In this paper, we design the circular slits in the parch antenna for size reduction and high gain working at 900 MHz. Modifying the rectangular type patch, we decrease the antenna real-estate, leading to antenna miniaturization with added circular slits in itself. The antenna is tuned for under -30 dB return loss by adjusting the number of circular slits and their radii, and its design is performed for the maxim bean pattern of 4 dBi gain. Compared with the antenna without circular slits, the designed antenna shows 20 MHz downward shift of frequency, proving that the size reduction is achieved with this antenna design.

We formerly reported a new method for the upward continuation of potential field on spherical patch area including Earth's curvature, which has been neglected in most studies on rectangular area with flat Earth assumption. This new method is applicable to downward continuation as well by only assigning corresponding value for the ratio of two radii; $r_2/r_1$, i.e., target radius $r_2$ versus datum radius $r_1$. In addition, the inherent problem of this method due to spherical surface geometry is described, and its one possible remedy is given.

In this paper, a shorting pin and slot-loaded microstrip patch antenna is designed and fabricated. A shorting pin and slots are used for harmonic suppression on an inset fed antenna. A shorting pin and slot properties are analyzed by cavity model of the rectangular patch and the characteristics of the designed antenna are described. The designed antenna provides a gain of 7 dBi at the fundamental frequency, 5.8 GHz. In the second and third harmonic frequencies, the proposed antenna has gain suppression properties of -3.3 dB and -14.3 dB at each harmonic frequency, respectively.

This paper presents a new dualband shared-aperture microstrip antenna to operate in the S-Band of 2 GHz and X-Band of 8 GHz, for a Low Earth Orbit satellite antenna system. The proposed antenna incorporates two types of patches those are a rectangular loop-shaped for the S-Band and a square patch for the X-Band. Each patch are optimized for its respective operating band with minimal interference. The proposed antenna achieves a bandwidth of 16 MHz in the S-Band and 572 MHz in the X-Band. The highest gain is measured 7.14 dBi at 1.99 GHz and 7.95 dBi at 7.88 GHz. The proposed antenna exhibits half power beamwidths of 85 degree and 80 degree at 1.99 GHz and 7.88 GHz, respectively. The proposed dualband shared-aperture microstrip antenna may be a good candidate for as a feeding system of a dualband reflectarray antenna With its unidirectional radiation pattern from excellent agreement between simulation and measurement results.

In this paper, the microstrip array antenna is studied to replace the parabolic antenna in the direct satellite reception. A microstrip array antenna has been used in extremely limited area, but if it is applied to practical life like a direct satellite reception antenna, we expect that it will be used in various way. First of all, if we use a microstrip array antenna for a direct satellite reception antenna, it should be guaranteed characteristics of broadband frequency. Therefore, the goal of this paper is designing technique an antenna which guarantees broadband frequency band for a direct satellite reception. In this paper, the proposed microstrip antenna is fed by orthogonal two feed lines to a rectangular patch and a sequentially rotated feeding technique is designed proposed for a good axial ratio in broadband frequency band. The rectangular patch is designed to satellite reception band, and the width and length are W=L=8.9 mm ($0.352{\lambda}o$) respectively. The antenna's ground plane has dimensions of $250{\times}250mm$. The experimental results verify that the proposed antenna had the axial ratio of above 1dB broader than that of the conventional feeding antenna. In order to verify the performance, a $8{\times}8$ array having two pairs was fabricated and tested. The maximum gain is 20.8 dB, the sidelobe level confirm less than -10 dB. It is verified by link budget calculation that C/N=6.7 dB can be obtained for domestic use if this proposed antenna is used in Koreasat reception system.

In this paper, the design of a dual-polarization rectangular microstrip patch antenna with high isolation between two feeding ports excited by using both an aperture-coupled feed (port 1) and a 3-dimensional microstrip feed (port 2) is presented. From the simulation using the commercial program IE3D, the optimum values of the antenna parameters are investigated at both two feed structures and the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. Experimental results confirmed that an bandwidth of the antenna is about 17 % and the isolation of two ports is great than 30 dB over all frequency bands.

In this paper, a high gain microstrip antenna with rectangular cavity backed is designed. A single microstrip patch is basically a low gain radiator As a ga in enhancement method, superstrate loading techniques are applied to the $2\times2$ microstrip array antenna with cavity backed. In antenna design, although the broadside gain increases as the cavity is enlarged, a cavity size of $3\times3$ wavelength is sufficient. The distance between the radiating elements is chosen as 1.5 free-space wavelength. The antenna radiation characteristics are calculated by IE3D software and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the maximum gain is 18.6dBi at the frequency of 9.16GHz, which is good agreement with the calculations.

In this paper, single-feed equilateral triangular microstrip antennas(ETMA) for circular polarization(CP) are designed and studied experimentally. It is demonstrated that by embedding a narrow slot or a cross of unequal slot lengths in the triangular patch circularly polarized radiation RHCP(right-hand circularly polarized wave), LHCP(left-hand circularly polarized wave) of microstrip antennas can easily be achieved using by strategically positioned coaxial single probe feed. And the size of a triangular microstrip patch antenna is smaller than that of a conventional rectangular or circular patch at a given frequency. A single-feed ETMA with a horizontal narrow slot is printed on the substrate of 60 mils thick and the other ETMA with a corss slot of unequal slot lengths is printed on the same substrate. The antenna radiation characteristics are calculated by ENSEMBLE(Ver. 5.0) software, and compared with the experimental results. This results show that the antenna size reduction of about $17%{\sim}2l%$ is obtained as compared to the regular-size CP design.
