In this paper, an internal TDMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) antenna for mobile phone is proposed. The overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate is 30 mm$\times$5 mm$\times$0.6 mm. The proposed antenna consists of a meander type radiator which is connected front- and back-plane of Kapton substrate by via hole and parasitic element for tuning the resonant frequency. And to compensate the electric length of desired frequency, passive inductor is used for matching element. Measured gain of the implemented antenna -17.6 dBi at 174 MHz, -13.01 dBi at 195 MHz, and -14.9 dBi at 216 MHz.

In this paper, a new compact PIFA, applicable to PCS system, is described. The central aim in design is to broaden the bandwidth within limited height of mobile phones. To overcome the narrow bandwidth characteristics, which is typical of a patch antenna, tapered type radiation patch is employed. The antenna is designed using CST microwave studio and its characteristics are compared with a basic PIFA with similar volume.

In this paper, a coupled-fed monopole antenna for LTE/WWAN mobile handset applications is presented. The antenna consists of a monopole, a coupling strip, a feeding pad, a stub, and a shorting strip. The basic resonance of the monopole combines with the resonance formed by the coupling that occurs between the coupling strip and the feeding pad to include LTE700(698~787 MHz), GSM850(824~894 MHz), and GSM900(890~960 MHz) bands. The resonance of the stub combines with the harmonics of the monopole to include GSM1800(1,710~1,880 MHz), GSM1900(1,850~1,990 MHz), and UMTS(1,920~2,170 MHz) bands. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable as antenna for hexa-band mobile handset applications, covering LTE700, GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, and UMTS bands. A stable and omni-directional radiation pattern with reasonable gains is observed within the operating bandwidth.

A small meander line antenna for T-DMB (Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is presented. The antenna proposed here is based on a typical planar meander line antenna and miniaturized by using a double sided structure. A prototype antenna is manufactured based on the simulation results and the basic performances are measured. The presented antenna designed to operate in T-DMB band (174~216MHz) and can be adopted for various mobile applications.

This paper maximizes the research on broadband characteristics by using air layer instead of using microstrip structure of radiation part with U-shaped slot patched inside and microstrip antenna in order to make the microstrip antenna to have broadband characteristics. Experimental results show that the VSWR is 1.4 or less than the mobile communication frequency band(820~950MHz) and the gain of the antenna is 8.2dBd. This means that the antenna can be miniaturized, and it can be used in the wireless communication fields, and the mobile communication fields for other frequency bands in the future.

In this paper, a 0.6~6GHz quad-ridge horn antenna which can be used for the antenna measurement of 5.8GHz WiFi system from lowest frequency band of mobile LTE (Long Term Evolution) is designed and implemented. The quad-ridge horn antenna has quadruple ridges of exponential function, a back-short and a cavity. Based on this structure, we design the cavity size, ridge gap and feed gap to have broadband characteristics. For implementation, the plates material of aluminum and copper are used for the horn and four ridges, respectively. And the insulator supports are used to maintain the gap between ridges. By measurement, antenna has the gain of 6.2~13.35dBi with the return loss of less than -6dB (under VSWR 3 : 1) in the entire design band. The results of this study can be widely used to the antenna studies on the mobile communication including low frequency band of LTE, the EMI measurement and the standard calibration measurement.

A hybrid MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) antenna which is operating both a monopole and a IFA(Inverted F Antenna) is designed. It's applied Vlade(Vertical lade) technique to reduce antenna space, and a diagonally fed MIMO antenna is designed on the bare board for the data communication. Return losses due to variables of antenna length are simulated for the design. Antenna for the hexa-frequency band of LTE700, CDMA, GSM, DCS, PCS and WCDMA is designed and implemented. This antenna is satisfied 3:1 VSWR over the whole design band by the measurement of return loss. And average gains and efficiencies were -3.67 ~ -2.53dBi and 42.06 ~ 55.84% for LTE700/CDMA/GSM frequency band, -3.27 ~ -1.21dBi and 47.08 ~ 75.6% for DCS/PCS/WCDMA frequency band. The isolation between 2 antenna that is one of important factors for the MIMO system was measured good performance as -8.14 ~ -25.77dB over the whole service band.

This paper suggests the PIFA structure modified antenna in which short-circuit plate is located between planar element and ground plane, in order to solve the problem of narrow band of existing internal antenna, PIFA. It is also suggested that internal antenna has the perturbation in the patch to broaden the frequency bandwidth. It is possible that the antenna is installed into the mobile telephone with a low profile condition(h=0.015 λ) to use internally, and acquired desired bandwidth(5.2 %) through double resonance structure, remodeling the PIFA that is already well-known as an internal antenna. This paper investigated how characteristic is affected by the feeding point(Yf, Zf), short strip plate(Zs), short strip width(Ws), perturbation width(w), length(d), short plate height(h), dielectric($\varepsilon$$\_$r/) to be slim type antenna. It is compared with existing PIFA bandwidth, and is suggested pattern as the H.E plane. It is simulated using the Microwave Studio of the CST Inc. based on FIM(Finite Integration Method) method and analyzed antenna characteristic following the variation each parameters. The result proved the practical use of PIFA antenna by comparing the measured and simulated data of the antenna.

This paper analyzes the correlations between the impedance matching of the antenna and the radiation characteristics of the mobile handset body. Using two kinds of mobile handset which has retractable and fixed antenna the impedance and radiation pattern is measured under totally 16 conditions. By measured results, it has been identified that the radiation energy into human head can be reduced by attaining the better impedance matching when the radiation pattern out of the mobile handset is like the ideal monopole antenna.

This paper describes the technique of satellite direction finding and main beam steering of the adaptive array antenna system which is used for mobile TT&C(Tracking Telemetry&Command) system. To be able to control the satellite on mobile vehicle while moving, the relative directional information of the satellite to the mobile vehicle is necessary to make main beam to the direction of satellite. To do this MUSIC, which is one of the super-resolution algorithm of wave direction finding, is used and then the performance analysis and quantization problem of phase shifter are addressed. This paper is valuable in the respect of showing feasibility of designing the moble TT&C using adative array antenna system.
