Mutual coupling between antenna elements of a linear microstrip patch antenna array positioned along the H-plane including the effect of edge reflections is investigated. Simple formulas are presented for the estimation of the grounded dielectric substrate size with minimum mutual coupling. The substrate sizes calculated by these formulas are in good agreement with those obtained by the full-wave simulation and experimental measurement. The substrate size with minimum mutual coupling is a function of the effective dielectric constant for surface waves and the distance between the antenna centers. The substrate size with minimum mutual coupling decreases as the effective dielectric constant for surface waves on a finite grounded dielectric substrate increases.

In this paper, a Dolph-Tschebyscheff type Microstrip array patch Antenna was designed and simulated with a commercial tools. Then we fabricated an Antenna and took a measurement of the radiation pattern of the Antenna in the Anechoic Chamber room. Despite of the same case, each simulation using commercial tools showed some different results. The simulation using the Microwave Studio gave more desirable result than the ADS. We found the error of the progress of production.

Radiation characteristics of $5{\times}4$ pin array patch antennas are compared to those of $5{\times}2$ pin array patch antennas for several substrate thicknesses using the computer simulation. Since the number of unit cells of a $5{\times}2$ pin array patch antenna is half of that of a $5{\times}4$ pin array patch antenna, the number of pins used in a $5{\times}2$ pin array patch antenna is half of that in a $5{\times}4$ pin array patch antenna and the patch width of a $5{\times}2$ pin array patch antenna is very small compared to that of a $5{\times}4$ pin array patch antenna. However, the radiation characteristics of a $5{\times}2$ pin array patch antenna are almost similar to those of a $5{\times}4$ pin array patch antenna.

In this paper, we proposed a microstrip patch array antenna for DBS reception which had high gain and high tilted angle through mutual coupling driver patch to parasitic patch in H-plane edge and broadside direction in different layers. It was designed and fabricated in 16$\times$8 array by using low cost polyester based copper-clad laminate and foam instead of high cost dielectric substrate. It had gain of 22.9 dBi, beamwidth of 4.6$^{\circ}$, and tilted angle from broadside direction of 43.9$^{\circ}$.

In this paper, we studied the design and fabrication of $2{\times}2$ microstrip array antenna at around 5 GHz band.. To improve of frequency properties of antenna, feed microstrip patch antenna was simulated by HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). A $2{\times}2$ array antenna was designed and fabricated by photolithograph on an FR4 substrate (dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm). The fabricated $2{\times}2$ array antenna showed a center frequency, the minimum return loss and bandwidth were 5.3 GHz, -24dB, and 390MHz, respectively.

In this paper, a conformal type $1{\times}4$ microstrip patch array antenna with tilted antenna beam is presented for UWB sensor applications. Each antenna element comprises E-shaped patch with L-probe feeding to increase the bandwidth. The tilted antenna beam of 20 degree can be achieved with 42 ps microstrip delay lines at the series feeding network with T-junctions. The measured reflection coefficient is >9 dB at 3.5~4.5 GHz. The measured antenna gain and HPBW are >10 dBi and <30 degree at 3.75~4.25 GHz.

In this paper, microstrip array antenna with the phase lock are designed to consist of main lobe and sidelobe with difference 21.97dB for sharp beam pattern using Tchebyscheff polynominals. Microstrip array antenna with phase lock of 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$ are designed, to scan beam for 0$^{\circ}$, 6$^{\circ}$, 12$^{\circ}$ to be 1:2:2:1 for the relative current distribution. The designed microstrip array antenna with phase lock is measured in terms of various characteristics such as return loss, resonant frequency, radiation pattern, bandwidth, beamwidth, and the measurement value and theoretical value agreed with each other. Also, the patch array antenna with the relative current distribution is presented phase shift for beam scanning.

The effect of substrate size on the radiation characteristics of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna with an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) as unit element is investigated. The distance between the patch center and the substrate edge on the E-plane ($d_E$) and that on the H-plane ($d_H$) at which the maximum broadside gain of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna occurs are the same to those of single ACMPA using a unit element. Besides, $d_E$ and $d_H$ at which the minimum broadside gain of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna occurs are almost the same to those of single ACMPA using a unit element. The edge effect on the radiation characteristics of an H-plane 5-elements linear array antenna is mainly determined by $d_E$. The optimum substrate size for the radiation characteristics of an H-plane linear array antenna could be obtained from that of single ACMPA using a unit element of an H-plane linear array antenna.

In this paper, we have designed circularly polarized array antenna for 5.8GHz microwave wireless power transmission. To obtain high antenna gain, we studied a single patch antenna, a $2{\times}1$ array antenna, a $2{\times}2$ array antenna, a $2{\times}4$ array antenna, and a $4{\times}4$ array antenna. Commonly, characteristics of each antenna have a frequency of 5.8 GHz and Right Hand Circular Polarization(RHCP) of circular polarization. Also, the results were obtained with the design to each antenna that the return loss was less than -10dB and the axial ratio was less than 3dB. The gain of the antennas was 6.08dBi for a single patch antenna, 9.69dBi for a $2{\times}1$ array antenna, 12.99dBi for a $2{\times}2$ array antenna, 15.72dBi for a $2{\times}4$ array antenna and 18.39dBi for a $4{\times}4$ array antenna. When the elements of the array antenna were increased, it was confirmed that it increased by about 3dBi.

To develop the grain moisture meter using microwave free space transmission technique, a 10.5GHz microwave signal with the power of 11mW generated by an oscillar with a dielectric resonator is transmitted to an isolator and radiated from a transmitting $2{\times}2$ microstrip patch array antenna into the sample holder filled with the 12 to 26%w.b. of Korean Hwawung paddy rice. the microwave signal, attenuated through the grain with moisture, is collected by a receiving $2{\times}2$ microstrip patch array antenna and detected using a Shottky diode with excellent high frequency characteristic. A pair of light and simple microstrip patch array antenna for measurement of grain moisture content is designed and implemented on atenflon substrate with trleative dielectric constant of 2.6 and thickness of 0.54 by using Ensemble ver. 4.02 software. The aperture of microstrip patch arrays is 41 mm width and 24mm high. The characteristics of microstrip patch antenna such as grain. return loss, and bandwidth are 11.35dBi, -38dB and 0.35GHz($50^{\circ}$ at far-field pattern of E and H plane. The width of the sample holder is large enough to cover the signal between the antennas temperature and bulk density respectively. The calibration model for measurement of grain moisture content is proposed to reduce the effects of fluectuations in bulk density and temperature which give serious errors for the measurements . From the results of regression analysis using the statistically analysis method, the moisture content of grain samples (MC(%)) is expressed in terms of the output voltage(v), temperature (t), and bulk density of samples(${\rho}b$)as follows ;$$MC(%)\;=\;(-3.9838{\times}10^{-8}{\times}v^{3}+8.023{\times}10^{-6}{\times}v^{2}-0.0011{\times}v-0.0004{\times}t+0.1706){\frac{1}{{\rho}b}}{\times}100$ Its determination coefficient, standard error of prediction(SEP) and bias were found to be 0.9855, 0.479%w.b. and -0.0.369 %w.b. respectively between measured and predicted moisture contents of the grain samples.
