Abstract

This paper was studied the tri-band folded monopole antenna design with Mu-negative metamaterial unit cell, which operates at 700 MHz UHD broadcast band and 2.45 GHz/5 GHz WiFi band. The MNR metamaterial is fabricated by forming a capacitor on the backside of the antenna substrate and connecting it to the ground plane through a strip line and a via hole so that a single cell can operate in the MZR (Mu zero resonator). Through this, the resonance point can be controlled to resonate in the zero mode in 700 MHz band, and the bandwidth is improved. Experimental results show that the 10dB bandwidth and gain are 309 MHz (41.2%) and 5.298 dB at the first resonance point, and the 10dB bandwidth and gain at the second resonance point are 821.9 MHz (33.5%) and 2.7840 dB respectively. At the third resonance point, the gain and bandwidth were 1.1314 GHz (20.6%) and 2.9484 dB respectively. We confirmed that the resonance point with theoretical value is in agreement with experimental value. And the radiation pattern is generally omnidirectional, and it has been confirmed that the radiation pattern is good in both forward and backward directions at 0.75 GHz and 2.45 GHz, and has a radiation pattern with multiple lobes at 5.5 GHz.

본 논문에서는 MNR(Mu-negative) Metamaterial 단일 셀을 사용하여 700 MHz UHD 방송 대역과 2.45 GHz/5 GHz WiFi 대역에서 동작하는 삼중대역 폴디드 모노폴 안테나 설계에 관하여 연구하였다. MNG metamaterial 단일셀이 MZR(Mu zero resonator)에서 동작하도록 안테나 기판 뒷면에 커패시터를 형성하고, 스트립선로와 비아홀을 통해서 접지면과 연결하여 구현하였다. 이를 통해서 700 MHz대역에서 영차모드에서 공진하도록 공진점을 제어할 수 있고, 대역폭을 개선할 수 있다. 최종적으로 700 MHz UHD방송 대역과 2.45 GHz/5 GHz WiFi 대역에서 동작하는 안테나를 구현하였다. 설계 제작한 안테나의 크기는 $100{\times}100mm^2$이고, 실험 결과 첫 번째 공진점에서 10 dB 대역폭과 이득은 각각 309 MHz(41.2%), 5.298 dB이며, 두 번째 공진점에서 10 dB 대역폭과 이득은 각각 821.9 MHz(33.5%), 2.7840 dB이며, 세번째 공진점에서 10 dB 대역폭과 이득은 각각 1.1314 GHz(20.6%), 2.9484 dB의 결과를 확인하였다. 안테나의 공진주파수는 이론과 실험이 일치함을 확인하였다. 그리고 방사패턴은 대체적으로 전방향 특성을 가지고 있으며, 0.75 GHz와 2.45 GHz에서는 측면보다 전방향과 후방향으로 방사특성이 양호하며, 5.5 GHz에서는 다중로브를 갖는 방사패턴 특성을 확인하였다.
