  • The various properties such as the electric current distribution, resonant frequency and radiation patterns of open-ended meander slot antenna placed on a small ground plane, are investigated to give the help in performing antenna design. Based upon these characteristics, the designed antenna which is only 22mm($0.06{\lambda}_g$) in height and 31mm($0.09{\lambda}_g$) in width can operate at the 433 MHz with the measured radiation efficiency of 8% and end-fire radiation pattern. These properties make the antenna suitable for the handheld device such as the wireless remote controller.

  • In this paper, we designed a tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS switches. The design and simulation of the antenna were performed using a high frequency structure simulator(HFSS). The antenna was designed for use in the ISM band and either operates at 2.4 GHz or 5.7 GHz achieving -10 dB return-loss bandwidths of 20 MHz and 180 MHz, respectively. In order to obtain high efficiency and improve the ease of integration, a high resistivity silicon(HRS) wafer on a glass substrate was used for the antenna. The antenna achieved high gains: 8 dB at 5.7 GHz and 1 dB at 2.4 GHz. The RF MEMS DC contact switches were simulated and analyzed using ANSYS software.

  • In this paper, the planar type modified folded loop antennas for S-DMB band is proposed. The proposed antenna consisted of opened center of a conventional closed loop and folded terminal of microstrip line to inside loop antenna. The sizes proposed antenna was minimized by folding the terminal of the loop. Also, It was minimized reactance value by increasing capacitances between coupled microstrip line. Therefore the proposed antennas compacted about 20% than a conventional loop antenna and increased efficiency of antenna. The proposed antennas got an omni-directional pattern, the antenna gain was 3.67 [dBi] and the bandwidth was 900 MHz (2.6-3.56 GHz) with VSWR${\leq}$2 from the simulated and the measured results. The frequency utilization coefficient was 29.9 %. These properties could satisfy the S-DMB band.

  • This letter presents the design of a small and low-profile RFID tag antenna in the UHF band that can be mounted on metallic objects. The designed tag antenna, which uses a ceramic material as a substrate, consists of a radiating patch and a microstrip line with two shorting pins for a proximity-coupled feeding structure. Using this structure, impedance matching can be simply obtained between the antenna and tag chip without a matching network. The fractional impedance bandwidth for $S_{11}$ <3 dB and radiation efficiency are about 1.4% and 56% at 911 MHz, respectively. The read range is approximately from 5 m to 6 m when the tag antenna is mounted on a metallic surface.

  • 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.

  • The existing antenna that equipped with Micro Aerial Vehicle, microstrip antenna only can send and receive image signal because of limited bandwidth. But, proposed antenna that equipped with Micro Aerial Vehicle flight introduces tapered type patch antenna, also improves bandwidth then can transfer present location, altitude, movement speed. Furthermore, as a result of introduce stacked type, it transfers more quality of image signal, and represents most suitable performance in Korean peninsula that has many mountain peaks. In this paper, to transmit and receive the wideband signals with a antenna system, the wideband microstrip antenna is proposed and designed. This antenna operates at 2.4GHz. In this thesis, the resonance frequency of 2.4GHz and the reflective loss of the antenna of -22dB were calculated by measuring the fabricated Tapered Microstrip Patch Antenna which was designed with the resonance of 2.4GHz. The calculated gain and efficiency of antenna were 6.7dB and $60\%$ respectively. The characteristic of the bandwidth shows with $50\~60MHz$ which is $6.02\%$ at the basis of -l5dB reflective loss. The experimental results can be used in the characteristic of the resonators and this antenna produces a greatly enhanced bandwidth.

  • In this paper, a hybrid multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna for eight-band mobile handsets is designed and implemented. For the MIMO antenna, two hybrid antennas are laid symmetrically and connected by an interconnection tie, thereby enabling complementary operation. The tie affects both the impedance and radiation characteristics of each antenna. Further, printed circuit board (PCB) embedded type is applied to the antenna design. To verify the results of this study, we designed eight bands-LTE class 12, 13, and 14, CDMA, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS, and WCDMA-and implemented them on a bare board the same size as the real board of a handset. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is within 3:1 over the entire design band. Antenna isolation is less than -15 dB at the lower band, and -12 dB at the WCDMA band. Envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of 0.0002-0.05 is obtained for all bands. The average gain and efficiency are measured to range from -4.69 dBi to -2.88 dBi and 33.99% to 51.5% for antenna 1, and -4.74 dBi to -2.97 dBi and 33.45% to 50.49% for antenna 2, respectively.

  • This paper presents the effects of the position of the split of a split-ring resonator (SRR) on the performance of a composite broadband printed dipole antenna. The antenna is made of two printed dipole arms enclosed by two rectangular and identically printed SRRs. One dipole arm and the SRR are printed on the top side of the substrate, while the other dipole arm and SRR are printed on the bottom side of the same substrate. By changing the position of the split on the SRR, different antenna characteristic values are obtained, namely, for impedance bandwidth and radiation patterns. The split position is thus a critical parameter in antenna design, because it influences the antenna's major performance immensely. Different split positions and their consequences for antenna performance are demonstrated and discussed. The antenna generates linearly polarized radiations, and it is computationally characterized for broadband characteristics. The optimized compact antenna has overall dimensions of 9.6 mm × 74.4 mm × 0.508 mm (0.06λ × 0.469λ × 0.0032λ at 1.895 GHz) with a measured fractional bandwidth of 60.31% (1.32 to 2.46 GHz for |S11| <-10 dB) and a radiation efficiency of >88%.

  • Previous studies have selected wireless power transmission system using 2.45 GHz of ISM band, but the researches for 5.8 GHz microwave wireless power transmission have been relatively rare. The 5.8 GHz has some advantages compared with 2.45 GHz. Those are smaller antenna and smaller integrated system for RFIC. In this paper, the 5.8 GHz wireless power transmission system was developed and transmission efficiency was measured according to the distance. A transmitter sent the amplified microwaves through an antenna amplified by a power amplifier of 1W for 5.8 GHz, and a receiver was converted to DC from RF through a RF-DC Converter. In the 1W 5.8GHz wireless power transmission system, the converted currents and voltages were measured to evaluate transmission efficiency at each distance where LED lights up to 1m. The RF-DC Converter is designed and fabricated by impedance matching using full-wave rectifier circuit. The transmission-efficiency of the system shows from 1.05% at 0cm to 0.095% at 100cm by distance.

  • In this paper, we examined the operating principle of a passive tag antenna for RFID system in UHF band. Based on the study, we proposed a novel RFID tag antenna which adopts the inductively coupled feeding structure to match antenna impedance to a capacitively loaded commercial tag chip. The proposed tag antenna consists of microstrip lines on a thin PET substrate for low-cost fabrication. The detail structure of the tag antenna were optimized using a full electromagnetic wave simulator of IE3D in conjunction with a Pareto genetic algorithm, and the size of the tag antenna can be reduced up to kr=0.27(2 cm2). We built some sample antennas and measured the antenna characteristics such as a return loss, an efficiency, and radiation patterns. The readable range of the tag antenna with a commercial RFID system showed about 1 to 3 m.
