In this paper, a design method for a compact dual-band slot antenna with bent slot is studied. Bent slots are added on the rectangular slot of the proposed antenna for dual-band operation. The rectangular slot is fed by a coaxial cable by placing a rectangular feeding patch inside the slot. When the bent slots are added onto the both corner of the upper side of the rectangular slot symmetrically, a new resonant frequency is created in low frequency because of the increasement of the slot length. A prototype of the proposed dual-band slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz WLAN band and 4.50-8.30 GHz band including 5GHz WLAN band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 30 mm by 30 mm. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.40-2.49 GHz and 4.33-9.85 GHz for an input reflection coefficient < -10 dB.

This paper proposes miniaturized broadband parasitic patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a probe fed reduced size main patch and U-shaped parasitic patches. The parasitic patches are incorporated to the radiating edges of the main patch to miniaturize the antenna size. The broadband impedance matching can be achieved by either E-plane or H-plane electromagnetic coupling between main patch and parasitic elements. The size of radiating elements is $18{\times}17.6\;mm^2$ and the overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate and ground plane is $25{\times}30{\times}4\;mm^3$. The fabricated antenna on a FR4 substrate shows two resonant frequencies(5.12 GHz and 6.08 GHz) with 27.3 %(1.5 GHz) fractional bandwidth at 5.5 GHz center frequency. The calculated and measured radiation patterns are almost similar to conventional patch antenna.

This paper presents radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna for Fitbit Flex wristband which detects vital signal. Also, the paper presents Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) from the loop-dipole radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna based on the position of human body. The proposed loop-dipole radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna produces two opposite side direction radiation pattern using two RF switches. The resonant frequency of the radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna is Bluetooth communication bandwidth (2.4 - 2.485 GHz) and the maximum gain of the proposed antenna is 1.96 dBi. The proposed antenna satisfied the standard SAR value of 1.6 W/kg in 1 g tissue of the human body when the Bluetooth communication input average power of 0.04 W is excited to five parts of human body (head, chest, stomach, back, wrist). The maximum SAR value of in this simulation is presented in the part of head.

In this paper, two novel subsurface antennas for remote management of underground facilities using PCS and cellular wireless network are proposed. The proposed subsurface antenna is a dual band circular patch which is inserted and molded for the protection of the antenna into a metal such as a manhole cover. The antenna is designed considering the resonant frequency shift of the antenna due to the insertion and molding. The measured return loss and receiving power of the fabricated antenna comparison with a dipole shows that two proposed subsurface antenna can be used for remote management of underground facilities using PCS and cellular systems.

The objective of this work is to design Surface Antenna Structure (SAS) and investigate fatigue behavior of SAS that is asymmetric sandwich structure. This term, SAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials are selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constant and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, SSSFIP elements inserted into structural layers were designed fur satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was $16{\;}{\tiems}{\;}8$ array antenna. From electrical measurements, it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. In cyclic 4-point bending, flexure behavior was investigated by static and fatigue test. Fatigue life curve of SAS was obtained. The fatigue load was determined experimentally at a 0.75 (1.875kN) load level, Experimental results were compared with single load level fatigue life prediction equations (SFLPE) and in good agreement with SFLPE. SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration fur both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

In the sequentially rotated array antennas, the characteristics of antenna gain, axial ratio and cross polarization have been analyzed with a varying of sequential array constant(number of array element, figure of rotation) respectively. Where the antenna element of array is a probe feeding, LHCP truncated microstrip antenna whose resonant frequency is in 11.85GHz. The simulation results of 23 SRA antennas((M=2, 3, 4, 6, 8), $(1\leqP\leqM)$) has shown as follows. The widest 3dB bandwidth of axial ratio appears at P=2 which is in-dependant of M, the highest antenna gain appears when a sequential array constant has a pair of (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (6, 3), (8, 1) respectively. Specially, all of the SRA antenna appear very poor characteristics in case of M=P. Therefore the SRA antenna has to be designed as selecting a optimal sequential array constant among a lot of simulation data.

A meander slot antenna with open-end fed by a microstrip line which can be used at 400 MHz ISM band is newly proposed. The main difference between the proposed slot antenna and the previous slot antenna is the introduction of the open-end to miniaturize the previous meander slot antenna in the space restricted within narrow limit. In order to check the validity of the proposed antenna, the resonant frequency and radiation pattern of the proposed antenna have been simulated and examined. Good agreements between simulated results and measured results have been observed.

This paper presents a dual band loop-type ground antenna using lumped-elements that control the impedance bandwidth and resonant frequency. The dual-band operation of the proposed antenna is realized by inserting an additional resonated loop feed structure into the reference ground antenna. As the proper value of the capacitor and the inductor are chosen, the impedance bandwidth of our antenna with voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) equal to 3 is 85 MHz and 725 MHz at the 2.45 and 5.5 GHz frequency band, respectively. Its validity is demonstrated via both the computed and measured results. Good antenna patterns and efficiencies are achieved at the dual frequency bands, as well as the physically small antenna element size($10{\times}5mm^2$).
