In this paper, a broadband microstrip antenna for PCS and IMT-2000 service is designed. To obtain the broadband characteristics of an antenna, we utilized the multi-layered structure composed of two foam material layers, parasitic element and aperture coupled feeding network. The broadband characteristic is obtained by changing the size of parasitic element and the height of foam materials. In addition to that, the usage of metal layer at the distance of λ/4 from feed-line, back radiation is reduced. The bandwidth of a single element for VSWR less than 1.3 is about 550MHz. The bandwidth of a designed 1$\times$4 array antenna for VSWR less than 1.3 is about 460MHz. The gain of a designed array antenna is about 11.15∼12.15dBi and the front-to-back ratio is about 30dB.

In this paper, we introduce a novel feeding method for a broadband planar quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) for terrestrial digital television (DTV) receiving. The balun between the balanced coplanar strip (CPS) line feeding the driver dipole and the unblanaced microstrip line is a rectangular patch inserted into the CPS line along the center of the CPS. The end of the balun is connected to the CPS line through a shorting pin. The effects of various geometrical parameters and balun on the antenna characteristics are examined. An antenna, as an design example for the proposed antenna, is designed for the operation in the frequency band of 470-806 MHz for terrestrial DTV.

In this paper, we propose a compact multiple meander RFID tag antenna with broadband characteristic. The proposed tag antenna has been designed using the multiple meander form to effectively minimize the U-shaped half wavelength dipole antenna as the radiator part. The commercial tag chip is attached to the upper center of the rectangular shaped feed for impedance matching. The size of the antenna is $20{\times}19.7\;mm^2$ and VSWR<5.8 bandwidth is 855~964 MHz which covers the world UHF RFID bandwidth.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a broadband antenna for EMI site validation above 1 GHz. To develop the antenna which is satisfied omni-directional radiation pattern and broadband characteristics required by CISPR, we designed biconical type with cylindrical load. The developed antenna has good characteristics of the radiation patterns and VSWR<2 the frequency range from 1 GHz to 18 GHz.

This paper presents the broadband printed sleeve-monopole antenna implementing the sleeve monopole structure in the form of PCB. In the proposed antenna, the antenna performance was improved by the diameter variation of the radiator, the length variation of the sleeve, and the variation of the diameter of the sleeve conductor. HFSS simulator of ANSYS corp. was used in order to confirm the antenna parameter characteristic. According to the simulation results, the VSWR was less than 2 for the range of 2.12GHz~3.18GHz. The frequency bandwidth is 1.08GHz. The frequency range of the actual fabricated antenna was 2.0GHz~3.55GHz, the frequency bandwidth is 1.55GHz. The maximum gain was 1.64dBi. The proposed antenna was $56{\times}5{\times}1.6mm$ in size. The utilization possibility of the broadband printed sleeve-monopole antenna could be confirmed according to compare and analyze the simulation and measurement data.

A broadband antenna available in the range of 30MHz for electromagnetic interference (EMI) test is proposed in this paper, This antenna is configurated in a disk-loaded cylindrical dipole (DLCD) connected to an 180。 hybrid balun consisting of two coaxial feeders. The performance of EMI antenna is characterized with its accurate antenna factor. The antenna factor for this antenna is obtained by using the method of moments and the calculated results are compared with the measured ones. Normalized site attenuation (NSA) is also measured by using this antenna. The results present that the propose antenna could be used for a reference antenna having measurement reproducibility and represented by a theoretically accurate analysing model in EMI measurement.

There are many researches to increase bandwidth of the microstrip patch antenna for wireless LAN. In spite of broad bandwidth, Bow-Tie microstrip patch antenna, broadband microstrip patch antenna, has disadvantages that are low gain and big size. In this paper, stacked Bow-Tie microstrip patch antenna for wireless LAN is designed in 5.725∼5.825㎓ band. This antenna has characteristics that are broadband bandwidth, high gain and small size compared with microstrip patch antenna. In simulated results, the return loss is -34.2㏈ at 5.78㎓ and bandwidth is 11.345% for VSWR 2：1 and 7.75% for VSWR 1.5：1. In measured results, the return loss is -38.45㏈ at 5.78㎓ and bandwidth is 13% for VSWR 2：1 and 5.6% for VSWR 1.5：1. It has 59.37$^{\circ}$-3㏈ beam width and 6.5㏈ gain.

In this paper, the cross monopole antenna with branch element is presented and its radiation characteristics are investigated. To confirm the broadband characteristics of the proposed antenna, the experimental antenna is designed, fabricated, and its radiation characteristics are measured in PCS, WCDMA, WiBro and S-DMB band(1.750~2.655 GHz). It is shown that the designed antenna has the non-directional pattern in the horizontal plane, the directional pattern in the vertical plane, VSWR less than 1.5 and gain over 1.9 dBi in 1.72~2.82 GHz. From these results, the presented antenna is conformed as a broadband antenna which can be used for PCS, WCDMA, WiBro and S-DMB band.

In this paper, we have researched designing a microstrip antenna, which will be replaced for a parabolic antenna. A microstrip antenna has been used in extremely limited field, but if it is applied to practical life like a DBS receiving antenna, we expect that it will be used in various way. First of all, if we use a microstrip antenna for a DBS receiving antenna, it should be guaranteed characteristics of broadband frequency. Therefore, the goal of this paper is designing an antenna which guarantees broadband frequency band for a DBS reception. Also, experiment with Koreasat, we have researched the propriety of this antenna for the DBS receiving antenna.

A compact and broadband balun is designed using a conventional right-handed transmission line (RHTL) and a left-handed transmission line (LHTL) with lumped elements only. The proposed balun maintains a phase difference of $180^{\circ}{\pm}12^{\circ}$ at the output ports for the frequency range of 1.27 GHz-2.69 GHz. Nevertheless, the circuit size is merely $9.5mm{\times}12.7mm$. To verify the performance of the proposed balun, we attached it to a dipole-type antenna and observed that the return loss is greater than 10 dB for the frequency range between 1.86 GHz and GHz. The radiation pattern and peak gain are similar to those of the dipole antenna with a conventional balun.
