In this paper, an asymmetric compact multiband slot antenna is proposed for global positioning system (GPS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), and wireless area network (WLAN) applications. The top plane, a ground is composed of a rectangular slot with a trapezoidal-like stub, an inverted U-shaped slot at the right side of the rectangular slot, an inverted L-shaped slot at the left side of the rectangular slot, and three stubs. The proposed antenna is fed by an asymmetric cross-parasitic strip on the bottom plane. By properly designing the slots and stubs, four resonant frequency bands are achieved with -10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidths of 50 MHz, 400 MHz, 390 MHz, and 830 MHz in the 1.57 GHz GPS band, 2.4 GHz WLAN band, 3.5 GHz WiMAX band, and 5.5 GHz WLAN bands, respectively. The antenna has a total compact size of $13mm{\times}32mm{\times}0.8mm$. Simulated and measured results indicate that the proposed antenna has sufficient bandwidth and good radiation performance in each band.

For WLAN dual-band operation, a modified Yagi dipole antenna is presented. The modified dipole antenna consists of a dipole antenna with open sleeves and parasitic elements. The parasitic elements are used for the practical application of the radiation patterns and high-gain operation at the WLAN dual band. The experimental results showed that the achieved impedance bandwidths were 320 MHz (2.4 to 2.72 GHz) and 640 MHz (5.04 to 5.68 GHz), respectively. The measured maximum gain at the two WLAN bands was 7.74 dBi and 6.93 dBi, respectively.

In this paper, 5.8GHz band $4{\times}4$ Butler matrix is designed using easily accessible commercial $90^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler and semirigid coaxial cable as a transmission line. This Butler matrix is very flexible to changes of antenna system specification like a frequency band because $90^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler changing is all to do. The result of design is the distance of $2{\times}2$ array antenna element is $\sqrt{2}{\lambda}/4$, the 4 beam directions are diagonal of array antenna and phase shifter is not necessary. The beam width is roughly $25^{\circ}$ narrower because of array antenna geometry and the side lobe is about 10dB higher partially than theoretical beam pattern. But the overall beam pattern is similar with theoretical beam. This Butler matrix can be applied to switching beam antenna of 5.8GHz band Wi-Fi and WAVE system.

This paper presents a novel circular fractal ring monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) hardware with dual band-notched properties. The proposed antenna consists of four crescent-shaped nested rings, a tapered feeding line at the front of the dielectric material, and a semicircular ground plane on the backside. In this design, the nested rings are used both as a radiation element and a band rejection element. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 9.03 GHz, which works efficiently in the range of 2.63 GHz-11.66 GHz with the dual notched bands of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) at 3.15 GHz-3.66 GHz and wireless local area network (WLAN) at 4.9 GHz-5.9 GHz, respectively. The antenna has a compact size of 20 mm × 30 mm × 1 mm (0.177 × 0.265 × 0.0084 λ0) and is implemented using a flame-retardant type 4 (FR4) material. It has a maximum gain of approximately 4 dB in its operating range, and experimental results support the simulation predictions with high accuracy. The findings of this study imply that the designed antenna can be utilized in UWB applications.

3GPP long-term evolution(LTE) band 2.3~2.4 GHz is adjacent to 2.4~2.5 GHz band for WLAN, and therefore compatibility study of the two systems is desirable. We propose a dynamic system simulation methodology to investigate the effect of WLAN interference on LTE systems. As capturing space/time/frequency changes in system parameters, the dynamic system simulation can exactly predict real system performance. Using the proposed methodology, we obtain LTE downlink throughput loss for the frequency separation between the two systems. Throughput loss under 1 % is obtained from guard band over 11 MHz(single channel allocation) or 10 MHz(three channel allocation).

In this study, a 40 GHz band pass filter(BPF) employing a hair-pin structure has been designed, fabricated, and characterized for millimeter-wave wireless communication applications. Using the 3 dimensional(3-D) electromagnetic(EM) tool and design equations of the hairpin BPF, the BPF was desgned on the 5 mil-thick Duroid substrate(RT5880) with a relative dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) of 2.2. The tapping point (t) of the U-shape resonator in the input and output port has been determined using extracted an external Q-factor ($Q_e$). The coupling coefficients between the other resonators are calculated by adjusting the physical dimensions for the desired response of the BPF. The fabricated BPF was characterized using probing method on a probe station. Its measured center frequency(fc) and fractional BW are 41.6 GHz and 7.43 %, respectively. The measured return loss is below -10 dB at the pass band and the insertion loss is 3.87 dB. The fabricated BPF is as small as $9.1{\times}2.8mm^2$.

In this paper, the chip slot antenna which is used for mobile devices and designed for multi-band is proposed. The proposed antenna is comprised of a chip antenna(10 mm$\times$20 mm$\times$1.27 mm) and a system circuit board(30 mm$\times$60 mm$\times$0.8 mm). The chip slot antenna is mounted on the system circuit board and the end of F-type strip line which is patterned on the chip antenna is connected by a via with a ground plane of the system circuit board. So, a chip antenna radiates effectively the energy by transition between a microstrip line of the system circuit board and a open slot structure of the chip antenna. In the results of proposed antenna, impedance bandwidth of 3:1 VSWR(-6 dB return loss) is 1.98 GHz(1.61~3.59 GHz) and 0.8 GHz(5.2~6 GHz). So, it can cover multi-band of DCS, PCS, UMTS, WLAN. The proposed antenna can be applied to mobile devices.

In this paper, two types of BPF(Band Pass Filter) which are hair-pin and interdigital have been designed for millimeter-wave application using two types of material which are LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer) and PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) and also, their performances such as bandwidth, insertion loss, and in-band flatness are compared. The proposed BPF are designed as third-order filters, and their pass band is from 26.5 GHz to 27.3 GHz. Interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate has most wide -3 dB S21 bandwidth of 7.8 GHz and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate has most narrow -3 dB S21 bandwidth among the proposed four BPF. For in-band insertion loss, hair-pin BPF using PTFE substrate achieves low insertion loss better than -0.667 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits relatively high insertion loss among the proposed four BPF better than -0.937 dB. However, the maximum difference in insertion loss performance among the proposed four BPF is 0.27 dB, which is too small to negligible. For in-band flatness, interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate shows greatest performance of 0.017 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits the lowest performance of 0.07 dB. There are tiny difference in in-band flatness performance of 0.053 dB. As a results, it is considered that the BPF using LCP substrate can derive the performances similar to that of the BPF using PTFE substrate in Millimeter-wave band.
