This paper proposes an approximate equation for broad bandwidth conditions in an antenna feeding probe design with a cylindrical magneto material structure (CMMS). The bandwidth calculation has been conducted according to the relation between the distance (rm) between the magneto material and feeding probe, and the magneto material thickness (tm) for a given μr. The bandwidth of a proposed antenna with CMM feeding structure is improved about 182 %, when μr=20+j0.001, in comparison with the bandwidth of an antenna without CMMS. The maximum error extent between the bandwidth calculated by the approximation equation and by the numerical calculation of the proposed antenna is about ±3.2 % for μr=10+j0.001. The approximation equation proposed in this study can solve the conventional problem of the complex process and the long time required for reiterative calculation, and allow simple and precise design with prediction.
Ⅰ. IntroductionWith the recent development of a variety of wireless communication services, the need to include various wireless services in single wireless handheld devices is increasingly stressed [1]. Many antennas with different frequencies and bandwidths are included in a handy terminal to simultaneously provide a variety of wireless communication services. However, this method causes the antenna to take up too much space in the device, and there is the added disadvantage that input impedance matching between the antennas and the RF circuits needs. In order to overcome this disadvantage, a single antenna that can simultaneously catch the frequencies of different bandwidths including multi-band antenna, reconfigurable antenna and broad bandwidth antenna, are currently used. Generally, a multi-band antenna uses a narrow bandwidth element and design is difficult because of sensitive impedance bandwidth and a complex structure [1]. However, when a broad bandwidth antenna is used, there are advantages such as good impedance matching, stable radiation pattern and high efficiency [2]. Antenna types with such broad bandwidth characteristics include the planer monopole antenna, slot antenna, planer oval antenna, PIFA and MDM (Magneto-Dielectric Material). There are many design methods, also. These methods include controlling antenna impedance to match the operating band by changing the antenna structure [3~5], controlling bandwidth with multi-resonance by changing the addition shorting stub or via hole [6,7], and using dielectric material and magneto material to control the guide wavelength within the dielectric material to ultimately control operation frequency and bandwidth.In order to reduce the calculation time and to verify accuracy for the model antenna of the reference [8], the approximation equation for the CMM (Cylindrical Magneto Material) feeding structure of the reference [8] has been conducted. The method to control guide wavelength was also considered and applied in this research. The proposed approximation equation is one that can predict conditions of the broad bandwidth according...
