The tangential electric polarizability of a electrically small square patch, which is commonly used in metasurfaces, is calculated using electric potential continuity. Since the potential at the patch surface is not uniform due to the equivalent electric dipole located at the center, there is a problem in that the polarizability is not uniquely defined. To obtain equivalent polarizability, the meshes in the analysis area are divided on the patch surface, and the equivalent polarizability is calculated by averaging the polarizabilities obtained at each point. The results of the proposed method, third-power series approximation, and experimental equations are compared and verified. Finally, the magnitude and phase of the reflection coefficient of patch metasurface calculated by generalized sheet transition conditions(GSTCs) are in good agreement with the HFSS simulation results.

Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the radiation characteristics of a microstrip patch antenna is investigated. Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the resonance frequency and bandwidth is very small, while that on the radiation pattern is very large. The gain of front radiation and the direction of the maximum gain vary almost periodically with the length of a square substrate plane. The length of a square substrate plane for the maximum gam and the minimum gain of front radiation decrease as the electrical thickness of a substrate increases. The variation of the gain of front radiation with the length of a square substrate plane increases as the electrical thickness of a substrate increases. The variation of the radiation pattern with the length of a square substrate plane is almost determined by the electrical thickness of a substrate.

In this paper, a rectangular patch antenna is miniaturized by changing tile middle of patch into narrow microstrip line except the edges of the patch where the fringing field occurs. Miniaturizing rate, gain, radiation patterns of suggested antennas were compared with general square microstrip antenna by using simulator Ensemble. As a result, it reduces the size of antenna by 30% and improves the characteristic of X pol as a advantage while it reduces gain and bandwidth.

The U-slot patch antenna has been found experimentally to provide impedance and gain bandwidths. Experiment and simulation results include impedance bandwidth, copolar and crosspolar-pattern characteristics and gain measurements. If one of the parameters such as patch width or feed position is varied, U-slot patch can also function as a dual-frequency antenna.

In this paper, the characteristics of Koch island microstrip patch antenna are investigated by numerical and experimental methods. The Koch patch is fractal shaped antenna which can be characterized by two properties such as space-filling and self-similarity. Due to its space-filling property of fractal structure, the proposed Koch fractal patch antennas are smaller in size than that of conventional square patch antenna. From numerical and experimental results, it is found that as the iteration number and iteration factor of Koch patch increase, its resonance frequency becomes lower than that of conventional patch, thus contributes to antenna size reduction. In particular, when the fractal iteration factor is 1/4, the fractal antenna is 45% smaller in size than that of conventional patch, while maintaining radiation patterns comparable to those of rectangular antenna and cross polarization level is about -20~-14 dB.

In this paper, we propose a novel single-feed dual-band circular polarization square patch antenna for GPS(global positioning system)/DMB(digital multimedia broadcasting) receiver. The proposed antenna has folded slots at the 4 corners and a diagonal slot at the center of the square patch. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidths of the proposed antenna were 84 MHz ranging from 1.516 GHz to 1.600 GHz for the low frequency band(GPS) and 109 MHz ranging from 2.596 GHz to 2.705 GHz for the high frequency band(DMB). The measured peak linear antenna gains of the proposed antenna were 6.23 dBi at 1.575 GHz for GPS and 6.97 dBi at 2.642 GHz for DMB band.

In this paper, we propose a multiple slotted dual-band square patch antenna with CP(Circular Polarization) characteristic. And we present the simulation and measurement results of the design example. We designed a slotted patch antenna by using computer simulation program, Zeland IE3D, and then some tuning followed with measurements. Measured -10dB bandwidths of $S_{11}$ characteristic are 127MHz($2.346GHz{\sim}2.473GHz$) for the low-band, and 122MHz($3.379GHz{\sim}3.501GHz$) for the high-band, respectively. And measured maximum gains and half-power beamwidths are 6.94dBi, $72.95^{\circ}$ for the low-band at 2.30GHz, 5.78dBi, $76.51^{\circ}$ for the high-band at 3.45GHz, respectively.

The microstrip reflectarray antenna is rapidly becoming an attractive alternative solution to the traditional parabolic reflector antenna. However, the bandwidth of the microstrip reflectarray using the single layer structure is very narrow. To obtain wide bandwidth characteristic, the microstrip reflectarray using the multi-layer structure has been used, but it has some disadvantages such as high cost and complicated design. In this paper, to obtain low cost and wide bandwidth, the microstrip reflectarray antenna composed of square patch with two U-slots using the single-layer structure is proposed. The proposed antenna demonstrate radiation efficiency closed to 55.5 % and 1 dB gain bandwidth over 14 % at 12.5 GHz.

A low profile asymmetrical fractal boundary patch antenna based on reactive impedance surface (RIS) and a mushroom unit cell (MUC) is proposed and studied for dual band operation. The sides of the square patch antenna are replaced with asymmetrical half circled fractal curves for circular polarization operation at patch mode band. The fractal patch antenna is loaded with MUC for dual band operation. The antenna radiation characteristics are investigated and illustrated with both simulated and experimental results in detail. The 10-dB return loss bandwidth are 8.48% (3.21-3.49 GHz) and 2.59% (2.30-2.36 GHz) at upper and lower resonance frequencies, respectively. The 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth is 4.26% (3.21-3.35 GHz). A close agreement between simulation data with experimental results is observed.

In this paper, a integrated structure of a two-element microstrip patch antenna with two feeds for GPS/PCS dual-band operation is proposed. The radiating element for PCS operation is a novel broad band low-profile cylindrical monopole top-loaded with a shorted meander patch, which gives linearly polarized conical radiation pattern and size reduction of patch due to meander line. The radiating element for GPS operation is a novel square-ring microstrip patch with truncated corners and slits. which provide circularly polarized broadside radiation patterns and size reduction due to slots. using dielectric substrate in GPS antenna of proposed antenna provide to improve isolation between two feeds and reduce size of patch. The proposed antenna achieves the bandwidth and polarization requirements of GPS and PCS systems.
