본 논문에서는 Barrier coupler type UHF 센서의 현장적용 및 감도개선을 위해 외부잡음의 차폐방법과 광대역 안테나를 Barrier coupler type UHF센서에 적용시켜 센서의 성능을 개선시켰다. GIS 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전 신호를 검출하기 위하여 UHF대역(0.3${\sim}$3GHz)의 전자파 신호의 검출이 가능한 광대역 Rectangular 패치 안테나를 barrier coupler type UHF 센서에 적응 설계하였으며, Rectangular patch antenna를 배열(array) 했을 때의 특성들을 비교하였다. 이론 위해 상용화된 EM Simulator를 이용하여 센서의 방향성과 감도 특성을 검토하여 설계 및 제작하였다. 개발된 센서의 실제 특성을 분석하기 위해서 network analyzer로 센서의 특성을 분석하였고, 실규모의 GIS 챔버를 사용하여 다양한 결함에 대한 센서의 감도와 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 제작된 barrier coupler type UHF센서가 가스절연기기(GIS)의 부 부방전 신호를 검출할수 있음을 입증하였고, 광대역 외장형센서의 경우 patch antenna의 구조에 크게 상관하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 향후에는 GIS 내장형 센서와 비교 연구론 통해 barrier coupler type 센서의 성능을 개선하고자 한다.

In this paper, We proposed a rectangular slot antenna with CPW feeder. Slot antennas fed by CPW are attractive due to the simple fabrication simplicity and ease of integration with active devices. This antenna consists of two parts, inner patch and outer patch to realize wide-band antenna by multi-frequency. Also, We fabricated a proposed rectangular slot antenna, confirm characteristics of multi-frequency by tuning antenna parameters, inner antenna's location and size. The experimental results show that each resonant frequency of a fabricated antenna is measured at almost 1, 9GHz, 2.8GHz, 3, 5GHz, 4, 9GHz. In radiation patterns each resonant frequency, radiation pattern 4-th resonant frequency is the same ad that of TM11 in patch antenna. Therefore, the experimental and theoretical results shows that a proposal rectangular slot antenna have triple resonant frequencies.

In this paper, the leaky wave readiation characteristics of a microstrip rectangular patch array is presented. The reflection and transmission characteristics are analyzed using the equivalent transmission line method. Since the leaky wave is generated from the periodic array, using the Floquet'theorem, leaky wave frequency range is predicted and confirmed by the measured reflection and transmission characterstics of the array. A 17 element microstrip patch array at X-Band is designed and tested. Teh scattering Characteristics show good agreement woth those obtained from the equivalent transmission line analysis. The radiatio characteristics at 10GHz using this method show about 3${\circ}$ shift in main lobe angle compared with measured results.

In this paper, a monopole type antenna applicable to WLAN and WiMAX standard frequency bands is designed and fabricated. The proposed antenna is designed to have rectangular ring and rectangular patch based on microstrip feeding for triple band characteristics and inserted two stub in the top of the rectangular ring patch to enhance impedance bandwidth characteristics. The proposed antenna has $18.0mm(2W_1+W_2){\times}33.0mm(L_7+L_8+L_9)$ on a dielectric substrate of $27.0mm(W_1){\times}44mm(L_1){\times}1.0mm$ size. From the fabrication and measurement results, impedance bandwidths of 660MHz (2,08 to 2.74GHz) for 2.4/2.5MHz band, 488MHz (3.40 to 3.88GHz) for 3.5MHz band, and 2,180MHz (4.61 to 6.79GHz) for 5,000MHz band were obtained based on the impedance bandwidth. The proposed antenna also obtained the measured gain and radiation pattern in the anechoic chamber.

The resonance characteristic of microstrip antenna with an airgap between the substrate layer and ground plane is investigated. The study is performed by using a rigorous Green’s function formulation in the spectral domain and Galerkin’s moment method calculation. The numerical convergence using sinusoidal basis functions, the unknown surface current distribution in the rectangular patch, is discussed. Numerical result for the effects of airgap and patch length on the complex resonant frequencies of the rectangular microstrip structure are also presented

In this paper, using newly proposed size reduction technique, the aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna for a repeater system in a mobile communication cellular band (824~849 MHz) is developed with a wide bandwidth, small size, light weight, and low cost. The resonant frequency of microstrip antennas is related to the electric field distribution of the radiating patch. The field strength of $TM_{01}$ mode of a rectangular patch antenna is strongest at each of the extremities of the radiating patch, but negligible at center. Therefore, the size of a patch antenna can be effectively minimized by inserting the narrow rectangular dielectric into just under the edges of the resonant Patch. This Paper also proposes the bandwidth improvement technique by using under-coupling technique with a tuning stub. The VSWR is less than 1.5 : 1 for the whole cellular band. The simulation tool was HFSS, Agilent Technologies, Inc.

In this paper, the characteristics of Koch island microstrip patch antenna are investigated by numerical and experimental methods. The Koch patch is fractal shaped antenna which can be characterized by two properties such as space-filling and self-similarity. Due to its space-filling property of fractal structure, the proposed Koch fractal patch antennas are smaller in size than that of conventional square patch antenna. From numerical and experimental results, it is found that as the iteration number and iteration factor of Koch patch increase, its resonance frequency becomes lower than that of conventional patch, thus contributes to antenna size reduction. In particular, when the fractal iteration factor is 1/4, the fractal antenna is 45% smaller in size than that of conventional patch, while maintaining radiation patterns comparable to those of rectangular antenna and cross polarization level is about -20~-14 dB.

In this paper, to reduce the size of patch, three types of 3-dimensional patch antennas which are one-directionally-corrugaged type, rectangular ring-likely corrugated type, and lattice-likely corrugated type rectangular microstrip patch antennas(MPA) are designed and fabricated at the 1.575 GHz. As the result, one-directionally corrugated rectangular MPA is reduced in the resonant length of patch by 21.4% than that of general plane MPA. -10 dB bandwidth(B.W) is 62 MHz(3.9 %) and this is broader than that(39 MHz, 2.5 %) of plane MPA by 23 MHz(1.5 %). The gain is 5.8 dBd and this is reduced by 0.9 dB than that(6.7 dBd) of plane MPA. Half power beamwidth(HPBW) is broadened by 18$^{\circ}$ than that of plane MPA in the E-plane and this is due to the reduced length of patch. For rectangular ring-likely corrugated retangular MPA, the patch size is miniaturized by 21.6 % than that of plane MPA. For lattice-likely corrugated rectangular MPA, in the linear polarization, the size of patch is miniaturized by 43.3 % than that of plane MPA. -10 dB B.W is 70 MHz(4.4 %) and this is broadened than that of plane MPA by 31 MHz(2 %). Gain is 2.2 dBd and this is smaller than that of plane MPA by 4.5 dB. HPBW is increased in both E-plane and H-plane by 22$^{\circ}$ and 13$^{\circ}$, respectively. For circular polarization, the size of patch is reduced by 41 % than that by 41 %. The axial ratio(AR) is 0.8 dB at the 1.575 GHz and the axial ratio bandwidth(ARBW) within 2 dB is 20 MHz(1.27 %) and this is increased by 10 MHz(0.63 %) than that 10 MHz(0.63 %) of plane MPA. From all the results above, it is conformed that the proposed antenna has merit in size reduction of patch and in the input impedance B.W, and is more profitable in many application than the general plane type MPA.

There has been a constant effort to study methods for increasing the bandwidth of antenna by microstrip patch. In this paper, we propose a special type of the external rectangular patch, for design and analysis of an antenna using a local multi-point distribution system (LMDS). We minimized electromagnetic emissions from the fringing effect. As a result, we obtained an increase in antenna efficiency and frequency bandwidth. We were also able to design the wide band antenna easily, because of the difference in parameter between the aimed and the simulated antenna was reduced greatly. In comparison with the rectangular patch antenna, the banded one has a wider bandwidth.
