In this paper, a CPW fed and inversed U-type monopole structure wide slot antenna for novel broadband calacturictics is proposed. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the wide slot antenna, we proposed the wide slot structure with cpw-fed which is combined with four $\lambda/2$ rectangular radiation modified monopole and inductively coupled. The measured impedance bandwidth is about 2.3 GHz(3.85~6.15 GHz) at 10 dB and the simulated antenna gain is about 6 dBi at 5.4 GHz.

In this paper, a double-sided planar balun using Microstrip-to-CPW coupled structure is fabricated and measured. The measured amplitude and phase imbalance are, respectively, less than 0.2 dB and 2.1$^{\circ}$ in a wide frequency range from 2.44 GHz to 4.33 GHz. It is expected that the proposed balun can improved the performance of balanced mixer, amplifier and feeding network of antennas. Also, it can be used in many microwave multilayer structures due to its structural characteristics.

In this paper, a new CPW-fed cross shape fractal antenna having a self-affinity is presented. This novel configuration, which has anisotropic scaling symmetry, makes smaller profile characteristic compared to the fractal antenna using a self-similarity. Increase of the iteration coefficient, which leads to decrease of the fundamental resonant frequency, shows a good impedance matching condition and multi-band characteristics due to new surface current paths. The radiation patterns are similar to those of monopole antennas. In the K3 stage of iteration, the proposed antenna shows a measured maximum gain 2.27 dBi at 940 MHz. A commercially available software based on the FDTD algorithm has been used to obtain the predicted results. In addition, an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate has been employed for the experimental results.

In the present study, we proposed newly a CPW-fed miniaturized folded-slot antenna with open ended slot for WCDMA (1.92 ~ 2.17 GHz) band. Open-ended slots and asymmetric ground plane are used for a miniaturization of the antenna, and the proposed antenna was designed and fabricated on a FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of 35×70 ㎟. The measured impedance bandwidths (|S₁₁| ≤ -10 dB) of fabricated antenna is about 400 MHz (1.86 ~ 2.26 GHz), which sufficiently satisfied interested band. Furthermore, the gain of antenna is 2 dBi and this antenna shows a similar radiation patterns of the dipole antenna. Therefore, it is expected to be used usefully in wireless and mobile communication device.

In this paper, a co-planar waveguide(CPW)-fed zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna with an improved radiation efficiency was built and tested. The unit cell of the proposed antenna consists of a series metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor and a shorted shunt stub inductor. In order to reduce the antenna size and to achieve the high radiation efficiency two shorted shunt stub arms bent by 90 degree were connected to the ground plane through the via. The proposed antenna consisting of two unit cells has an open ended composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line structure. As a result the dominantly radiating parts of the antenna comes from shunt stub arms and vertical vias. The total size of the fabricated zeroth-order resonant antenna is $0.22\;{\lambda}_0{\times}0.22\;{\lambda}_0$. The measured gain and efficiency of the fabricated antenna have been enhanced by 3.07 dBi and 75 %, respectively, at the zeroth-order resonant frequency of 2.97 GHz.

This paper proposes a uni-planar elliptical element UWB antenna with band-notched characteristic and modified pound plane fed by CPW. The antenna achieves VSWR below 2 for UWB band(3.1 GHz${\~}$10.6 GHz). In addition, a band-notched characteristic is achieved by inserting a horizontal slot on the radiation element to avoid the interference with 5 GHz(5.15 GHz${\~}$5.825 GHz) band limited by IEEE 802.1la. The antenna has a thin profile, compact size, and ease of manufacture by adopting a CPW feed structure without any additional background plane. Measured data show that the proposed antenna has good return loss below -10 dB, about 2.1 dB${\~}$4.75 dB maximum gain over the bandwidth, omni-directional radiation patterns, linear phase response.

In this paper, the compact CPW-fed antenna with triple folded patch for dual-band WLAN applications is proposed. As the conventional double inverted-L antenna is changed into the C-shaped patch and double inverted-L antenna, the antenna overcomes the narrow-band characteristics according to the miniaturization of the antenna. The proposed antenna with the size of only $16.5mm{\times}29.5mm{\times}1.0mm$ is designed and fabricated by optimized parameters to be operated at 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band. The antenna is fabricated into FR-4 substrate with thickness of 1.0 mm. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB at dual-band.

In this paper, a novel ultra-wideband planar monopole antenna for the UHF communications and Digital-TV reception is proposed. The proposed antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide(CPW) is based on a triangular patch that has a broadband characteristic. To further increase the bandwidth of the triangular patch antenna, the top side of the regular triangular patch is loaded with a notch cut and each oblique side with a step. In addition, a slope is given to the ground plane of the CPW structure. Experimental results show that the -10 dB return loss bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 2,320 MHz from 480~2,800 MHz(5.83:1 bandwidth), which covers all the frequency bands of the various wireless communication systems and Digital TV broadcasting in the UHF band. Within the entire operating frequency range, the measured antenna gain in y-z plane(E-plane) varies from 3.01 to 4.71 dBi.

In this paper, we studied a design method for obtaining broadband property by loading a chip capacitor on a coplanar waveguide(CPW)-fed compact quasi-Yagi antenna(QYA). The proposed antenna is a three-element QYA with dipole, reflector, and director. To reduce the size, the ends of both dipole and reflector are bent, and balun is incorporated in the antenna. To improve impedance matching, the loading position and capacitance value of chip capacitor were determined. From some simulations, the proposed antenna using an FR4 substrate with a size of 90 mm by 90 mm was designed for the operation in a broadband covering the UHF RFID and GPS systems. The antenna showed a good performance with a broadband of 850-1,626 MHz(62.7%) for a VSWR ${\leq}2$, a gain ${\geq}3dBi$, and a frong-to-back ratio ${\geq}4.6dB$.
