Abstract

In this paper, we propose a open-ended rectangular microstirp patch antenna with fork-shaped feeding structure. This antenna extends the effective bandwidth by transforming single or multi resonant frequency and is designed planar monopole structure with microstrip line to satisfy the WLAN bands (2.4 - 2.484, 5.15 - 5.35, 5.25-5.825 GHz). The substrate is printed in 0.8 mm thickness on an FR-4 board. A commercial 3D simulation tool was used to analyze surface current and electromagnetic field distribution in order to analyze the operation mode and reconfiguration principle of antenna. According to the lengths of individual patches, simulated reflection loss was compared to obtain optimized values. When it was designed with the optimized values, it satisfied WLAN bands (2.380 - 2.710, 4.900 - 5.950 GHz), if the switch is off, and 2.4 WLAN band (2.380 - 2.710 GHz). From the fabricated and measured results, measured results of return loss, gain and radiation patterns characteristics displayed for operating bands.

본 논문에서는 WLAN 대역에서 동작하는 오픈된 사각 모양의 마이크로스트립패치 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 단일 공진 또는 다중 공진 주파수를 가변하여 유효 대역폭을 가지고 있으며 WLAN대역(2.4 - 2.484, 5.15 - 5.35, 5.25-5.825 GHz)을 만족하는 마이크로 스트립 선로를 갖는 평면형 모노폴 구조로 설계된다. 안테나는 FR-4 기판에 제작되었고 두께는 0.8 mm이다. 안테나의 동작모드와 재구성 특성을 분석하기 위해 전류분포와 전자계 분포를 분석하기 위해 상용 툴을 사용하였다. 최적화된 수치를 얻기 위해 각 패치의 길이에 따른 시뮬레이션 반사손실을 비교하였다. 최적화된 수치를 사용하여 스위치가 off 되었을 때 WLAN 밴드 (2.380 - 2.710 GHz)을 얻었으며, 스위치가 on 되었을 때 2.4 GHz 밴드 (2.380 - 2.710 GHz)을 얻었다. 제작 및 측정결과로부터 제안된 안테나의 반사손실 특성, 측정된 이득과 방사패턴 특성 결과를 얻었다.
