. The example of smart skin antenna integrated with radome is designed with the resonant frequency of 5 GHz, circular polarization, 2 by 2 subarray, and a coaxial probe-fed excitation. In addition, the performance of raw microstrip patch antenna uncovered radome is investigate. The fabricated smart skin antenna shows a reasonable performance with gain of 12.2 dBi and frequency bandwidth of 6.4 %.

This paper describes the pattern synthesis method of two kinds of conformal array antenna using the Enhanced Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (EAGA). One is the $1{\times}16$ conformal array antenna on a curved cylindrical metallic surface with quadratic function, and the other is the 18-element conformal arrary antenna on a metallic surface obtained by the rotation of a quadratic function curve around the axis. The active element pattern is utilized in the pattern synthesis. Especially for the case of the rotated-type conformal array antenna the transformed active element pattern obtained from the Euler's angle rotation of the active element pattern of the planar concentric array is utilized, which reduces the synthesis time a lot. To verify the validity of the proposed synthesis method the MATLAB results are compared with the MWS results. Furthermore, for the case of $1{\times}16$ conformal array antenna the measured results are compared with the MATLAB synthesized results.

In this paper, a new MDAS-DR antenna structure designed to efficiently shape a flat-topped radiation pattern is proposed. The antenna structure is composed of a stacked micro-strip patch exciter and a multi-layered disk array structure(MDAS) surrounded by a dielectric ring. The MDAS, which was supplied by a stacked microstrip patch exciter with radiating power, can form a flat-topped radiation pattern in a far field by a mutual interaction with the surrounding dielectric ring. Therefore, the design parameters of the dielectric ring and the MDAS structure are important design parameters for shaping a flat-topped radiation pattern. The proposed antenna used twelve multi-layered disk array elements and a Teflon material with a dielectric constant of 2.05. An antenna operated at 10 GHz$(9.6\sim10.4\;GHz)$ was designed in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed antenna structure. The commercial simulator of CST Microwave $Studio^{TM}$, which was adapted to a 3-D antenna structure analysis, was used for the simulation. The antenna breadboard was also fabricated and its electrical performance was measured in an anechoic antenna chamber. The measured results of the antenna breadboard with a flat-topped radiation pattern were found to be in good agreement with the simulated one. The MDAS-DR antenna gain measured at 10 GHz was 11.18 dBi, and the MDAS-DR antenna was capable of shaping a good flat-topped radiation pattern with a beam-width of about $40^{\circ}$, at least within a fractional bandwidth of 8.0 %.

In this paper, we propose a resolution enhancement method for estimating direction-of-arrival (DOA) of narrowband incoherent signals incident on a general array. The resolution of DOA algorithm is dependent on the aperture size of antenna array. But it is very impractical to increase the physical size of antenna array in real environment. Therefore we propose the method that increases the aperture size by virtually expanding the sensor spacing of original antenna array and then construct the steering matrix of the virtual array using the proper transformation matrix. Superior resolution capabilities achieved with this method are shown by simulation results in comparison with the standard MUSIC for incoherent signals incident on a uniform circular array.
