본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나의 소형화를 위해 방사 주름 원형 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나를 GPS 목적에 맞게 1.575 GHz를 중심으로 설계ㆍ제작하였다. 방사 주름 원형 패치 안테나는 평면형 패치를 3차원 방사 요철형 패치 구조로 제작함으로써, 패치 밑면에 흐르는 전류에 직각의 요철 경로를 갖게 하여 가시적인 공진 길이를 증가시켰으며, 그 결과 선형 편파인 경우 평면 원형 패치 안테나에 비하여 28 % 면적 단축율을 얻었으며, 원형 편파의 경우 27.7 %면적 단축율을 나타내었다. 이때 이득 2.1 dBd, 축비 1.3 dB, 2 dB 축비 대역폭 15 MHz(0.9 %)를 나타내어 소형화된 GPS용 수신안테나로써 적합한 특성을 나타내었다.

In this paper, a design for a novel microstrip antenna with circular polarization diversity is proposed and experimentally investigated. This antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is located at the corner of a circular patch. The polarization state can be switched electrically by setting a diode to on or off. The novel structure we describe here enables the optimization of the input match for both polarizations. From the measured result, good axial ratios are observed at the operating frequencies.

본 논문에서는 설계 주파수인 1.575 GHz 에서 동작하는 마이크로스트립 안테나의 패치 크기 ( 공진 길이 )를 줄이기 위하여 패치의 양단 끝부분을 음각으로 구성하여 perturbation 효과를 적용한 3 차원 구조의 모자형 원형 마이크로스트립 안테나를 고안 및 설계하였다. 그 결과 반사 손실 - 26.59 dB, -10 dB 대역폭 65 MHz(4.13 %), 이득 4.66 dBd, - 3 dB 빔폭 E, H-면 각각 $79^{\circ},\;87^{\circ}$의 특성을 나타내었으며, 안테나 직경은 85 mm로 평면형의 97 mm에 비해 12 mm(12.4 %) 단축되어 23.2 %의 면적 축소율을 얻었다. 또한 패치의 크기를 더욱 소형화시키기 위하여 최적화시킨 양각 대 음각의 비와 점근선 각도를 조정하여 설계 주파수에서 동작하는 선형 편파 및 원형 편파 야구공형 원형 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 선형 편파의 경우, 패치 직경은 74 mm로 평면형에 비해 41.8 %의 면적 축소율을 얻었으며, 원편파의 경우, 패치 직경이 82 mm로 평면형 선형 편파에 비해 28.5 %의 면적 축소율을 얻었다. 이로써 원형 마이크로스트립 안테나의 소형화에 perturbation 효과 적용이 유효함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 원형 슬롯 안테나가 광대역 특성을 갖기에 적합한 급전 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 방사 소자로써 원형 슬롯을 가지며, 급전 구조는 일반적인 50 $\Omega$ 마이크로스트립 급전 선로 종단에 원형 패치가 있는 형태로 이루어져 있다. 제안된 안테나를 시간 영역 유한 차분법 (FDTD method)을 이용하여 최적화한 후, 제작.측정하였다. 논문에서 제안한 안테나는 VSWR < 2를 기준으로 최대 1.94 octave의 광대역 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 기존에 발표된 마이크로스트립 슬롯 안테나보다 더욱 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 것이다.

This paper presents the design of linear and circular polarization baseball- shaped circular microstrip antenna (BCMA) with 3-dimensional structure using perturbation effect to reduce its size, which runs at 1.575GHz frequency bandwidth. As a result, the size of linear polarized antenna could be reduced up to 23.7% in patch diameter and 41.8% in its area. Linear polarized antenna has -26.04dB of return loss, 69MHz(4.38%) of -l0dB bandwidth, 4.51dBd of gain, and its -3dB beamwidth are 99$^{\circ}$ in E-plane, 83$^{\circ}$ in H-plane. Circular polarized antenna has -17.43dB of return loss, 113.7MHz(7.2%) of -l0dB bandwidth, 2dBd of gain, 2dB of axial ratio and its -3dB beamwidth are 87$^{\circ}$, 86$^{\circ}$ x-axis polarized, 80$^{\circ}$, 84$^{\circ}$ y-axis polarized. It has 82mm of diameter, which is 28.5% of linear polarized CMPA. Therefore, in this paper we verified that baseball-shaped 3-dimensional structure of circular microstrip patch antenna applied with perturbation effect is appropriate for miniaturization.

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.

A design method for a compact square loop antenna fed by a microstrip (MS) line for indoor digital television (DTV) applications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a square loop, circular sectors, and an MS line. The square loop combined with circular sectors is printed on one side of a substrate, and a $75-{\Omega}$ MS line is printed on the other side. The circular sectors are used as a wideband balun or transition to connect the MS line and the square loop. A prototype of the proposed square loop antenna operating in the DTV band (470-806 MHz) is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna has the desired impedance characteristics in the frequency band of 464-1,220 MHz (89.8%) for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of <2 covering the DTV band, and a broadside gain of 0.8-3.3 dBi in the DTV band.

This paper proposes a design of small controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) arrays using circular microstrip loops with frequency-insensitive characteristics. The proposed array consists of seven identical upper and lower circular loops that are electromagnetically coupled, which results in a frequency-insensitive behavior. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed feeding mechanism, the proposed array is fabricated, and its antenna characteristics are measured in a full-anechoic chamber. The operating principle of the proposed feeding mechanism is then interpreted using an equivalent circuit model, and the effectiveness of the circular loop shape is demonstrated by calculating near electromagnetic fields in proximity to the radiator. The results confirm that the proposed feeding mechanism is suitable to have frequency-insensitive behavior and induces strong electric and magnetic field strengths for higher radiation gain in extremely small antenna arrays.

A novel compact circular polarization operation of the microstrip antenna with four-slits and T-slits is proposed. The mechanism for compact size antenna is investigated with the behavior of the currents on the radiating patch. The equivalent surface current path due to the slits is lengthened, reducing the resonant frequency at a fixed patch size. The proposed compact CP design can have an antenna size reduction of about 33 ∼ 45％ as compared to the conventional microstrip antenna. Details of the experimental and measured results are presented and analysed.
