In this paper, a integrated structure of a two-element microstrip patch antenna with two feeds for GPS/PCS dual-band operation is proposed. The radiating element for PCS operation is a novel broad band low-profile cylindrical monopole top-loaded with a shorted meander patch, which gives linearly polarized conical radiation pattern and size reduction of patch due to meander line. The radiating element for GPS operation is a novel square-ring microstrip patch with truncated corners and slits. which provide circularly polarized broadside radiation patterns and size reduction due to slots. using dielectric substrate in GPS antenna of proposed antenna provide to improve isolation between two feeds and reduce size of patch. The proposed antenna achieves the bandwidth and polarization requirements of GPS and PCS systems.

A compact square patch antenna with reconfigurable circular polarization (CP) at 2.4 GHz is proposed. Circular polarization is generated by an arc-shaped slot on the ground plane. In order to switch the CP orientation, the current flow direction of the patch is reconfigured via the PIN diodes mounted on the slot. As the slot and bias circuit are not placed on the patch side, the proposed antenna radiates a CP wave without alteration in the main beam direction. From the experimental results, the impedance and CP bandwidths of the proposed antenna have been demonstrated for up to 80 MHz and 25 MHz, respectively.

In this paper, an ultra-wideband internal antenna for use in mobile applications is proposed. The proposed antenna has symmetrical bi-arm structures printed on the top and bottom of the substrate, and it occupies a compact area of 10 mm ${\times}$ 10 mm ${\times}$ 1 mm. The designed antenna has an impedance bandwidth from 3 GHz to 12 GHz and near omnidirectional radiation patterns over the frequency band of interest. The group delay between two antennas fabricated using the proposed design is less than 0.8 ns, and the maximum gain variation is about 3.16 dB.

This paper proposes a single-RF MIMO receiver that adopts a beam-switching antenna (BSA) instead of a conventional array antenna. The beauty of the proposed single-RF MIMO receiver with BSA is that it can be deployed in a very small physical space while achieving a full spatial multiplexing gain. Our analysis has revealed that the use of a BSA inevitably results in the spectrum spreading effect at the RF output, which in turn causes an SNR decrease and adjacent channel interference (ACI). Two novel receiver techniques are proposed to mitigate the issues of redundant sub-band suppression and ACI avoidance. Numerical analysis results verify the performance improvement from the proposed receiver techniques.

This letter presents a K-band polarization reconfigurable antenna integrated with a silicon radio frequency MEMS switch into the form of a compact package. The proposed antenna can change its state from linear polarization (LP) to circular polarization (CP) by actuating the MEMS switch, which controls the configuration of the coupling ring slot. Low-loss quartz is used for a radiating patch substrate and at the same time for a packaging lid by stacking it onto the MEMS substrate, which can increase the system integrity. The fabricated antenna shows broadband impedance matching and exhibits high axial ratios better than 15 dB in the LP and small axial ratios in the CP, with a minimum value of 0.002 dB at 20.8 GHz in the K-band.

This paper presents a novel circular fractal ring monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) hardware with dual band-notched properties. The proposed antenna consists of four crescent-shaped nested rings, a tapered feeding line at the front of the dielectric material, and a semicircular ground plane on the backside. In this design, the nested rings are used both as a radiation element and a band rejection element. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 9.03 GHz, which works efficiently in the range of 2.63 GHz-11.66 GHz with the dual notched bands of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) at 3.15 GHz-3.66 GHz and wireless local area network (WLAN) at 4.9 GHz-5.9 GHz, respectively. The antenna has a compact size of 20 mm × 30 mm × 1 mm (0.177 × 0.265 × 0.0084 λ0) and is implemented using a flame-retardant type 4 (FR4) material. It has a maximum gain of approximately 4 dB in its operating range, and experimental results support the simulation predictions with high accuracy. The findings of this study imply that the designed antenna can be utilized in UWB applications.

In this paper, we present a circularly polarized (CP) composite cavity-backed crossed dipole antenna for global positioning system (GPS) applications. We produce the CP radiation by crossing two dipoles through a $90^{\circ}$ phase delay line of a vacant-quarter printed ring, which also has a broadband impedance matching characteristic. Two techniques, insertion of meander lines in the dipole arm and arrowhead-shaped trace at its end, are employed to reduce the sizes of the primary radiation element. The compact radiator is backed by a cavity reflector to achieve a wide CP radiation beamwidth. The proposed antenna exhibits a measured bandwidth of 1.450~1.656 GHz for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) < 2 and 1.555~1.605 GHz for AR < 3-dB. At 1.575 GHz, the antenna has a gain of 7 dBic, a frontto-back ratio of 27 dB, AR of 1.18 dB, and 3-dB AR beamwidths of $130^{\circ}$ and $132^{\circ}$ in the x-z and y-z planes, respectively.

표적의 산란 측정을 위한 레이다 시스템에서 원하는 표적만의 정확한 주파수 특성을 추출하는 방법에 대 하여 연구하였다. 네트웹 분석기와 안테나 사이의 송수선단에 RF 스위치를 이용한 펄스 회로를 구성하였고 X 밴드에서의 구의 반사를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 단일 안테나 시스댐에서 문제가 되는 내부 회로와 안테나 의 반사 및 기타 불필요한 주변 선호들을 제거할 수 있음을 볼 수 있었다 안테나의 반사가 60dB 이상 감소 하며 선호 대 잡음비도 크게 향상되었다. 이와 같이 얻어진 주파수 데이터를 계산적으로 선호 처리를 하여 원하는 표적만의 주파수 득성을 뽑아내었다. 그 결과는 구의 이론적인 특성과 일치함을 보여준다. 이러한 방법들은 compact range에서의 RCS 측정과 분산 표적의 역산란 계수 측정에 직접 적용될 수 있다

본 논문은 이중 주파수에서 동작하는 소형의 PIFA(dual-PIFA)를 설계하고 각 파라미터의 변화에 따른 안테나 성능의 분석에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 안테나는 높은 주파수 성분에서 동작하는 작은 패치부분과 낮은 주파수 성분에서 동작하는 큰 패치로 구성되었다. 안테나의 크기는 실험적으로 handset 단말기에 부착하기 위하여 크기를 고정시켰다. 작은 패치의 면적, 단락 스트립 및 접은 도체판의 면적을 가변 파라미터로 설정하였고 이중의 공진 주파수(900MHz 및 1800MHz)에서 동작하게 변화시켰다. 소형 안테나는 2-layer 형태로 구형되었고 두 주파수에서의 전계강도 및 방상패턴을 알아보았다. 안테나의 각 피라미터의 변화에 따른 특성을 해석하기 위해 FDTD 기법을 이용하였다.
