This paper analyzes the correlations between the impedance matching of the antenna and the radiation characteristics of the mobile handset body. Using two kinds of mobile handset which has retractable and fixed antenna the impedance and radiation pattern is measured under totally 16 conditions. By measured results, it has been identified that the radiation energy into human head can be reduced by attaining the better impedance matching when the radiation pattern out of the mobile handset is like the ideal monopole antenna.

The wideband characteristics of planar antennas with a wide radiating slot have been examined in this paper. A various resonance modes are generated in the wide slot and the wideband characteristics are enhanced by impedance match at each resonance frequencies. In this process, the geometry effects on the impedance match were extracted and it was found that a round corner rectangular slot antenna has more stable impedance match over a wide frequency range than a normal rectangular slot antenna. The round corner rectangular slot antenna is fabricated to verify the wideband characteristics and its measured bandwidth is almost 2 octaves(2.08 ㎓~8.25 ㎓) with VSWR$\leq$2.

In this paper, parasitic patches gap-coupled microstrip antenna and stacked microstrip patch antenna combined with parallel coupled lines, which are a kind of wideband impedance matching network, are proposed to get the wider bandwidth. The iterative method using a distributed network is proposed to design the parallel coupled lines as a wideband impedance matching network. Measurements show that the proposed antennas provide wider bandwidths ~1.6 times and ~1.5 times those of conventional parasitic gap-coupled microstrip patch antenna and stacked microstrip patch antenna. In addition, measured radiation patterns show no serious variation of radiation patterns though the parallel coupled lines is added. The antenna gain is, however, lowered about 1 dB and 0.5 dB by the coupling loss in the parallel coupled lines.

This paper presents the analysis of the impedance characteristic of the strip type waveguide mount backed by the dielectric substrate using mode the matching and induced EMF method. The part of the waveguide containing the dielectric substrate is modeled as waveguide partially filled with the dielectric, and a hybrid mode analysis has been conducted for the structure. The electromagnetic scattering problem by the dielectric substrate is solved by the mode matching method using the calculated modal function. The input impedance seen at the mount gap is calculated by the induced EMF method using the calculated results. the calculated results thus obtained has been verified through comparison with the results by other numerical methods. The effect of some structure parameters such as the width of the substrate and the gap size on the mount impedance is investigated.

In this paper, we design a UHF band RFID tag antenna which is conjugate matched to an impedance of a chip and also mountable on conductive materials. The proposed tag antenna is very compact($50{\times}30{\times}4mm$) with a modified PIFA shape. The proposed tag antenna has an advantage of easy matching to various chip input impedances. The performance of the antenna is evaluated by monitoring RCS in the reader direction. The RCS of the designed tag is $-10.2\;dBm^2$ when the chip is shorted and is $-21\;dBm^2$ when the chip impedance is a complex conjugate of the antenna impedance.

This paper presents the complex antenna factor of a top-hat EMI monopole antenna for measuring time domain electromagnetic fields. The approach is facilitated by adding a artificial parallel ground plane above the monopole antenna. This allows use of cylindrical harmonic field expansions in each of three subregions enclosed by the two ground plane. The results show that the complex antenna factor of the top-hat monopole antenna does not diverge at low frequencies. When compared with a monopole antenna, the top-hat monopole antenna has broadband characteristics. In order to verify the availability of the mode-matching method, the input impedance of the antenna were compared with experiments.

In this paper, we propose VATL(Voltage-controlled Artificial Transmission Line) employing periodically loaded diodes for application to on-chip matching components on MMIC. Compared with conventional microstrip line, the VATL showed a much shorter wave length due to periodic capacitance of diodes, and the characteristic impedance of the VATL was easily controlled bγ changing supplied voltage. Concretely, the characteristic impedance of the VATL was changed from $80{\sim}20{\Omega}$ in a range of $0{\sim}1.05V$ and the VATL showed a wavelength of 1.5mm at 20GHz, while conventional microstrip line showed a wavelength of 5.3mm at the same frequency. Using the VATL, a ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer was fabricated on GaAs MMIC for application to on-chip matching components on MMIC. Using the ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer made it possible to perform impedance matching between RF components with various characteristic impedance of $30{\sim}100{\Omega}$ by adjusting applied Voltage.

We have studied to obtain the SAW filter for the Single Phase Unidirectional Transduce. (SPUDT), was formed on the Langasite substrate and was evaporated by Aluminum-Copper alloy and then we performed computer-simulated by simulator. We can fabricate that the block weighted type IDT as an input transducer of the filter and the withdrawal weighted type IDT as an output transducer of the filter from the results of our computer-simulations. Also, we have performed to obtain the properly conditions about impedance matching of the SAW filter for SPUDT. We have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 50 pairs and the thickness and the width of reflector are 5000A and $3.6{\mu}m$, respectively. And the width of IDT' fingers is $2.4{\mu}m$, and the space between IDT' finger and reflector is $2.0{\mu}m$. Frequency response of the fabricated SAW filter has the property that the center frequency is about 190MHz and bandwidth at the 3dB is probably 7.7MHz after when we have matched impedance. Also, we could obtain that ripple characteristics is less than 0.4dB and standing wave ratio is probably 1.5 after when we have matched impedance.

With the advent of submarine detection technology using low-frequency active sonar there is a call for a new submarine stealth device that can replace the existing passive anechoic tiles. Proposed in this study is a low-frequency echo reduction technique based on active impedance matching, which employs a tile projector designed to cover a wide area such as the surface of a ship. To judge the feasibility of the active impedance matching technique finite-element simulations of low-frequency echo reduction are performed. Based on the analysis, a tile projector is designed, fabricated, and tested in an acoustic tank for its low-frequency echo reduction performance.

In this paper, electrically small square loop antenna with SRR (Split Ring Resonator) cover structure is built and tested. The proposed antenna has very small size, ka = 0.34 by Chu limit. The experimental result shows that the resonant frequency and impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) are 906MHz and 5.8MHz (901.7 - 907.5MHz), respectively. The proposed antenna is matched and designed by equivalent circuit model. The proposed antenna is fabricated simple structure without additional matching network and printed on a Teflon substrate without ground plane. Therefore, it has advantages of low cost, small size, and light weight and will be applied to wireless communication systems where small antennas are required.
