In this paper, a broadband rectangular reflector antenna with 16-array elements for WiBro/WiMAX band(2.3${\sim}$3.5 GHz) is designed, and its radiation characteristics are investigated. The designed antenna is composed of the IBBD(Integrated Balun Bow-tie Dipole) elements and has the feed circuit at the rear of the reflector to reduce the unwanted electromagnetic wave from it. To confirm the broadband characteristics of the designed antenna, test antenna is fabricated and its radiation characteristics are measured, compared with calculated results. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results. As a result of measurements, 1.8GHz of bandwidth(VSWR<1.6) is achieved at $2.06{\sim}3.89GHz$ and the antenna gain over 10.3 dBi. We confirm that the designed antenna can be used as a broadband antenna for WiBro/WiMAX.

A wideband patch antenna fed by an L-strip feeder is studied. The objective of this paper is to design small wideband antenna for 3G and 4G wireless mobile communication service. The enhanced features were confirmed and proved by comparing the proposed antenna with the antennae that have been reported in the relevant literatures. Measurement results confirm that an impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) of 636MHz(32.5%, fo=1,960MHz) is achieved at 3G and 4G frequency band for L-strip-fed triangular patch antenna. In general, probe feed has only the parasitic reactance caused by the probe, which reduces the bandwidth performance of the antenna. The experimental results proved that the effects of improvement could be achieved because the proposed antenna is capable of compensating the parasitic reactance from the feeding mechanism. The studied antenna can be designed easily for extension of array because it has simple structure.

In this paper, a cavity back slot antenna with a rotated rectangular patch is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a ground plane with cavity structure, a microstrip feed line, and a rectangular patch with slot. With a dimension of $55mm{\times}40mm{\times}10mm$, the proposed antenna has the wide bandwidth due to the cavity structure. Measured 10 dB return loss bandwidth and fractional bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 5,030 MHz(3.02~8.05 GHz) and 90.9 % at the center frequency of 5.05 GHz. The proposed antenna is designed and simulated using ANSYS HFSS v.15.0.0. The designed antenna is fabricated and tested to validate its performances.

In this thesis, the characteristics of an inverted-F antenna for the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz zwirless local area network(WLAN) have been analysed in terms of the variation of design parameters. The antenna can be integrated on WLAN for notebook printed circuit board, and the characteristics in terms of the variation of the gap between feed line and shorting stub, gap between antenna's leg and ground plane, antenna leg's width, substrate's height and dielectric constant are analysed. By using these characterization plot of design parameter, the tuning techniques are proposed to design optimum antenna. The designed antenna has 170MHz, 500MHz frequency bandwidth ,VSWR is 1.6, 1.14 and 3.5dBi gain.

This paper presents a dual band loop-type ground antenna using lumped-elements that control the impedance bandwidth and resonant frequency. The dual-band operation of the proposed antenna is realized by inserting an additional resonated loop feed structure into the reference ground antenna. As the proper value of the capacitor and the inductor are chosen, the impedance bandwidth of our antenna with voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) equal to 3 is 85 MHz and 725 MHz at the 2.45 and 5.5 GHz frequency band, respectively. Its validity is demonstrated via both the computed and measured results. Good antenna patterns and efficiencies are achieved at the dual frequency bands, as well as the physically small antenna element size($10{\times}5mm^2$).

The antenna achieved the size reduction of over 67.9 % than the conventional PIFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) by using a MD(Magneto-Dielectric) material. A simple feeding microstrip line is used to feed the antenna from a $50{\Omega}$ coaxial line, which is capacitively coupled to the grounded patch structure for broadband characteristics. The impedance bandwidth the proposed antenna shows good results as broadband characteristics of 1341 MHz (801 ~ 2142 MHz) in VSWR < 3 (${\leq}\;-6\;dB$) and the gain is -6.67 ~ 4.25 dBi in the operating frequency.

In this paper, a dual-band circular ring monopole antenna with stub and ground slot for WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks)/WiMAX(World interoperability for Microwave Access) applications. The proposed antenna is based on a planar monopole design, and composed of one circular ring of radiating patch, cross strip in circular ring, modified feed line, and two rectangular slot in the ground plane for triple-band operation. To obtain the optimized parameters, we used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(HFSS) and found the parameters that greatly effect antenna characteristics. Using the obtained parameters, the antenna is fabricated. The numerical and experiment results demonstrated that the proposed antenna satisfied the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. And characteristics of gain and radiation patterns are determined for WLAN/WiMAX application.

This paper presents a novel method of implementing a dual-band antenna using a square patch with an inset feed structure. The proposed method is to simply design a dual-band antenna using an asymmetric inset structure with different lengths of slots dug into the patch for inset feeding. To verify the proposed method, a dual-band inset patch antenna supporting 1.57 GHz GPS and 2.4 GHz WiFi bands was designed and manufactured on a 1 mm thick FR4 substrate. From measurement, it was confirmed that the frequency bands of the antenna that satisfy a return loss of -10dB or less are 1.55~1.57GHz and 2.41~2.45GHz, which has dual-band characteristics. Using the proposed method, it is possible to simply implement a dual-band antenna using inset feeding, and it is expected to be utilized in a variety of application fields.

A method of moments model for the resistive vee dipole has been established. In order to validate the numerical model, an experimental model is built and reflections from the antenna in the feed line are measured. The measured data and the numerical data agree closely validating the numerical model. Based on the numerical model, efficiency of the antenna and the power dissipated in the resistors are analyzed. The results show that the antenna has low radiation efficiency because of the loading resistors and that the resistors near the drive point of the antenna dissipate more power than do the resisters far from the drive point. The results can be used to determine the amount of power that can be accepted by the resistive vee dipole, to determine the power rating of the loading resistors for a desired application, or to estimate the operation range of the antenna.
