움직이는 차량 내에서 WiBro 서비스를 사용하기 위해서는 Multi-Fading 환경에 강한 Diversity 안테나 시스템이 필수적으로 요구된다. 일반적으로 Diversity System Gain을 올리기 위해서는 안테나간의 높은 격리도를 확보해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 안테나간의 격리도를 확보하기 위하여 안테나의 편파를 직교시키는 편파 다이버시티 안테나를 제안하였다. 또한 한정된 크기의 Ground를 공유한 상태에서 안테나 간의 편파특성을 개선하기 위한 HWLLA (Half Wave Length Loaded Antenna)구조를 설계 및 측정하였다. 결과적으로 두 Diversity 안테나 간의 격리도가 HWLLA 타입을 적용했을 때 PIFA Type보다 12 dB 이상 개선되었다.

In this paper, in order to investigate the fading reduction effect of narrowband and broadband signals in an indoor multipath propagation environment, both the received narrowband signal while a vehicle unit in motion and the frequency sweeped broadband signal received by vertical polarized antenna, horizontal polarized antenna and circularly polarized antenna are analyzed. Specifically, in order to evaluate polarization diversity effect, we examined the difference of fading reduction effect between the polarization diversity reception and the space diversity reception. Using the correlation coefficient and correlation graph for the polarization diversity branches, the diversity effect is evaluated. And also, using the cumulative distribution for the received signal strength simulated by diversity reception, the diversity effect is also estimated. From the evaluation results it was found that the polarization diversity which use a circularly polarized antenna at the transmitting end and the vertical and horizontal polarized antenna branches at the receiving end is markedly excellent.

This paper proposes a reconfigurable square-patch antenna with polarization diversity. The proposed antenna consists of a square radiating patch and a Y-shaped feed structure with two PIN diodes. The shape of the feed structure can be changed by adjusting the bias states of the two PIN diodes, which helps switch between two orthogonal linear polarizations. The polarization diversity characteristic is validated by the simulated current distribution and the measured radiation pattern.

A novel compact pattern diversity slot antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth applications is presented. This antenna consists of two modified coplanar waveguides that feed staircase-shaped radiating elements, wherein two different fork-like stubs are placed at the $45{\circ}$ axis. The measured results show that this proposed antenna operates from 2.3 GHz to 12.5 GHz, covering Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The performance of radiation patterns and the corresponding envelope correlation coefficient prove this antenna is suitable for MIMO/diversity systems. Also, the antenna's compact size makes it a good candidate for portable devices.

In this paper, the performance of a multiuser diversity system combined with a multi-element transmit antenna system is analyzed under the assumption of independent Rayleigh fading. A measure of system .level performance is an average channel capacity as a function of the number of users and antennas. Average channel capacity is obtained from the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) distribution combined by both transmit diversity(TD) at each link and multiuser diversity at system level. Numerical results show that closed-loop antenna techniques provide an additional gain with multiuser diversity system due to array gain, even though space diversity gain reduces multiuser diversity gain. On the other hand, the space-time block coding(STBC) that provides full order space diversity gain only has a destructive influence on multiuser diversity.

A small reconfigurable patch antenna is proposed to achieve polarization diversity for digital multimedia broadcasting systems at 2.6 GHz. To obtain polarization diversity, a pair of on-slit PIN diodes is inserted in each diagonal of a cross-shaped patch. Thus, four PIN-diodes on these slits are utilized to change the connection of the slits and thus achieve polarization. Bias circuits for the diodes are allocated in the cutting corner of the cross-shaped patch to minimize the antenna size. The antenna produces left-hand circular polarization, right-hand circular polarization, or linear polarization, depending on the PIN-diode status. Analysis of circular polarization operation is explicated. Measurements show a gain of about 1.5 dB, a cross polarization of about -20 dB, and an axial ratio of about 2.5 dB.

This paper proposes a new diversity antenna which is the base of MIMO, tunable and reconfigurable antennas. The antenna has a small size and high inter-antenna isolation resulting from the compact radiating element comprising a meandered line and an open-loop combined in one limited uniplanar space and a modified T-shaped decoupling structure, respectively. In a WiMAX band, the radiating element and the entire antenna are $0.092{\lambda}$ and $0.2216{\lambda}$ in size, which shows effective size-reduction and the gain and efficiency of the proposed antenna attached to the ground of a handheld device are 3.7dBi and 56% acceptable to the industrial standard.

본 논문에서는 실내환경에서 안테나의 빔 폭에 따른 편파 다이버시티 특성을 분석하고, 실내환경에 적합한 편파 다이버시티용 안테나를 제안하기 위하여 소형, 경량, 박형의 지향성 패턴을 갖는 이중편파 마이크로스트 립 배열 안테나를 이용하여 편파 다이버시티 특성을 살펴보았다. 제작된 안테나는 빔 폭이 각각 $70^{\circ}$와 $20^{\circ}$인 $1\times4$ 배열과 $4\times4$ 배열의 안테나이며, 중심주파수는 IMT-2000 주파수대역인 1890 MHz이다. 안테나의 빔 폭 에 따른 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 도파관 구조의 다양한 폭을 지닌 복도에서 측정을 하였으며. 이를 다이폴 안테나를 사용한 공간 다이버시티 기법의 결과와 비교하였다. 측정 및 분석 결과 제작된 지향성을 갖는 이중 편파 마이크로스트립 배열 안테나를 사용한 편파 다이버시티 기법이 공간 다이버시티 기볍보다 환경에 따라 약 1-7 dB이상의 더 높은 다이버시티 이득을 나타냈다. 따라서 실내환경구조에 따른 적합한 지향성 빔 패턴 을 갖는 안테나 및 다이버시티 시스댐 설계에 효과적으로 사용되어질 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper proposes a miniaturized high-isolation diversity antenna for wearable wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. An inverted-F type radiating element is used to reduce the overall dimension of the proposed antenna to $30mm{\times}30mm{\times}2.5mm$. The antenna performance on the human body phantom is analyzed through simulation and the performance of the fabricated antenna is verified by comparing the measured data with that of the simulation when the antenna is placed on a semi-solid flat phantom with equivalent electrical properties of a human body. The fabricated antenna has a 10 dB return loss bandwidth over the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band from 2.35 GHz to 2.71 GHz and isolation is higher than 28 dB at 2.45 GHz. The measured peak gain of antenna elements # 1 and # 2 is -0.43 dBi and -0.54 dBi, respectively. Performance parameters are analyzed, including envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), mean effective gain (MEG), and the MEG ratio. In addition, the specific absorption ratio (SAR) distributions of the proposed antenna are measured for consideration in use.

본 논문에서는 인터리빙 딜레이 다이버시터 기법을 제안하고 이를 다중 코드 WCDMA 시스템에 적용한다. 제안 시스템에서의 딜레이 다이버시터 기법은 인터리빙 기법을 적용하여 잡음과 페이딩의 영향을 감쇄시켜 시스템 성능을 개선하고 인터리빙된 신호와 인터리빙 되지 않은 신호를 서로 다른 시간 간격을 두어 전송시켜 시간 다이버시터 이득을 얻으며 송신단에서 우너신호의 재전송 횟수를 적절히 증가시킴에 따라 수신 다이버시터이득을 효과적으로 얻을 수 있도록 한다. 또한 다수의 안테나 중 채널 상황이 좋은 안테나만을 선택하여 신호를 전송하는 안테나 선택 기법을 적용하여 제한된 전력을 효율적으로 사용하는 기법을 제안하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 시스템이 기존 시스템에 비해 2dB 이상의 성능개선을 나타냄을 확인하였다.
