In this paper we designed and measured HTS antenna array for Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system. HTS antennas fabricated in this work were a four-element, 11.67 ㎓z, high-Tc superconducting (HTS) microstrip antenna array with corporate feed network and circular polarization for direct broadcas- ting satellite (DBS) system. Our antennas was designed and built on a 0.5 mm thick YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) /MgO substrate. The measurement results showed good axial ratio, wide bandwidth a remarkable improvement over their metal counterpart.

In this paper, The planar waveguide slotted antenna is presented for a satellite communication of vehicles. In stead of the microstrip patch array antenna having a dielectric loss and a feeding loss, the proposed antenna has the 3-layered waveguide feeding network structure for assembling easily. Also this antenna can receive mechanically both RHCP and LHCP transmitted from a satellite using a polarizer made from a thin single layer film. The Gain of the proposed 4X8 array antenna is 27.5dB and the gain of 8X16 array antenna is 32dB.

TX/RX dual microstrip 1$\times$8 sub-array antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured for a wideband array antennas in communications. They have a Right Handed Circular Polarization (RHCP) for TX from 7.9 to 8.4 GHz and Left Handed Circular Polarization (LHCP) for RX from 7.25 to 7.75 GHz. Two stacked patches are used for a wideband characteristics and cornertruncated square patches are adopted for a circular polarization. To enhance bandwidth characteristics of a circular polarization, 1$\times$2 sequential rotation arrays are applied. From the measured results, 1$\times$8 microstrip sub-array antennas have a good agreement with those of the simulation. Therefore the sub-array antennas are applicable to satellite communication antennas, active phased array antennas, and radiators in other antennas.

This paper proposes a circularly polarized microstrip antenna using an I-shape ground slot perturbation and a perpendicular feeding network. The proposed antenna consists of the symmetrical and perpendicular feeding and the microstrip square radiator loaded with the I-shape ground slot perturbation. The left-handed circular polarization(LHCP) formed by a 90-degree phase difference can be radiated by the perpendicular feeding network and the ground slot perturbation. An implemented antenna is designed for the use in the satellite communication system operated in S-band of 2.2 GHz, and is to be the 91 MHz of -10 dB bandwidth. The measured results of the antenna gain, far-field radiation pattern, and axial ratio agree well with the simulation results.

In this paper, the analysis and design of a spirally slotted array antenna with high efficiency are presented. Electric fields in the slots are calculated by electromagnetic fields in the upper waveguide and radiation field equations are derived. Slots are arrayed spirally on the upper circular plate of twofold radial waveguide. In order to suppress grating lobes from the array, a slow wave structure is inserted in the upper waveguide. This antenna is characterized by a good circular polarization, high efficiency of 75 percent and grating lobes below -34dB.

This study has designed a circular polarization antenna for UHF bandwidth RFID reader. As a result of performance test of the antenna designed it is found that return loss (S11) is about -45.529dB at 914MHz, which is relatively small, and antenna gain is about 6.09dBi. It has also been confirmed that $50{\Omega}$ impedance matching is about $50.48{$\Omega}$ and it can be applied to every RFID reader. Therefore, the antenna is designed to have higher gain of circular polarization by improving reception, which is one of the most important parameters of RFID reader and is expected to be extensively used to recognize multi-tag in the distance.

In this paper, we are designed and fabricated circular polarization microstrip patch antenna of 5［GH］z bandwidth for the wireless LAN and the ISM. We are proposed new structure that removed the section which intersected at a right angle and were composed to four separated slots. The antenna of proposed structure could solve parasitic elements from intersected in a right angle and weak coupling efficiency from asymmetry between feed line and a slot. The proposed cross slots antenna is easily impedance matching and increased impedance bandwidth. Also this is increased efficiency and a bandwidth of antenna and reduce back lobe of radiation pattern. We designed 2${\times}$2 array antenna of 5［GHz］ band. It took impedance bandwidth 280［MHz］(VSWR < 1.5) and gam 12.5［dBi］

In this paper, we propose a multiple slotted dual-band square patch antenna with CP(Circular Polarization) characteristic. And we present the simulation and measurement results of the design example. We designed a slotted patch antenna by using computer simulation program, Zeland IE3D, and then some tuning followed with measurements. Measured -10dB bandwidths of $S_{11}$ characteristic are 127MHz($2.346GHz{\sim}2.473GHz$) for the low-band, and 122MHz($3.379GHz{\sim}3.501GHz$) for the high-band, respectively. And measured maximum gains and half-power beamwidths are 6.94dBi, $72.95^{\circ}$ for the low-band at 2.30GHz, 5.78dBi, $76.51^{\circ}$ for the high-band at 3.45GHz, respectively.

This paper proposes the design of broadband spiral antenna for a potable non-linear junction detector (NLJD) system. To realize the broadband antenna design, it was considered optimization of the number of spiral turns by iteration calculation. Ground plane with the Archimedean spiral slit to keep the same current distribution between radiating plane and ground is considered for circular polarization design. In order to realize high directivity and high gain of the proposed antenna, the cavity wall and the metal cap which is located on back of ground plane were also considered in design. Measurement results of return loss were agreed well with VSWR 2:1 at interested frequency band among 2.4 to 2.44 GHz, 4.84 to 4.92 GHz and 7.28 to 7.36 GHz. Measured axial ratio was observed 3 dB below and showed reasonable agreement with simulation results. Characteristics of the RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization) with the measured gain of 6.8 dBi above at interested frequency band were also observed.
