The inductive loaded patch antenna with suppressed radiation along the horizontal plane and enhanced broadside gain is investigated by adjusting the width and the via radius of a unit cell at a fixed length of a unit cell. The effects of the via radius and the width of the unit cell on the dispersion characteristics of the inductive loaded transmission line are investigated. The systematic study to determine the via radius and the width of the unit cell for the effective dielectric constant of the inductive loaded patch antenna close to 1 in order to suppress the radiation along the horizontal plane is presented. Inductive loaded patch antennas composed of five unit cells with resonant frequency of 5 GHz are designed and their radiation characteristics are presented. The horizontal radiation along the E-plane is greatly suppressed to less than -15 dBi when the effective dielectric constant of the inductive loaded patch antenna is slightly less than 1.

A triangular microstrip antenna with T-shaped slits is proposed for tunable dual-band applications. The proposed antenna is designed using chip capacitors as a prototype. From this result the capacitor can be replaced to a varactor diode to control capacitance value. Since the input impedance of the antenna can be varied with the value of the chip capacitors on the T-shaped slits, the resonant frequency may be changed. The return losses are better than 10 dB at the lower band of $0.78{\sim}1.21$ GHz and 20 dB at the upper band of $1.97{\sim}2.17$ GHz, respectively. This antenna has the bandwidth of about 10 MHz and 50 MHz at each band. The peak gains of the antenna yield 0 dBi at the lower band and 3 dBi at the upper band, respectively. Details of the antenna design are described, and its performances are presented and analyzed.

In this paper, we proposed reconfigurable dual polarization patch array antenna that can select two polarizations(Vertical, RHCP) using defected ground structure and Pin diode. The proposed antenna was designed arranging a circular polarization patch antenna implemented with a square microstrip patch and two slots 3x3 at 25.8mm placed, a half-wavelength of 5.8 GHz. Conect the pin diode and the capacitor to the slot diagonally placed on the ground of each antennas, and select polarization using the open/short operating according to the application of DC voltage to the pin diode. As a result of the design, the gain of the antenna is 11.7 dBi at vertical polarization and 11.6 dBic at RHCP. The axial ratio is 20.3 dB at 1.8 dB vertical polarization at RHCP. Mutual Coupling is Maximum to -20.8 dB for vertical polarization and Maximum to -30.1 dB for RHCP.

In this paper, we present RFID Tag Antenna at 433MHz which can be available for RFID system. The antenna is composed of microstrip type antenna, whose dimension could be reduced by applying fractal theory. Simulated return loss and gain at 433MHz are -20.9dB, -3dBi. But there are some deviation on the point of resonance frequency between simulated and measured results. By modifying the antenna's feeding point, we obtain - l5dB return loss and verify the utility of proposed antenna.

In this paper, a Microstrip antenna for wireless LAN is designed in HyperLAN 5GHz. The IEEE 802.11a have allocated HyperLAN band. We proposed CPW-fed antenna structure for compact antenna. This structure shows that a ground plane and a patch plane are existed at one layer. The proposed antenna is designed on FR-4 substrate with a relative dielectric constant 4.3, thickness of 1.5mm and tangent loss 0.02. The designed antenna shows that VSWR is below 2 and has good return loss below -10dB over the 5.725~5.825GHz bandwidth with HyperLAN.

We proposed a novel electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) cell-embedded antenna structure for reducing the interference that radiates at the antenna edge in wireless access in vehicular environment (WAVE) communication systems for vehicle-to-everything communications. To suppress the radiation of surface waves from the ground plane and vehicle, EBG cells were inserted between micropatch arrays. A simulation was also performed to determine the optimum EBG cell structure located above the ground plane in a conformal linear microstrip patch array antenna. The characteristics such as return loss, peak gain, and radiation patterns obtained using the fabricated EBG cell-embedded antenna were superior to those obtained without the EBG cells. A return loss of 35.14 dB, peak gain of 10.15 dBi at 80°, and improvement of 2.037 dB max at the field of view in the radiation beam patterns were obtained using the proposed WAVE antenna.

In this paper, microstrip antenna to enhance the isolation between transmitting port and receiving port under the proximity objects is proposed, and applied to the Doppler radar sensor working at 5.8GHz ISM band which detects vital signals of a human body. Two 3dB quadrature hybrids are placed around radiation patch to form a balanced structure between transmitting port and receiving port, such that it consistently provides enhanced Tx/Rx isolation and excellent return loss over nearby objects. It is theoretically analyzed and simulated to verify the validity of the proposed application. The fabricated antenna that is 2mm away from the human body, has more than 16 dB return loss and at least 30dB isolation over ISM frequency band of 5.8GHz.

Complex resonant frequency of on a uniaxial substrate with a superstrate-loaded microstrip structure is investigate. The study is performed by Galerkin’s method. The numerical convergence using sinusoidal basis function. Numerical results for the effects of anisotropy in the substrate, superstrate permittivity, in the complex resonant frequency of the rectangular microstrip structure are also presented. Half-power bandwidth are increased due to the positive uniaxial an isotropy and superstrate.

This paper proposes an antenna incorporating a bandstop filter to miniaturize the rectenna used for wireless power transmission with the emerging interest these days. To suppress the harmonics that can be re-radiated, this paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna that can suppress the harmonics while maintaining the size of the antenna by inserting a U-slot, which acts as a bandstop filter, on the ground plane of the antenna. As a result, S11 of the second harmonic(4.6GHz) was reduced from -5.61dB to -0.338dB and the efficiency was suppressed significantly from 29.76% to 1.5%. In addition, the maximum gain was reduced to -12dBi from 2.89dBi. On the other hand, at the fundamental frequency (2.45GHz), the S11 value was reduced from -18 dB to -15 dB, and the efficiency was reduced slightly from 68.2% to 60%. In the case of applying a microstrip antenna combined with the proposed bandstop filter to a rectenna, it is believed that the harmonics that degrade the performance of the rectenna can be removed effectively while reducing the large area occupied by harmonic suppression.

The proposed circular patch antenna was designed to include relative bandwidth of above 25% as designed by the FCC in the FCC in the 3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz band. The antenna was induced to have a wide band characteristic through two structures of the usual microstrip line and a microstrip line with a linear change in impedance. The proposed finally antenna was designed using an FR4_epoxy substrate with 4.7% permittivity, 0.02 of loss tangent, and 1.6 mm of thickness, and was simulated with the use of HFSS made by Ansys. Return loss at frequency, VSWR, radiation pattern and the gain of the antenna were analysed. As a result, if satisfied a return loss of -10 dB and $VSWR{\leq}2$ from 2.28 ~ 13.35 GHz, showing about the bandwidth of 11.89 GHz, and the radiation pattern was unidirectional in all bands. The antenna gain gradually increased from 2 ~ 8 GHz and had the highest gain of 7.92 dBi at 8 GHz. and the gain gradually decreased in the 9 ~ 12 GHz band.
