In this paper, the electrical characteristics of interdigital capacitor with single-layer and multi-layer graphene were compared and analyzed in the microwave region. In equivalent circuit, a capacitor coupled with graphene showed the clear difference in electrical components such as resistance, inductance, and capacitance. In particular, for the capacitor with single-layer graphene, additional inductance and resistance occurred and the electrode resistance was also increased. Meanwhile, the self-resonance frequency of capacitor was shifted toward lower frequency region and its transmitted characteristic was considerably improved at frequency ranging from 0.4 to 4 GHz. The electrical characteristics of the capacitor with multi-layer graphene were somewhat different than the bare capacitor. In conclusion, we could confirm that single-layer graphene greatly influenced the electrical characteristics and performances of interdigital capacitor compared to multi-layer graphene.

This paper presents the characteristics of broadband double-cone antennas. The antenna is used to measure electromagnetic fields(2~5 GHz) radiated from a primary or a secondary electrode of a pole-transformer when partial discharge occurs inside the pole-transformer. The theoretical analysis is conducted using commercial software based on a finite difference time domain(FDTD) method. The parameters are a radius, and a height of the broadband double-cone antennas, and the number of posts on a ground plane. This paper examines influences of structural parameters of the broadband double-cone antennas on return loss. The results show that a condition for an optimum structure of broadband double-cone antennas exists. It also shows that the broadband double-cone antennas have radiation patterns similar to those of a dipole antenna. Therefore the broadband double-cone antennas are appropriate for the measurement of radiated electromagnetic fields from the pole-transformer. To verify the theoretical analysis, computed results are compared to experimental results.

In this paper, isolation enhanced antenna using isolating resonator was proposed. Two loop type antennas were designed to operate at Wi-Fi band(2.4~2.5 GHz), in symmetry to the center, and are closely located to each other. In order to enhance isolation characteristics at Wi-Fi bands, isolating resonator was designed between the two loop type antennas. The proposed isolating resonator is a slot type antenna that enhances isolation with the control of the size, and by adjusting the value of capacitor($C_D$) the resonant frequency of the isolating resonator can easily be adjusted to enhance isolation characteristic at the target frequency.

In this paper, circularly polarized patch antenna with 2-stage LNA for the reception of S-DMB is presented. It used teflon didelectric substrate of ${\in}_r$=2.2 and the size is $40{\times}40{\times}15\;[mm]$. Experimental results of fabricated antenna show that bandwidths of input return loss and axial ratio are about 22 [MHz] and 25 [MHz]. Input return loss, output return loss, gain, and noise figure of the fabricated 2-stage LNA are $S_{11}$=-14 [dB], $S_{22}$=-18 [dB], $S_{21}$=26.8 [dB], and NF=1.14 [dB] respectively. The fabricated active type antenna has total gain of 30.4 [dB] at 2.642 [GHz].

In this paper, the double circular array microstrip patch antenna was designed to minimize the side lobe in which a cooperate feeding network was used to supply the same amplitude and equi-phase to each antenna element. Eight microstirip patch antenna(MPA) elements were arrayed with $45^{\circ}$ interval in the inner circle and the outer circle respectively. The simulation results showed that when the radii of the inner circle and the outer circle were 0.7 $\lambda$0 and 1.45 $\lambda$0, the side lobes of beam pattern were minimized. As the results of the measurements, the return loss of the designed antenna was -14.5[dB] at 11.75[GHz] in the input terminal. When the level of the main lobe was normalized at 0[dB], those of the first and the second side lobe were -18[dB] and -26[dB] respectively. The radiation patterns agree well with the simulated patterns.

In this paper, we propose a method to implement an unequal power divider with different complex termination impedances for different output power ratios. The proposed method was designed using a matching the terminated complex impedances of the output port using only the transmission line, and presented an isolation circuits to satisfy the isolation characteristic between the terminating complex impedance ports. To prove the feasibility of this method, an unequal power divider with different load complex impedances with a splitting ratio k² = 3 dB and 1.7 dB and an unequal power divider with different complex termination impedances of all ports with a splitting ratio k² = 3 dB was designed at a center frequency of 2 GHz, and it was confirmed that the measured results of the electrical characteristics agree well the simulation.

Due to the increasing number of wireless communication devices in mmWave frequency bands, there is a high demand for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and heat dissipating materials to avoid device malfunctions. This paper proposes an EMI shielding composite film with a high heat dissipation characteristic. To achieve this, a conductive grid is integrated with a polymer-based composite layer including magnetic and heat dissipating filler materials. A high shielding effectiveness (>40 dB), low reflection shielding effectiveness (<3 dB), high thermal conductivity (>10 W/m·K), thin thickness (<500 ㎛) are simultaneously achieved with a tailored design of composite layer compositions and grid geometries in 5G communication band of 26.5 GHz.

A compact LPDA antenna consisting of right triangle-shaped dipole elements appended with strips is proposed for UWB applications. First, right triangle-shaped dipole elements are used instead of conventional strip dipole elements to reduce the width of the LPDA antenna. Second, the spacing between the LPDA elements is decreased to reduce the length of the LPDA antenna. Finally, strips are appended at the ends of the right triangle-shaped dipole elements in order to further reduce the width of the antenna. A prototype of the proposed antenna with 16 elements and gain > 4 dBi is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with dimensions of 44 mm×30 mm. Measured frequency band of the fabricated antenna is 2.99-14.76 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which ensures UWB operation, and measured gain range is 4.0-5.5 dBi with a front-to-back ratio larger than 10 dB. The length and width of the proposed compact LPDA antenna are reduced by 40.9% and 20.6%, respectively, compared to the conventional LPDA.

With the recent prediction of 'Cycle 25', the importance of space weather research increases. Accordingly, the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC)-23 has adopted Agenda Item 9.1a) and carried out sharing researches between active/passive space weather observation systems and existing services. Therefore, in this paper, in order to increase the precision of space weather environment data and secure the frequency spectrum for observation systems, the direct interference effect from the weather radar in Gosan, Jeju on the space weather observation receiver in Hallim, Jeju, and the indirect interference on the observation receiver by diffraction and scattering from the radar target have been analyzed. As a result, it can be known that the radar direction, the propagation direction diffracted and scattered from the target, and the Rradar Cross Section (RCS) of the radar target, the reception area of the space weather observation antenna, and the antenna off-boresight are important parameters for the interference effect analysis.
