A novel analytical method based on the cavity mode theory to design a metasurface (MS) is proposed in this study. We carefully analyzed the phase and amplitude characteristics of the incident wave and transmitted wave, and successfully designed a circular polarization conversion MS by introducing a cutting structure with wider operation bandwidth and higher radiation direction gain compared with that of the original MS. For the measurements, a microstrip antenna operating at 2.4 GHz was used as the source antenna to verify the designed MS. The simulation and measurement results agree well with each other.

In this paper, we propose the MIMO circular polarization feed network to enhance the communication performances from the previous $2{\times}2$ MIMO channel to $4{\times}4$ channel for Land Mobile Satellite communication system. The only possibility to extend the communication channel is to use the additional satellite because of the limitation of satellite spaces to install additional antennas. For overcoming this problems, we propose the MIMO circular polarization feed network to secure the isolation characteristics without the distant antenna space. The port isolation characteristics and each port impedance matching conditions are numerically verified and we suggest the $4{\times}4$ MIMO channel model of the proposed system and the performances are verified. The fabricated circular polarization patch antennas with the proposed feed network are measured in the reverberation chamber and 7~10 dB of diversity gain and 80 % increasement of channel capacity are obtained.

This paper describes a compact microstrip active antenna with dual polarization. The antenna, receiving both a left-hand circularly polarized wave and a right-hand circularly polarized wave, has a function of polarization diversity. A square-shaped empty room is located on the inside of the microstrip radiator so that the size has been reduced. And slots are added around feeding point to improve input matching. Also, amplifier and switching circuitry are placed at the empty room to increase antenna gain and to select one of the circular polarizations, respectively. The proposed antenna has been applied to GPS(global positioning system). The measurement results show that it has 10dB-impedance bandwidth, 3dB axial bandwidth of about 50MHz, 3dB beamwidth of 90degree, and gain of 13dBi, respectively, for RHCP. Also, it has 3dB axial bandwidth of about 50MHz, 3dB beamwidth of 84 degree, and gain of 12dBi, respectively, for LHCP.

This paper proposes an aperture coupled circular polarized patch antenna operating at ISM band(5GHz). For improving the characteristic and performance of broadband and circular polarization at single circular polarized patch antenna. We designed and analyzed the sequentially rotated arrayed(SRA) using phase delay of 0$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, 180$^{\circ}$, 270$^{\circ}$and 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, 135$^{\circ}$. Experimental result, the SRA antenna using phase delay of 90$^{\circ}$and 45$^{\circ}$are improved at the wideband and axial ratio. Also, the SRA antenna using phase delay of 45$^{\circ}$verified that it is better bandwidth and axial ratio than the SRA antenna using phase delay of 90$^{\circ}$.

In this paper, a SWB (Super-WideBand) dipole antenna with self-complementary structure is proposed for signal intelligence. The proposed antenna consists of a self-complementary dipole antenna and a tapered balun for balanced feeding. The measured -10 dB reflection bandwidth of the proposed antenna is more than 28:1 (0.73-20 GHz) and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 3.25:1 (1.91-6.22 GHz) with RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization) at +z direction. The measured radiation patterns are omni-directional in lower frequency band and bi-directional in higher frequency band. The measured peak gain within -10 dB reflection bandwidth varies from 2.83 dBi to 7.66 dBi.

The TX/RX broadband L-type circular polarization antenna using LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) for satellite communication at K, Ka band(20～21 GHz/30～31 GHz) has been presented. This antenna has been analyzed in compensation for LTCC with relative permittivity 5.2 and could have been integrated with RF component. Also antennas on LTCC enable :o reduce loss of RF system due to integrate with RF circuits and to light weight, and thus, generally one can reduce size of the RF system. As the geometry of this antenna presented is made simple by L type of monopole antenna, it is easily manufactured by LTCC progress and enables to reduce loss.

This paper presents the analysis of the mode characteristics of an annular ring microstrip patch antenna for circular polarization with attachment mode using method of moments in the spectral domain. For a probe excitation, the input impedance are obtained by using the single mode approximation for both the $TM_{11}$ and $TM_{12}$ modes and compared with those by Vector Hankel Transform. While the $TM_{11}$ mode has a high Q, it is a poor radiating mode; the $TM_{12}$ mode is more suitable for antenna applications. It is also shown that the bandwidth of the $TM_{12}$ mode is wider than that of the $TM_{11}$ mode in terms of axial ratio for circular polarizatio

Wireless bio-signal sensing system, which is based on the principle of Doppler radar, can measure a respiration and heart rates with a periodic movement of skin and muscle near the heart. Though the sensing monostatic system using a circulator has been studied, this bistatic system can be improved by using a circular polarized antenna which has a high isolation between transmitter and receiver. In this paper, we measured the bio-signal without the direct contact with the person. The design of each system and experimental results are discussed.

In this paper we proposed a dual-frequency circular sector microstrip antenna with orthogonal polarized modes and high isolation between the two feeding ports. And then we designed a transceiver operating at 5.6 GHz for transmitting and at 5.5 GHz for receiving. The good isolation provided by the proposed antenna is used as the basis for the transmit-receive filtering of transceiver. The operating frequencies and polarization characteristics of the proposed antenna is calculated by using a cavity model. The 5-parameters and radiation patterns of the antenna are measured. A power amplifier and a low noise amplifier are designed and integrated with antenna to make a transceiver, which has about 13dB transmitting gain and about 8㏈ receiving gain.
