In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and a sharp cutoff frequency response. To improve the cutoff response of the conventional filter, the coupling effect between two open stubs is used. The slot on the ground with conventional shunt open stubs plays an important role of increasing the stopband at a high frequency. The combination of these structures gives the filter the characteristics of an ultra-wide stopband with a prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 19.2 mm $\times$ 14.9 mm has -3 dB cutoff frequency at 1.1 GHz and -20 dB stopband from 1.5 GHz to over 30 GHz. The insertion loss is less than -0.15 dB in the passband.

The purpose of this study is to design for MOB antenna attached on safety helmet using microstrip patch antenna. The patch antenna is fabricated in 0.2 mm FR-4 substrate with $64{\times}64mm$ size. The proposed antenna is based on a slot-ring design which cover Inmarsat (1.52 ~ 1.65 GHz) and GPS (1.575 GHz) frequency band. To obtain the optimized parameters, HFSS simulator is used, and antenna is designed by optimized parameters. After antenna was etched, SMA connector was attached to the microstrip feeding line and the result between antenna simulation and measurement was analyzed. Proposed antenna is satisfied the -10 dB bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the 1.53 ~ 1.65 GHz.

In this paper, on aperture-coupled microstrip cylindrical dielectric resonant antenna(DRA) consisting of dielectric material with permittivity ${\epsilon}_{r}$ = 36 is designed and fabricated fir wireless LAN. First of all, the feedline length, width, slot length and width of the feeding element were calculated using the theory of microstrip transmission line. Radiation element is designed using the theory of cylindrical dielectric cavity, Resonant frequency of the fabricated cylindrical DRA is 2.449 GHz and VSWR, return loss and bandwidth is 1.009, -47 dB and 70 MHz, respectively. Front-to-back radiation ratio is about 12 dB and 3 dB beamwidth of E-plane and H-plane is 110$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ , respectively.

In this paper, to improve the bandwidth of microstrip antenna, we discussed parasitic patch structure coupled capacitively at radiating slot. To reduce the overal size of antenna,$\lambda$/4 short structure is accepted instead of $\lambda$/2 patch. Since ground plane is reduced, backward radiation is occurred. The characteristics of the designed antenna is evaluated, based on the transmission line model and the aperture analysis method. And by computer program the radiation pattern and return loss are evaluated. As simulation results, backward radiation is -15 dB. Bandwidth of constructed antenna is 167 MHz at the resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz, which is very broad, compared to conventional microstrip antennas. Therefore the proposed antenna will be suitable for very wide bandwidth communications.

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 $5.01\sim5.95\;GHz(B/W\doteqdot940\;MHz)$.

Two substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-based antennas for the application of software-defined radar are proposed and investigated herein. It is usually well known that SIWs are easily integrated, lightweight, have low insertion loss, and low interference levels compared to conventional microstrip structures. The primary function of the proposed antennas is to transmit continuous waves for indoor motion detection, with the lowest amount of loss and an appropriate amount of gain. Moreover, the results of this study show that the size of the antenna can be reduced significantly (i.e., by about 40%) by applying a meander line structure. The operating frequencies of the proposed antennas are both within the industrial, scientific, and medical band (i.e., 2.4-2.4835 GHz). Measured results of return loss are -16 dB and -20 dB at 2.435 GHz and 2.43 GHz, respectively, and the measured gain is 8.2 dBi and 5.5 dBi, respectively. Antenna design and verification are undertaken through commercially available full electromagnetic software.

Recently, it has demanded high-speed digital circuits as information increase. Therefore, electromagnetic characteristics of compact microwave circuit occurred importantly. And, the effect of the imperfect ground plane on the signal integrity and influence of coupling between two parallel lines for high-speed digital transmission line on the printed circuit board is investigated by FDTD simulations in 3-D electromagnetic analysis method. The results of FDTD simulation are compared with the ADS simulation in commercial software, analyzed lumped element of modeling and electromagnetic wave's radiation of slot as frequency. As a consequence, when the slot in the ground plane is under microstrip line, it has much effect on propagation of wave.

In general, printed antennas have a narrow bandwidth characteristic and many people want to find out the method of bandwidth improvement through complicated procedures. So we want to reform the conventional printed antenna characteristic by using the folded dipole's superiority to unit dipole. But it is hard to feed the printed folded dipole antenna, we use the CPW, which is widely used in microwave IC or MMIC applications and have many advantages to the conventional microstrip line, to feed the printed folded slot antenna. It is confirmed that the improvement in the bandwidth characteristic of CPW fed folded slot antenna, as much as 20%, through the measurement of designed and implemented antenna.

In this paper, series-fed mirostrip array anteenas with coupling-slots are prposed and their operating characteristics are analyzed based on analyzed based on analytical and experimental results. An accurate analysis method for the slot-coupled feed structure is based on using both circuit coupling between anteenas and full-wave analysis which use travling wave mode and non-traveling wave mode on feed line. The basis functions that used for the numerical analysis bas been determined depending upon the accuracy, convergence properties of the solution, and the computation time:The patch uses 3 EB mode, the slot uses 1PWS mode, and feeders use 5 PWS mode. Series-fed array antennas have been designed, built, and tested in a standing-wave configuration. Using the results of the full-wave analysis, the chebyshev array antennas consisting of 8 elements are designed and fabricated changing the amount excited to each array element by adjusting slot length and by the slot position relative to the feeder. Experiment results show that the series-fed array antenna designed by adjusting the slot position relative to the feeder is superior to that designed by slot length.
