Abstract

In this paper, miniaturized ${\lambda}/4$ folded microstrip antennas is presented for parking monitoring base station system. The proposed antenna reduced a width of the radiating element for miniaturizing a size and we changed an aperture such as folded shape for reducing a length of the antenna by the pertubation effect by reducing a width of the antenna. Finally, the ${\lambda}/2$ length of the folded microstrip antenna to ${\lambda}/4$ folded microstrip antenna was miniaturized by reducing the length. The proposed antenna was designed to receive 425 MHz of center frequency that can be used without permission. Dimensions are $134mm{\times}143.85mm{\times}20.1mm$($0.19{\lambda}{\times}0.2{\lambda}{\times}0.028{\lambda}$, ${\lambda}$ is wavelength at 425 MHz) that are compared with basic microstrip patch antenna miniaturized 97.2%. Also, Measured -10 dB bandwidth was 2.44 MHz(0.57%). On the other hand, measured radiation patterns was 1.82 dBi at E-plane $15^{\circ}$.

본 논문에서는 주차장관리 시스템 기지국용 소형 ${\lambda}/4$ 폴디드 마이크로스트립 안테나를 제안, 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 안테나를 소형화하기 위해 먼저 기준 ${\lambda}/2$ 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나에서 방사소자 폭을 줄이고, 다음은 방사소자 길이를 줄여주기 위하여 섭동효과(Perturbation effect)를 이용하여 개구면에 폴디드 구조를 적용하였다. 끝으로 ${\lambda}/2$ 길이의 폴디드 마이크로스트립 안테나를 ${\lambda}/4$ 폴디드 마이크로스트립 안테나로 더욱 소형화시켰다. 설계된 안테나는 중심주파수 425 MHz에서 크기는 $134mm{\times}143.85mm{\times}20.1mm$($0.19{\lambda}{\times}0.2{\lambda}{\times}0.028{\lambda}$, ${\lambda}$는 425 MHz의 한 파장 길이)로 기본 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나와 비교하여 97.2% 소형화 되었다. 또한 -10 dB 대역폭은 2.44 MHz(0.57%)로 측정되었으며 방사패턴은 E-plane $15^{\circ}$에서 최대 1.82 dBi의 이득을 얻었다.
