본 논문에서는 주파수 가변이 가능한 영차 공진 안테나를 구현하였다. 제안된 안테나의 영차 공진 특성은 composite right/left-handed(CRLH) 전송 선로를 이용하여 구현하였고, 안테나의 소형화를 극대화하기 위해 버섯 구조의 접지 평면에 사각 슬롯을 설계하였다. 또한, 주파수 가변을 위해 슬롯이 있는 접지 평면에 가변 소자를 삽입하였다. 슬롯이 있는 접지 평면에 위치한 가변 소자의 on/off 상태에 따라, CRLH 전송 선로의 병렬 인덕턴스 값을 변화시킴으로 인해 안테나의 공진 주파수가 바뀌게 된다. 실험 결과, 제안된 안테나의 공진 주파수는 4.92 GHz에서 2.96 GHz로 변했다. 한편, 제안된 안테나의 크기는 일반적인 반파장 패치 안테나보다 최대 94.24 % 크기를 감소시킬 수 있었다.

This letter presents a compact metamaterial-based tunable zeroth-order resonant antenna. It is based on the double-negative unit cell with a function of tunable inductance realized by a varactor and impedance convertor in the shunt branch. The resonant frequency of the designed antenna ranges from 2.31 to 3.08 GHz, depending on the capacitance of the used varactor. Its size is very compact ($0.05{\lambda}_0{\times}0.2{\lambda}_0$) with a relatively wide tunable range of 29.1%. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna is from 20 to 50 MHz for the resonant center frequency. The measured maximum total realized gain is from -0.68 dBi (2.43 GHz) to 1.69 dBi (2.97 GHz). The EM-simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

This paper investigated that resonant frequencies of microstrip patch antenna were tunable when piezoelectric materals were used as the antenna substrates. The resonant frequencies of the antenna using the piezoelectric substrate were able to be controlled by applied voltage. The frequency variation of the air gap antenna was 16MHz when the voltage variation was 13[KV/cm], and the frequency variation of microstrip patch antenna made of $LiNbO_3$ substrate was 11MHz when voltage variation was 480[V/cm].

An optical true-time delay beam-forming system using a tunable dispersion compensating module (DCM) for dense-wavelength division modulation (DWDM) and a multiwavelength fiber ring laser for a phased array antenna is proposed. The multiwavelength fiber ring laser has one output that includes four wavelengths; and four outputs that include only single-wavelength. The advantage of such a multiwavelength fiber ring laser is that it minimizes the number of devices in the phased array antenna system. The time delays according to wavelengths, which are assigned for each antenna element, are obtained from the tunable DCM. The tunable DCM based on a temperature adjustable Fabry-Perot etalon is used. As an experimental result, a DCM could be used to obtain the change of the beam angle by adjusting the dispersion value of the DCM at the fixed lasing wavelengths of the fiber ring laser in the proposed optical true-time delay.

In this paper, we present theoretical designs for a beam steering phased array antenna that uses a true time delay optical feeder. A variable true time delay is achieved by employing one tunable laser source and high dispersion fibers with different length. The wavelength tunable optical carrier propagation in a high-dipersion fiber realizes a true time delay, with the steering direction set by a single voltage controlling the wavelength. Beamsteering of a phased array antenna is obtained by controlling the tunable laser source. An employment of a high dispersion fiber response shows wide-band operation of beem steering antenna system.

A dual-band tunable-slot-type ground radiation antenna is proposed. The feeding structure consists of a coplanar waveguide and a lumped capacitor to excite currents for first- and second-order resonant modes of the ground. The resonant frequencies of both bands are controlled using a series combination of a capacitor and an inductor. The proposed design may be an attractive choice for mobile devices owing to its compact geometry and tunable operating frequencies. The measurement and simulation results of the proposed antenna show good agreement, indicating good impedance matching and radiation performance.

본 논문에서는 인위적인 커패시턴스 값의 변화에 따라서 공진 주파수가 이동하여 다중 대역을 포함하는 이중 대역 공진 주파수 변환 안테나를 제안하였다. 인위적인 커패시턴스 값의 변화는 버랙터 다이오드 조절의 선행연구로써, 칩 커패시터를 이용해 주파수 변환 범위와 안테나 특성에 관해 분석하였다. T자 모양 슬릿의 짧은 부분에 장착된 서로 다른 칩 커패시터는 안테나의 입력 임피던스의 변화를 준다. 변화된 입력 임피던스는 안테나의 방사 패턴의 변화 없이, 일정한 범위 내에서 이중 대역 공진주파수를 유지하면서 가변함을 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 제안한 안테나의 공진 주파수는 저주파 대역과 고주파 대역에서 각각 400 MHz, 200 MHz의 범위안에서 변화가 가능하다. 또한, 10 dB 반사 손실 대역폭은 저주파 대역에서 $0.78{\sim}1.21\;GHz$, 대역폭 10 MHz를 가지며, 고주파 대역에서는 $1.97{\sim}2.17\;GHz$, 대역폭 50 MHz를 가진다. 제안한 안테나는 저주파 대역에서 0 dBi, 고주파 대역에서 3 dBi의 안테나 이득을 갖는다.

The microstrip patch antenna with PVDF (poly vinylidene fluoride) substrate, were experimentally studied at frequency 6 GHz. During the design of the essential elements of microstrip antenna, EM simulation tool Ensemble V 7.0 is used. We observed the resonant frequency by DC appled electric field in a microstrip patch antenna. This research has been made as an electronically tunable microstrip antenna, taking advantage of the voltage control dielectric substrate and piezoelectric properties substrate. We discuss the effect of substrates, electric field and piezoelectric phenomena in the PVDF microstrip antenna. The antenna frequency can be changed by varying the applied dc voltage. In this paper, we propose, a new technique to agile frequency of the microstrip antenna by using the PVDF piezoelectric substrate.
