본 논문에서는 end-fire 방사패턴 특성을 가지는 2.4GHz ISM 밴드용 소형 open-end slot 안테나를 설계하였다. 안테나 설계 공간은 $23mm{\times}15mm$의 좁은 영역으로 한정된 공간 내에 안테나를 설계하기 위하여 한번의 Bent된 slot을 도입하였고, End-Fire 방사특성을 내기위해 안테나 수평면상의 위쪽 방향으로 slot을 open시킨 구조이다. Bent된 slot을 이용해 전체 slot의 길이를 변화시키지 않고 주파수의 조절이 가능하고, Feeding Line의 길이와 폭을 조절하여 보다 광대역의 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 제작된 안테나의 공진 주파수는 2.46GHz이고 대역폭은 2.4GHz~2.61GHz 까지 약 210MHz(VSWR<2) 이다. 방사패턴은 동작 주파수 내에서 slot이 open된 방향으로 end-fire특성을 가지고, 안테나의 이득과 효율은 각 각 1dBi, 70% 이상의 성능을 가진다. 설계 결과의 검증을 위해 모의실험 결과와 측정 결과를 비교하여 제시하였다.

This paper presents a nature-inspired wideband sprout-leaf shaped antenna with end-fire radiation pattern. A sprout-leaf shape angled-radiator was designed for wide beamwidth radiation patterns for motion detection sensors. An extended and truncated ground plane was used as a reflector for end-fire radiation patterns. To feed the balanced radiator, a broadband microstrip (MS) to coplanar stripline (CPS) balun was utilized with excellent amplitude and phase balance. The proposed antenna demonstrates wide frequency bandwidth from 8.5 to 14.5 GHz with wide beamwidth and the radiation efficiency of 90%. The measured gain is from 4 to 5 dBi and front-to-back ratio was 10 to 20 dB. It has been shown that the proposed antenna can be used for imaging sensors, phased array systems, and radars that require a wide bandwidth and a directional radiation pattern.

In this paper, we have proposed a tapered slot antenna for IR-UWB communication system suitable of indoor positioning in the building. The designed tapered slot antenna is designed using Ansys Inc. HFSS and its standing wave ratio, return loss, and radiation pattern is analyzed. In 2.36 GHz ~ 5.51 GHz and, the designed antenna shows satisfactory return loss at -10 dB and meets the requirement of $VSWR{\leq}2$. The presented designed showed a higher sensitivity for the end-fire propagation characteristics in a specific direction across all bands of the radiation pattern.

In the present study, wideband microstrip monopole slot antennas which can be applied to the RF4CE Zigbee remote controller are designed. First I-shaped monopole slot antenna which has ${\lambda}g/4$ length at 2.45GHz is designed. In particular, a conducting via is used to connect the microstrip feed line and the ground plane surrounded with the etched slot for the bandwidth improvement. In order to reduce the antenna size, it is changed into L-shaped and T-shaped monopole slot antennas for which improve results of antenna performance are observed. In case of T-shaped monopole slot antenna, impedance bandwidth(VSWR<2) is about 3.32GHz, and also its radiation efficiency and gain is more than 90% and 2.1dBi respectively at whole operating frequency range. In particular, all of proposed monopole slot antennas have the end-fire radiations which has a maximum radiation power toward direction of open ends of monopole slots.
