Abstract
본 논문에서는 1.7-2.7 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 이동통신 기지국용 광대역 직렬 급전 보우타이 다이폴 쌍(series-fed bow-tie dipole pair; SBDP) 안테나를 제안하였다. 기존의 직렬 급전 다이폴 쌍(series-fed dipole pair; SDP) 안테나에서 사용하는 직선 스트립 다이폴 소자 대신에, 제안된 안테나는 보우타이 모양의 다이폴 소자를 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과, 양 끝으로 벌어진 각도가 증가할수록 안테나의 가장 낮은 동작 주파수가 저주파수 대역으로 이동하였으며, 이를 이용하여 저주파수 대역으로 이동한 만큼 다이폴 소자의 길이를 줄일 수 있다. 양 끝으로 벌어진 각도가 10도인 SBDP 안테나를 FR4 기판(비유전율 4.4, 두께 1.6 mm) 상에 제작하였고, SDP 안테나와 비교하여 폭이 10% 줄어들었다. 제작된 SBDP 안테나를 측정한 결과, 전압 정재파비(voltage standing wave ratio; VSWR)가 2 이하인 임피던스 대역폭은 48.8% (1.69-2.78 GHz), 이득은 5.8-6.3 dBi, 전후방비는 14-17 dB이다. In this paper, a broadband series-fed bow-tie dipole pair (SBDP) antenna operating in the band of 1.7-2.7 GHz for mobile communication base station applications is proposed. The proposed antenna uses bow-tie-shaped dipole elements instead of straight strip dipole ones used in a conventional series-fed dipole pair (SDP) antenna. The simulation results show that the lowest operating frequency is shifted toward lower frequency as the flare angle increases, and so the lengths of the bow-tie dipole elements can be reduced in proportion to the frequency shift toward lower frequency. An SBDP antenna with a flare angle of 10 degrees is fabricated on an FR4 substrate (dielectric constant = 4.4 and thickness = 1.6 mm) and total width of the fabricated antenna is reduced by 10% compared to that of the conventional SDP antenna. The measured impedance bandwidth for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) < 2 is 48.8% (1.69-2.78 GHz), gain is 5.8-6.3 dBi, and the front-to-back ratio (FBR) is 14-17 dB.
