In this paper, a monopole type antenna applicable to WLAN and WiMAX standard frequency bands is designed and fabricated. The proposed antenna is designed to have rectangular ring and rectangular patch based on microstrip feeding for triple band characteristics and inserted two stub in the top of the rectangular ring patch to enhance impedance bandwidth characteristics. The proposed antenna has $18.0mm(2W_1+W_2){\times}33.0mm(L_7+L_8+L_9)$ on a dielectric substrate of $27.0mm(W_1){\times}44mm(L_1){\times}1.0mm$ size. From the fabrication and measurement results, impedance bandwidths of 660MHz (2,08 to 2.74GHz) for 2.4/2.5MHz band, 488MHz (3.40 to 3.88GHz) for 3.5MHz band, and 2,180MHz (4.61 to 6.79GHz) for 5,000MHz band were obtained based on the impedance bandwidth. The proposed antenna also obtained the measured gain and radiation pattern in the anechoic chamber.

In this paper, we propose an equivalent model of array antennas that use open-ended waveguides for effective EM simulation. We first investigate an individual element that consists of an open-ended waveguide and square ground plane. The waveguide length, aperture size, and ground size of the individual element are adjusted to give a similar radiation pattern to that of the individual element of the original antenna. We then apply the designed equivalent model to two different types of array antennas, such as a microstrip patch array and a waveguide array antenna. Comparison of the simulation results using the equivalent model with the results obtained with the original antenna reveals a difference in gain of less than 0.2 dB and a difference in half power beam width(HPBW) of less than $1^{\circ}$. The designed equivalent model is then mounted on a simple aircraft, and the simulation results are again compared to results from the original antenna. We find a 60 % reduction in simulation resources and time when compared with the original antenna model.

In this paper, Quad-Band small antenna for GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, DCS1900 is designed and fabricated. The antenna achieved the size reduction of over 67.9 % than the conventional PIFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) by using a MD(Magneto-Dielectric) material. A simple feeding microstrip line is used to feed the antenna from a $50{\Omega}$ coaxial line, which is capacitively coupled to the grounded patch structure for broadband characteristics. The impedance bandwidth the proposed antenna shows good results as broadband characteristics of 1341 MHz (801 ~ 2142 MHz) in VSWR < 3 (${\leq}\;-6\;dB$) and the gain is -6.67 ~ 4.25 dBi in the operating frequency.

In this paper, a low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity backed antenna in order to improve the performances of radiation and bandwidth for the antenna with high relative dielectric constant is proposed. Low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity consisted of several ground planes with closely spaced metallic vias connected. It is shown that the size of a low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity has the effects on the performances of radiation and bandwidth for the antenna. The proposed 2x4 low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity backed antenna is $10{\times}20\;mm^2$ in size. Measured results show antenna gain of $11.8{\sim}14.1\;dBi$ and bandwidth of 13 %(7.9 GHz) in the $57{\sim}64\;GHz$ band.

This paper presents a procedure to optimize the design of 70GHz band array antenna for automotive short range radar sensor applications using Chebyshev polynomials. SRR(: Short Range Radar) systems require a wide angle width and low Side lobe level to detect targets within close proximity while ensuring a high Field of View(FoV). The optimized antenna operates in the 76 to 81GHz frequency range, and to reduce the antenna size, we arranged 12 patches in series, achieving an SLL of 10dB, angle with of 112.5o, gain of 15.4dB and an input return loss of less than -10dB at 78GHz. In this paper, we proceed with antenna design for SRR using Chebyshev polynomials, and present an optimal design for antenna structures to be used in MRR(: Medium-Range Radar) and LRR(: Long Range Radar) applications based on this paper

A GPS receiving antenna installed in the missile's warhead is designed and fabricated at a center frequency 1.575 GHz. The circular shaped antenna is installed in the middle of the warhead where the antenna's patch and the ground plane are connected with a hollow cylindrical shaped short pin. Using the dual feeding and phase difference method, an omni-directional radiation pattern which direction is normal to the missile's axis(H-plane) is obtained. The optimized diameters of the circular patch and the cylindrical ring typed shorting pin of the GPS receiving antenna which use the FR4.material(dielectric constant $\varepsilon_r=4.6$) are 59.5 mm and 14 mm, respectively. The cylindrical body with diameter 100 mm and height 500 mm is attached to the lower part of the warhead in order to complete the missile figure. The radiation patterns are measured by changing the angle and phase between the dual feeding points. When the phase difference of dual feeding is $100^{\circ}$ and the angle between the dual feeding points is $100^{\circ}$, the nearly omni-directional radiation pattern in the H-plane is obtained. In this case, the antenna gain is -5.55 dBd and the relative level difference between the maximum and the minimum radiation intensity is 3.98 dB.

This study suggests new antenna design for polarization diversity. For dual polarization, two port feeding lines are printed on two separate layers and cross-shaped aperture is located on ground between the substrates. For reducing back radiation, a reflector is attached around $\lambda$/4 behind feeding substrates. For wide bandwidth we use a perturbed patch with saw tooth shaped. This perturbation effect causes reduction of antenna size and also reduction of array size. With the antenna proposed here, $1\times4$ array dual polarization antenna for polarization diversity of PCS base station is built. One single element has as large as 10.3%, 11.3% bandwidths at each port, V.S.W.R less than 1.3 and the isolation is less than -40 dB, also array antenna has 13.2% 12.7% band bandwidth, V.S.W.R less than 1.3 the isolation below -36dB and the XPD of 10 dB.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a wide-band and high gain antenna which can integrate a standard of IEEE 802.1la$(5.15\sim5.25\;GHz,\;5.25\sim5.35\;GHz,\;5.725\sim5.825\;GHz)$. We inserted a parallel dual slot into a rectangular patch to have wide-band, and we offset an element of capacitance from the slot by using coaxial probe feeding method. We also designed a converter of $\lambda_g/4$ impedance with taper type line so that wide-band impedance can be matched easily. We finally designed structure with $2\times2$ array in order to improve the antenna gain, and the final fabricated antenna could have a good return loss(Return loss$\leq$-10 dB) and a high gain(over 13 dBi) at the range of $5.01\sim5.95\;GHz(B/W\doteqdot940\;MHz)$.

The high-$T_c$ Superconducting (HTS) antenna which consists of "H" type resonator has the benefits for the miniaturization of antenna in comparison with the microstrip antenna of the similar dimension. To fabricate the "H" type antenna, HTS $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin films were deposited on MgO substrates using rf-magnetron sputtering. Standard etching processes were performed for the patterning of the "H" type antenna. For comparison between normal conducting antennas and superconducting antennas, the gold antennas with the same dimension were also fabricated. An aperture coupling was used for impedance matching between $50{\Omega}$ feed line and HTS radiating patch. The diverse experimental results were reported in terms of the resonant frequency, the return loss and the characteristics impedance. The "H" type superconducting antenna showed the performance of 1.36 in SWR, 24% in efficiency, and 14.6 dB in the return loss superior of the normal conducting counterpart.

A new metamaterial antenna with dual resonant modes is presented using an asymmetrical periodic arrangement for orthogonal radiation patterns. The proposed antenna produces two orthogonal modes by the asymmetrical periodic unit-cell arrangement. The orthogonal resonant mode provides perpendicular radiation patterns without changing the antenna polarization at each resonant mode. The fabricated antenna shows good agreements with the theoretical analysis of the electric-field. The experimental results shows the orthogonal radiation patterns along x- and y-axises, and gains are 3.34 and 3.86 dBi at each radiating resonant mode, respectively. Additionally, slotted ground structures are embedded on the back side of the antenna in order to reduce the size and enhance the radiation efficiency of 12 % and 27 %, respectively.
