We used several technical methods to perform the impedance characteristics, control the operating frequency of resonances, enhance the impedance bandwidth at the resonances and miniaturize the size of the microstrip-fed slot antenna at the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (the industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) bands and the Hiperlan2) bands. The slot antenna was fabricated by changing the radiation element from the rectangular slot to the Z-like slot, adding four symmetrical tuning stubs at the slot edges, and splitting the slot into a double slot. The obtained impedance bandwidths for two operating bands can reach about 16.07 % for the 2.4 GHz band and 20.59 % for the 5 GHz band. The simulated and the measured radiation patterns of the double Z-like slot antenna were shown.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121140738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem we propose the Multilevel Field Interpolation Algorithm (MLFIA) based on a source domain decomposition that permits a fast matrix-vector multiplication within the iterative solution that reduces the computational complexity and the memory requirements to O(NlogN). The execution of the algorithm is composed of five steps that follow the computation of the field evaluated at a set of evaluation points within the observation domain, the extraction of the Green's function, the interpolation of the fields, the restoration of the Green's function and finally the aggregation of the fields. The algorithm is applied to the fast solution of 2D problems. The generalization to 3D problems is straightforward.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127463945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A portable satellite communication service is required with the need and miniaturization of a mobile terminal is more important. The previous antenna for a satellite communication terminal, such as the Quadrifilar Helix antenna, is used but it is not suitable for portable by its huge volume To solve this problem, in this paper, miniaturizing a microstrip patch antenna with 3-dimensional structure is explained that it has a small volume, a low position, light weight, and mass production. Generally, since the size of a microstrip patch antenna is in proportion with the wavelength of a center frequency, a high permittivity dielectric is utilized for miniaturization of an antenna. However, this method causes drops of a radiating efficiency and bandwidth by the high permittivity. Therefore, folded structure and a method of using a plate attached in the bottom of an antenna are mixed rather than using a high dielectric. It is that a plate is attached on the edge of a folded antenna's patch. Also, to minimize an antenna, a method of folded structure is applied to resonance length L and width W in a general patch antenna.","PeriodicalId":117975,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127486282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
