In order that multiple wideband RF transmitters which have mission to deliver essential information to aircraft operate at the same time, RF transmitter has a variable sub-carrier frequency to modulate the signal. In case of exposure to weak environment, Wide-band RF transmitter is designed to check component of transmitter that includes antenna BIT to increase system reliability. Normally, Antenna BIT measure the reflection RF power of antenna to check system condition. However, Antenna BIT has a difference that depends on testing frequency to use the long RF cable which is located between the power amp and the antenna. The periodic phenomenon of the reflected antenna power are theoretically explained about dependence on the RF cable length. Based on presented result, suggested measurement methods is effectively able to be applied to diagnosis system condition.

In this paper, a wideband monopole antenna with ring loop by modified ground plane is presented. The proposed antenna consist of monopole antenna, ring loop by ground plane. This antenna is fed CPW-fed and wide slot antenna of a novel structure for broadband characteristics is proposed. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the wide slot antenna, we proposed the wide slot structure with CPW-fed which is combined with four ${\lambda}/2$ rectangular radiation modified monopole and inductively coupled. The measured impedance bandwidth is about 2.5 GHz(3.65~6.15 GHz) then less -10 dB.

A MIMO antenna using the resonance of ground planes is proposed for 4G mobile application. A resonant mode is generated when the double ground planes (upper and lower) in the mobile terminal are excited as the radiator. By combining the resonant modes contributed from both the antenna element and the ground planes, the proposed MIMO antenna realizes a wideband property over LTE band 13. In addition, an inductive coil is employed to reduce the antenna volume. These approaches not only simplify antenna design but also effectively improve bandwidth and efficiency. The proposed MIMO antenna has an excellent ECC value of below 0.1 because of the nearly orthogonal radiation patterns of the two radiators. Moreover, an additional antenna is adopted to cover WiMAX, WLAN, and Bluetooth services simultaneously in frequency range from 2 GHz to 2.7 GHz.

A novel compact ultra wideband(UWB) antenna for UWB application is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna with $22mm{\times}26mm{\times}1.6mm$ covers the entire UWB bandwidth and has band notch characteristic for the frequency band of $5.15{\sim}5.825GHz$ limited by WLAN. The antenna has a concaved ground plane and staircase shape patch to achieve the wide bandwidth, and has an U shape slot with $\lambda/4$ length to notch the band. The return loss and group delay of the proposed antenna are measured.

A simple planar heptaband antenna with a coupling feed for 4G mobile applications is proposed. This antenna consists of a folded monopole and a feed strip line on the top plane and an L-shaped line with a coupling plate on the bottom plane. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth to cover the LTE/GSM/UMTS heptaband operation. The measured 6-dB return loss bandwidth is 152 MHz (820-972 MHz) in the lowfrequency band and 1,150 MHz (1,600-2,750 MHz) in the high-frequency band. The overall dimensions of the proposed antenna are $60mm{\times}105mm{\times}1.2mm$.

A technique to expand the operating impedance bandwidth of a microstrip patch antenna is presented. The antenna is fed by a truncated T-shaped microstrip line on the ground plane with the rectangular slot. The proposed microstrip patch antenna offers wide bandwidth characteristics with the rectangular slot which has optimized size and position on the ground plane. The simulation result shows a fractional bandwidth of 127.8 %(0.65 to 2.95 GHz) at VSWR 2:1.

A wideband bow-tie antenna fed by wideband microstrip-coplanar stripline(CPS) balun and band notch structures that can be applied to bow-tie antenna are proposed in this paper. In order to increase bandwidth, bow-tie radiators are reshaped so that the surface current flows continuously, and wideband impedance matching is achieved by adjusting strip width and spacing of CPS feeding line. The VSWR is measured as 2:1 over the wide frequency range of 2.3~12 GHz. The fabricated antenna size is $60mm{\times}60mm$. In order to achieve the band-notch function at WLAN(5.8 GHz), ${\lambda}/4$ folded-slits located ${\lambda}/4$ away from feeding point are utilized. To minimize the slit size, folded-slit type is adopted. The measured VSWR is 7:1 and gain attenuation is 14 dB at 5.8 GHz.

The combined structure of both an annular dielectric resonator and a quarter-wave monopole is proposed to generate an omnidirectional radiation pattern over the wideband frequency range. The monopole works at the lower frequency band and excites the cylindrical dielectric resonator along its center point by electrical coupling mechanism. The rectangular shape of the DR is cut to generate the wideband operation of 4.7-18.2 GHz. The geometrical parameter of cylindrical dielectric resonator is 5.8 mm, 11.6 mm and 6.0 mm in inner diameter, outer diameter and height, respectively.

This paper introduces new wideband antenna-filter-antenna (AFA) uniform arrays that can be utilized as frequency selective surfaces (FSS) with low loss and sharp roll-off response, which are highly desirable characteristics for millimeter wave applications. The design adopts a simple 3-layer single polarization structure consisting of two patch antennas and a resonator. Both simulations and measurements are used to characterize the performances of the proposed design. Overall results show 18.5% 10-dB bandwidth. For the targeted band the insertion loss is less than 0.2 dB. Possible applications include quasi-optical amps, grid mixers and radomes for aircraft radar antennas.

The use of a single UWB antenna which covers a wide range of frequencies is very desirable for future wireless communications system. In this paper, we propose a novel wide band printed elliptic monopole antenna for UWB(Ultra wide Band). Wideband planar monopole disc antenna have been recently studied. The proposed antenna can cover UWB frequencies from 3.5GHz to 12GHz. it is determined from 10dB return loss. The antenna consists of the printed elliptical monopole disc with microstrip-line feed. Elliptic disc of antenna and ground height operate important to matching. The results of measurement are almost similar to those of simulation.
