In this paper, the single patch microstrip antenna and gap coupled broadband microstrip patch antenna using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain method) are analyzed. Mur's 2nd absorbing boundary condition to minimize reflected wave is applied. Return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, and input impedance by the length and width of driving patch, the length and width of parasitic patch, and the distance between driving patch and parasitic patch have been analyzed. Design parameters and radiation patterns of broadband antenna have been also shown.

In this paper, we propose a three-element CRPA array with improved low-elevation gain. The proposed antenna consists of a feed patch and a radiating patch, and the feed patch is connected by a coaxial cable. The radiating patch is electromagnetically coupled to the feed patch, which allows to improve the low-elevation gain of the antenna. To demonstrate the suitability of the proposed antenna, the antenna characteristics are measured in a full anechoic chamber. The resulting bore-sight gain is 2.8 dBic with an axial ratio of 2.7 dB, and the average gain at the low-elevation direction of $75^{\circ}$ is -1.4 dBic. The results verify that the proposed antenna is suitable for CRPA arrays with anti-jamming capability.

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.

Bandwidth enhancement technique for a proximity coupled patch antenna is investigated. The bandwidth and radiation characteristics of a proximity coupled patch antenna with an integrated impedance matching network printed on substrates with various dielectric constants and thicknesses are compared to those of a proximity coupled patch antenna without an impedance matching network. The bandwidth of a proximity coupled patch antenna with an integrated impedance matching network is greatly increased than that of a proximity coupled patch antenna without an impedance matching network without the degradation of radiation characteristics.

The present paper presents an array antenna of a microstrip patch for 5G applications. Four rectangular microstrip patch elements are arranged in parallel and series to form an array antenna. Two insets are made on both sides of each patch element to achieve a wide frequency bandwidth of 23.97-31.60 GHz. To attain a high gain and wider bandwidth, the microstrip patch antenna is fed using series and corporate feeding networks. Further, three director elements on top of the top-most patch elements, and one reflector element at the open end of each patch element, are added. The addition of the Yagi elements improved the overall gain and acquired a higher radiation efficiency throughout the operating frequency bandwidth, with the array antenna achieving a maximum peak gain of 8.7 dB. The proposed antenna is built on a low-loss and low-cost substrate of FR4-eproxy. The proposed antenna design with a simple structure is suitable for Internet of Things and 5G applications.

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 integrated structure of a two-element microstrip patch antenna with two feeds for GPS/PCS dual-band operation is proposed. The radiating element for PCS operation is a novel broad band low-profile cylindrical monopole top-loaded with a shorted meander patch, which gives linearly polarized conical radiation pattern and size reduction of patch due to meander line. The radiating element for GPS operation is a novel square-ring microstrip patch with truncated corners and slits. which provide circularly polarized broadside radiation patterns and size reduction due to slots. using dielectric substrate in GPS antenna of proposed antenna provide to improve isolation between two feeds and reduce size of patch. The proposed antenna achieves the bandwidth and polarization requirements of GPS and PCS systems.

A low cross-polarization broadband stacked patch antenna is proposed. By means of the stacked patch configuration and probe-fed strip feed technique, the VSWR 1.2:1 bandwidth of the patch antenna is enhanced to 22% from 804 MHz to 1,002 MHz, which outperforms the other available patch antennas (<10%). Furthermore, the antenna has a cross-polarization level of less than -20 dB and a gain level of about 9 dBi across the operating bandwidth. Simulation results are compared with the measurements, and a good agreement is observed.
