In this paper, a planar directional beam-switchable antenna with four orthogonal beam directions is proposed. The proposed antenna is designed with two crossed active elements and two parasitic elements for each direction. The design methodology is described on the basis of the Yagi-Uda method for the active and parasitic elements, respectively. By adjusting the effective electric lengths of the parasitic elements, the roles of a director and a reflector are exchanged with each other. The planar four-way beam-switchable Yagi-Uda antenna is implemented. From the experimental results. The proposed design method is verified for orthogonal radiation beam switching.

본 논문에서는 하나의 급전소자와 두개의 무급전 소자로 구성된 전 후방 지향성을 가진 비행체 탑재 능동 빔 조향 프린트형 야기-우다 안테나를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 안테나는 두개의 무급전 소자에 부착된 칩다이오드의 간단한 스위칭 작용(Open, Short)으로 지향성 다이버시티를 구현하였다. 그리고 모노폴 급전 소자와 두개의 무급전 소자와의 거리를 변화시켜 상호 임피던스의 영향이 고려된 최대 전.후방비를 찾았다. 중심주파수 1.81 GHz에서 모노폴 급전소자와 무급전소자간의 간격이 $0.25{\lambda}$일 때, 26.6 dB의 최대 전.후방비(Open-Short 또는 Short-Open)특성이 나타내었다. 이를 통해 후방에 있는 지상 통제소와 미사일의 비행 방향에 관계없이 교신 가능한 수신 레벨을 유지 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Herein, a $2{\times}2$ subarray antenna is designed to implement a VHF band active electronically scanned array. The Yagi-Uda antenna is used as a radiating element. The bandwidth enhancement and miniaturization of the Yagi-Uda antenna are achieved by optimizing the diameter of a driven element and the length of a director. In addition, the grid reflector is utilized to improve the front-to-back ratio(FBR) and to reduce both the wind resistance and overall system weight. The fabricated $2{\times}2$ subarray antenna fully covers the VHF target band($0.98{\sim}1.02f_c$). The measured maximum gain is 10.61 dBi and the FBR is larger than 26 dB.

In this paper, a novel diversity and directivity mode-switchable planar antenna array is proposed. For the diversity mode, four elements are unfolded on the plane and high isolation can be achieved. On the other hand, the antenna function is changed to the directivity mode when they are folded and stacked. Each element works such as a stacked Yagi-Uda antenna with high directivity. Especially, the curved feed line as well as the hybrid feeding method is used to improve performances. The simulation results agree well with measurement results and it is successfully demonstrated that two modes are properly working at 2.4 GHz.

This paper presents analysis and design for printed directive antenna using Bluetooth AP system. For the miniaturization of the antennas, dielectric substrate (${\varepsilon}_r$=4.6) and planar line Yagi-Uda antenna structure are used. The proposed Yagj-Uda antennas are simulated using commercial simulator (HFSS). The results of the simulation are presented and compared with characteristics of each array type. Especially, the proposed antennas can be applied to the design of various communication systems for 2.4 GHz band.

본 논문은 Wireless LAN 주파수 대역$(5725\~5825\;MHz)$에서의 다차원패턴기술(Photonic Band Gap : PBG)을 이용한 Yagi-Uda 안테나와 결합하여 광대역 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나를 구현 하였으며, PBG Cell을 이용한 안테나와 이용하지 않은 안테나를 비교 분석하였다. PBG 구조를 적용한 안테나에서의 대역폭이 약 30 MHz 정도 더 넓게 나왔으며, 안테나의 이득은 -1dB정도 더 낮게 나왔는데 이는 Ground 면에 2차원적인 PBG Cell을 적용한 효과 때문으로 분석된다.

This paper proposes an small electronically steerable parasitic array radiator composed of a uniplanar dipole as a feeding element and two dipoles as parasitic elements. The fabricated antenna shows by measurement the $3.3{\sim}4.3\;dB$ gain between $-100{\sim}1000$ azimuth range in the dipole vertical plane and -10 dB return loss within $5.4{\sim}5.9\;GHz$, which includes $5.725{\sim}5.825\;GHz$ UNII band.

In this paper, we proposed a beam tilting microstrip patch array antenna for the reception of satellite signals by using low cost copper etched polyester films and foams. The configuration and coupling mechanism of the proposed antenna are similar to the dipole Yagi-Uda antenna. It is composed of 3 layers of polyester films and three layers of foam. In order to prevent unwanted radiation and coupling loss by microstrip feeding networks and parasitic patches, a stacked layer with rectangular slots above the driver patch array is inserted. The 16${\times}$8 element microstrip Patch way antenna is Presented by experimental results. Its beam patterns are affected by many parameters such as sizes of the patches, gap between the patches. characteristics of the substrates, feeding method, etc. Owing to its complexities of various design parameters, both simulation and experiment were performed. The fabricated antenna received DBS signal from KOREASAT 3 by doing nothing but adjusting azimuth direction.
