구형도파관의 넓은 면에 축방향 슬롯을 파고 또 각각의 슬롯을 축방향으로 배열하였 때의 원거리 방사패턴을 구하는 과정을 보였으며 측정된 결과와 계산결과를 비교하였다. 방사전자계는 슬롯의 표면에 유기되는 등가의 자기전류로부터 계산할 수 있으며 임의의 개수를 가지는 배열안테나의 경우에는 각각의 슬롯이 자기 어드미턴스와 상호결합에 의한 영향을 받기 때문에 원하는 방사패턴을 얻기 위해서는 상호 어드미턴스를 고려하여 슬롯의 길이와 오프셋을 고려하여야 한다. 슬롯에서의 전계분포 해석은 모멘트법(method of moment)을 사용하여 해석하였다. 본 연구에서는 직선편파특성을 가지는 슬롯 배열 안테나의 설계를 위하여 슬롯의 자기 및 상호 어드미턴스를 구하고, 반복적인 수치해석 과정을 통하여 입력임피던스의 최적화 방법에 대하여 논하였다.

In this paper, a waveguide antenna is designed and fabricated for side and rear radar sensor of vehicles in UWB (Ultra Wide Band) high band (center frequency : 9.5 GHz, -10 dB bandwidth : 600 MHz (6.4 %)). For the radar antenna, a probe fed rectangular waveguide antenna having simple structure and wide bandwidth is used. An important performance factor in this antenna is the isolation between transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX) waveguide antennas because this radar system uses TX and RX antennas separately. Thus the isolation between two antennas was simulated for E-plane and H-plane array. As a result, it was verified that the isolation of the H-plane array of the antennas is better than E-plane array, due to the TE10 mode. Therefore, H-plane arrayed waveguide antennas were mounted on a T-shaped radar module and performance of antennas was investigated. The -10 dB bandwidth of the TX and RX antenna mounted on T-shaped radar module was measured as 1000 MHz (10.52 %) and 1090 MHz (11.47 %) respectively and the isolation is less than -50 dB in the operation band. The peak gain is 7.65 dBi for the TX antenna and 7.26 dBi for the RX antenna and the beamwidth of H-plane of TX and RX antenna was measured as $64^{\circ}$ and $65^{\circ}$ respectively. Consequently, we verified that the proposed waveguide antenna is appropriate for a vehicle radar applications.

This paper describes the characteristics of beam-tilting slot away waveguide antennas for mobile DBS reception. As a basic study of slotted waveguide array, design for 16 slot elements located on a broad-wall waveguide is considered. Design parameters such as slot length, space between each slot and cross slot angle of antennas with the beam-tilting characteristics are calculated by method of moments. Based on these results, the radiation waveguide antennas with 16-element $\times$16-array are designed and fabricated. The measured main beam direction angles of the fabricated antennas are 48$^{\circ}$to 50$^{\circ}$depending on the measured frequencies and it shows good agreement with prediction. The measured 3 dB beam width of elevation pattern is about 13$^{\circ}$, and the axial ratio and the gain measured at DBS band are observed 2.8 dB below and 24 dBi above, respectively. In order to evaluate a performance of the fabricated waveguide planar antenna, it is combined with the satellite tracking control system and the field performance test of antenna mounted on a mobile vehicle is carried out at highway. During the measurement, it was possible to watch television without a break signal in a driving vehicle and an excellent performance of the proposed antennas was demonstrated.

In this paper, we designed a reduced height waveguide(WG) to microstrip mode converter with a short transition length. The mode converter is composed of a mode converter using E-plane probe and a modified impedance transformer. The mode converter was designed using a probe shorted to top of a 50 ohm ridge WG. The modified impedance transformer was designed to connect the mode converter to the reduced height WG. For wide bandwidth operation, the coupling of the two parts was tuned. The structure of the mode converter was optimized for low loss and wide bandwidth, and the optimized mode converter was fabricated. The performance of the mode converter was extracted using the thru and line S-parameters for back-to-back connections, and the connector loss was calibrated. The mode converter has a right angle structure and short transition length, 7.2 mm. The mode converter shows excellent performances; the insertion loss of 0.12 dB at 15 GHz, and the return loss above 10 dB for the full Ku-band.

In this paper, a novel small-diameter cylindrical post capacitor inserted into an evanescent-mode rectangular waveguide (EMRWG) is proposed for easier tuning. In order to feed the EMRWG, the proposed structure uses a single ridge rectangular waveguide with the same width and height as the waveguide at the input and output ends. The inserted post capacitor are made up a circular groove formed in the center of the lower part of the broad wall of the EMRWG, and a concentric cylindrical post inserted into the upper part. First, the equivalent circuit model for the proposed structure is presented. When the EMRWG and the single ridge waveguide are combined, the joint susceptance and the turns ratio of the ideal transformer are calculated by two simulations using HFSS (3d fullwave simulator, Ansoft Co.) respectively. The susceptance and resonance characteristics of the inserted post were analyzed by using the obtained parameters and the characteristics of the EMRWG. A 2-post filter with a center frequency of 4.5 GHz and a bandwidth of 170 MHz was designed using a WR-90 waveguide, and the simulation results by using the HFSS and CST, equivalent circuit model were in good agreement.

By using the point matching method, the coplanar waveguide shielded by the rectangular waveguide has been analyzed. The particular potential solution of C.P.W has been obtained from the boundary condition by using the point matching method. The line capacitance has been obtained from the total charge of the center conductor per length. The effective dielectric constant and the line impedance have been obtained from the line capacitance of C.P.W.

본 논문에서는 모드 매칭법과 일반 산란계수법을 이용하여 경사진 금속봉이 도파란내에 놓여 있을 때 반사 특성과 투과 특성을 구하였으면, 이 결과를 이용하여 동축선로와 도파관과의 접합에 응용할 수 있도록 최적의 조건을 도출하였다. 여기서 반사특성은 기울기사 클수록 뚜렷아세 개선되어서 최소-40dB까지 감소하였고, 투과특성은 최적의 각도 45$^{\circ}$에서 최대의 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 이를 HFSS의 결과와 비교하였을 때 잘일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

An arbitrary shaped iris in rectangular waveguideis investigated using FEM-CDMA with triangularprism elements in this paper. The volume of irisis subdivided into a relatively small number of triangular prism elements and FEM is used to formulate the field distribution. On the other hand, the fields in the waveguide region are represented by BIM derived from the waveguide Green's function and boundary conditions. The proposed method is verified through the design and experiment for the circular iris filter using WR-90 waveguide.
