Abstract

This paper presents the design of a novel integrated mobile antenna for vehicles. The proposed antenna fabricated on a low cost easily available FR4 substrate, which effectively covers both dual band operation. The proposed mobile antenna is a modified G-type patch antenna that can operate in various frequency bands, GSM (880~960 MHz), AMPS (824~894MHz), DCS (1710~1880MHz), PCS (1850~1990MHz), UMTS (1920~2170). Experimental results indicate that the impedance bandwidth (VSWR 1:2.5) of the proposed mobile antenna agree that of the simulation results. It was validated that the configuration can meet the demands of Mobile frequency bands and effectively enhanced the impedance bandwidth to 36.46% for the lower band and 27.84% for the upper band. This paper also presents and discusses the 3D radiation patterns and gains according to the results of the experiment.

본 논문은 차량용 휴대폰 단말기 대역의 안테나를 설계하였다. 제안된 안테나는 효과적으로 이중대역 동작을 할 수 있도록 저가격으로 쉽게 제작할 수 있는 FR 4 기판 위에 설계되었다. 제안된 모바일 안테나는 여러가지 휴대 단말기 주파수 대역인 GSM(880~960 MHz), AMPS(824~894 MHz), DCS(1710~1880 MHz), PCS(1850~1990 MHz), UMTS(1920~2170 MHz) 등에서 동작될 수 있도록 변형된 G 형태의 패치 안테나를 가진다. 제작 측정결과, VSWR 1:2.5에서 제안된 모바일 안테나의 임피던스 대역폭은 시뮬레이션 결과와 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 낮은 주파수 대역에서는 36.46% 대역폭을 가지며 높은 주파수 대역에서는 27.84%의 임피던스 대역폭을 얻었다. 이 논문에서는 또한 실험결과에 대한 3D 방사패턴과 이득 값들을 제시하고 설명하였다.
