The variation of S11 depending on the ground sizes of circular planar monopole UWB antenna was studied. And optimal ground structure and size in UWB application devices are proposed. Radius R of circular monopole UWB antenna as a reference antenna was designed for UWB frequency band, and the measured results of this antenna on the horizontal ground plane was good agreed with the simulated results. When radius R is small, optimal size of ground plane is proposed, and when radius R is more large, minimum size of ground plane is proposed.

In this paper, a new co-planar waveguide ultra-wideband aperture is designed as wireless application in ships. The designed antenna consists of a rectangular aperture on a determined ground plane and a mushroom shaped stub. The mushroom-shaped stub, which is simple, convenient to analyze and optimise, has less parameters. This antenna has compact aperture size $21.1{\times}8.1mm^2$, designed on FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3, thickness of 1.5mm. CPW fed planar antenna has the advantages of wide-bandwidth, low-cost and easy interaction with the radio frequency front end circuitry.

In this paper, a novel type of wideband single-patch microstrip antenna using the reactive-loading technique is presented. We demonstrated that, by inserting stubs at both of the radiating edges, the frequencies of the two resonant modes are closely spaced to form a wide operating bandwidth. Segmentation technique and cavity model are used to analyze the antenna characteristics and experimental data are show to be in good agreement with the calculated results. With the proposed structure, the measured antenna bandwidth of 230MHz is obtained, which is almost 2.65 times larger than that of an unloaded rectangular patch antenna and fully covers the whole frequency range of 1.885GHz~2.025GHz allocated to IMT-2000.

In this paper, we studied about the antenna designed by heart-shape beam pattern for 4G mobile communication applications. The proposed whole size of structure was identical if it compare with the basis structure. But size of the patch was improved a little(upaward 1.3). The impedance bandwidth was improved about 258% which compares with the basis structure. And the structure could get very good characteristic applicatory to IMT-Advanced. Impedance bandwidth of antenna was about 22%(870MHz). The gain of above 8.7dBi was achieved extended IMT-Advanced all frequency band.

In this paper, the linear tapered slot(LTS) antenna and linear constant tapered slot(LCTS) antenna are optimized for millimeter-wave antenna by the finite difference time domain(FDTD) method and then fabricated and measured. The microstrip-to-slot transition is proposed with the widen $\lambda$/4 open stub as feeder for wide bandwidth of 16.5GHz($VSWR\leq2$). The results of the calculation and measurement, the bandwidth of LTS antanna is 8.3GHz(26.47%) and 7.1792GHz(22.4%) respectively. Also, the bandwidth of LCTS antenna is 8.1GHz(26.47%) and 6.3243GHz(20.43%) respectively.

A compact planar microstrip-fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a dual band-notched for UWB application is presented and analyzed. By inserting a U-shaped slot and inverted U-shaped slot into the pot-shaped radiator, two notched bands are achieved. By optimizing the width and length of the U-shaped slots and inverted U-shaped slot, a desired bandwidth of voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2.0 can be achieved, ranging from UWB bands with notched dual bands. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an inexpensive FR-4 substrate with overall dimensions of $28.0mm{\times}39.5mm$. The measured results confirm that the proposed antenna covers from 1.775 to over 13.075 GHz with two rejection bands of around 3.325-3.925 GHz and 5.3125-6.025 GHz. In addition, the proposed antenna showed good radiation characteristics and gains in the UWB bands.

We proposed to a new method of the aperture coupled microstrip antenna with T-shaped feeding slot. We analyzed method of enhancing the bandwidth of the antenna using FDTD. And the antenna parameters are optimized to get maximum bandwidth. We also calculated the progress process of waves and the distribution of electric field in the time domain. We also calculated return loss, VSWR, input impedance, radiation pattern in the frequency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results, respectively. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna changes length and width of the patch, length and width of the slot, length of T-shaped feedline, position of the offset. Measured % bandwidth was 49.2 % in the center frequency 2.5 GHz. These results were in relatively food accordance with calculated values.

In this paper, a design method for a compact log-perio dic half-bow-tie dipole array antenna for an operation in a UWB band(3.1-10.6 GHz) is studied. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by using half-bow-tie shaped dipole elements instead of strip-type dipole elements, which are commonly used in a general log-periodic dipole array(LPDA) antenna, and by reducing the element spacing. The effects of the flare angle of the half-bow-tie elements and the spacing factor on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed log-periodic antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 2.95-11.31 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band. In addition, the length and width of the proposed antenna are reduced to 32.1 % and 18.3 %, respectively, compared to the LPDA antenna.

In this letter, a new approach is proposed for the design of a multi antenna for MIMO wireless devices. The proposed antenna covers various LTE(Long Term Evolution) service bands: band 17(704~746 MHz), band 13(746~787 MHz), band 5(824~894 MHz), and band 8(880~960 MHz). The proposed main antenna consists of a conventional monopole antenna with an inverted L-shaped slit for wideband operation. The proposed the LTE sub antenna is based on a switch loaded loop antenna structure, with a resonance frequency that can be controlled by capacitance of a logic circuit. The tuning technique for the LTE Rx antenna uses a RF MEMS(Micro-Electro mechanical system) to match the impedances to realize the bands of interest. Because the two proposed antennas are polarized orthogonally to each other, the ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) characteristic between two antennas was measured to be very low (below 0.06) with an isolation characteristic below -20 dB between the two antennas in the operating overall LTE bands. The proposed antenna is particularly attractive for mobile devices that integrate LTE multiple systems.

The impedance bandwidth range of the produced tapered slot antenna is from 3.8 ~ 8.9GHz to 5.1GHz, E-plane and H-plane radiation pattern meet directional antenna characteristics for indoor and outdoor location recognition in predetermined range. The antenna gain is 7.4 dBi(6GHz)in the simulation, the result of measurement demonstrated 7.4 dBi(6 GHz) of antenna maximum gain. Proposed tapered slot antenna meets UWB communication system but simulated and measured results were slightly different.
