This paper proposes and experimentally tests a modified circular slot antenna fed by a fork-like tuning stub for ultra-wideband (UWB) operation. The proposed antenna consists of a modified circular slot model and fork-like tuning stub. The proposed antenna is printed on a 34.0 mm × 30.0 mm FR4 substrate with thickness of 1.0 mm and relative permittivity of 4.4. The effect of various parameters of the circular slot and fork-like tuning stub is investigated for UWB operation. The modified circular slot and fork-like tuning stub are fabricated on the substrate to achieve wideband operation and good impedance matching. Experimental results demonstrated that the measured return loss exhibits an acceptable agreement with the simulated return loss and satisfies the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the UWB bands. In addition, the proposed antenna shows good radiation characteristics and gains in the UWB bands.

본 논문에서는 시간영역 유한차분법(FDTD)을 이용하여 동조 스터브가 삽입된 전자기결합 광대역 마이크로스트립 안테나의 특성을 해석하고 최대 대역폭올 갖는 안테나를 설계하였다. 전자기 결합 마 이크로스트립 안테나의 급전선로에 짧은 방사형 동조 스터브를 병 렬로 연결하면 광대 역 특성을 가지며, 방사형 동조 스터브의 반지름, 각도, 위치 동의 변화에 따라 안테나의 특성이 변한다. 시간영역에 서의 유한차분법에 의한 수치 해석 결과를 Fourier 변환하여, 주파수 영역에서 안테나 특성을 계산하 였다. 방사형 동조 스터브를 갖는 마이크로스트립 안테나의 최대 대역폭은 약 15%로서 장방형 동조 스터브 형태와 동일한 광대역 특성을 가지면서 동작 주파수 대역 내에서 전압 정재파의 리플이 양호 한 특성을 보여준다.

In this study, we develop and experimentally evaluate an ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna with a polygon tuning stub. The proposed antenna consists of a polygon slot with a $50-{\Omega}$ feed line. The effects of various parameters of the polygon-shaped slot and the polygon tuning stub on UWB applications are investigated. The optimum parameters were obtained using the Ansys HFSS software. The results of the studies on the surface current distributions of the operating frequency bands were discussed. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an inexpensive FR-4 substrate with the overall dimensions of $28.0mm{\times}30.0mm$. The measured results confirm that the proposed antenna covers frequencies from 2.58 GHz to 13.27 GHz, which is the UWB frequency range. Further, the proposed UWB antenna also exhibited that omni-directionality in the H-plane gain varied from 1.185 to 7.246 dBi. The good antenna characteristics of the proposed antenna make it suitable for UWB system applications.

The high power RF transmission line components are required for transmitting MW level RF power continuously in RF heating and current drive system which heat the plasma and produce plasma current in fusion reactor The liquid stub and phase shifter is proposed as the superior to the conventional stub and phase shifter. Experimental results show that they are reliable and easy to operate compared to the conventional stub and phase shifter. There is no distortion of reflected power during the raising of the liquid level. RF breakdown voltage is over 40kV. Temperature increment of the liquid is expected not to be severe. These results verify that the liquid stub and phase shifter can be used reliably in the high power continuous RF facilities.

병렬 스터브를 이용하여 개구면 결합 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나 (ACMPA)의 임피던스 대역폭을 넓히는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. H-모양의 개구면을 가지는 일반적인 ACMPA를 설계하고 등가회로의 전기적 파라미터를 추출하였다. 급전선로에 병렬 스터브를 삽입하여 ACMPA의 임피던스 대역폭을 확장시키는 방법을 제시하였다. 병렬 스터브를 삽입한 ACMPA의 -10dB 임피던스 대역폭은 최대 약 14 %로 일반적인 ACMPA의 최대 임피던스 대역폭 5.4 %와 비교하여 대역폭이 약 160 % 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper we studied about the effects of tuning stuvs on attenuation and phase shift for micro strip feedlines Result of the analysis are good agreement with those of experiments. We found that a better way to increase the phase shift and to dectrease the attenuation may be to use multiple stubs of distances.

In this paper, coplanar waveguide fed antennas (CPWFAs) insetting two slits to boundary of the square microstrip patch are presented. These slits play roles in not only lowering a resonant frequency but also fine-tuning for the proposed antenna together with open stub of CPW feed line. The CPWFAs were designed and manufactured using microwave dielectrics (Al,Mg)TaO$_2$ having high dielectric-constant ($\varepsilon$r=20). The return loss and input impedance of the CPWFAs were investigated in terms of the slit length and open stub length of CPW feed line. It is shown that a resonant frequency decreases as the slit length increases.

A new approach, using MEMS, for improving the performance of high efficiency amplifiers is proposed in this paper. The MEMS tuning element is described as a variable-length shorted CPW stub. Class-E amplifiers can be optimally tuned by these MEMS tuning elements because their operation varies with the impedance of the output tuning circuit. A MEMS tuning element was simulated using full-wave EM simulators to obtain its S-parameters. A Class-E amplifier with the MEMS was designed at 8GHz. The non-linear operation of this amplifier was simulated to explore the effect of the MEMS tuning. Comparing the initially designed amplifier without MEMS, the Power Added Efficiency (PAE) of the amplifier with MEMS is improved from 46.3% to 66.9%. For the amplifier with MEMS, the nonlinear simulation results are PAE = 66.90%, $\eta$(drain efficiency) = 75.89%, and $P_{out}$ = 23.37 dBm at 8 GHz. In this paper, the concept of the MEMS tuning element is successfully applied to the Class E amplifier designed with transmission lines.

This paper presents a novel multiband microstrip-fed right angle slot antenna design technique for multiple independent frequency bands. The new technique uses various slot sizes at various appropriate positions. We first propose a tri-band slot antenna consisting of three right angle slots. Then, a quad-band slot antenna is developed with four right angle slots which achieves slant ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ linear polarization, omnidirectional pattern coverage, good antenna gain, and acceptable impedance bandwidths over all the operating frequency range. Moreover, an open-circuited tuning stub is introduced to achieve good impedance matching. Both proposed antennas are designed on a ground plane of RT/duroid 5880 substrate with a thickness of 1.575 mm. The real measurable results show that the desired frequencies used in wireless communication systems, namely, WLAN and WiMax, are efficiently achieved.

We propose a slot antenna consisting of a rectangular slot on the ground plane, fed by a microstrip line with a rectangular-ring-shaped tuning stub that can be deployed in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems to avoid interference with wireless local area network (WLAN) communication. Our antenna can achieve a single band-notched property from the 5 GHz frequency to the 6 GHz frequency owing to a controllable band notch that uses L- and J-shaped parasitic elements. The antenna characteristics can be modified to tune the band-notched property (4 GHz to 5 GHz or 6 GHz to 7 GHz) and the bandwidth of the band notch (1 GHz to 2 GHz). Furthermore, the shifted notch with enhanced width of the band notch from 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz is described in this paper. The UWB slot antenna and L- and J-shaped parasitic elements also provide the band-rejection function for reference in the WiMAX (3.5 GHz) and WLAN (5 GHz to 6 GHz) regions of the spectrum. Experiment results evidence the return loss performance, radiation patterns, and antenna gains at different operational frequencies.
