In this paper, the design of a miniaturized wideband tapered slot antenna using slots combining various types of fan-shaped structures was studied. To miniaturize the tapered slot antenna and make it operate at low frequencies, slots combining fan-shaped structures were added to the ground plane of the tapered slot antenna. The miniaturization design process of the final proposed antenna was systematically explained by comparing the input reflection coefficient and gain variations when each fan-shaped structure was appended, compared to when there was no slot. The proposed miniaturized wideband tapered slot antenna using slots combining the fan-shaped structures was fabricated on an RF-35 substrate and its measured characteristics were compared with the simulation results. Experiment results show that the frequency band with a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2 was 2.59-11.39 GHz, and gain within the band was measured to be 3.3-7.0 dBi. The proposed miniaturized wideband tapered slot antenna can be reduced in size by 36.9%, compared to when there are no slots in the ground plane.

This paper demonstrates a scalp-implantable miniaturized antenna at the medical implant communication service (MICS) (402-405MHz) band. The antenna size is only $27.63mm^3$($8.5mm{\times}6.5mm{\times}0.5mm$), which is the smallest antenna for the MICS band. Miniaturization is achieved by using a symmetrical serpentine shaped radiating patch and placing open-end slots in the ground plane. In addition, co-axial feeding is used for excitation with a shorting pin connected between the radiator and ground. The antenna was simulated in a homogeneous skin model and in the human scalp. An experimental prototype of the proposed antenna was fabricated and measured in a skin-mimicking gel. Good agreement was obtained between the measurement and simulation results, showing a broad bandwidth of 49 MHz (from 395 to 444 MHz) for |S11| less than -10 dB and a maximum gain of -42.87 dBi. This gain is higher than the previous MICS antenna with respect to antenna size.

In this paper, microstrip antenna using multi-layer and folded structure for GPS application is presented for aircraft loading. Existing microstrip patch antenna used dielectric of high specific inductive capacity to miniaturize that cause smaller bandwidth and decline of efficiency due to dielectric loss. To compensate the existing flaws, Rogers TMM 10i(dielectric constant=9.8, loss tangent=0.002) is used for multi-layer dielectric miniaturization, and we construct folded radiating element on the surface of the dielectric applying perturbation effect. The antenna is designed in the bandwidth of GPS $L_1$ band, and the size of the antenna's radiating element is $20.3mm{\times}19.93mm$, and it gets 94.2% miniaturized characteristic of basic ${\lambda}/2$ microstrip patch antenna. Also the measured -10 dB bandwidth is 32.3 MHz(2.05%), 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 6.7 MHz(0.43%). Measured radiation patterns was maximum gain of 0.56 dBi at x axis polarization, 1.23 dBi at y axis polarization.

In this paper, the 3-dimensional microstrip antenna, where the lis is attached near the patch, on the pound and both patch and ground in zigzag, is designed and fabricated to miniaturize size of antenna. The path of surface current and permittivity in patch are increased because of attached Iris near the patch, on the pound and patch and found. In particula., the maximum size reduction effect among the three-type of $79.1\%$(17 mm$\times$90 mm) was presented in zigzag-type compared with the rectangular microstrip patch antenna(MPA) with a height of 9 mm at the resonant frequency of 1.575 GHz. The gain showed -1.15 dBd, -10 dB bandwidth showed 6.2$\%$(98 MHz), and HPBW of E-plane showed $154^{\circ}$. As that result we could confirm that the 3-dimensional structure with attached Irises is the proper form for the miniaturization of microstrip antenna.

As the development and distribution of the intelligent transport system is spreading recently and some of the services are commercialized through a pilot project, interest in DSRC with high utilization is increasing and antennas for roadside and on board equipment are being studied. A single patch was used for a vehicle antenna due to the requests of miniaturization of size, but there was performance degradation in most cases due to miniaturization. In addition, some methods to improve performance have been used in the antennas that were previously researched using the arrays, but they have the disadvantages of bulkiness in size of the antennas when using the arrays. Therefore, in this paper, the CPW fed microstrip patch antenna with the simple structure of being compact and easy to produce, which can be used in the OBU of DSRC, was designed.

In this paper, small sized half-wavelength circular loop antenna which attached beneath a visor of helmet is designed and fabricated at the resonant frequency of 449MHz. To reduce the size of the antenna, double series-shorted stubs are inserted inside the loop for practical use of a vacant space of loop inside. Also, It is designed for the printed type to install the helmet easily. The size of antenna on helmet is reduced to 87.75%(diameter : 70mm, height :.36mm) compare with general type antenna(diameter : 200mm height 101mm). The return loss, -10dB bandwidth and gain are -13.2dB, 17.6MHz(3.9%), and -1.78dBd. And, radiation pattern is omni-directional pattern at H-plane. Therefore, it can be seen that the half-wavelength circular loop antenna using double series-shorted stubs is proper structure for the miniaturization and the installed antenna of the helmet.

In this paper, we implemented an on-board miniaturization antenna operating 2.4 GHz using MZR(Mu Zero Resonator). It is must be operating under the constraint that the size of the small terminal PCB should be $78{\times}38{\times}0.8mm^3$ and the size of the system should be $63{\times}38{\times}0.8mm^3$ and the size of the radiating part should be $15{\times}38{\times}0.8mm^3$. The feeding structure uses a CPW structure for stable feeding and a feeding point at the upper left of the system board. A magnetic field coupling structure is used for coupling the feeding part and the antenna. The resonance frequency of the MZR is determined by the series inductance and capacitance of the cell, so the gap between the cells, the length of the cell, the length of the interdigital capacitor, and the spacing between the radiation part and the ground plane are analyzed. The antenna was designed and fabricated using the results. The total size of the antenna including the feed structure is $20.8{\times}9.0{\times}0.8mm^3$, and the electrical length is $0.1664{\lambda}_0{\times}0.072{\lambda}_0{\times}0.0064{\lambda}_0$. The measurement result for 10 dB bandwidth, gain and directivity are 440 MHz(18.3%), 0.4405 dB, and 2.722 dB respectively. It is confirmed that the radiation pattern has omnidirectional characteristics and it can be applied to ultra small terminal antenna.
