In this paper, we propose a dual-spiral line loaded monopole antenna having a vertical ground plane for quadband applications. The antenna occupies a volume of $38{\times}12{\times}7\;mm^3$ with a $40{\times}92\;mm^2$ ground plane. The measured impedance bandwidths of the antenna based on $VSWR{\le}2$ are approximately of 11.7 % and 24.8 % in the first and second frequency band, respectively. The operating frequency can simultaneously cover Cellular($0.824{\sim}0.894\;GHz$), PCS($1.750{\sim}1.870\;MHz$), UMTS($1.920{\sim}2.170\;MHz$), and IMT-2000($1.885{\sim}2.200\;GHz$) bands. The maximum gains of the antenna are -0.99 dBi, 4.07 dBi, 2.72 dBi, and 4.33 dBi at the center frequencies of the Cellular, PCS, UMTS, and IMT-2000 bands, respectively. Good radiation patterns are experimentally obtained.

In this paper, we propose a multi-band monopole antenna with a band-notching U-slot, which is fabricated inside the flexible polymide film substrate. The U-shaped slot located on the patch-shaped monopole antenna provides band-notch at 2.7 GHz, but also helps to improve return loss at adjacent frequency bands. The performance of the antenna attached on an automobile-glass has been simulated and measured. The fabricated antenna provides more than 10 dB return loss for ISM band(2.4~2.483 GHz) and WAVE band(5.85~5.925 GHz), 2.8~5.7 dBi maximum gain, and good radiation patterns.

For driver's convenience, the ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) requires a system which determines the direction of vehicles and controls the vehicle to keep the distance among the automobiles constant. This paper describes the microstrip array antennas designed to operate at 24 GHz, and used as a direction indicator of moving vehicles. 8${\times}$2 transmit array antenna with wide beamwidth, 8${\times}$4 receive center array antenna, and two 8${\times}$8 receive array antennas with narrow beamwidth were designed and fabricated. Measurement results for the arrays showed that the azimuthal beamwidth is 50$^{\circ}$and the gain is 16.7 dBi for the transmit array antenna. For the receive array antenna, the center, the left, and the right array antenna have beamwidths of 20$^{\circ}$, 13$^{\circ}$, 13$^{\circ}$respectively, and have gains of more than 20 dBi. The left and right array antenna have the beam tilt angle of ${\pm}$18$^{\circ}$. The measured radiation patterns showed a good agreement with the simulated patterns, and the designed array antennas are suitable fur detecting 3 directions of the vehicle within the scan angle area.

A technique to expand the operating impedance bandwidth of a microstrip patch antenna is presented. The antenna is fed by a truncated T-shaped microstrip line on the ground plane with the rectangular slot. The proposed microstrip patch antenna offers wide bandwidth characteristics with the rectangular slot which has optimized size and position on the ground plane. The simulation result shows a fractional bandwidth of 127.8 %(0.65 to 2.95 GHz) at VSWR 2:1.

In this paper, a novel diversity and directivity mode-switchable planar antenna array is proposed. For the diversity mode, four elements are unfolded on the plane and high isolation can be achieved. On the other hand, the antenna function is changed to the directivity mode when they are folded and stacked. Each element works such as a stacked Yagi-Uda antenna with high directivity. Especially, the curved feed line as well as the hybrid feeding method is used to improve performances. The simulation results agree well with measurement results and it is successfully demonstrated that two modes are properly working at 2.4 GHz.

In this paper, we propose a new Mushroom-like PBG concepts for designing with forbidden frequency band-gap at low frequency. These design rules are based on enhancing the capacitance per unit area using modified top-patch of mushroom PBG with no increase on the overall thickness of the substrate board. Also, in this paper, a new approach to suppress the surface wave from antenna is proposed by embedding compact mushroom PBG in the substrate. Comparisons between the results from a conventional patch antenna to a patch antenna on a PBG substrate show that the reduction in the surface wave level is remarkable. This can be observed in the radiation pattern and the maximum gain. The maximum gain for reference patch antenna is $6.43dB{\imath}$ at 5.37 GHz, while the maximum gain for the patch antenna with normal mushroom and vane mushroom PBG is $7.24dB{\imath}\;and\;7.53dB{\imath}$at 5.14 GHz. The back radiation is also considerably reduced; this will lead, of course, to an increase in the antenna efficiency.
