In this paper, we proposed the miniaturized structure of the Log-Periodic Dipole Array(LPDA) antenna for PS-LTE(Pubic Safety-Long Term Evolution) service. The length of array dipole was shortened by adding a fractal tree element with iteration to the array dipole to miniaturize the LPDA antenna. As the result, the proposed LPDA antenna was reduced up to 25 %, compared a typical LPDA antenna. To validation of the proposed LPDA antenna specification, the proposed LPDA antenna is fabricated using aluminum with 1.5 mm thickness and performances are measured. Comparison between simulation result and experiment shows good agreement.

In this paper, a compact log periodic dipole array (LPDA) antenna operating from 1 to 6 GHz is studied. Inverted-L shaped dipole elements are used to miniaturize the lateral size of an LPDA antenna and the spacing factor is also decreased to reduce the total length of the LPDA antenna. As the top-loading length of the inverted-L shaped dipole elements is increased, the width of the LPDA antenna is decreased but the bandwidth and the gain of the antenna are decreased. The fabricated compact LPDA antenna is printed on FR4 substrate With a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm, and its size is reduced to 32% in width and 49% in length compared to a standard LPDA antenna.

This paper describes a design for microstrip EMC cross dipole array antenna with circular polarization. To realize the wide bandwidth and circular polarization, the electromagnetic-coupled cross dipole is used. To obtain the uniform aperture illumination, offset technique for array is adopted. In 20-element array design, the calculated axial ratio and gain are about 0.1 dB and 9.9 dBi at 12GHz, respectively. The frequency characteristics of a fabricated 20-element array antenna are measured. The calculated results agree well with the measured ones.

A short-ended electromagnetically coupled coaxial dipole array antenna is investigated theoretically. The antenna has an advantage of structural simplicity. The integral equations are derived for the proposed structure by use of the Fourier transform and mode expansion, and the simultaneous linear equations are obtained. The slot electric field and strip current are obtained by solving the simultaneous linear equations. The effects of slot and strip numbers on the radiation efficiency, beamwidth and directivity gain of the antenna are presented.

This paper presents the design method of EMC(Electromagnetic Coupling) microstrip array antenna for CS(Communication Satellite) system. Microstrip dipole antennas are attractive elements owing to the desirable properties such as simplicity, small size and linear polarization. From the optimum simulation results by the FDTD method[1], design parameters such as EMC dipole length, width, height and offset are discussed at 12CHz. The array characteristics of 5-elements and 10-elements array are also presented. By adjusting geometry of model antenna, we can design dual polarization EMC microstrip dipole antenna for CS system. Direction of nam beam is easily tilted by the control of distance between dipole elements.

In this paper, a design method for a compact log-perio dic half-bow-tie dipole array antenna for an operation in a UWB band(3.1-10.6 GHz) is studied. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by using half-bow-tie shaped dipole elements instead of strip-type dipole elements, which are commonly used in a general log-periodic dipole array(LPDA) antenna, and by reducing the element spacing. The effects of the flare angle of the half-bow-tie elements and the spacing factor on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed log-periodic antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 2.95-11.31 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band. In addition, the length and width of the proposed antenna are reduced to 32.1 % and 18.3 %, respectively, compared to the LPDA antenna.

In this paper, the beam steering dipole phased array antenna systems for IMT-2000 base station have been designed. The designed beam steering dipole phased array antenna systems are constituted by the antenna part and the beam steering control system part. The antenna part is designed by the proposed flat dipole for the broadband characteristics, and the 8${\times}$8 dipole array antenna is constructed by the proposed flat dipole for the directional radiation pattern. Besides the vertical power divider is designed for the vertical power distribution. The beam steering control system part is designed the horizontal power divider for the horizontal power distribution, the 4-bit phase shifters and the driving circuit of phase shifters for the horizontal beam tilting. In order to evaluate a performance of the designed antenna systems, they were fabricated and the radiation characteristics were measured. From the measured results, we found that the horizontal beams were tilted by the each control signals, and the measured radiation characteristics showed good agreement with the design goals.

For the application to the direction finding(DF) antenna for V/UHF bands, circular active array composed of 9 dipole element has been investigate. For miniaturization of the overall size array, the element has been chosen to be of the top-hat dipole type. For the broadband operation over 20-1300MHz, some number of pin diodes have been inserted in each arms of each dipole element. By employing this type of each element dipole, the effective dipole length can be increased or decreased according as the inserted pin diodes is on or off. The active array antenna has been design to be directly connected to the balanced push full amplifier such that the amplifier may play a role as a balloon and may improve the sensitivity as a receiver as well. The active array antenna has been designed and fabricated. Some experimental results have been presented in comparison with simulated results.

The proposed antenna is miniaturized by using half-bow-tie shaped dipole elements instead of strip-type dipole elements, which are commonly used in general log-periodic dipole array antenna, and by reducing the element spacing. The effects of the flare angle of the half-bow-tie elements and the element spacing on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed log-periodic antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna is designed on FR4 substrate, and it operates in the frequency band of 3.05-13.96 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band.
