A design method for minimizing transmission loss of a broadband right-angle transition from a coaxial cable to a microstrip line is presented. The right-angle transition has been widely used where printed circuit applications need to be fed from behind the ground plane using coaxial line. To obtain the minimized transmission loss over the whole operating frequency range of the transition, design parameters such as ground aperture and probe diameters, ground aperture offset, and stub length are optimized using a commercial electromagnetic simulation software. Results are presented for the optimum right-angle transition from an SMA connector to a microstrip line on common reinforced 0.787 mm thick PTFE substrates. Measurements of a fabricated transition show that reflection coefficient is less than -22 dB and insertion loss is less than 0.45 dB over $0.05{\sim}20GHz$.

In this paper, we propose the CSLR(: Complementary Single Loop Resonators)-loaded inset fed patch antenna with a conducting reflector to improve the radiation patterns. Reflector of the proposed antenna is located below about ${\lambda}_0/4$ from the ground plane of the patch, the size is about two times of the patch. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on the substrate which has a dielectric constant and thickness with 2.5 and 0.787 mm, respectively. Simulation results are obtained by using the HFSS, 3D EM Solver based Finite Element Method(: FEM). The resonant frequency and matching characteristics of the antenna with reflector are substantially the same as when there is no change in the antenna without reflector, it is confirmed that radiation patterns are significantly improved by the reflector.

This paper presents a dual band circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna. The antenna consists of two corner truncated patches implemented in one plane and single feed point. The input signal is directly excited to the patch 2 and the patch 1 is fed from patch 2 by coupling between two patches. The antenna is operated at 900 MHz and 2.45 GHz bands and has the right hand circularly polarized radiation pattern at all. The measured gains of the antenna are 2.95 dBic at 900 MHz band and 4.6 dBic at 2.45 GHz band.

This paper presents a novel design for a simple rectangular ring with an open-ended monopole antenna that is well suited to DCS/PCS/UMTS/WLAN applications for dual-band operations. A microstrip-fed rectangular monopole antenna is first designed and then modified to introduce the rectangular ring with an open-ended antenna and a rectangular slit in the ground plane. Prototypes of the proposed antenna were fabricated and tested. The antenna, resonating at 1,405 MHz and 4,840 MHz, has a -10 dB impedance bandwidth of about 1,695 and 1,530 MHz (1,220~2,815 and 4,495~6,025 MHz), or about 79.06 % and 29.09 %. The observed 2D radiation patterns and 3D gain performance of the antenna in the operation bands are discussed.

In this work, a compact patch antenna based on a low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) has been presented for V-band system-on-package (SoP) applications. In order to integrate it with transceiver block, a waveguide (W/G) to embedded microstrip line (eMSL) vertical transition was designed using slot-fed double stacked patch antennas for easy assembly and wide bandwidth. The $2{\times}2$ patch antenna integrating the transition was designed and fabricated in the 5-layer LTCC dielectrics. The whole size of the fabricated antenna including the $2{\times}2$ patches, transition and W/G was $20{\times}24{\times}5.39mm^3$. The fabricated antenna has achieved a 10 dB impedance bandwidth of 2.45 GHz from 61 to 63.45 GHz.

A novel design for a simple rectangular ring with open-ended monopole antenna wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed in this article. The proposed antenna consists of an open-ended rectangular ring, an inverted L-strip, and a rectangular slit in the ground plane, and is fed by a 50 ${\Omega}$ microstrip feed-line. Prototypes of the proposed antenna were designed, fabricated, and tested. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna receives 2.3125-2.775 GHz and 4.8625-6.7125 GHz with a return loss less than -10 dB, covering the required bandwidths of the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN standards. Meanwhile, the 2D radiation patterns and 3D gain performance of the antenna in the operation bands were also observed and discussed.

We analyzed the cross-shaped microstripline-fed slot antenna with the reflector using FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method in this paper. The proposed antenna uses RR Duroid-5880 substrate(relative permittivity 2.2 and height(1.578 mm) of dielectrics), and compares the optimized results of other kind substrates. The maximum bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 1.91 GHz to 5.21 GHz, which is approximately 1.437 octave for the VSWR $\leq$ 2. It was found that the bandwidth of the antenna depend highly on the length of the horizontal and vertical feedline as well as the offset position of the feedline. The experimented data for the VSWR and the radiation pattern of the antenna are also represented.

This paper introduces a low-cost, high-performance mmWave antenna array module at 77 GHz. Conventional waveguide transitions have been replaced by 3D CPW-microstrip transitions which are much simpler to realize. They are compatible with low-cost substrate fabrication processes, allowing easy integration of ICs in 3D multi-chip modules. An antenna array is designed and implemented using multilayer coupled-fed patch antenna technology. The proposed $16{\times}16$ array antenna has a fractional bandwidth of 8.4% (6.5 GHz) and a 23.6-dBi realized gain at 77 GHz.

A general analysis of a microstrip-to-vertically mounted slotline(VMS) coupler is presented with a view to developing an equivalent circuit, and the efficient evaluation of the related circuit element values. Based on this theory, the effects of frequency and structure parameters such as aperture length and VMS width on the characteristics of the coupler are studied. In order to check the validity of the proposed analysis and design theory, a C-band linearly tapered slot antenna fed by an aperture-coupled back-to-back microstripline-to- VMS coupling structure is optimally designed using a hybrid genetic algorithm. Moreover, the computed characteristics from the network analysis is compared to the measurement and simulation results. The obtained results fully validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed network model.
