New ways of achieving small, multiband, multifunctional, and standard solutions for mobile handset antennas are demanded in the current wireless market. A non-resonant element of $5mm{\times}5mm{\times}5mm$, a matching network, and a $100mm{\times}40mm$ slotted ground plane are proposed to satisfy mobile market demands that require multiband operation and small antenna solutions. The main advantage of the proposed design is that with only one non-resonant element of considerably small size ($0.015{\lambda}$, 900 MHz), the handset is capable of providing operation at mobile bands.

In this paper, the effect of the gap in the ground plane on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) is analyzed quantitatively. Because of a lot of advantages compared to other numerical techniques, the FDTD (finite difference time domain) is applied to the EMI effect modeling. The analyzed model is the simplified PCB (printed circuit board) which has a microstrip and ground plane. The inductance induced by the gap is modeled and calculated by gridding the whole PCB based on the FDTD algorithm. When external cables are attached to the PCB, the common-mode current is induced along the attached cable and the resulting electric field strength is calculated and presented along with the FCC and CISPR EMI limits. The results show that the radiated field strength highly depends on the size of the ground plane gap. The numerical simulation results can be used as a reference in the practical PCB design with the ground plane gap.

In this paper, an E-patch antenna on the U-shaped ground plane is designed and experimental studied. In order to reduce to cross-polarization level and to enhance the gain of the microstrip patch antenna, a U-shaped ground plane is employed in the microstrip patch antenna. As a main radiator, an E-shaped patch is used to reduce the antenna size as small as possible. Also to enhance the bandwidth of the antenna, a substrate of the lowest permittivity of which thickness as thick as possible is used and a rectangular patch is overlaid on the air substrate of the E-shaped patch antenna. The radiation characteristics of the antenna are calculated by CST Microwave Studio 5.0 simulation software. Experimental results show that by increasing the height of the sidewall of the ground plane, the antenna gain is increased and the cross-polarization level is decreased.

In this paper, a planar sleeve monopole antenna for indoor digital TV reception is presented. The antenna has broadband property with the planar monopole and ground of sleeve. Sleeve monopole and ground conductors of the antenna are on the same plane, and exited through CPW feeding. Sleeve monopole and ground of proposed antenna exist on coplanar plane, and excite as CPW.

The measurement results of the fabricated antenna, return loss is larger than -10 [dB] in 470~806 [MHz]. Maximum gain is 0.59 [dBi] on E-plane at 810 MHz and 1.70 [dBi] on H-plane at 640 [MHz]. Radiation pattern is about the same that of dipole antenna at all frequency.

This paper presents two ground plane effects due to the size of two rectangular apertures for two-wire transmission line with equal line length crossing the changeable rectangular apertures in infinite ground planes. The CST MWS is used to determine the characteristics of the insertion loss of the transmission line from the load section in accordance with the ground plane aperture size. The results show that the insertion gain and the insertion loss are periodically observed for the multiple frequency of the half wavelength resonance by the wire length when the transmission line is nearby to horizontal side or vertical side of the aperture. The measurements of the insertion loss are performed to verify the theoretical analysis.

This letter presents a reconfigurable ground-slotted patch antenna using a PIN diode connection in slots to achieve dual-frequency operation. Slots in the ground plane increase the electrical length and thereby reduce antenna size by 53%. By controlling PIN diode conduction, we achieved band hopping while still satisfying the bandwidth requirements for K-PCS and WiBro bands.

In this paper, we proposed novel multilayer photonic bandgap(PBG) structure using DSL(Descended Signal Line). From measurement result, the proposed PBG structure using DSL is reduced 72 % at size and increased 13 % at bandwidth compared to typical multilayer DGS(Defected Ground Structure). It is also reduced 42 % at size and increased 23 % at bandwidth compared to PBG structure using EGP(Elevated Ground Plane). In case of measurement for manufactured six PBG patterns, all patterns have the same cutoff frequency and bandstop characteristics. So it can be used for bandstop filter having very precise tolerance of below 300 MHz at 20 ㎓ if it is applied to real product and this filter will be useful for small microwave integrated circuit and module development.

This paper proposes miniaturized broadband parasitic patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a probe fed reduced size main patch and U-shaped parasitic patches. The parasitic patches are incorporated to the radiating edges of the main patch to miniaturize the antenna size. The broadband impedance matching can be achieved by either E-plane or H-plane electromagnetic coupling between main patch and parasitic elements. The size of radiating elements is $18{\times}17.6\;mm^2$ and the overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate and ground plane is $25{\times}30{\times}4\;mm^3$. The fabricated antenna on a FR4 substrate shows two resonant frequencies(5.12 GHz and 6.08 GHz) with 27.3 %(1.5 GHz) fractional bandwidth at 5.5 GHz center frequency. The calculated and measured radiation patterns are almost similar to conventional patch antenna.

In this paper, a frequency tunable zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna has been implemented. The ZOR characteristics of the proposed antenna is realized by using a composite right-and left-handed(CRLH) transmission line which consists of a rectangular slot on the ground plane of a mushroom structured antenna in order to minimize the antenna size. In addition, the tunable devices are introduced on the slotted ground plane for frequency tuning capability. Depending on the on and off states of the tunable device on the slotted ground plane, a shunt inductance value of the CRLH transmission line is changed and its resonant frequency becomes tunable. From the experimental results, the resonant frequency of the proposed antenna is changed from 4.92 GHz to 2.96 GHz. Additionally, the proposed antenna's size is reduced by 94.24 % compared with the half-wavelength patch antenna.
