마이크로스트립 안테나는 다양한 장점에 의해 배열 안테나로서 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 표면 전파에 의한 음영각 발생 및 이에 따른 조향각이 제한된다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 radome이 올려진 cavity-backed 단일 방사 소자들을 showed array 구조론 통해 해결하는데 초점을 두었으며, 알고리즘에 대한 설명과 본 구조를 이용하여 실제 성능의 개선을 가져 올 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

In this paper, a low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity backed antenna in order to improve the performances of radiation and bandwidth for the antenna with high relative dielectric constant is proposed. Low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity consisted of several ground planes with closely spaced metallic vias connected. It is shown that the size of a low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity has the effects on the performances of radiation and bandwidth for the antenna. The proposed 2x4 low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity backed antenna is $10{\times}20\;mm^2$ in size. Measured results show antenna gain of $11.8{\sim}14.1\;dBi$ and bandwidth of 13 %(7.9 GHz) in the $57{\sim}64\;GHz$ band.

This paper presents analysis of a slot array antenna having a low side lobe level and high front-to-back ratio for a repeater system of a satellite DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service. Antennas for this repeater system require a high gain and enough isolation to reduce interferences between signals in system. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress a side lobe level and to increase front-to-back ratio. Unlike a structure 134 by lossy microstrip lines, in this work a single cavity-backed slot antenna array using a single waveguide feed is proposed to obtain the reliability for high power handling and high radiation efficiency. The side lobe level and front-to-back ratio are enhanced with tapered array technique and an optimized vertical reflector. The measured side lobe levels in H- and E-plane are under $-33.24\;\cal{dB}$ and $-35.78\;\cal{dB}$, respectively. The front-to-back ratio over $37.84\;\cal{dB}$, and the peak gain of over $17\;\cal{dBi}$ are measured.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a cost effective and broad band 8$\times$8 stacked patch array antenna which are backed by a metal cavity operating at 400Hz based on 4 layers LTCC technology. Gain of antenna can be enhanced by using a metal cavity, which can be easily implemented by using LTCC substrates and vias. The broadband performance can be obtained by varying the dimension of patch and the number of layers. Furthermore, to keep the feeding network as smal1 as possible and reduce radiation from feeding network a mirrored patch orientation and embedded micro strip line are adopted, The fabricated antenna is $40\times45\times0.4$ $mm^3$in size. It shows gain 20.4dBi, beam width 10.7deg and impedance bandwidth of l0dE return loss 3.35GHz (40.9$\sim$44.25 GHz), which is about 8% of a center frequency.

Electromagnetic waves from the satellite may be utilized to direct the tracking antenna toward the satellite. We design and fabricate the feed appropriate to the monopulse tracking technique which derive angle-error information on the basis of a single pulse. The feed consists of five cavity-backed turnstile elements mounted on a common ground plane. The turnstile dipole are connected to a set of five quadrature hybrids which convert the dual linear polarization into dual circular polarization. The five feed outputs are then processed in the monopulse comparator which is constructed in microstrip for compactness.
