A small size broadband microstrip patch antenna with small ground plane has been fabricated using MEMS. Multiple layer substrates are used to realize small size and broadband characteristics. The microstrip patch is divided into 3 pieces and each patch is connected to each other using a metal microstrip line. The fabrication process is simple and only one mask is needed. Two types of microtrip antennas are fabricated. Type A is the micros trip antenna with metal lines and type B is the microstrip antenna without metal lines. The size of proposed microstip antenna is $8^{*}12^{*}2mm^{3}$ and the experimental results show that the antenna type A and type B have the bandwidth of 420 MHz at 5.3 GHz and 480 MHz at 5.66 GHz, respectively.

본 논문에서는 BMWS(Broadband Multimedia Wireless System)용 370개 슬롯 배열 안테나를 설계 및 제작하여, 그 특성을 측정하였다. 동작 주파수(40.5 GHz~43.5 GHz)의 특성상 안테나의 급전 손실이 크기 때문에 혼과 평행판 도파관(parallel-plate waveguide)으로 이루어진 단순한 형태의 급전 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 급전 구조는 급전상의 효율성을 높일 수 있고, 대량 생산이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 제작된 안테나의 경우 설계 주파수 에서 이득이 25.8 dBi를 나타내었으며 H-면의 경우 부엽 레벨은 -18 dB로 억제되었고, 3$^{\circ}$의 좁은 3 ㏈ 빔폭을 나타내었다. 안테나의 비대칭적인 구조 때문에 H-면의 경우 3 ㏈ 빔폰은 17$^{\circ}$로 나타났으며 이 때 부엽 레벨은 -27 ㏈ 이하로 억제되었다. 실험을 통해 얻은 결과는 모의 실험의 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 슬롯 배열 안테나를 전력 분배기로 평행하게 결합시킴으로써 안테나의 비대칭 구조를 극복하여 H-면의 넓은 3 ㏈ 빔폭을 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

This paper proposes the planar-type modified monopole antennas of loop structure. This antenna has an opened center of a conventional closed loop structure with an inside-folded terminal of the loop microstrip line. The size of the proposed antenna was minimized by folding the end of the loop. Also, the reactance value has been minimized by increasing capacitances between the coupled microstrip line. Therefore the proposed antenna has been compacted to about 20% from a conventional loop antenna and has increased its efficiency. The proposed antennas have 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.

The Ku band that has been using for the satellite communication and broadcasting would be changed to K/Ka bands. The satellite system requires the antenna structure to fabricate low loss and small antenna that is able to be integrated with other Rf circuits for both Rx and Tx. So we should design it with dual feed antennas at K/Ka bands, high isolation between two different feeds and broadband circular polarization. This paper proposes the LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) process for integration with other Rf circuits and the Axial mode of the helical antenna to satisfy those requirements.

A small size broadband microstrip patch antenna with small ground plane has been fabricated using MEMS. Multiple layer of high and low dielectric substrates are used to realize small size and broadband characteristics. The microstrip patch is divided into 4 pieces and each patch is connected to each other using a metal microstrip line. The fabrication process is very simple and only one mask is needed. Two types of microtrip antennas are fabricated. Type A is the microstrip antenna with metal lines and type B is the microstrip antenna without metal lines. The size of proposed microstip antenna is $8*12*2mm^3$ and the experimental results show that the antenna type A and type B have the bandwidth of 420MHz at 5.3 GHz and 480MHz at 5.66 GHz, respectively.

A low cross-polarization broadband stacked patch antenna is proposed. By means of the stacked patch configuration and probe-fed strip feed technique, the VSWR 1.2:1 bandwidth of the patch antenna is enhanced to 22% from 804 MHz to 1,002 MHz, which outperforms the other available patch antennas (<10%). Furthermore, the antenna has a cross-polarization level of less than -20 dB and a gain level of about 9 dBi across the operating bandwidth. Simulation results are compared with the measurements, and a good agreement is observed.

본 논문에서는 모노폴 안테나를 변형한 평면형 모노폴 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나의 루프구조 중심부를 개방하고 일정 부분을 내부로 접어서 안테나의 선로간의 커페시턴스를 증가하여 리액턴스 값을 최소화하였으며, 또한 안테나의 크기를 약 20%정도 최소화하였다. 제안된 안테나는 단일 평면으로 구현할 수 있는 CPW(Coplanar waveguide) 급전방법을 이용하였다. 안테나의 이득은 최대 3.1[dBi]이며 대역폭은 $VSWR{\le}2$를 기준하여 900MHz ($2.6{\sim}3.56GHz]$)로 29.9% 대역폭을 얻었다. 이는 S-DMB대역을 충족시킬 수 있다.

In this paper, the 5-element active phased array antennas coupled through slotline between elements are designed and fabricated. A recent studies on the active phased array antennas using the transmission line coupling which can be designed to provide strong coupling and the appropriate coupling phase. But this sturucture has limitation of expanding in two dimensions for planar active phased array antennas and distortion of the radiation pattern caused by coupling network. Thus our work proposes the slotline coupling structure asthe broadband coupling network for the active phased array antenna. In experiment, 5-elements active phased array antenas have steering range from -30.deg. to 20.deg. off broadside as the free-running frequencies of end elements are controlled. The overall results show that the proposed slotline coupling structure is suited for the coupling network in the actie phased array antenna system. And the proposed coupling structire solves the expansion problem and eliminates the distortion of the radiation pattern caused by the spurious radiation of the transmission line coupling network. Thus thiscan be expanded to two dimensional coupling network for the planar active phased array antenna system.
