In this paper, we report results of parametric study on the radiation efficiency of woven textile antennas using full-wave simulations and measurements. The parameters of interest are the conductive thread diameter and intervals between the threads consisting of a rectangular woven patch. In a full-wave simulation tool, rectangular patch antennas are modeled by weaving conductive threads with different thread diameters and intervals. The results show that the radiation efficiency increases with a wider interval between the threads when a thicker conductive thread is used. This contrasts with the common assumptions that radiation efficiency increases as more conductive material is used. These results are also validated by experiments on woven patch antennas fabricated with silver-coated threads.

A magnetic tripolarization antenna is proposed for DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) applications. A conventional patch antenna, which is usually used to generate the horizontal polarization, is modified to generate the perpendicular polarizations by including the ring slots. The opposite currents flowing the upper and under conductors generate loop current. For the horizontal polarization ZOR (Zeroth Order Resonance) loop antenna is included in the proposed structure. The uniform current of the ZOR loop antenna effectively generates the horizontal polarization. The simulated result shows that the proposed antenna has -10 dB impedance bandwidths from 5.85 to 5.94 GHz, which is appropriate for DSRC applications. The isolation between ports is higher than 25 dB over DSRC bandwidth. The proposed antenna has a size of 32 × 32 × 1.57 mm3.

In order to realize the wireless broadband communication, a small antenna which has the ultra-wideband characteristics is required. The well-known planar monopole antenna features wideband characteristics, small size and simple structure. Thereby, planar monopole antennas of various shapes have been proposed. The paper proposes the T-shaped planar monopole antenna with a basis of rectangular planar monopole antenna. In addition, the structure of T-ledge which has the most broadband characteristics and the limitation of the broadband characteristics are clarified.

Wireless power transmission system has become one of the most-growing, high-impact technologies, due to power supply without batteries or wired power transfer. In recent years, this system is suggested combining with capsular endoscopes being used to diagnose digestive organs. In this paper, we proposed a receiving antenna which is assumed to be stowed in the capsular endoscope to transceive wireless signal for medical applications. This antenna is designed to operate in 430 MHz band. The results show that the capsular endoscope can be received required power for operation.

This paper proposes a reflectarray antenna element operating in X-band composed of a tripole and double rings. The size of the element is half-wavelength and phase curve is achieved by variation of radius of inner ring from 8 GHz to 12 GHz. This element has 544 degrees of phase range at center frequency. By applying this element to electromagnetic gradient surface using 120 degrees phase difference, the result shows broadband radar cross section reduction in X-band.

The paper introduces new wideband Antenna-Filter-Antenna (AFA) uniform arrays that can be utilized as frequency selective surfaces (FSS) with low loss and sharp roll-off response, which are highly desirable characteristics in Q-Band. The design adopts a simple 3-layer single polarization structure consisting of two patch antennas and a resonator. Both simulations and measurements are used to characterize the performances of the proposed design. Overall results show 18.5 % 10-dB bandwidth. For the targeted band the insertion loss is less than 0.2 dB. Possible applications include quasi-optical amps, grid mixers and radomes for aircraft radar antennas.

This paper presents a design for four band patch antenna by CPW feeding for the in-building mobile communication. Especially, a parasitic element is considered for beam direction control. In order to satisfy for the mobile communication service such as LTE (890 MHz band), PCS (1.8 GHz band), W-CDMA (2.0 GHz band) and Wi-Fi (2.43 GHz band), a CPW feeding structure and a circular patch with slit for broad bandwidth are designed. The simulated results were shown a good agreement with the measured ones of a proposed antenna.

A spiral-slot Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is applied to a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system in 12MHz band. To reduce the physical size of FSS, single spiral-slot configuration is designed. As a result of the simulation of the designed WPT system with FSS, transmission efficiency higher than 80% is obtained, while interference can be stopped in other frequency band.
