We demonstrate that the effect of the PCB ground length and the cover is important in the performance of 2.4 GHz patch antennas. The Center frequency in the return loss shifts as much as 0.5 GHz, when the length of the PCB ground increases from 30 to 85 mm. The position of 10-dB bandwidth accordingly shifts to lower frequency region. Finally, the resonance at 2.4 GHz becomes stronger when the top cover exists. The radiation pattern of the patch antenna is also strongly affected by the ground structure and the existence of the top cover. In both the return loss and the radiation pattern, 3-dimensional simulations are shown to be an efficient tool.

Broadband antennas have late-time ringing by multi-reflections between feed points and 0pen ends of the antennas, which indicates the narrowband nature of the antenna. The resistive loading has been used to reduce the late time ringing that is important for ground penetrating radar and resonance detection systems in order to prevent masking of target. In this paper, we design an ultra wide band antenna with resistive loading technique to reduce the internal reflections within the antenna.. The designed antenna is implemented and tested to show inIproved characteristics.

In this paper, a low-complexity and low-power soft output multiple input multiple output (MIMO) symbol detector is proposed for mobile devices with two transmit and two receive antennas. The proposed symbol detector can support both the spatial multiplexing mode and spatial diversity mode in single hardware and shows the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) performance. By applying a multi-stage pipeline structure and using a complex multiplier based on the polar-coordinate, the complexity of the proposed architecture is dramatically decreased. Also, by applying a clock-gating scheme to the internal modules for MIMO modes, the power consumption is also reduced. The proposed symbol detector was designed using a hardware description language (HDL) and implemented using a 65nm CMOS standard cell library. With the proposed architecture, the proposed MIMO detector takes up an area of approximately $0.31mm^2$ with 183K equivalent gates and achieves a 150Mbps throughput. Also, the power estimation results show that the proposed MIMO detector can reduce the power consumption by a maximum of 85% for the various test cases.

A method to improve isolation characteristics of internal MIMO antenna systems for wireless portable devices operating in the $2.3{\sim}2.4$ GHz band is presented. The proposed system incorporates multiple pairs of L-slots between the two antennas in the ground plane, which operate like a band-stop filter, suppressing mutual coupling between the antennas and resulting in improved isolation. A MIMO antenna system with 6 pairs of L-slots shows reflection loss of -26.4 dB and isolation of -37.5 dB.

In this paper, WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) On-body system using the surface-oriented antenna about the impact of human internal organs were analyzed through experiments. The received signal strength is measured for effect of human using the human model and the phantom of torso. Experiments are performed in anechoic chamber without moving and measured by Vector Network Analyzer. This paper confirms the effect of human body by comparing the human model and the phantom of torso. And also know the human internal organs effect on the antennas loss of received signal strength by measured data.

In this paper, we proposed a multiband internal antenna for LTE mobile handset that could be used for mobile devices. The proposed antenna has a volume of $50mm(W){\times}21mm(L){\times}5mm(H)$, ground plane size is $60mm(W){\times}100mm(L)$, and covers 9 service frequency bands including LTE(Long Term Evolution) band with VSWR(Vlotage Standing Wave Ratio) less than 3. With rapid change of technologies, people wants to include more function into one device. In addition, each country uses different frequency band for traffic service, it is necessary to design multiband antenna for mobile phone since traveling foreign country needs roaming. And if we can cover several services with one antenna, cost and volume needed for antennas are minimized. A HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) of the Ansoft Corporation based on a finite element method is employed to analyze the proposed antenna in the design process and to compare the simulation and experimental results.

Dual band internal antennas were fabricated with Ag conducting paste of various preparation conditions and different print thickness by silk screen print. We have investigated microwave properties were compared Ag conducting paste antenna with copperplate antenna at 800 MHz and 1,800 MHz. Gain of Ag conducting paste antenna was improved when preparation conditions were the single size Ag particle, using dry type resin and high Ag containing percent. However, it was lower than that of copperplate antenna within $0.1\~2.0dBi$ at 800MHz. In addition, it was improved at 800MHz when thickness of Ag conducting paste was printed more than skin depth but it was held after critical print thickness. On the other hand, it was reached level of copperplate antenna at 1,800MHz.

A large-area (830mm ${\times}$ 1,020mm) inductively coupled plasma source with a six internal straight antennas was developed for large area FPD etch process applications and the effects of magnetic fields employing permanent magnets on the plasma characteristics were investigated. By employing the magnetic fields perpendicular to the six straight antenna currents using permanent magnets, improved plasma characteristics such as increase of the ion density and decrease of both electron temperature and plasma potential could be achieved in addition to the stability of the plasma possibly due to the reduction of the electron loss. However, the application of the magnetic field decreased the plasma uniformity slightly even though the uniformity within 10% could be maintained in the 800mm processing area.

A broadband antenna using a main and a sub antenna for the mobile communication terminal such as mobile phone and ITS terminal is designed. Two antennas are based on the hybrid antenna that is operating both a monopole and a IFA(Inverted F Antenna). It's applied the transmission line to connect both antennas. Sub antenna located in small space of the terminal allows space usability for the terminal design. Antenna for the hexa-frequency band of LTE700, CDMA, GSM, DCS, PCS and WCDMA is designed and implemented on the bare PC board that is same size of the mobile phone. This antenna was measured 3 : 1 VSWR over the whole design band. And average gains and efficiencies were-3.78 ~ -2.62dBi and 41.9 ~ 54.73% for LTE700/CDMA/GSM frequency band, -3.75 ~ -1.84dBi and 42.19 ~ 65.46% for DCS/PCS/WCDMA frequency band.
