In this paper, we have proposed the pattern adjustable base station antenna for WCDMA applications. The proposed antenna consists of an omni-antenna(sleeve monopole) and two movable reflectors. The two reflectors can be controlled by mechanically and used to adjust the horizontal pattern of the base station antenna. The antenna was designed, fabricated, and measured. The antenna covers the entire WCDMA band for VSWR<1.4. The measured antenna gain is more than 15 dBi over the operating frequency range. By changing the angle (a) and the distance (d) of the antenna, the pattern adjustment of the proposed base station antenna is found to be possible.

In this paper, WCDMA indoor repeater antenna using an absorber based on metamaterial structure for high isolation is proposed. The proposed antenna consist of the main patch with the absorber based on metamaterial structure and parasitic patch. The WCDMA bandwidth is obtained by utilizing the coupling between the main and parasitic patches. The size of the absorber based on metamaterial structure is $13mm{\times}13mm$, the absorption is about 94 % at 2.18 GHz. The isolation characteristic of proposed WCDMA indoor repeater antenna between the service and donor antennas is improved by using a absorber based on metamaterial. The proposed WCDMA indoor repeater antenna has a gain higher than 6 dBi with a VSWR less than 2, and an isolation between the service and donor antennas greater than 85 dB over the WCDMA band from 1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz. And size of the proposed antenna is $75mm{\times}75mm$.

This paper proposes a novel design for a compact, high-isolation WCDMA indoor repeater antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a patch antenna and metamaterial absorber. The required WCDMA bandwidth is obtained by utilizing the coupling between the main and the parasitic patches. In addition, high isolation is achieved using the metamaterial absorber, which has an absorption of about 98% at 2.1 GHz. Overall, the proposed antenna has a gain of over 7 dBi, a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of less than 2, more than 85 dB of isolation between the service and donor antennas over the WCDMA band and a total volume of the proposed antenna only $70mm{\times}70mm{\times}43.8mm$.

In this paper, an absorber based on metamaterial is proposed to improve the isolation of conventional WCDMA indoor repeater antenna. The proposed absorber is composed of Double Split Ring Resonators(DSRRs) and Complementary Spiral(CS) structure.

The proposed antenna, which proposed absorber is applied to conventional WCDMA indoor repeater antenna, has isolation over 85 dB. Isolation is improved more than 10 dB compared with the conventional antenna. The VSWR is lower than 2 at WCDMA band from 1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz. The radiation patterns are $60^{\circ}{\pm}10^{\circ}$ E-plane and H-plane, respectively. And, the gain is more than 6 dBi. The volume of proposed antenna with absorber based on metamaterial is $90mm{\times}90mm{\times}44.8mm$.

In this paper, a novel compact broadband dual frequency microstrip antenna is presented. The meander type patch has been designed to have dual resonant frequencies, and the ground with slot was employed to expand the bandwidth in WCDMA band. The simulated results were obtained using HFSS, and the measurement on the proposed antenna was conducted in an anechoic chamber equipped with a network analyzer and a far field measurement system. As a result, measured maximum gain of antenna is 2.07$\sim$2.87 dBi in the GSM band and 3.91$\sim$5.61 dBi in the WCDMA band.
