Abstract

In this paper, the broadband cross monopole antenna is presented and the radiation characteristics is investigated f3r various width and height of the radiated element. In the presented antenna, the broadband characteristics is realized by the cross monopole element and the impedance matching section between the element and the ground. To conform the broadband characteristics of the presented antenna, the experimental antenna is designed, fabricated, and its radiation characteristics are measured in $1.75\~2.655$ GHz. It is shown that the designed antenna has the nondirectional pattern in the horizontal plane, the directional pattern in the vertical plane, VSSR less than 1.5, and gain in $2.5\~3.78$ dBi. From these results, the presented antenna is conformed as a broadband indoor antenna which can be used for PCS, WCDMA, Wibro, and satellite DMB band.

본 논문에서는 십자형 구조를 갖는 광대역 모노폴 안테나를 제시하고 모노폴 소자의 폭과 높이에 따른 복사 특성을 고찰하였다 제시된 모노폴 안테나는 십자형 구조의 복사 소자와 접지판과 소자 사이에 삽입한 임피던스 정합부에 의해 광대역 특성이 실현되었다. 제시된 안테나의 광대역 특성을 확인하기 위하여 주파수 $1.75\~2.655$ GHz에서 안테나를 설계$\cdot$제작하고 복사 특성을 측정하였다. 제시된 안테나는 수평면내 무지향성, 수직면내 지향성 특성을 가지며, VSWR은 사용 주파수 전대역에서 1.5 이하, 안테나 이득은 $2.5\~3.78$ dBi로 나타났다. 측정 결과로부터 제시된 안테나는 PCS, WCDMA, Wibro, 위성 DMB 밴드의 공용 실내 안테나로 사용될 수 있는 광대역 특성을 갖는 안테나로 확인되었다.
