Abstract

In this paper, we propose the CSLR(: Complementary Single Loop Resonators)-loaded inset fed patch antenna with a conducting reflector to improve the radiation patterns. Reflector of the proposed antenna is located below about ${\lambda}_0/4$ from the ground plane of the patch, the size is about two times of the patch. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on the substrate which has a dielectric constant and thickness with 2.5 and 0.787 mm, respectively. Simulation results are obtained by using the HFSS, 3D EM Solver based Finite Element Method(: FEM). The resonant frequency and matching characteristics of the antenna with reflector are substantially the same as when there is no change in the antenna without reflector, it is confirmed that radiation patterns are significantly improved by the reflector.

본 논문에서는 인셋 급전한 패치의 접지면에 Complementary Single Loop Resonators(: CSLRs)을 배열한 안테나의 복사패턴을 개선하기 위하여 도체 반사판 사용을 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나의 반사판은 패치의 접지면으로부터 약 ${\lambda}_0/4$ 아래에 위치하고, 크기는 패치의 약 2배 정도이다. 유전율 2.5, 두께 0.787 mm인 마이크로스트립 기판을 사용하여 안테나를 설계, 제작하여 실험하였고, Finite Element Method(: FEM) 기반의 3D EM Solver인 HFSS를 사용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 실험결과, 반사판이 있는 경우의 안테나 공진주파수와 정합특성은 반사판이 없을 때와 거의 동일하게 변화가 없었으나, 복사패턴은 반사판에 의해 상당히 개선되었음을 확인하였다.
