Abstract

In this paper, we proposed the broadband polarization diversity antenna operating in the PCS, WCDMA and WiBro band for mobile base station. We designed the antenna using the dipole antenna of the square loop type and microstrip feeding structure. Additionally, we used the choke box to remove the distortion of radiation patterns by the reflector structure when operating broadband. The simulation was performed using MWS in a commercial tool of CST company and the antenna was fabricated on a teflon substrate with 3.33 of the relative permittivity. The proposed antenna has the bandwidth of 640 MHz(from 1.75 to 2.39 GHz) when VSWR is below 1.5. At the operating bands, the interisolation between the cross-pair radiators is less than -25 dB and the maximum gains for PCS, WCDMA and WiBro band are 8.9, 8.2 and 8.6 dBi, respectively.

본 논문에서는 PCS, WCDMA, 그리고 WiBro 대역에서 동작하는 이동 통신 기지국용 광대역 편파 다이버시티 안테나를 제안하였다. 본 안테나는 정사각 루프 형태의 다이폴 안테나와 마이크로스트립 급전 구조를 결합하여 설계하였다. 추가적으로 광대역 동작 시 반사판 구조에 의해 발생할 수 있는 방사 패턴 왜곡 현상을 초크(choke) 상자를 이용하여 개선하였다. 설계를 위한 모의 실험은 CST사의 MWS로 해석하였으며, 제작은 비유전율 3.33인 테프론 기판을 이용하여 제작하였다. 측정 결과, 대역폭(VSWR<1.5)은 640 MHz(1.75~2.39 GHz)를 얻었으며, 각 방사체 사이의 격리도는 -25 dB 이하를 얻었다. 그리고 PCS, WCDMA, WiBro 대역에서 최대 이득은 각각 8.9 dBi, 8.2 dBi, 8.6 dBi이다.
