在本文中探討應用於ISM頻段的偶極陣列天線，此天線可以很容易在普通印刷電路基板(PCB)上，可由多個偶極天線組合而成。依據傳輸線匹配理論設計一個開路截線匹配電路來匹配陣列天線輸入阻抗且反射板的特性也被討論在此篇論文中。
當需要一全方位的輻射場形時，偶極天線是非常適用的天線，但偶極天線的增益並不高，在通訊系統中對點對點傳播和有高指向性的輻射束寬是一熱門議題。本文將偶極天線設計成陣列架構，可獲得較高的指向性輻射束寬並實現一操作於ISM頻段之具有反射板的雙面印刷偶極陣列天線。
論文中使用IE3D的模擬軟體來分析並和測量的數據比較。在VSWR小於1.5，頻率2.45GHz所量測到的印刷偶極陣列天線頻寬為570MHz且天線增益為3.5-4.5dBi。具有反射板印刷偶極陣列天線頻寬為350MHz且天線增益為5.3-7.0dBi。由8個偶極天線所組成的陣列天線所量測到的頻寬為200MHz且天線增益為8.5-9.3dBi，加入反射板之後所量測到的頻寬為70MHz且天線增益提升到12-13dBi，模擬和量測數據結果非常接近理論的分析，驗証本研究的設計分析。

In the thesis, in ISM band the printed dipole array antenna is proposed. The printed dipole array antenna consists of one dipole array arranged back to back and can be easily formed by printing on both sides of a dielectric substrate. Based on the matching theory, which includes of a 50Ω microstrip feed line with open stub matched circuits is designed. Properties of the radiator as an array element have also been investigated.
The dipole antenna is a very simple antenna suitable for use when a nearly omnidirectional pattern is required. However, its gain is low. In many communication systems, one is interested in point-to-point communications, and a much more highly directive beam of radiation can be used to advantage. By arranging several dipoles into an array, a higher directive beam of radiation can be obtained. A more directive beam means that the antenna will also have a higher gain. In this thesis, the use of printed and doubled-sided dipole pair wideband antennas with parallel reflector in application of 2.4 GHz ISM band has been demonstrated.
It has been shown that dipole antenna array with high gain and broadband for VSWR 1.5 can be achieved. According to the measured results, The printed dipole array antenna achieves gain for 2.45GHz band to be about 3.5-4.5 dBi with 570MHz bandwidth and the reflector antenna has a gain of 5.3-7.0 dBi with a 310MHz bandwidth, respectively. The 8-element printed dipole array antenna without and with reflector have gain of 8.5-9.3 dBi with a 200MHz bandwidth and gain of 12-13 dBi with a 70MHz bandwidth, respectively. Both simulation and measured results are highly matched and verify our previous analysis.
