In this paper, gain loss of KVN (Korean VLBI Network) 21-m shaped Cassegrain antenna due to misalignment of antenna optics is calculated using ray-tracing method. It enables us to estimate alignment tolerances of feed and sub-reflector positioning. According to numerical results, KVN 21-m shaped Cassegrain antenna's gain loss is more sensitive to positions of feed and sub-reflector than in case of the equivalent classical Cassegrain antenna. The result of calculation is believed to be utilized as a possible guideline when checking the performance of the antenna system.

본 논문에서는 Ray-tracing 기법을 이용하여 그레고리안 안테나의 부반사판을 축변환 후 회전하여 급전혼으로 회귀되는 전파를 없애 이득 및 정재파비를 개선 시키고 부반사판의 크기와 전체적인 부피를 줄여 효율적인 구조를 갖는 축변위그레고리안 안테나를 설계하였다. 설계된 급전혼의 방사패턴을 이용하여 급전혼-부반사판-주반사판으로 전달되는 전파의 경로를 추적하여 주반사판 개구면에서의 전계분포를 구하고 이로부터 원거리 복사패턴을 계산하는 프로그램을 작성하여 안테나 성능을 최적화 하였다. 설계된 안테나는 CST와 제작 측정을 통해 계산결과와 비교하여 이득, 빔폭, 방사패턴, 부엽준위, 반사손실이 계산 결과와 매우 유사함을 확인함으로써 Ray-tracing기법에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes four-ring slot resonator-based MIMO antennas of 75×150 mm² without and with CSRR structures in the sub-6-GHz range. These orthogonal-fed antennas have shown diverse characteristics with dual polarization. L-shaped parasitic structures have increased the isolation (i.e., >40 dB) in the single-element antenna over the band of 3.4 GHz-3.8 GHz. A set of three CSRR structures in the MIMO antenna reduced the coupling between antenna ports placed in an inline arrangement and enhanced the isolation from 12 dB to 20 dB and the diversity characteristics. The S-parameters of both MIMO antennas are measured and used to evaluate MIMO parameters like ECC, TARC, MEG, and channel capacity loss. The simulation results show the variations in the gain and directivity on exciting linear and dual polarizations. The diversity performance of the reported MIMO antennas is suitable for 5G applications.

In this paper, we proposed a compact printed monopole antenna with an inverted L-shaped slot for dual-band operations. Two operating frequency bands are achieved with the use of an inverted L-shaped slot etched on the radiating strip for bandwidth enhancement and a defected ground structure for return loss improvement in the higher frequency band. The measured results showthat the proposed antenna has impedance bandwidths (S₁₁< -10 dB) of 270 MHz (1.81-2.08 GHz) and 340 MHz (2.36-2.70 GHz), covering the required bandwidths for PCS (1850.5-1989.5 MHz), CDMA 2000 (1850-1990 MHz), TD-SCDMA (1880-2025 MHz) and 2.4 GHz WLAN (2400-2484 MHz). The measured return loss of the proposed antenna has a good value of approximately 27.2 dB at 2.4 GHz WLAN. The antenna's peak gains also have a high value of 1.92 dBi at 2 GHz and 2.12 dBi at 2.45 GHz. The proposed antenna shows omnidirectional radiation patterns over the entire frequency range of interest.

This paper presents the effects of the position of the split of a split-ring resonator (SRR) on the performance of a composite broadband printed dipole antenna. The antenna is made of two printed dipole arms enclosed by two rectangular and identically printed SRRs. One dipole arm and the SRR are printed on the top side of the substrate, while the other dipole arm and SRR are printed on the bottom side of the same substrate. By changing the position of the split on the SRR, different antenna characteristic values are obtained, namely, for impedance bandwidth and radiation patterns. The split position is thus a critical parameter in antenna design, because it influences the antenna's major performance immensely. Different split positions and their consequences for antenna performance are demonstrated and discussed. The antenna generates linearly polarized radiations, and it is computationally characterized for broadband characteristics. The optimized compact antenna has overall dimensions of 9.6 mm × 74.4 mm × 0.508 mm (0.06λ × 0.469λ × 0.0032λ at 1.895 GHz) with a measured fractional bandwidth of 60.31% (1.32 to 2.46 GHz for |S₁₁| <-10 dB) and a radiation efficiency of >88%.

The sintering behavior and microwave properties of ferrite ($Ba_3Co_{2-2x}Zn_{2x}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics) were investigated for microwave applications. Also PIFA type antenna with ferrite was simulated. All samples were prepared by the solid state reaction method and sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$. All ceramics had relatively density above of 92% compare with theoretical density of $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics. From the XRD pattens, the Z-type phase was existed as main phase in $Ba_3Co_{2-2x}Zn_{2x}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics. The permittivity and permeability of $Ba_3Co_{2-2x}Zn_{2x}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics were increased with Zn additions and decreased rapidly over frequency of 200~600 MHz. Several PIFA type antennas with ferrite and FR4 were simulated. All antenna structure had return loss of less than -10 dB at each resonant frequency. Simulated antenna using both ferrite and FR4 showed size reduction of 25% without a significant decrement of efficiency.

The development of 2-D radiometer is a new technical challenge for space borne remote sensing area. The Y-type antenna array has been proposed as a most efficient configuration because a large alias free FOV and a small-synthesized beam-width can be achieved compared to L-, T-type under the fixed antenna spacing. New configuration of antenna array, which is called sub-Y type configuration, is proposed to obtain a higher angular resolution than the case of Y-type array in the paper. The sub-Y type array is consisted of basic arrays, which are the Y-type array of four antenna elements. To analyze characteristics of the proposed configuration, the synthesized beam pattern is simulated through simulation. The secondary effect of the sub-Y-type is that the reconstructed image is suffered from the alias effect is appeared around the real target. The ghost targets in the reconstructed image can be reduced by the alias suppression algorithm introduced in this paper. In conclusion, the performance evaluation by use of array factor simulation shows more than 37.5% improvement in average for angular resolution and almost similar performance for temperature resolution.
