This letter proposes a tapered stacked microstrip antenna for application in small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which has advantages in mountainous terrains. With its tapered structure and increased bandwidth designed to operate at the resonance frequency of 2.4 GHz, the proposed antenna improves directivity, accuracy, and precision of small UAVs. The test flight results show the proposed tapered antenna has a three times higher impedance capability of 350 MHz based on VSWR<2. The transmission pattern is also more reliable than that of previous antenna designs.

In this paper, an optimum design center frequency proposes portable RFID reader antenna that is 920MHz frequency using the Taguchi's Method. Proposed antenna is cut corner of opposite angle and it's structure that have slots in four sides microstrip patch of a perfect square shape. This slot structure can miniaturize microstrip patch antenna and confirmed through an experiment that size of antenna about 18% decreases than structure that slot does not exist. Because compact antenna that have structure of slot changes according to complex design variables, analysis and experimental design for minimization of experiment number of times are required for optimum antenna design. In this research, designed antenna that have optimum structure when introduce and designs table of orthogonal arrays of the Taguchi's Method been experimental design that can minimize analysis and experiment number of times, achieve responsiveness analysis of main elements and analyzes the effect and minimizes design repeat with analysis result. Presented experiment result about antenna special quality that permittivity is 4.4 and manufactures to board of Epoxy 3.2T.

This paper introduces a novel horn antenna for circular polarization using a planar-type radiator. This antenna can be divided to two parts, microstrip antenna and square horn. The microstrip antenna has the role of feeder and polarizer of the horn antenna, and it is designed to stacked type having metal spacer for high gain, high isolation and wideband characteristic. Using the proposed antenna structure, the horn antenna needs not additional structure such as feeder and polarizer, and the size of it can be considerably reduced. The horn antenna has typical gain of 8dBi and 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth around 4.9%.This antenna can widely used for various antenna system for mobile and satellite communication using circular polarization expecially in high frequency band.

A clear and efficient design method for ultra-wideband microstrip-to-coplanar stripline(CPS) transition, which is based on the analytical expressions of the whole transitional structure, is presented. The conformal mapping is applied to obtain the characteristic impedance of the transitional structure within 3.2 % accuracy as compared with the EM-simulation results. The transition is designed to provide broadband impedance matching using Klopfenstein taper. The implemented transition performs less than 1 dB insertion loss per transition for frequencies from 5.39~40 GHz.

In this paper, the slot-coupled microstrip antenna structure with reflector is used for broadband. The reflector of this structure is designed to reduce the radiation emitted from the slot and minimize the influence of external electromagnetic environment while reducing the overall antenna height. Experimental results show that the antenna is very well matched with VSWR below 1.4 at 1.942.17GHz, and the maximum gain of the antenna in this band was measured 9.21dBi. The measured results shows that it can be used in the wireless communication field or IoT field of other frequency band in the future.

In this paper, we studied the design and fabrication of $2{\times}2$ microstrip array antenna at around 5 GHz band.. To improve of frequency properties of antenna, feed microstrip patch antenna was simulated by HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). A $2{\times}2$ array antenna was designed and fabricated by photolithograph on an FR4 substrate (dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm). The fabricated $2{\times}2$ array antenna showed a center frequency, the minimum return loss and bandwidth were 5.3 GHz, -24dB, and 390MHz, respectively.

In this paper, to improve the bandwidth of microstrip antenna, we discussed parasitic patch structure coupled capacitively at radiating slot. To reduce the overal size of antenna,$\lambda$/4 short structure is accepted instead of $\lambda$/2 patch. Since ground plane is reduced, backward radiation is occurred. The characteristics of the designed antenna is evaluated, based on the transmission line model and the aperture analysis method. And by computer program the radiation pattern and return loss are evaluated. As simulation results, backward radiation is -15 dB. Bandwidth of constructed antenna is 167 MHz at the resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz, which is very broad, compared to conventional microstrip antennas. Therefore the proposed antenna will be suitable for very wide bandwidth communications.

The conventional geometry of a plate microstrip resonator is made up of a single metallic patch, which is printed on a monolayer dielectric substrate. Its arrangement is simple and easy to make, but it is limited in its functional abilities. Many searches have been realized to improve the bandwidth and the gain of the microstrip resonators. Among the various configurations proposed in the open literature, the stacked geometry seems to be very promising. By appropriate design, it is able to provide the operation in dual frequency mode, wide bandwidth enough and high gain. The theoretical investigations of structures composed of two stacked anti-reflection coatings, enhanced metallic coatings are available in the literature, however, for the stacked configurations involving three metallic coatings or more, not to exact or approximate analysis was conducted due to the complexity of the structure.

Recently, As the higher frequency in clock of digital system being demanded and the density of circuits gets high for purpose of making light and minimizing system, the study for solution of digital signal distortion being interested. In this paper, the distortion of square pulse caused by dispersion as it propagates along a single microstrip line and crosstalk between lines on the Multi-Transmission Lines (MTL) is investigated. The dispersion and crosstalk of pulse signals is analyzed regarding to the structure of transmission line such as relative permittivity, substrate height, strip width of the microstrip line and pulse width of signal pulse.
