A theoretical method has been considered for the analysis of a cylindrical edge-slot antenna which belongs to a class of circumferential slot antennas that are suitable for conformal mounting on conducting bodies of revolution. A coupled integral equation is formulated for unknown magnetic currents of both the coaxial aperture and the edge slot, and solved by the moment method. Theoretical values for reflection coefficient obtained based upon the method are compared with our experimental values and other author's results available. There arre good agreement between them.

The ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum available for commercial applications has offered us an opportunity to achieve high-speed wireless communications and high-accuracy location applications. As one of key research areas in UWB technology, a lot of innovative broadband and miniaturization techniques for UWB antennas have been greatly invented and developed for years. This paper reviews the development of UWB antenna design in the past decade. Starting with a brief introduction of the specific requirements and promising applications of UWB systems, the unique design challenges of UWB antennas are highlighted. Next, the important milestones of UWB antenna designs are briefed. After that, a variety of planar UWB antennas invented for broadband operation, miniaturization, and multiple functions are introduced. Last, the comments on the development of UWB antennas in future are shared.

In this paper, aperture coupled stacked microstrip array antennas are proposed and their operating characteristics are analyzed based on analytical. In order to evaluate mutual coupling between slot-coupled microstrip patches in finite array, analysis uses the reciprocity theorem and the spectral domain Green's functions for dielectric slab in a moment method solution for the unknown patches and solts current distrbution. By introducing an N-port equivalent network, the impedance matrix of an affay of N-element slot-coupled patches is evaluated directly from its network current matix of order N$^{2}$, and it can be programmed to be run on a PC. Numerical results show mutual coupling, radiation pattern, active reflection coefficient versus scan angle, radiation efficiency and active element gain pattern.

Aperture-coupled microstrip antenna is one type of microstrip antennas. This type of antenna has bandwidth wider than simple microstrip antenna. Herein, we use two substrates, that have the same dielectric constant 2.47 (PTFE-quartz) in which upper substrate is a rectangular patch. The microstrip patch is fed by a microstrip line which is printed on lower substrate, through an aperture or slot in the common ground plane of patch and microstrip feed. This antenna is analyzed by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method the specific design frequency 10 GHz and match impedance is 50 ohms. The simulation results of its characteristics are input impedance, return loss, VSWR and radiation patterns respectively.

In this paper, the single-layer slotted waveguide array antenna is designed, which consists of two par the slot plate and the structure of waveguide. The key difficulty in mass production is the realization of perfect electrical contact between the two parts. Therefore the single-layer slotted waveguide array antenna is presented with a dumbbell patch and a choke. The choke can prevent from the leakage between the slot plate and waveguide, while the choke in the adjacent waveguide incurs space dissipation. To reduce the spacing of antennas about a dumbbell patch is utilized. the 16${\times}$16 array antenna gain of 27.2 ㏈ with 45 % aperture efficiency is obtained.

In this paper, to improve the bandwidth of microstrip antenna, we discussed parasitic patch structure coupled capacitively at radiating slot. To reduce the overal size of antenna,$\lambda$/4 short structure is accepted instead of $\lambda$/2 patch. Since ground plane is reduced, backward radiation is occurred. The characteristics of the designed antenna is evaluated, based on the transmission line model and the aperture analysis method. And by computer program the radiation pattern and return loss are evaluated. As simulation results, backward radiation is -15 dB. Bandwidth of constructed antenna is 167 MHz at the resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz, which is very broad, compared to conventional microstrip antennas. Therefore the proposed antenna will be suitable for very wide bandwidth communications.
