In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using slot on the ground plane and microstrip shunt open stub. The microstrip shunt open stub and slot exhibit the different stopband response. The combined characteristics of these structures gives the ultra-wide stopband characteristics and the coupling effect between slots on the ground plane makes the prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 20.1 mm ${\times}$ 18.7 mm has -3 ㏈ cutoff frequency at 1.187 ㎓ and -20 ㏈ stopband from 1.33 ㎓ to over 20 ㎓ and the insertion loss in the passband is less than -0.4 ㏈ form DC to 1 ㎓.

In this study, a 28-GHz U-slot array antenna for a wideband communication system is proposed. The U-slot patch antenna structure consists of a patch, two U-shaped slot, and a ground plane. With the additional U-slot, the proposed antenna has around 10% of bandwidth at -10 dB. To increase gain, the U-slot antenna is arrayed to $2{\times}2$. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated. The $2{\times}2$ array antenna volume is $41.3mm{\times}46mm{\times}0.508mm$. The proposed antenna was measured and compared with the simulation results to prove the reliability of the design. The bandwidth and gain of the measurement results are 3.35 GHz and 13 dBi, respectively and the operating frequency is around 28 GHz.

A compact square patch antenna with reconfigurable circular polarization (CP) at 2.4 GHz is proposed. Circular polarization is generated by an arc-shaped slot on the ground plane. In order to switch the CP orientation, the current flow direction of the patch is reconfigured via the PIN diodes mounted on the slot. As the slot and bias circuit are not placed on the patch side, the proposed antenna radiates a CP wave without alteration in the main beam direction. From the experimental results, the impedance and CP bandwidths of the proposed antenna have been demonstrated for up to 80 MHz and 25 MHz, respectively.

In this paper, a multiple U-shaped slot antenna for 5.25㎓~5.35㎓ is designed, fabricated, and measured. The prototype consists of U-slot and two invert U-slot. To obtain enough bandwidth, the foam layer is inserted between ground plane and substrate. Important parameters in the design are U-slot length, width, position, airgap length, and feed point. From these parameters optimized, a multiple U-shaped slot antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results of the antenna are compared with its simulated results. The resonant frequency of the fabricated multiple U-shaped slot antenna is 5.25㎓ the bandwidth for approximately 7.4%(VSWR<1.5) and the gain is 2.9~5.3dBi. The experimental far-field patterns are stable across the pass band. The 3dB bandwidth in H-Plane and I-Plane are 62$^{\circ}$ and 50$^{\circ}$, respectively.

In this paper, we improve the matching impedance of antennas by inserting parasitic slots on the ground plane of right-angle triangular slot antennas. The designed antennas characteristics are analyzed by using Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD) method, the specific design frequency is 10 GHz and match impedance is 50 ohms. Simulation results show that the efficient of return loss and radiation patterns are improved and enhance. In this case, the right-angle triangular slot antennas with parasitic slots have matching impedance better than antennas without parasitic slots.

This paper proposes a theoretical analysis of hidden device detection and a design of multiband circular polarization patch array antenna for non-linear junction detector system application. A good axial ratio of circular polarization patch antenna is realized by a new approach that employs inclined slots, two rectangular grooves and a truncated ground for the conventional antenna. A good axial ratio of the 1.5 dB lower is measured by having an asymmetric gap distance between the ground planes of the coplanar waveguide feeding structure. The common ground plane of the linear array has an optimum trapezoidal slot array to reduce the mutual coupling without increasing the distance between the radiators. The higher gain of about 1 dBi is realized by using the novel common ground structure. The measured return loss, gain, and axial ratio of the proposed single radiator, as well as the proposed array antennas, showed a good agreement with the simulated results.

In this paper, A planar UWB antenna with notched WLAN band, 802.11a band (5.15 ~ 5.825GHz), by using slot and slit is designed by using CST Microwave Studio. The notched bandwidth can be controlled by the length and width of the slot and slit in the patch and ground plane and it's radiation characteristics are examined through the experiments. The bandwidth based on the -10dB return loss level can be covered the full UWB band (3.1 ~ 10.6GHz) with a notched WLAN band (5.147 ~ 5.83GHz). Also, the experimental radiation pattern is almost omnidirectional in the H-plane.

In this paper, a design method for a wideband LPF for harmonic suppression applications is investigated. The proposed wideband LPF is comprised of four circular slot pairs with different diameters, which are added symmetrically in the ground plane of a CPW transmission line. Four circular slot pairs act as a defected ground structure and provide a wideband low pass characteristic. The circular slot with the smallest diameter is located at the side of port 1, and the diameter of the circular slot is increased as it goes toward port 2. The low pass characteristics of each circular slot are compared with the proposed wideband LPF. The final designed LPF was fabricated on FR4 substrate, and its characteristics were tested. The measured S11 characteristic was maintained at over -3.3 dB in the frequency range of 1.89-20.00 GHz band, whereas the S21 characteristic was less than -21.4 dB in the frequency range of 2.66-20.00 GHz.
