The bandwidth enhancement of an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna(ACMPA) with a high permittivity feed substrate suitable for the integration with MMIC is investigated using variation of an aperture width. As an aperture width increases, the 10 dB return loss bandwidth increases due to the increase of the mutual resonance region between a patch resonance and an aperture resonance. The bandwidth of an ACMPA with extended aperture width is increased up to 35.3 % from 20.8 % of the ACMPA with an aperture of a typical aspect ratio 10:1. The degradation of the radiation characteristics of an ACMPA due to the increase of an aperture width is very small.

This paper presents the basic characteristics of a cutoff cavity-backed aperture antenna with a feed post and a parasitic post inserted parallel to the aperture. It is shown that this type of antenna forcibly resonates the cutoff cavity by adding a single external reactance to the parasitic post. The Galerkin's method of moments is used to analyze integral equations for the unknown electric current on each post and the aperture electric field on the aperture. The value of an external reactance for forced resonance is analytically obtained by deriving a determining equation. Also the current distribution on each post, aperture electric field distributions, and the radiation patterns are discussed. The theoretical analysis is verified by the measured return loss and radiation patterns.

The Sound reduction indices(SRIs) of interior door with 13 different size apertures are measured in acoustic chamber. Also, as a theoretical approach, the SRIs are estimated using Gomperts' theory. In this study, the aperture of interior door is focused on the lower part of door leaf which is well known as a main cause to deteriorate the sound insulation performance of door. The results show that the SRI of door strongly depends on the aperture width and the dip in the measured sound reduction index curve by the resonance effect within aperture is observed at high-frequency. On the whole, the values calculated by theory are in good agreement with the measured values including the position of resonance dip. The average difference between the measured and the calculated values is 0.9 dB for 13 doors with different size aperture in terms of the weighted SRI.

Equivalent circuits for the waveguide probe with H-shaped small aperture, as a key ingredient of near field microwave microscope, is described along with a working principle of the probe. Small rectangular or circular aperture in comparison with the wavelength behaves like the inductive element. So adding the ridged structure (corresponding to capacitive component) to the small aperture allows the transmission resonance to occur. For verification, we represents the equivalent circuit descriptions for the two types, ridged aperture and cavity types. The values of obtained by use of the equivalent circuit approaches are compared with those obtained by use of the available numerical software. The results are also experimentally verified.

In this paper, bandwidth enhanced design of dielectric resonator antenna fabricated in multi-layer substrate is introduced. The proposed dielectric resonator antenna is operating with fundamental TE101 mode and higher-order TM111 mode. Each resonance frequency is dependent on resonator dimensions. As increasing the height of radiating aperture, the higher-order TM111 mode resonance frequency approach the fundamental TE101 mode resonance frequency and the antenna bandwidth increase by double resonance. Three different aperture height size antennas that operated at 7GHz are fabricated in FR4 multi-layer substrate. Measured 10 dB matching bandwidth is 8 percent for single resonace antenna and 18 percent for double resonance antenna.

In this paper, general methods for enhancing the transmission efficiency through the small subwavelength aperture in an infinite conducting plane are considered first by use of the transmission-resonant aperture like the ridged circular aperture structure, second by employing the transmission-resonant cavity structure. In particular, the maximum transmission cross section is found to be $\frac{2G{\lambda}^2}{4{\pi}}[m^2]$ for the two structures, where G is the gain of the aperture in the output half space. As experimental works, the impedance matching characteristics are investigated for the cases that above two structures are incorporated as a potential near field microscopic probe in the waveguide end. As a complementary problem to the above transmission-resonant aperture problem, some discussions are also given on the scattering resonance by the scattering object much smaller than the wavelength. This discussion may provide a good understanding of the physics for the phenomena that the maximum scattering cross section is much larger than the physical size of the atom in atomic physics area.

A new analytical method is presented for the shielding effectiveness(SE) of an enclosure with a dielectric-backed aperture. The previously proposed methods cannot consider the effect of the dielectric on the aperture. The comparisons among our method, previous method, and commercial programs give good correspondence. The method is used to calculate SE with varying permittivity and thickness of dielectric sheet, probe position, width and height of aperture.

As a microwave near field probe for near field scanning optical microscope(NSOM) system, H-shaped(ridge type) small aperture is proposed and its performances from the viewpoints of the transmission efficiency(transmission cross section) and spatial confinement(beam spot size) are compared with those of the previous narrow rectangular aperture type. While the transmission efficiencies are comparable to each other for the two structures, the transmitted beam spot size for the proposed H-shaped aperture is much smaller than that for the previous rectangular aperture. This strong point of the H-shaped aperture is expected to significantly improve near-field optical applications such as optical data storage, nanolithography and nanomicroscopy. It is also observed that the transmission efficiency can be improved if the coupling aperture is implemented in the type of the transmission cavity.
