A microstrip circuit with multilayer structure is applied variously in the MMIC. For effective transmission between microstrip lines with different dielectric height, it is need to analyze and to induce accurately the equivalent circuit in 3 dimensional stepped discontinuous microstrip line. In this paper, by using the S parameters obtained by FDTD numerical method and measurement, T equivalent circuit and its element values were induced. And the analyzed and measured results showed good agreement in 1 ∼5 ㎓ range.

In this paper, we develop 3-dimensional FMM using the RWG basis function to simulate the plat-type antenna and reduce the computing time. To examine the efficiency of FMM algorithm, a scattering by a simple PEC plane is analysed and the correct current distribution is obtained. This 3-dimensional FMM is applied to analysis a microstrip antenna and shows good performance.

In this paper, we design a microstrip patch antenna using 3-dimensional microstrip transition with the VSWR 1.3 over the PCS band (1.75 -1.87 GHz). We study experimentally the effect of the antenna parameters on antenna input impedance. And using the proposed antenna, we fabricate a polarization diversity any antenna and discuss the possibility of antenna for PCS base station.

In this paper, the design of a dual-polarization rectangular microstrip patch antenna with high isolation between two feeding ports excited by using both an aperture-coupled feed (port 1) and a 3-dimensional microstrip feed (port 2) is presented. From the simulation using the commercial program IE3D, the optimum values of the antenna parameters are investigated at both two feed structures and the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. Experimental results confirmed that an bandwidth of the antenna is about 17 % and the isolation of two ports is great than 30 dB over all frequency bands.

In this paper, the 3-dimensional microstrip antenna, where the lis is attached near the patch, on the pound and both patch and ground in zigzag, is designed and fabricated to miniaturize size of antenna. The path of surface current and permittivity in patch are increased because of attached Iris near the patch, on the pound and patch and found. In particula., the maximum size reduction effect among the three-type of $79.1\%$(17 mm$\times$90 mm) was presented in zigzag-type compared with the rectangular microstrip patch antenna(MPA) with a height of 9 mm at the resonant frequency of 1.575 GHz. The gain showed -1.15 dBd, -10 dB bandwidth showed 6.2$\%$(98 MHz), and HPBW of E-plane showed $154^{\circ}$. As that result we could confirm that the 3-dimensional structure with attached Irises is the proper form for the miniaturization of microstrip antenna.

In this paper, the miniaturization of linear polarization microstrip patch antenna is studied by attached Irises near the square linear polarization microstrip patch antenna which are induced the increase of current path. Microstrip patch antenna having the Irises is designed and fabricated at the resonant frequency of 1.575 GHz. The result is like that the resonant length of patch is reduced 41.5 mm which correspond to 50.9 % of that of plane type(81.5mm). The return loss is -28.5 dBd and -10 dB bandwidth is 103 MHz( 6.5 %). And as the radiation pattern is broad through the size reduction of patch, the gain is 5.9 dBd and -3 dB beamwidth of E-plane is $111.9^{\circ}$.

This paper presents the design of linear and circular polarization baseball- shaped circular microstrip antenna (BCMA) with 3-dimensional structure using perturbation effect to reduce its size, which runs at 1.575GHz frequency bandwidth. As a result, the size of linear polarized antenna could be reduced up to 23.7% in patch diameter and 41.8% in its area. Linear polarized antenna has -26.04dB of return loss, 69MHz(4.38%) of -l0dB bandwidth, 4.51dBd of gain, and its -3dB beamwidth are 99$^{\circ}$ in E-plane, 83$^{\circ}$ in H-plane. Circular polarized antenna has -17.43dB of return loss, 113.7MHz(7.2%) of -l0dB bandwidth, 2dBd of gain, 2dB of axial ratio and its -3dB beamwidth are 87$^{\circ}$, 86$^{\circ}$ x-axis polarized, 80$^{\circ}$, 84$^{\circ}$ y-axis polarized. It has 82mm of diameter, which is 28.5% of linear polarized CMPA. Therefore, in this paper we verified that baseball-shaped 3-dimensional structure of circular microstrip patch antenna applied with perturbation effect is appropriate for miniaturization.

Microstrip line is one of the most essential elements of microwave and milimeter-wave integrated circuits. And then the frequency dependent characteristics of the microstrip line have previously been analyzed using several frequency domain approaches But the 3-D TLM method presented in this Paper is another independent approaches for obtaining frequency domain results for microstrip line. The structure analysed with this TLM algorithm is step discontinuity microstrip line and the symmetrical condensed node is used. After numerical analysis, the frequency dependent scattering Parameters of a step discontinuity microstrip line have been calculated by Fourier transform of the time domain data. From the time domain TLM numerical results. this numerical analysis is shown to be an efficient method for modelling complicated structure as step discontinuity microstrip line.

In this paper, we presented a novel structure of microstrip directional coupler for realizing the high directivity characteristic and tight coupling. The achievement of the high directivity with microstrip configuration was carried out by matching the even and odd mode effective phase velocities. By using 2-dimensional finite element (FE) calculations, the phase velocity for each mode and design parameters were extracted for given dimensions. Based on the extracted design parameter with phase-matched condition, we designed and fabricated 3dB and 4.7dB directional coupler at 2.0GHz. Experimental results of microstrip coupler show good performance with excellent isolation characteristics.

In this paper, the single-fed microstrip parasitic array antenna for low-cost three-dimensional beam steering in 5.8GHz ISM(5.725GHz~5.825GHz) band is designed and implemented. The antenna is comprised of one feed active element and four passive elements with variable reactance loads. The beam steering range of implemented antenna is achieved three-dimensional beam steering of ${\pm}28^{\circ}$ at azimuth angle ${\Phi}=0^{\circ}$, ${\Phi}=45^{\circ}$, ${\Phi}=90^{\circ}$, and ${\Phi}=135^{\circ}$ by adjusting variable reactance loads. The maximum gain of the antenna in the beam steering range have within 7.23dBi~9.36dBi and the bandwidth of return loss lower than -10dB covers 5.8GHz ISM band regardless of the beam steering angles.
