This paper proposes the design of microstrip patch antennas for dual-band polarization adjustment. The antenna has a multi-layer structure for dual-band operation, and each layer contains a resonating patch with surrounding strips separated into two parts. The antenna polarization is adjusted by varying the separated positions of the strips, while fixing other design parameters. To demonstrate the feasibility, an antenna sample with right-hand circular polarization is fabricated, and its antenna characteristics are measured in a full anechoic chamber. The operating principle of polarization adjustment in the dual frequency bands is also verified by observing near electromagnetic fields and the magnetic surface current density around the antenna.

본 논문에서는 UMTS Tx 대역(1.92~1.98 GHz)과 Rx 대역(2.11~2.17 GHz)에서 동작하는 이중 대역 E 슬롯 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나 사이의 격리도 향상을 위한 EBG 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 EBG 구조는 이중 대역에서 두 안테나 사이의 격리도를 향상시키기 위하여 서로 다른 크기의 변형된 버섯 모양(mushroom-type) 구조로 단위 셀들을 배열하였다. 제안된 구조는 패치 안테나와 접지 면을 공유하지 않으며, 설계되어진 단위 셀의 크기는 각각 $15.6mm{\times}4mm$, $17.4mm{\times}4mm$이다. 제안된 안테나의 전체 크기는 $210.5mm{\times}117mm$이고, FR-4(비유전율=4.6, 기판 두께= 3.93 mm) 기판 상에 설계되어졌다. 제작된 안테나의 측정 결과, 제안된 EBG 구조의 사용으로 UMTS Tx 대역과 Rx 대역에서 각각 9 dB, 12 dB의 격리도 향상을 나타내었다.

For dual-band operation, it can be done by loading two pair of narrow slots in the equilateral-triangular patch, one embedded close to the side edges of the patch and the other inserted at the bottom edge of the patch. The obtained two operating frequencies are of same polarization planes. The frequency ratio of the two operating frequencies is turnabled by varing the positions and lengths of the inserted slots at the bottom edge of the patch. In this paper, A single-feed equilateral-triangular microstrip patch with two pairs of narrow slot for dual-frequency operation is printed on the substrate(TMN-4 Rosers Co.) of the 60 miles. the antenna radiation characteristics are calculated by Ensemble ver. 5.0 software, and compared with the experimental results.

Spurred by the constant pressure to achieve miniaturization, researchers have designed many different types of compact antennas. One such type is the slotted patch antenna used for dual band operation. In this paper, we propose a novel method of selecting the feeding point of the antenna, which results in superior antenna performance in terms of return loss. Computer simulations verify the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, the wideband microstrip patch antennas for the Personal communications Service $(PCS\;:\;1750\~1870\;MHz)$ and International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 $(IMT-2000\;:\;1920\~2170\;MHz)$ dual band are studied. Experimental and simulation results on the dual band antenna are presented. Simulation results are in good agreement with measurements. The experimental and simulation results confirm the wideband characteristics of the antenna. The studied antenna satisfied the wideband characteristics that are required characteristics for above 420 MHz impedance bandwidth for the PCS and IMT-2000 dual band antenna. In this paper, through the designing of a dual band antenna, we have presented the availability for PCS & IMT-2000 base station antenna. An impedance bandwidth of $31\%(VSWR<1.5,\;615\;MHz)$ and a maximum gain of 7dBi can be achieved. The radiation pattern is stable across the passband.

본 논문에서는 GPS $L_1(1.575GHz)$과 $L_2(1.227GHz)$ 대역을 수용할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 이중대역 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 주파수대역 간격이 큰 이중대역 특성을 확보하기 위해 제안된 안테나는 반 파장($L_2$ 대역) 패치 안테나의 윗면에 ${\lambda}/4$($L_1$ 대역)크기의 역 L형 기생소자들을 방사 개구면 양측에 적층하였다. 패치 소자와 기생소자들 간의 커플링을 통하여 공진시킴으로써 선형편파 이중대역 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 다음으로 GPS의 경우 원형편파를 사용하기 때문에 패치 상에 ${\lambda}/4$($L_1$ 대역) 역 L형 기생소자를 서로 직각으로 시퀀셜 로테이션 기법을 이용하여 적층 시키고, 안테나의 한쪽 대각선 양 끝을 절개하여 원형편파 이중대역 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계하였다. 이렇게 설계된 원형편파 안테나의 크기는 $0.43{\lambda}L{\times}0.43{\lambda}L{\times}0.06{\lambda}L$ (여기에서 ${\lambda}L$은 1.227 GHz의 공기 중 한 파장)로 2중 구조 자세를 유지시켰다. -10 dB 대역폭은 GPS $L_1$대역에서 120 MHz(7.6%), GPS $L_2$대역 82.5 MHz(6.7%)로 측정되었으며, 3 dB 축비 대역폭은 172 MHz(10.9%)와 25MHz(2.03%)로 각각 측정되어, 모두 GPS $L_1$과 $L_2$ 대역의 요구대역폭(각각 24 MHz)을 만족한다. 한편 방사 패턴은 모든 주파수에서 마이크로스트립 안테나와 같은 브로드 사이드 패턴 형태를 형성하였다.

Applications in present-day mobile communication systems particularly require miniaturized dimensions and low-profiles of antenna in order to meet the mobile units. Thus, size reductions and bandwidth enhancements are becoming crucial design considerations for practical applications of microstrip antennas. The motivation of further experiments have been stepped to follow those studies for achieving compact and broadband, even multiplied operation modes, which are greatly increased with much attentions recently. To obtain broadband, single-feed, circularly polarized characteristics of microstrip antennas, a design with feed-line ought to be a factor of two. Usually, diagonally balanced-line feeds with hybrid coupler are employed to attain circular polarizations. We firstly formulated DGS (Defected Ground Structures) based operation principles of the entire microstrip components and therefore were able to derive impedance variance of feed-lines. After verifying corresponding experimental results, we targeted the frequency bands of UHF RFID (Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency IDentification) and approximately of 0.4-2.4GHz have exhibited remarkable two resonance amplitudes as a dual band antenna. Our secondary researches were aimed to design quad band microstrip antenna which represents four resonance characteristics within the identical frequency bands as well. Microstrip patch has been meandered to lengthen the electrical paths, and the other design criteria with respecting physical parameters including radiation patterns and impedance bandwidths measurements will be described for verification. Advisable applications of these antennas can be GSM850, GSM900, GPS (L1-1575 and L2-1227) and UMTS-2110 of cellular systems, which extremely desire multiband and minimum size.

A suspended microstrip line structure over mushroom-like SMPs is designed and is applied to a dual-frequency and dual-polarization microstrip patch antenna. This structure has a distinctive and sharp rejection band and provides near 0 dB insertion loss outside the rejection band. Applying the structure to the conventional DFDP antenna enhanced the isolation between the two ports more than 20 dB. The structure is expected to have a wide range of applications in antennas and filters due to its compactness and integrability in circuits.
