Abstract

In this paper, novel internal antenna with its controllable resonant frequency is presented for triple-band or over mobile handsets. The operating range can include GSM(880${\~}$960 MHz), GPS(1,575$\pm$10 MHz), DCS(1,710${\~}$1,880 MHz), US-PCS(1,850${\~}$l,990 MHz), and W-CDMA(1,920${\~}$2,170 MHz). The proposed antenna is realized by combination of a half wavelength loaded line and a shorted monopole. A single shorting and feeding points are used and they are common to both antenna structures. By controlling a value of lumped inductance element between shorting point and ground plane, the antenna provides enough bandwidth to cover DCS, US-PCS, and W-CDMA respectively. When these higher bands are controlled by the values of inductance, resonant characteristics in GSM and GPS bands are maintained. In this work, maximum value of the inductor is limited within 3.3 nH to mitigate gain degradation from frequency tuning. As a result, measured maximum gain of antenna is -0.58${\~}$-0.30 dBi in the GSM band, -0.57${\~}$0.43 dBi in the GPS band and 0.38${\~}$1.15 dBi in the DCS/US-PCS/W-CDMA band. In higher band, the proposed antenna is certified that resonant frequency of about 240 MHz can be effectively controlled within gain variation of about 0.77 dB by simulation and measurement.

본 논문에서는 3중 대역 이상의 이동 통신 단말기를 위해 주파수 튜닝이 가능한 새로운 형태의 내장형 안테나를 제안하였다. 설계된 안테나의 동작 주파수 대역은 GSM(880${\~}$960 MHz)/GPS(1,575 $\pm$ 10 MHz)/DCS(1,710${\~}$1,880 MHz)/US-PCS(1,850${\~}$l,990 MHz)/W-CDMA(1,920${\~}$2,170 M/Hz) 대역을 포함한다. 제안된 안테나는 반파장 로디드 라인 구조와 모노폴 구조를 결합한 형태를 띄고 있으며 하나의 단락점과 급전점을 공유한다. 그리고 단락점과 접지면 사이의 집중형 인덕턴스 소자의 값을 조절함으로써 GSM과 GPS대역을 그대로 유지하면서 각각 DCS, US-PCS, W-CDMA대역을 만족시킬 수 있다. 사용된 인덕터 소자의 값은 주파수 튜닝에 따른 이득 저하를 최소화하기 위하여 최대 3.3 nH로 한정하였으며 이에 따른 안테나의 최대 이득은 GSM대역에서 -0.58${\~}$-0.30 dBi, GPS 대역에서 -0.57${\~}$0.43 dBi, DCS/US-PCS/W-CDMA 대역에서 0.38${\~}$l.15 dBi로 측정되었다. 시뮬레이션과 측정을 통해 제안된 안테나가 높은 주파수 대역에서 약 0.77 dB의 이득 변화 폭 내에서 약 240 MHz의 공진 주파수를 효과적으로 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
