This paper discusses the characteristics and effects of dielectric inner-supports on discone antenna for broadband RF test chamber, and the verification has been performed by simulation. Several design parameters such as the thickness of the gap support, the position of the side support, and the thickness of the side support has been analyzed. The thickness of the gap support affected the reflection coefficient. An effect of the offset of the side support from the center was slight below 3 GHz and significant above 3 GHz. The thickness of the side support did not affect the reflection coefficient or the gain much. The performance of the fabricated discone antenna was in good agreement with the simulated results. This investigation of a dielectric support effects could be used to design a commercial discone antenna for broadband RF test chamber, focusing on electrical performance and mechanical stability.

The ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum available for commercial applications has offered us an opportunity to achieve high-speed wireless communications and high-accuracy location applications. As one of key research areas in UWB technology, a lot of innovative broadband and miniaturization techniques for UWB antennas have been greatly invented and developed for years. This paper reviews the development of UWB antenna design in the past decade. Starting with a brief introduction of the specific requirements and promising applications of UWB systems, the unique design challenges of UWB antennas are highlighted. Next, the important milestones of UWB antenna designs are briefed. After that, a variety of planar UWB antennas invented for broadband operation, miniaturization, and multiple functions are introduced. Last, the comments on the development of UWB antennas in future are shared.

빠른 측정시간과 간단한 조작 기능의 장점 때문에 전자파 잔향실이 무선기기 성능 측정에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전자파 잔향실 송수신용 및 보정용으로 쓰일 수 있는 10:1 광대역 역원뿔형(inverse conical) 안테나를 제안한다. 기존 전자파 잔향실에서 주로 사용하는 디스콘 안테나는 대역폭 제한으로 인해 복수의 디스콘 안테나를 대역 별로 교체해 가며 측정해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. 제안된 안테나는 빗변에 따라 임피던스가 선형적으로 변하는 역원뿔 구조를 방사체로, 전자파 잔향실의 금속 벽면 구조를 접지면으로 활용해 광대역 임피던스 매칭 및 전방향성 방사 특성을 갖는다. 3차원 전파 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어로 최적화된 안테나 모델을 3차원 프린터를 이용해 제작하여 측정한 결과, 목표 동작주파수 대역인 0.65~7 GHz에서 반사계수가 -10dB 이하, 방사효율이 70% 이상임을 확인할 수 있었다.
