A cavity-backed two-arm spiral antenna for partial discharge diagnosis is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a two-arm Archimedean spiral, a tapered microstrip balun as spiral antenna feed, and a ring-shaped absorber-loaded cavity. The Archimedean spiral antenna is designed for the operating frequency band of 0.3 GHz to 1.5 GHz and fed by the tapered microstrip balun. The cavity is utilized to transform the bidirectional beam into a unidirectional beam, thereby enhancing gain. The ring-shaped absorber is stacked in the cavity to reduce the reflected waves from the cavity wall. The proposed antenna is designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. A prototype of the proposed antenna is likewise fabricated and tested. The measured radiation patterns are directional to the positive z-axis, and the measured peak gain is 8.13 dBi at a frequency of 1.1 GHz.

In this paper, a UHF cavity-backed spiral antenna for partial discharge diagnosis is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two-arm Archimedean spiral, a cavity, and a balun for feeding. The spiral antenna is designed for 0.3-1.5 GHz operating frequency. Two spiral arms of the proposed antenna are fed by a microstrip tapered-balun. In order to enhance the gain, the cavity is located in the back side of the spiral pattern. The proposed antenna is designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. The designed antenna is also fabricated and tested to validate performance. The measured radiation patterns are directional to the +z-axis and measured peak gain is 9.92 dBi.

In this paper, a SWB (Super-WideBand) dipole antenna with self-complementary structure is proposed for signal intelligence. The proposed antenna consists of a self-complementary dipole antenna and a tapered balun for balanced feeding. The measured -10 dB reflection bandwidth of the proposed antenna is more than 28:1 (0.73-20 GHz) and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 3.25:1 (1.91-6.22 GHz) with RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization) at +z direction. The measured radiation patterns are omni-directional in lower frequency band and bi-directional in higher frequency band. The measured peak gain within -10 dB reflection bandwidth varies from 2.83 dBi to 7.66 dBi.

A new design and its experimental results of a microstrip-fed ultra-wideband tapered slot antenna(TSA) for millimeter-wave systems are presented. By utilizing the ultra-wideband microstrip-to-CPS transition(balun), ultra-wideband characteristics of the inherent TSA are retrieved. Also, the design procedure of the TSA is simplified by performing simple impedance matching between balun and antenna. The proposed TSA is shaped by using the Fermi-Dirac tapering function and corrugated at the outer edge. The implemented antenna demonstrates ultra-wideband performance for frequency ranges from 23 to over 58 GHz with the relatively high and flat antenna gain of 12 to 14 dBi and low sidelobe levels. In addition, a 4-element linear antenna array for phased-array systems and mm-wave sensor applications is also presented.

In this paper is proposed wide band reconfiguration antenna by using PIN diode. The proposed antenna consisted of elliptical dipole and exponential taper balun. The proposed new matching method was exponential tapered balun in this paper. The research paper comprised of two PIN diode and Elliptical dipole. This paper used CPW to CPS feed. We obtained a good band width characteristics result by simulating. This antenna is designed to apply ISM and WiFi band.

본 논문에서는 주파수 무관(frequency independence) 특성을 갖는 자기상보 구조(self-complementary structure)로 된 안테나의 급전선로(feed line)로 사용할 수 있는 초광대역 발룬(ultra-wideband balun)을 제안하였다. 발룬을 설계하기 위해 클로펜스타인 테이퍼(Klopfenstein taper)를 사용하여 임피던스 프로파일(impedance profile)을 구하고 이를 평행 스트립 선로(parallel strip line) 구조로 구현하기 위해 등각사상방법(conformal mapping method)을 이용했다. 설계한 발룬을 직접 제작하여 측정한 결과, 대역폭은 반사손실 -10 dB를 기준으로 할 때 0.45~10.53 GHz까지 10.08 GHz로 나타나, UHF(ultra high frequency) 통신대역에서 UWB(ultra-wideband) 통신대역에 이르기까지 매우 넓은 주파수 범위에서 자기상보형 안테나의 입력 임피던스 $188{\Omega}$을 $50{\Omega}$의 특성 임피던스에 정합시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We have built the millimeter-wave passive imaging system with a lens and mechanical scan antenna. The lens was designed based on optical theory in order to focus millimeter-wane.

We have developed a passive millimeter wave (PMMW) imaging system with two-dimensional imaging arrays. For the imaging system we achieved single-substrate imaging-array element which include all necessary component such as Fermi tapered slot antenna (TSA), a balun, LNA's and a detector circuit on it. Two-dimensional arrays for real-time imaging at the 35 GHz band are currently under development. We will be able to make an advanced PMMW image system based on our system with the $2\times2$ imaging array in the near future.
