This paper analyzed the circularly polarized conformal microstrip patch antennal using the unsplit anisotropic perfectly matched layer(UAPML) method. Also, this paper are treated effectively the edge and corner parts on the 3 dimensional UAPML. Especially, to analyze microstrip patch antennas with the coaxial feeder line, it was applied to mixed the UAPML with Mur's first order absorbing boundary condition. Therefore this paper suggest the new the method to mix the UAPML with Mur's first order absorbing boundary condition. The results show the time responses of electromagnetics $E_z$ and $H\chi'$, input impedances of coaxial cable and radiation patterns of strip parchs on the single and the array patchs with central frequencies 1.575 GHz, 1.778 GHz and 4.8 GHz in L-band and C-band for mobile communication. The results of this paper shows that its results was compared the Mur's first order abc and mixed the second order dispersion boundary condition(SDBC) with the Mur's first order absorbing boundary condition. In accordance with, the validity of the method is confirmed.

We analyze the radiated emission and mutual coupling problem from a single microstrip transmission line and double signal traces with various ground patterns. In this paper, it is shown that the reduction of the radiated emission from the signal traces can be accomplished by using the novel and compact patterns on the ground planes in a specific frequency band. The accuracy and validation of radiation mechanism from the transmission line on a novel ground plane are evaluated and explained by using a commercially available software and experiment, respectively.

A new high-gain Fabry-$P{\acute{e}}rot$ cavity antenna for wireless broadband internet(Wibro) base station antennas, which is covered with metamaterial superstrate presenting simultaneous negative values of permittivity and permeability, is proposed. To facilitate the fabrication process using the printed circuit board(PCB) technology of today, a new planar-type metamaterial superstrate is designed, which shows negative and low positive values of a refractive index near the Wibro service frequency band. And the principle of antenna gain enhancement is analyzed from the two different view points of effectively low refractive index and of the Fabry-$P{\acute{e}}rot$ resonance condition. Single square patch antenna is used as a feeder. The separation distance is determined by considering the reflection phases of the metamaterial superstrate and the substrate satisfying Fabry-$P{\acute{e}}rot$ resonance condition, respectively. Comparison between the prediction and the measurement shows good agreement, which verifies the validity of our design approach.

In this paper, the design of longitudinal shunt slot array monopulse antenna in the broad wall of waveguide for Ka band millimeter-wave seeker, Dip-Brazing method for fabrication and experiment results are presented. The proposed antenna consists of radiating slots by using Elliot's array synthesis procedure, probe-exciting feed structure for improving the return loss bandwidth and monopulse comparator. Element weigthings in the array have been calculated by continuous Taylor aperture distribution. Also, the simulation tool has been used to characterize the individual isolated slot, which has subsequently been used in Elliot's method to design the slot array efficiently. The designed antenna is fabricated using Dip-Brazing method. The gain of measured antenna is 28.4 dBi. Antenna beamwidth and side lobe levels are similar to the design result we expect.

In this paper, a design of broadband detectors utilizing two ultra-wideband transitions is described for the first time, and the implementation method and measurement results of the detectors are provided. Two ultra-wideband transitions are used for input/output matching circuits for the diode detectors. Two detectors have been implemented using general Schottky diodes and zero-bias Schottky diodes. With general Schottky diodes, the fabricated detector provides less than 10 dB return loss from 11 GHz to 20 GHz, and the detector sensitivity is 30 mV/mW. The detector with zero-bias Schottky diodes shows significantly higher detection sensitivity(300 mV/mW).

In this work, a 54 GHz divide-by-3 injection-locked frequency divider(ILFD) based on ring oscillator has been developed in a 0.13-${\mu}M$ Si RFCMOS technology for phase-locked loop(PLL) application. The free-running frequency is 18.92~19.31 GHz with tuning range of 0~1.8 V, consuming 70 mW with a 1.8 V supply voltage. At 0 dBm input power, the locking range is 1.02 GHz(54.82~55.84 GHz) and, with varactor tuning of 0~1.8 V, the total operating range is 2.4 GHz(54.82~57.17 GHz). The fabricated circuit size is 0.42 mm${\times}$0.6 mm including probing pads and 0.099 mm${\times}$0.056 mm for core area.

The attenuation mechanism of seismic waves in the crust is controlled both by intrinsic absorption and scattering of energy. The amount of scattering and intrinsic energy losses from the total attenuation is separately estimated in this study for the southern Korean Peninsula. The formula to be deduced from the theoretical relationship between single back-scattered coda Q and multiple scattering theory was used to separate the total attenuation into the intrinsic Q and the scattering Q. It was found that the intrinsic Q was considerably lower than that of the scattering Q in the frequency range of 1.5 to 20 Hz. This fact implies that the energy loss caused by the intrinsic absorption is relatively larger than one by the scattering effect within the crust of the southern Korean Peninsula. Both intrinsic and scattering Q values appeared to be comparatively larger than those measured in other seismically active regions except for intrinsic Q in the frequency range of 1.5 to 3 Hz.

This paper proposes a precise drone-positioning technique using a differential global positioning system (DGPS). The proposed system consists of a reference station for error correction data production, and a mobile station (a drone), which is the target for real-time positioning. The precise coordinates of the reference station were acquired by post-processing of received satellite data together with the reference station location data provided by government infrastructure. For the system's implementation, low-cost commercial GPS receivers were used. Furthermore, a Zigbee transmitter/receiver pair was used to wirelessly send control signals and error correction data, making the whole system affordable for personal use. To validate the system, a drone-tracking experiment was conducted. The results show that the average real-time position error is less than 0.8 m.

This paper presents the design of a broadband hybrid mixer using dual-gate FET topology with a low-pass filter which improves return loss of output to isolate RF and LO signal. The low-pass filter shows the isolation with RF and LO signal of better than 40 dBc from 1.5 GHz to 5.5 GHz. The dual-gate mixer which has been designed by using cascade topology operates when the lower FET is biased in linear region and the upper FET is in saturation region. The input matching circuit has been designed to have conversion gain from 1.5 GHz to 5.5 GHz. The designed mixer with low-pass filter shows the conversion gain of better than 7 dB from 1.5 GHz to 5.5 GHz at the low LO power level of 0 dBm with the fixed IF frequency of 21.4 MHz.
