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.

In this paper, we have studied the improvement of gain and bandwidth characteristics by using double feeding and L-shaped inset feed line matching circuit in microstrip stacked patch antenna which is widely used to broaden the gain of general microstrip antenna. The proposed structure is composed of two feeding edges of the main patch antenna, each of them are connected to a feeding line having an L shaped inset feeder. And the parasitic patch is placed at a proper distance above the main patch. The size of the main patch is designed so that the resonance frequency is close to the center frequency of the target frequency band. The experimental results show that the bandwidth was increased more than 180MHz in the 2.3-2.7 GHz band, which is more interesting than the single feed, and the gain improvement of 2.5dBi was obtained at 2.7GHz.

A compact and broadband $4\times1$ array antenna was developed for 3G smart antenna system testbed. The $4\times1$ uniform linear away antenna was designed to operate at 1.885 to 2.2GHz with a total bandwidth of 315MHz. The array elements were based on the novel broadband L-probe fed inverted hybrid E-H (LIEH) shaped microstrip patch, which offers 22% size reduction to the conventional rectangular microstrip patch antenna. For steering the antenna beam, a commercial variable attenuator (KAT1D04SA002), a variable phase shifter (KPH350SC00) with four units each, and the corporate 4-ways Wilkinson power divider which was fabricated in-house were integrated to form the beamforming feed network. The developed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 17.32% $(VSWR\leq1.5)$, 21.78% $(VSWR\leq2)$ with respect to center frequency 2.02GHz and with an achievable gain of 11.9dBi. The design antenna offer a broadband, compact and mobile solution for a 3G smart antenna testbed to fully characterized the IMT-2000 radio specifications and system performances.

The L-shaped strip is shown to be an attractive feed for the thick microstrip antenna (thickness around 10% of the operating wavelength). The L-strip incorporated with the radiating patch introduces a capacitance suppressing some of the inductance introduced by the strip itself. In this paper, a wideband microstrip patch antenna fed by L-strip for the PCS (1,750~1,850 MHz) and IMT-2000 (1,920~2,170 MHz) broad-band is presented. A two-element array fed by L-strip is also proposed. Both the antennas have stable radiation patterns across the passband. The impedance bandwidth is over 31% (VSWR < 1.5, 615 MHz) of the center frequency. Moreover, both the antennas have about 7 dBi average gain.

A simple planar heptaband antenna with a coupling feed for 4G mobile applications is proposed. This antenna consists of a folded monopole and a feed strip line on the top plane and an L-shaped line with a coupling plate on the bottom plane. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth to cover the LTE/GSM/UMTS heptaband operation. The measured 6-dB return loss bandwidth is 152 MHz (820-972 MHz) in the lowfrequency band and 1,150 MHz (1,600-2,750 MHz) in the high-frequency band. The overall dimensions of the proposed antenna are $60mm{\times}105mm{\times}1.2mm$.

The presented antenna, simply consisting of a circular-arc-shaped stub, an L-shaped stub, a microstrip feed line, and a rectangular ground plane has a compact size of $16mm{\times}38.5mm$ and is capable of generating three separate resonant modes with very good impedance matching. The measurement results show that the antenna has several impedance bandwidths for S11 ${\leq}$ -10 dB of 260 MHz (2.24 GHz to 2.5 GHz), 320 MHz (3.4 GHz to 3.72 GHz), and 990 MHz (5.1 GHz to 6.09 GHz), which can be applied to both 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands and 3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX bands. Moreover, nearly-omni-directional radiation patterns and stable gain across the operating bands can be obtained.

In this paper, a dual polarized broadband antenna fed by L-shaped strip for the Korea PCS band and W-CDMA band is presented. To analyze the characteristics of the designed antenna, we used commercial simulation tool(HFSS). The designed antenna was fabricated and measured using HP8753D vector network analyzer. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR<1.5) is 560 MHz and the measured average gain is 6.56 dBi. The measured isolation characteristic between two ports is -14 dB(min.) $\sim$ -40 dB(max.). These results are proper for the mobile communication application and repeater antenna.

In order to validate the variable aperture channel model that can deal with the non-uniform How rate in flow domain, migration experiments of conservative tracer were performed in two artificial fractures, a parallel and a wedge-shaped fracture. These different fracture shapes were designed to give different flow pattern. The fractures were made from a transparent acrylic plastic plate and a granite slab with dimensions of 10 $\times$ 61 $\times$ 61 cm. Uranine (Fluorescein sodium salt) was used as a conservative tracer. The volumetric flow rates of uranine feed solution were 30 mL/ hr, giving a mean residence time in the fracture of approximately 24 hours for the parallel fracture and 34 hours for the wedge-shaped fracture. The migration plumes of uranine were photographed to obtain profiles in space and time for movement of a tracer in fractures. The photographed migration plume was greatly affected by the geometric shape of fractures. The variable aperture channel model could have predicted the experimental results for the parallel fracture with a large accuracy. It is expected that the variable aperture channel model would be effective to predict the transport of the contaminant, especially, with the flow rate variation in a fracture.
