We proposed a novel feed structure for a broadband circular slot antenna. The proposed antenna has a circular slot, a radiating element, and a novel microstrip feed structure which is composed of a 50 Ω microstrip feedline and a circular-shaped microstrip patch. This antenna is analyzed and optimized by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The impedance bandwidth of optimized antenna is 1.94 octave that is much broader than the conventional microstrip slot antennas.

A wideband stacked patch antenna fed by an L-strip feeder is studied experimentally. The objective of this paper is to design small wideband antenna for PCS and IMT-2000 service. Experimental results confirm that an impedance bandwidth(VSWR$\leq$2) of 704.7 MHz(35.95 %) is achieved at PCS and IMT-2000 frequency band. The studied antenna can be designed easily for extension of away because it has simple structure.

본 논문은 급증하는 제주지역의 풍력발전설비의 증가에 따라 제주계통의 안정적 운영을 위하여 제주EMS 기능의 일부인 경제급전프로그램의 개선된 내용을 소개하였다. 풍력발전기의 출력은 수시로 변하고 그 예측이 곤란하여, 소규모 계통인 제주계통의 불안정성을 야기할 우려가 더욱 커지고 있다. 이에, 계통운영자가 제주지역 풍력발전기 변동특성을 고려하여 계통운영을 할 수 있도록 풍력발전량 대비 연계선 및 발전기 예비력을 설정 또는 계산하여, 경제급전 참여 발전기에 대한 발전량을 배분할 수 있도록 개선된 제주EMS의 경제급전프로그램의 개선된 내용을 제시하였다.

Both the power increasing of a television broadcasting channel for the purpose of minimiaing weak signal areas and depressing of radiation pattern to prevent some interference in known quadrants may be needed in TV broadcasting. This study shows that, the two needs mentioned above are solvable by adjusting the phases of feeding points, or redesigning the lengths of feeder lines between transmitter outend and feeder inputs in super gain antenna. A theoretical study on lengths of coaxial cables and a practical procedure of designing cable lengths, which is simple and inexpensive to apply, is presented.

This paper presents a broadband CPS-fed Yagi-Uda antenna. The antenna has a feedline structure much simpler than other Yagi-Uda antennas and it provides more design flexibility in arranging the reflector. To improve the impedance matching, a tapered CPS line is inserted between the thick and thin feedlines. The proposed antenna exhibits the bandwidth of $3.9{\sim}5.9$ GHz (|G| < -10 dB) and the gain of $6.5{\sim}8$ dBi within that bandwidth. At the center frequency of 4.9 GHz, the antenna shows the gain of 7.4 dBi, and HPBW of $98^{\circ}$ along the x-z plane and $73^{\circ}$ along the x-y plane.

In this paper, we propose a method that measures the height and stagger of an catenary using the laser profile images. One line laser and area scanner CCD cameras are used. To quickly and accurately extract, from a photographed image, the area of the overhead line on which the line laser is shone, we consider the established fact that the catenary is the lowest among the electric wires. Here we are solving the the distance to the catenary if we know the distance the camera is from the ground and the angle of the catenary in the field of view. The angle will be related to the number of pixels in the image. This pixels per degree is a constant for the camera. Also, because of the different pixel resolution of the camera according to the overhead line position, we compensate the measurement result through camera calibration.

A method of miniaturizing branch line coupler with connected coupled lines is presented. The quarter-wavelength transmission lines in the typical microstrip branch line coupler are replaced with the connected coupled lines with same characteristics of ones for compact size. The connected coupled line is analyzed by T-equivalent circuit and Z parameters based on the even-odd mode analysis. The proposed branch line couplers with connected coupled line are designed and fabricated on FR4 substrate at 2.4 GHz. The measured results show good agreement with theoretical prediction. And the experimental results show that the size of coupler is 37 precent smaller than conventional coupler. This minimized coupler is suitable for Butler Matrix as feeder for mobile communication beam forming antenna.

A series-fed microstrip array antenna of beamwidth $10^{\circ}$, squint angle $80^{\circ}$ and SLL -15 dB below is designed. Series-fed arrays are formed by interconnecting all the elements by high-impedance transmission lines and feeding the power at the first element and it is a traveling-wave antenna which is terminated with a matched load. Radiation patterns and impedance matching of the antenna are analyzed by Ensemble 4.0, which is a popular software package for designing printed antennas and arrays. The squint angle of beam can be controlled by the spacing between the elements. The major advantages of series-fed array antennas are that feed arangement is compact and the losses associated with the feeding network are less than those of a corporate feed type. The antennas are fabricated on the RT/Duroid Laminates of 62 mil thickness. The experimental results are very close to the specifications to be designed.

In this thesis, two possible schemes for power feeding are considered. The first one is the network power feeding, and the other is the power feeding from the rechargeable battery. Though each scheme has its merits and demerits, the domestic network operator has proposed the latter due to the large deviation of line resistance, high power loss, and safety. This scheme, however, has several problems. The usage is limited by the life of battery leading to the failure of minimal voice service for many hours. The space occupation of that battery is another serious problem. Moreover, the network opeator should have overhead of maintenance and repair. In order to alleviate such the difficulties, the sealing current is introduced through the subscriber loop. Flowing the current into the loop prevents from rusting. This thesis designs a power controller using PEB2025 to control various amount, duration, and period of this sealing current, to achieve the optimum current supply for sealing.
