Abstract

최근 전자파를 이용하여 두뇌를 영상화하는 시스템이 제안되고 있다. 이러한 시스템은 초광대역 특성(0.5~2 GHz)과 주빔의 방향이 모든 동작 주파수 대역에서 일정하게 유지되는 소형 안테나를 요구한다. 위의 요구 조건을 만족하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 비대칭형 corrugation들을 일반 TSA에 적용하여 안테나의 크기는 14 % 감소시키고, 요구되는 동작 주파수 대역인 0.5 GHz에서 2 GHz까지 반사 손실이 10 dB 이하의 값을 가지도록 설계하였다. 특히 대칭형 corrugation들을 적용한 TSA가 가지는 주빔의 방향이 주파수에 따라 변하는 점을 개선하였고, 이러한 비대칭형 corrugated TSA는 전자파를 이용한 두뇌 영상장치의 구현을 위해서 요구되는 조건을 모두 만족한다. Recently, a brain imaging system with microwave devices has been proposed. The brain imaging system requires a small antenna which has ultra wide band(UWB) operating frequency bandwidth(0.5~2 GHz) and non-varying boresight of antenna over the frequency band. This paper proposes asymmetric corrugations on a tapered slot antenna (TSA) so that the size of the TSA is reduced by 14 % while 10 dB return loss bandwidth is satisfied over the operating frequency band from 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz. A miniaturized TSA with symmetric corrugations shows tilted boresight whilst frequency is getting lower; however, the proposed TSA with asymmetric corrugations maintains direction of boresight for different frequencies. This enhancements make an asymmetric corrugated TSA meet the requirement of the brain imaing system.
