Recently, the dual-polarized antenna array has drawn attention due to the dependency of its signal processing gain on the signal polarization. Even though this polarization dependency makes it possible to mitigate a non-right-hand circularly polarized (non-RHCP) jamming signal from the same direction as a GPS signal, the dual-polarized antennas are not yet widely used for various applications. This study suggests a method that can acquire the polarization dependency of the signal-processing gain by intentionally misaligning antenna elements in a single-polarized antenna array. The simulation results show that the proposed method can successfully mitigate a non-RHCP jammer from the same direction as a GPS signal as if a dual-polarized antenna array does and provide comparable signal-to-jammer-plus-noise ratio (SJNR) performance with a completely aligned single-polarized antenna array and a dual-polarized antenna array.

The antenna arrays are known to be effective for GPS anti-jamming and the performance can be improved further if a dual-polarized antenna array is used. However, when the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) beamformer is used as a signal processing algorithm for the dual-polarized antenna array, the anti-jamming performance can degrade in the presence of errors in the steering vector that is a key factor of the MVDR beamformer. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of the steering vector error on the anti-jamming performance of the dual-polarized antenna array is analyzed by simulations and the result is compared to that of the single-polarized antenna array.

Dual-polarized transmission is one of the effective methods to transmit such a high speed data thanks to two independent channel leads to the orthogonal feature between RHCP (Right-Hand Circular Polarization) and LHCP (Left-Hand Circular Polarization). However, in practical case, the transmitted signal by RHCP polarized antenna in satellite can be occurred at the output port of LHCP polarized antenna in ground station, vice versa. XPD (Cross-Polarization Discrimination) is the ratio of the signal level at the output of a receiving antenna that is nominally co-polarized to the transmitting antenna to the output of a receiving antenna of the same gain but nominally orthogonally polarized to the transmitting antenna. In this paper, the detailed estimation of XPD within the interface between satellite and ground station is written and the influence of XPD to link performance is also described.

본 연구에서는 원형편파 특성을 갖는 마이크로스트립형 패치 안테나를 제작하였다. 먼저 마이크로스트립 안테나의 이론적 해석을 통하여 90도 위상차로 인하여 발생하는 원형편파 안테나의 패치 형태를 연구하였으며, 원형편파 중에서도 좌선회 원형편파와 우선회 원형편파 안테나에 대해서도 연구를 행하였다. 이러한 해석을 토대로, 기판을 설정하고 모멘트 법의 Ensemble 5.0을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 한 후 가장 적절한 원형편파 안테나를 구상하였다. 그로부터 서로의 위상 차 문제에 대하여 해결 방안을 연구한 후 원형편파 안테나를 설계하였고, 이를 제작하였다. 또한, 제작된 원형편파 안테나특성을 Network Analysis를 통하여 분석하였다.

A Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) antenna producing both high-gain and circularly-polarized (CP) behavior is proposed. To increase antenna gain and obtain CP characteristics, a superstrate composed of square patches with a pair of truncated corners is placed above the linearly polarized patch antenna with an approximately half-wavelength distance from the ground plane at the operating frequency. The proposed antenna has the advantages of high gain, a simple design, and an excellent boresight axial ratio over the operating frequency bandwidth. Moreover, used in an FPC antenna, the proposed superstrate converts a linear polarization produced by a patch antenna into a circular polarization. In addition, the cavity antenna produces left-hand circular-polarization and right-hand circular-polarization when a patch antenna inside the cavity generates x-direction and y-direction polarization, respectively. The measured and simulated results verify the performance of the antenna.

An L-band omnidirectional circular polarized wave antenna is designed and evaluated for transmitting/receiving of vehicle data. Conventional linear polarized wave antenna can not reveive clearly all of the vehicle data which come from the wide driving test range on account of distortion. To overcome this problem, an omnidirectional circular polarized wave antenna is required for the design, first of all, the characteristics, design principle and theoretical background of circular polarized wave with a little signal loss have been reviewed. The designed antenna characteristics an analysed and compared to the desired ones. Our results demonstrate that the strength of vehicle data is flat enough over the full test range using this new antenna.

This paper presents the design of linear and circular polarization baseball- shaped circular microstrip antenna (BCMA) with 3-dimensional structure using perturbation effect to reduce its size, which runs at 1.575GHz frequency bandwidth. As a result, the size of linear polarized antenna could be reduced up to 23.7% in patch diameter and 41.8% in its area. Linear polarized antenna has -26.04dB of return loss, 69MHz(4.38%) of -l0dB bandwidth, 4.51dBd of gain, and its -3dB beamwidth are 99$^{\circ}$ in E-plane, 83$^{\circ}$ in H-plane. Circular polarized antenna has -17.43dB of return loss, 113.7MHz(7.2%) of -l0dB bandwidth, 2dBd of gain, 2dB of axial ratio and its -3dB beamwidth are 87$^{\circ}$, 86$^{\circ}$ x-axis polarized, 80$^{\circ}$, 84$^{\circ}$ y-axis polarized. It has 82mm of diameter, which is 28.5% of linear polarized CMPA. Therefore, in this paper we verified that baseball-shaped 3-dimensional structure of circular microstrip patch antenna applied with perturbation effect is appropriate for miniaturization.

본 논문에서는 실내 무선환경에서 최적 편파 다이버시티를 구성하는 방안을 제시하기 위하여 먼저 이론적 해석을 통하여 교차편파식별도(XPD : Cross Polarization Discrimination)를 해석하고 이를 실제 측정 데이터와 비교하였다. 그 결과 아직까지 본 연구실에서 가장 좋은 편파 다이버시티로 확인된 바 있는 원형편파안테나 로 송신하고 수직, 수평편파안테나로 수신하는 경우(CV-CH)의 교차편파식별도(XPD)는 수직편파안테나로 송신하고 수직, 수평편파안테나로 수신하는 경우(VV-VH)와 수평면파안테나로 송신하고 수평편파, 수직편파 안테나로 수신하는 경우(HH-HV)보다 우수함을 확인하였다. 본고에서는 더 좋은 CV -CH 편파다이버시티 구 성을 위해 수신단에서 교차편파식별도(XPD) 값만큼 보상하여 누적확률분포도를 통한 다이버시티 효과를 평 가하였다. 그 결과 보상을 하여 교차편파식별도(XPD) 값을 낮게 한 경우가 보상하지 않은 경우보다 상당한 다이버시티 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 한편, 송신측의 원형편파 안테나의 축 비를 교정하여 타원편파 안테나 로 구성하고, 수신측에서 수평 및 수직 안테나로 수신하면 신호간의 교차편파식별도(XPD)가 최소화되어 편파다이버시티 효과를 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, in order to investigate the fading reduction effect of narrowband and broadband signals in an indoor multipath propagation environment, both the received narrowband signal while a vehicle unit in motion and the frequency sweeped broadband signal received by vertical polarized antenna, horizontal polarized antenna and circularly polarized antenna are analyzed. Specifically, in order to evaluate polarization diversity effect, we examined the difference of fading reduction effect between the polarization diversity reception and the space diversity reception. Using the correlation coefficient and correlation graph for the polarization diversity branches, the diversity effect is evaluated. And also, using the cumulative distribution for the received signal strength simulated by diversity reception, the diversity effect is also estimated. From the evaluation results it was found that the polarization diversity which use a circularly polarized antenna at the transmitting end and the vertical and horizontal polarized antenna branches at the receiving end is markedly excellent.

본 논문에서는 차량의 각종 Data 송/수신용 L-Band (1435MHz~1535MHz) 무지향성 원편파 안테나의 설계연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 직선편과 안테나가 장애물 및 지면의 반사잡음의 영향으로 수신신호 크기가 감쇄되어 시험로 일부지역에서 신호손실을 초래하여 안테나 교체가 필요하였다. 그래서 반사의 의한 신호감쇄가 적은 원편파 안테나 특성과 이론적인 배경 및 설계원리를 연구하여 안테나를 제작하였고, 복사특성 실험을 통하여 설계치 보다 우수한 성능을 확인하였다. 또한 차량성능 원격측정 시스템을 이용하여 실차 실험한 직선편파 안테나와 비교하여 수신레벨이 5dB이상 향상됨과, 시험로 전지역에서 신호의 손실없이 획득 가능함을 입증하였다.
