New feeding structures using linearly and exponentially tapered lines to planar microstrip resonators are proposed. These can overcome the design problems from coupling losses and impedance mismatching by increasing the coupling efficiency. The variation of its feeding angle is evaluated for the insertion loss and bandwidth and the feedline length is optimized at ${\lambda}_g$/2. The ring resonators and patches fed by the tapered line have been designed and implemented. The experimental results show that the insertion loss is enhanced by about 7 dB. Both rings and antennas are better matched, without disturbing the single-mode resonance or distorting their radiation pattern

This paper presents a multi-functional microstrip spital antenna that operates in dual frequency bands. Several types of beam shape can be selected by controlling the phase difference of two spiral arms with the phase shifters located on each feed line. It has a normal beam at the lower frequency band, and four different patterns at the higher frequency band: normal beam, conical beam and two types of tilted beam. The antenna exhibits more than 10% of bandwidth at each band. The antenna is fabricated with conductor backed electromagnetic absorber in order to attain unidirectional radiation pattern and confirmed the multi-functionality by measurements.

In this paper, an antenna for telematics is proposed. It operates at GPS/GSM frequency-bands and it can be installed inside of a vehicle. There is a great difference between the proposed antenna and commonly used antennas. It needs not to use a dielectric with a high permittivity since it is formed on a sheet of FR4 with only 1mm thickness. Thus, it is possible to cut costs and make process of manufacture simple. Planar inverted-F antenna(PIFA) for GSM and microstrip antenna(MSA) for GPS is designed and PIFA-MSA antenna is proposed. The height is lower than that of commonly used antennas. And polarization of the PIFA and MSA is arranged perpendicularly for isolation improvement of each port, thus isolation of these two antennas is improved. Also, it is sufficient for the all specifications.

The effect of the finite substrate size on the radiation characteristics of H-plane linear microstrip array antennas is investigated. The radiation characteristics versus scan angle are systematically analyzed for 5-element H-plane linear array antennas with various substrate sizes and element spacings for the substrates with different dielectric constants. The distance between the antenna center and the substrate edge on the E-plane for the enhancement of the radiation characteristics of the array antenna is presented.

This paper describes a K-band microstrip patch antenna suitable for an adaptive cruise control(ACC) system. The presented transmitting and receiving patch antennas are designed with $1{\times}2$ array. The antennas are simulated using CST MWS and manufactured using RO-4003(h=0.5mm, ${\epsilon}r=3.38$). The antennas are installed on the backside of the sensor circuit and measured. The estimated gain and beamwidth are 8.5dBi and about $50^{\circ}$ respectively. The measured bandwidth is about 1GHz($VSWR{\le}2$) which satisfies the desired specification.

In this paper, a single plane wide band microstrip antenna for integrated circuit is designed and fabricated. A new configuration for a wide bandwidth is proposed. This antenna consists of two folded microstrip monopoles, which are fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW). Therefore In this paper is folded terminal part of dual microstrip line for variable reactance value. As a result compared the proposed folded dual microstrip monopole antenna with established dual microstrip monopole antennas, the proposed antenna can widen bandwidth more then about over 1[GHz. The characteristics of the proposed antenna were analyzed by using an FDTD methods. The proposed antenna has $1.98{\sim}4.05GHz$ bandwidth for using ISM, Wibro and DMB band.

To complement the narrow band characteristics of the microstrip patch antenna, the slot patch antenna was designed for the wide band characteristics. The microstrip slot patch antenna has wide band characteristics when the size of the slots and the feed line shapes are designed accordingly. In this study, various substrates as a epsilon-10, and a epoxy were used to design slot patch antennas. The feed line structure of the circular and square were also designed to have wide band. In the case of slot antennas with the circular patch shapes using epsilon-10 plate 50mm thickness with relative permittivity the 41% bandwidth on the 1.5∼2.28㎓ was shown. When an Epoxy plate 1.Sum thickness with relative permittivity 4.75 is used to construct a circular slot antenna with a square patch form, the frequency band width was obtained 77% as the 1.2∼2.7㎓ frequency range. These results are coincided well with the theoretical results.

In this paper, we fabricated transmitting and receiving antennas to realize the low cost radar using two receiving antennas and investigated their characteristics. The antennas are designed with MPA(Microstrip Patch Array) structure for the beam concentration in horizon direction and low cost and used Taylor array pattern synthesis to suppress sidelobes. As a results of measurement in the 24GHz ISM band(24.0-24.25GHz), our using band, antenna gains are placed between 15.2 dBi and 16.26 dBi which are satisfied with the design specification of higher than 15dBi and lower than 17dBi. The sidelobes are -13.15 dBc, -13.1 dBc and -12.8 dBc at the operating frequencies of 24.0 GHz, 24.125 GHz and 24.25 GHz repectively, which are satisfied with the specification of lower than -10 dBc.

Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the radiation characteristics of a microstrip patch antenna is investigated. Excellent agreements between the simulation and measured results on the radiation characteristics of patch antennas for various square substrate thicknesses and sizes are obtained. The effect of a square substrate plane on the resonant frequency and bandwidth is small, while that on the radiation pattern is large. As the substrate thickness increases, the variations of the gain of the broadside radiation, the direction of the maximum radiation, and the radiation pattern increase for the variation of a substrate size. The maximum gain difference between the broadside radiation and back radiation and the large gain of broadside radiation are obtained when the length of a side of a square substrate plane is $0.8\;{\lambda}_0$.
