This paper presents an X-band (9.375 GHz) $1{\times}2$ array microstrip antenna which is capable of active beam compensation for installation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). First of all, a basic $1{\times}2$ array microstrip antenna incorporated with wilkinson power divider was designed and performance of the array antenna was verified. Next, to verify beam steering performance of the designed array microstrip antenna, we fabricated a phase shifter, and the wilkinson power divider as module structure and measured characteristics of beam steering according to phase shifting. The main lobe is 0.6 dBi at $0^{\circ}$, and the side lobe decreased 18.8 dB. The reliable radiation pattern was achieved. Finally, an active beam steering microstrip array antenna attached with the phase shifter and the power divider on the back side of the antenna was designed and fabricated to install wing of UAV for compactness. The maximum gain is 0.1 dBi. Therefore, we obtained a basic antenna technology for compensating beam error according to wing deformation of an UAV installed array antennas.

양성자기반공학기술개발단에서는 100MeV와 20MeV의 가속기를 개발하고 있으며 빔 이용을 위하여 각 에너지에 5개의 빔라인을 구축 할 계획이다. 빔라인에는 각 마그넷과 빔 계측, 진공 등의 부품이 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 빔라인의 기초 구성품인 진공 부품의 설계를 위한 압력의 계산을 수행하였다. 각 빔라인 재질에 따른 gas load는 표면의 아웃게싱이 주요하게 고려되었으며 고진공용 Cu gasket의 진공 leak는 거의 없다고 가정하였다. 재질은 스테인레스스틸과 알루미늄의 두 가지 경우를 사용하였으며 주 배기 펌프는 이온펌프로 펌핑 스피드 125L/s의 diode 타입이다. 빔튜브의 사이즈는 CF6"의 규격 플랜지를 기본으로 빔 사이즈가 고려된 여러 플랜지의 조합으로 내부 부피를 구할 수 있었다. 빔라인 뿐만 아니라 타겟룸에 위치되어지는 튜브를 합한 경우와 펌프의 개수를 다르게 하였을 때에도 길이에 따른 압력의 프로파일을 계산하였다. 빔을 분배해 주는 AC 마그넷 이전에 이온펌프 한 개를 위치하였을 때 스테인레스스틸 빔 튜브의 경우에 최대값은 1.3E-6 torr, 최소값은 1.7E-6 torr 으로 계산 되었다. 이 결과는 가속기의 아래쪽 3개의 빔라인을 동시에 배기하고 빔 조사가 가능하도록 운영되는 조건이며 운영 마진 2배를 고려한다고 하여도 최소 진공도는 3.4E-6 torr 이다. 이온펌프는 일반적으로 9.0E-6 torr 이하에서 사용이 가능하므로 이온펌프 1개의 진공도로도 운영에 무리가 없으며 이온펌프의 수가 증가됨에 따라서 최대 도달 압력이 낮아짐을 알 수 있다.

We have developed a multi-channel fiber laser for tiled laser beam combining and a laser output array system for multi-beam alignment. The fiber laser is a master oscillator power amplifier configuration that has a common seed, a preamplifier, and a 7-channel amplifier. The output power of each channel is more than 10 W. The laser output array system is a packed cylindrical configuration for a high fill-factor, and it has capabilities for collimation and tilt control with built-in PZT. Multi-beam alignment to a target is successfully implemented using PZT controlled with a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm.

In this paper, an array antenna is designed far base station of a street micro-cell in urban areas. It has a rectangular radiation pattern. The current distribution of the array is decided by using a modified Woodward-Lawson sampling pattern synthesis method. To confirm the realization of the array antenna with rectangular pattern, 12 array antenna with a planar type monopole fed by stripline is fabricated and measured. In the results of the measured values, H-plane pattern of the antenna nearly yields a rectangular radiation pattern.

In this paper, we propose a cylindrical active phased array antenna of Beam Steering Characteristics in the horizontal plane(H-plane) and vertical plane(E-Plane) on the cylinder form array structure. We design the bent dipole antenna of the cylindrical array structure adapted excellent mutual-coupling characteristics, designed and manufactured the cylindrical array antennas and power combiner/divider unit for power dividing and combining on the antenna. The radiating elements array spacing of Cylindrical array antenna were determined to avoid grating lobes at half power beam steering. Beam steering of the antenna was implemented with 6-bit phase shifter in the transceiver and have been designed based on the characteristics the antenna beam steering at -24 degrees to 24 degrees horizontal, vertical 0 degrees to 36 degrees beam steering. A cylindrical active phased array antenna that produced for verification the performance of the antenna are measured radiation characteristics in accordance with beam steering at L-Band.

This paper is able to be solved by improving degradation in multi-path environment by adjust beam pattern angle through modifying pulse phase of each antennas by using TRM (Transmitter Receiver Module). Beam Scanning Array Antenna, which is transmitter/receiver that improves degradation in multi-path environment without any signal distortion, is designed and manufactured. Beam Scanning Array Antenna should be able to send/receive signal at the antenna's longitudinal part without distortion and should not influences other systems. Also, it should include target detecting ability by beam steering.Dispersion characteristic of Beam Scanning Antenna, which is designed, is analysed by using fidelity, and steering and radar resolution performance is verified by using $1cm{\times}1cm$ sized target.

In addition, it makes beam width checking without difficulties.

In this paper, a planar equi-phase power divider is proposed using fixed phase shifters. As the integrability of a phased array antenna increases for accurate beam steering, a conventional method to excite equi-phase signals to all element antennas, extending the feedline, has spatial limitations. Therefore, the planar equi-phase power divider is designed using a defected ground structure with a planar phase shift function without intentional feedline extension. The defected ground structure has been considered for a low insertion loss and a controllable phase shift, whereas the power divider has been designed and implemented with a port-to-port isolation and a planar configuration.

위상배열 안테나 시스템에서 빔 제어 기술은 이동통신 및 위성통신시스템, 비행하고 있는 임의의 비행체의 위치를 고도의 정확도를 가지고 추적하는 군사용 레이더 시스템이나 항공사의 통신 시스템, 선박이나 차량간의 충돌을 방지하기 위한 충돌방지 시스템 등에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 위상배열 안테나 시스템에서 위상천이기를 이용하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 방법은 원리적으로 간단하지만 실제 구현할 때 위상천이기를 제어하기 위한 제어 신호와 DC 바이어스 라인들 그리고 전력분배기로 구성되어 있기 때문에 전체 회로가 복잡해진다. 뿐만 아니라 현재로서는 위상천이기의 가격과 삽입 손실 때문에 저렴하고 높은 이을 갖는 위상 배열 안테나 시스템을 구현하기가 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 위상천이기를 사용하지 않고 발진기들의 결합을 이용함으로써 이와 같은 단점을 극복하면서 배열 안테나의 복사 빔을 제어할 수 있는 결합발진기 배열 안테나의 최근 기술동향을 분석하고 여러 기술들의 장단점을 기술한다.

The multi-stage impedance transformer and modified ring hybrid are used in designing the power divider for performance improvement. And the reflection loss and insertion loss are improved by modifying a connector structure for a coaxial-to-stripline transition.

X-band phased array antenna module for the compensation of deformed beam direction by wing deformation is designed and fabricated. The phased array antenna module consists of array antenna, phase shifter, power divider and control circuit. To select out the best component, the variation of radiation pattern by wing bending and phase error of components is simulated. The fabricated phased array antenna module shows an antenna gain of 5.84 dBi, a return loss of 13.6 dB and a bandwidth of 10.6 % at 9.375 GHz. The test bed was set up to verify the performance of beam direction compensation. This test confirmed that the main beam direction of array antenna has been well restored under wing bending of 9 %.
