Even if ICS(Interference Cancellation System) repeater is used in wireless communication system, it has the disadvantage that it must have enough distance between Donor and Service antenna to be isolated. In this paper, new ICS repeater integrated antenna with high insolation characteristics is designed. The proposed antenna is fabricated for 800MHz and measured. Bandwidth and gain are optimized by changing the stub lengths near main patch and power divider, and also by changing the size of parasitic patch. This antenna has a return loss less than -13 dB, a gain over 3 dBi, and an isolation between the donor and the server antennas less than -56 dB from 824~894 MHz for CDMA mobile communication. Therefore, the proposed antenna structure can be applied to eliminate the shadow area and to expand the coverage area for any other wireless communication bands.

A cross-shaped microstripline-fed printed slot antenna having wide bandwidth Is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is analyzed by using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. It was found that the bandwidth of the antenna depends highly on the length of the horizontal and vertical feedline as well as the offset position of the feedline. The maximum bandwidth of this antenna is from 1.975 GHz to 4.725 GHz, which is approximately 1.3 octave, for the VSWR $\leq$ 2. Experimental data for the return loss and the radiation pattern of the antenna are also presented. and they are in good agreement with the FDTD results.e FDTD results.

In this study, we provide a single element log-periodic antenna that the feeding networks and array structures are aperture coupled and series dipole array type. We made the antenna for direct receiving the Moogoongwha satellite broadcasting signal. The transmission power was able to feed the patch dipole in series due to lay perpendicularly 8 series patch dipole on tapered slot. The patch dipole radiation pattern which fed in series power, make the main beam direction up $37^{\circ}{\sim}42^{\circ}$ within the BS/CS bandwidth. The main beam gain was measured 9.31~11.03 dBi. Using 32 elements to array the elements properly, we acquire $4{\times}8$ array structure on limited PCB board. As a result, it has been found that the new planar DBS antenna structure have high gain over 10dBi and acceptable elevation angle over 42 degree, and we can apply this result to commercial DBS reception antenna manufacturing.

In this paper, we study the characteristics of dual band microstip antenna with modified inset feeder and a single slot. The modified inset feeder consists of the vertical inset feeder placed in x direction and the horizontal one in y direction for shortening the total length of inset feeder. The optimun feeding position for good impedance matching at two resonant frequencies can be easily found by adjusting the horizontal inset distance. And Various frequency ratios can be simply obtained by the parameters of slot. The measurements for fabricated antenna prototypes are carried out for validation. The measured results show a tunable frequency ratio from 1.25 to 1.88 with the variation of slot parameters. It is worthwhile to point out that the radiation patterns are similar at both bands. and below -20.0 dB of cross polarization level at the E plane.

In this paper, we studied a design method for a quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) with broadband characteristics of an impedance bandwidth ratio greater than 2 : 1 and a gain > 4 dBi. The QYA is fed by a microstrip line fabricated on a coplanar strip line and it consists of 3 elements; a planar dipole, a nearby director close to the dipole, and a ground plane reflector. By placing a wide rectangular patch-type director near to the dipole driver, broadband characteristics are achieved. An optimized 3-element QYA for operation over 1.6-3.5 GHz (bandwidth ratio 2.2 : 1) is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of 90 mm by 90 mm and tested experimentally. The results show an impedance bandwidth of 1.56-3.74 GHz (bandwidth ratio 2.4 : 1) for VSWR < 2, a peak gain of 4.2-6.3 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio (FBR) > 13.6 dB within the bandwidth.

When the crew or passengers fall into the water due to marine accident of vessel, it is very important to rescue them quickly. In the case of marine accidents, most people in distress have been wearing a lifejacket, so if the GPS and Cospas-Sarsat communication module will be integrated within the lifejacket, it is easy to rescue them. In this paper, development of the dual band lifejacket-integrated antenna for GPS and Cospas-Sarsat communication is discussed. The antenna with the FR-4 substrate of 0.2mm thickness for flexibility was designed that it can be fitted close to the shoulder of the life jacket and operate at 1.575GHz and 406MHz. The GPS communication antenna was implemented with a ring-slot antenna having a circular polarized characteristic and a meander type linear polarized antenna is used as Cospas-Sarsat communication. The two antennas are fed by a single microstrip line and an open stub is used to minimize the mutual interference between the two antennas. The performance of the fabricated antenna attached to the life vest is confirmed by the measurement of the return loss at GPS and Cospas-Sarsat frequency bands.
