In this paper, the compact antenna with three folded patches for use in a number of bands of LTE, WCDMA, US-PCS, and WLAN at the same time is proposed. As the changes in widths of the 3 patches to widen the insufficient bandwidth are given, it is optimized for $S_{11}$<-6dB(VSWR<3). The CPW with a number of advantages is used in the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated with FR4 substrate to the size of $44.9{\times}35{\times}1mm^3$. Fabricated antenna has within $S_{11}$<-6dB under operating bands. And measured characteristics of radiation patterns and gains are shown under operating bands.

In this paper, a design method for a compact stepped open slot antenna for an operation in the UWB band is studied. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by inserting L-shaped slots on the ground plane of the stepped open slot antenna through the creation of a resonance in the low frequency, and a strip director is appended to the antenna in order to increase the gain in the middle and high frequency regions. The effects of varying the length of the L-shaped slots, the distance between the director and the slot antenna, and the director length on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna with the size of $30mm{\times}30mm$ is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 3.02-11.04 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band.

The bandwidth of microstrip slot antenna with T-shaped feed line was a wider than one of the conventional feeding structure. When the slot antenna with bi-directional radiator wants to radiate only one direction, the reflector must be set up seperately. But this antenna doesn't need set up reflector. And then we proposed to a new method of a directional slot radiator with a cross-shaped feedline including the reflector using 2-layers dielectric materials. It is calculated waves and electric field distribution in the time domain by using FDTD method. We also are calculated return loss, VSWR, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results, respectively. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna changes as length($\I_s$) and width($\W_s$) of slot, length of the horizontal feedline($\I_d$), length of the vertical feedline($\I_u$) and offset sensitively. After optimizing the parameters of design, the maximum bandwidth was measured as 1,850MHz at the center frequency 2.5 GHz.

In this paper, the CPW-fed Ultra-wideband antenna is designed and fabricated for UWB communications. To achieve ultra-wide bandwidth of the antenna, we propose the mutual coupling of two planar monopole antennas. The mutual coupling of monopole pair of the proposed antenna is optimized by adjusting the parameters, the widths of the planar monopoles and the space between two monopoles. Two UWB antennas with different horizontal sections of the CPW-fed monopole antenna are fabricated and measured to examine the mutual coupling effects on the monopole pair antenna. The measured result show that two antennas are satisfied with UWB communication band(3.1$\sim$10.6Ghz).

This research introduces a novel approach to address the complexities of the 5G ceramic antenna manufacturing process through the utilization of a blockchain-based 5G ceramic antenna manufacturing (B-5GAM) architecture. By seamlessly integrating blockchain technology and smart contracts, this architecture enhances transparency, security, and efficiency within the realm of 5G ceramic antenna manufacturing. The impact of applying blockchain to enhance security measures, process efficiency, and overall reliability is evident, not only optimizing the production process but also establishing a robust foundation for future advancements in communication technology. Validation of the B-5GAM architecture was achieved by manufacturing 5G antennas and implementing blockchain and smart contracts through algorithm proposals, confirming their practicality in real manufacturing environments. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of employing blockchain and smart contracts in the field of 5G ceramic antenna manufacturing, confirming their potential to enhance manufacturing efficiency and reliability.

A simple but accurate equivalent circuit of an aperture-coupled cavity-fed microstrip patch antenna is developed. It consists of ideal transformers, admittance elements, and transmission lines, and the related circuit element values are computed by applying the reciprocity theorem and complex power concept with the spectral-domain immittance approach. After validating by the published design example, a dual-band antenna was designed with the help of a hybrid optimization method. For this purpose, the Genetic Algorithm is applied with the Nelder-Mead simplex method. The obtained good results show that this approach turned out to be a very efficient tool for the design of aperture-coupled cavity-fed microstrip patch antenna having various structural design parameters.

This paper presents the multibeam service coverage of GEO(Geostationary Orbit) satellite and the practical antenna scheme scenarios to provide the universal communication services on the Korean peninsula. The proposed antenna systems consist of the simplest scheme and feed network so that they can be mounted on satellites. The feed networks are effectively organized according to the frequency and polarization plan. Despite simple structure, all scenarios meet the electrical performance by the optimization of feed allocation and feed excitation.

최근 반도체 공정을 위한 증착이나 식각장비에 있어서 웨이퍼 크기의 증가는 새로운 연구 분야를 발생시켰다. 웨이퍼의 크기가 200 mm에서 300 mm, 450 mm로 커지지만, 같은 특성 혹은 더 좋은 특성을 필요로 하는 플라즈마를 이용하는 진공장비의 기하적 구조는 비례적으로 증가하지 않는다. 이런 이유로 450 mm의 웨이퍼 공정용 장비의 제작에 있어서 진공 부품과 플라즈마 발생 소스는 더 이상 시행착오로 실험하기에는 막대한 돈과 시간, 인력의 투자가 필요하기 때문에 불가능하게 되었다. 이런 시행착오를 줄이기 위함의 일환으로 본 연구에서는 450 mm 웨이퍼 공정용 장비의 챔버 구성에 따른 플라즈마 균일도를 수치 모델링으로 예측했다. 챔버를 구성함에 있어서 baffle의 형상과 위치, 배기 manifold에 따른 유동분포, 플라즈마 균일도를 위한 안테나의 구조 등 중요한 요소들이 많이 존재하지만, 일단 전체적인 챔버의 종횡비가 결정되어야 가능한 일들이다. 첫째, 기판홀더와 챔버 벽면 간의 거리, 기판홀더와 배기구까지의 거리, 기판과 소스와의 거리가 인입되는 가스 분포와 플라즈마 균일도에 가장 큰 영향을 끼칠 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 위의 세 가지 챔버 내부 구조물의 크기 비에 따라 기판 바로 위에서의 플라즈마 균일도가 가장 좋은 디자인을 최적화하는 것이 본 계산의 목적이다. 기판 표면에서의 플라즈마 밀도 균일도는 기판홀더와 벽면과의 거리, 기판과 소스와의 거리가 멀수록, 기판홀더와 배기구와의 거리가 짧을수록 좋아졌으며, 그림과 같이 안테나의 디자인이 4 turn으로 1층인 경우, 두 turn의 안테나만 사용하여 기판표면에서 20~30%의 플라즈마 균일도를 4.7%까지 낮출 수 있었다

The objective of this study is to develop an embedded antenna structure with NFC and WPC composite functions. By selecting stable materials, the optimal component ratio of the polymer sheet was determined. The low cost embedded winding method compared to the existing FPCB was devised. During the winding process, characterization and process technology were developed. We also fabricated a ferrite mold to process the WPC grooves and developed the process technology for optimizing the WPC antenna. The following conclusions were obtained. (1) Optimum composition ratio was derived as Fe 87.5%, Si 7%, Al 5.5% and selected as the final material. (2) Optimal sheet conditions were derived from the experimental evaluation method and the experimental design method through the combination test of the optimized sheet and the conventional mass production FPCB. (3) According to coil diameter and inner diameter, Q value fluctuation, resistance value and efficiency fluctuation are obtained. Therefore, the most suitable coil condition is selected and Rx matching is performed. (4) The EMV load modulation test and the cognitive distance test of the polymer sheet and the ferrite sheet showed that the recognition distance of the polymer sheet at 1k and 4K was 32-33 mm and the recognition distance of the ferrite sheet at the same condition was 30-31 mm.
