In this paper, we propose a novel method for implementing a microstrip patch antenna with circular polarization characteristics through an asymmetric inset feed structure. The proposed method involves designing an antenna by taking advantage of the length difference of the asymmetric inset slots inserted into the antenna, as well as the lengths of additional slots incorporated into the design to achieve circular polarization characteristics. Using this approach, we designed and fabricated an antenna operating at 2.4 GHz in the S-band for satellite communication systems, utilizing a 1 mm thick FR-4 dielectric substrate. The measurement results confirmed a gain of 2dBi, an axial ratio of less than 3dB, and a reflection coefficient below -10dB in the frequency range of 2.35 to 2.43 GHz. Based on these results, it is expected that by employing the proposed method, circularly polarized antennas utilizing inset feeds can be realised, thereby making them applicable in small satellite communication systems and various wireless IoT environmental service applications that use the ISM band.

In this paper, design and fabrication for inset fed microstrip patch antennas applied to the $3{\times}3$ array CSLR and eight CSLR, respectively, to the ground plane are studied. The theoretical results are compared to the experimental results for the return loss and radiation pattern. For 'CSLR 09' antenna, the theoretical result for the resonant frequency and the return loss are 2.82 GHz and - 25.35 dB, respectively. The experimental results are obtained for a 2.885 GHz, -30.72 dB. Theoretical results for the resonant frequency and the return loss of the 'CSLR 08' antenna are 2.82 GHz, -16.77 dB, respectively, and the experimental results are obtained for a 2.885 GHz, -14.90 dB.

In this paper, we propose the CSLR(: Complementary Single Loop Resonators)-loaded inset fed patch antenna with a conducting reflector to improve the radiation patterns. Reflector of the proposed antenna is located below about ${\lambda}_0/4$ from the ground plane of the patch, the size is about two times of the patch. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on the substrate which has a dielectric constant and thickness with 2.5 and 0.787 mm, respectively. Simulation results are obtained by using the HFSS, 3D EM Solver based Finite Element Method(: FEM). The resonant frequency and matching characteristics of the antenna with reflector are substantially the same as when there is no change in the antenna without reflector, it is confirmed that radiation patterns are significantly improved by the reflector.

This paper details research on the optimized design and fabrication of a 4x4 microstrip array antenna intended for X-Band applications. The study focuses on achieving the desired resonance frequency and gain by modifying the microstrip patch and array antenna parameters, including substrate type and patch size. It presents results from designing and fabricating a 4x4 array antenna with optimum substrate materials to enhance X-Band resonance characteristics and gain. The antenna dimensions are 10mm(W)x7.4mm(L)x 0.79mm(H), with an Rogers RO 4350B dielectric substrate (ε_r=3.54) and an inset-fed feeding method to minimize antenna size. Both the single patch and 4x4 array antennas demonstrated stable SWR (<1.5) and a gain of 18.5dBi at the target frequency of 10.3GHz in simulations. The fabricated antenna showed performance consistent with simulation results. This antenna design is suitable for X-Band applications, including military, satellite communications, and biomedical fields.

In this study, we tried to find the correlation of the parameters and dual resonance of U-slot microstrip patch antenna with L-shaped Inset-feed structure and design broadband antenna using them. In the first step, we classified cases where dual resonance occurs through changes in antenna parameters that affect antenna performance. In the second step, we correlated each antenna parameter to the location and intensity of the resonance point, and 3 dB bandwidth. Next, antenna simulation confirmed the process of designing to have wide bandwidth using the correlation in the second step previously presented in the U-slot antenna case with narrow bandwidth. Finally, we fabricated a designed antenna and demonstrated the validity of antenna bandwidth broadening through the correlation analysis.

This paper presents a single and 2-patch microstrip array antenna operated on a frequency of 10.3GHz(x-band). It outlines the process of designing a microstrip patch array antenna using CST MWS. Initially, a single microstrip antenna was designed, followed by optimization using CST MWS to attain optimal return losses and gain. Subsequently, the design was expanded to create a 2×1 microstrip inset-fed array antenna for the X-band applications. The construction material is Roger RO4350B, with specific dimensions (h=0.79mm, 𝜖_r = 3.54). The achieved results include an S11 of -18dB at the resonant frequency (10.3GHz), a gain of 9.82dBi, a bandwidth of 0.165GHz, and a 3-dB beamwidth of 30°, 121° in Az(𝜑=0) and El(𝜑=90) plane, respectively. The future plan involves the fabrication of this array antenna and further expansion to a 4×4 array of microstrip antennas. It is then incorporated on the X-band applications for practical uses.

In this paper, we present, an indstrial RFID layered microstrip patch antenna is designed using an inset feed method in order to improve recognition rates in a long distance as tags are attached to metal object by improving a problem of feeding power in fabricating metal tags and reducing effects of metallic object. The inset feed shows a distinctive characteristic that has no separation between emitters and feed lines differing from a structure with the conventional inductive coupling feed. This structure makes possible to produce a type that presents a low antenna height and enables impedance coupling for tag chips. Although it shows a difficulty in the impedance coupling due to increases in the parasite capacitance between a ground plane and an emitter in an antenna according to decreases in the height of a tag antenna, it may become a merit in designing the tag antenna because the antenna impedance can be determined as an inductive manner if a shorted structure is used for feeding power. Therefore, in this paper the microstrip patch antenna is designed as a modified type and applies the inset feed in order to reduce effects of metallic objects where the antenna is be attached. Also, the antenna uses a multi-layer structure that includes a metal plate between radiator and ground instead of using a single layer.

In this paper, we designed a tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS switches. The design and simulation of the antenna were performed using a high frequency structure simulator(HFSS). The antenna was designed for use in the ISM band and either operates at 2.4 GHz or 5.7 GHz achieving -10 dB return-loss bandwidths of 20 MHz and 180 MHz, respectively. In order to obtain high efficiency and improve the ease of integration, a high resistivity silicon(HRS) wafer on a glass substrate was used for the antenna. The antenna achieved high gains: 8 dB at 5.7 GHz and 1 dB at 2.4 GHz. The RF MEMS DC contact switches were simulated and analyzed using ANSYS software.
