We have described a high power hybrid envelope elimination and restoration(H-EER) transmitter for IEEE 802.16e Mobile World Interoperability for Microwave Access(WiMAX) using an efficiency optimized power amplifier(PA). The PA has been designed to have maximum PAE at the important power generation $V_{ds}$, region using Nitronex 100-W PEP GaN HEMT. For the high power application, H-EER transmitter should be considered the regenerative oscillation problem due to the PA's bias fluctuation effect and bias modulator stability issue. Therefore, the bias modulator for H-EER transmitter has been designed to suppress the regenerative oscillation. For the interlock experiment, the bias modulator has been built with the efficiency of 72% and peak output voltage of 30 V for the envelope signal with a PAPR of 8.5 dB. The H-EER transmitter for WiMAX application has been achieved a high PAE characteristic, 38.8 % at an output power of 41.25 dBm. By using digital predistortion(DPD) technique, the Relative Constellation Error (RCE) has been satisfied the specification of -34.5 dB. This is the first work at 2.655 GHz high power H-EER transmitter for WiMAX application.

In this paper, we analyzed RF-DC conversion efficiency for the dual -polarization rectenna and the antenna position changing. Dual-Polarization rectenna consist of a two major parts, receiving antenna and rectifying circuits. We made dual-polarization 2.45GHz rectenna using the two dipole antennas and patch antenna. Rectifying circuit is consisted by a Schottky-Barrier diode with a large forward current and reverse breakdown voltage. The results of RF-DC conversion efficiency for the each of designed dual-polarization rectenna has 69.1% with 360$\Omega$(dipole type) and 75.4% with 340$\Omega$(patch type ) optimum load resistor. When the each of dual-polarization rectenna has optimal load resistor, it's conversion efficiency shows of $\pm$20% in dipole type and $\pm$5 in patch type at 0~180。position.

In-plane shear tests were performed to investigate the shear property change of FRP by plasma modification. Graphite/epoxy prepreg was used as a test material and plasma source was a microwave (2.4GHz) type. Plasma was induced by oxygen gas and its flow rate was kept $4{\sim}5$sccm with low vacuum state of $10^{-3}$ Torr. Prepreg was stacked unidirectionally ($[0^0]_8$) after plasma modification. Wettability was determined by measuring a contact angle. The results showed that the contact angle was decreased from $86^0$ to $45^0$ after plasma modification. Shear strength was also improved by ${\sim}10%$. SEM examination was made on the fracture surface and functional group produced by the plasma modification was investigated by XPS.

This study was conducted to develop a grain moisture meter using microwave free space transmission technique at X-band frequency. The 10.5GHz microwave oscillator using a dielectric resonator was designed and fabricated to transmit electromagnetic wave through standard horn antenna to a sample holder with the wetted Hwasung and Chuchung rough rice(12.00∼26.25%). To detect the output voltage of transmitted wave from receiving horn antenna, the detector was composed of shottkey diode and RF impedance matching circuit. The regression model for measurement of grain moisture content was developed. Its correlation coefficient and standard error of prediction (SEP) were found to be 0.9882 and 0.657 respectively between measure and predicted moisture contents.

This paper presents the design approach and test results of the Q-band precision subminiature coaxial adaptor based on transmission line theory using multi-step impedance and air-holes to increase its cutoff frequency. In order to increase the frequency performance, the adaptor is designed with hooked structure, fixing step, multi-air-holes, and outer conductor. The return loss increments due to the hooked structure and multi air-holes are minimized to 2 dB and 1.5 dB, respectively. A VSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of <1.2 is obtained from DC to 40 GHz, while guaranteeing the durability of the adaptor from room-temperature$(25^{\circ}C)$ to $120^{\circ}C$.

Structural surface becomes an antenna. The integration of antennas into structural body panels is a new high payoff technology. It emerged from the need to improve structural efficiency and antenna performance. In this paper, we developed new design concept for the structural surface which transmits and receives the electromagnetic signals, and it is termed Surface-Antenna-Structure (SAS). Design procedure was presented including structure design. material selection and design of antenna elements, which was processed according to the communication with KORSAT satellite at Ku-Band (12.25-12.75 GHz). The final demonstration article was 350$\times$200$\times$7.5mm flat antenna panel. Experimental results for antenna performances were in good agreements with design requirements. Also structural analysis was performed with SAS. estimating stress distributions under simply supported condition with Laminated Plate Theories and Wavier Solutions. The SAS concept can be extended to give a useful guide to manufacturers of structural body panels as well as antenna designers. promising innovative future communication technology.

We have been successfully fabricated the low nois HEMT device with AlGaAs and GaAs structure. The epitazial layer with n-type AlgaAs and undoped GaAs was grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) system. Ohmic resistivity of the ource and drain contact is below 5${\times}10^{6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^{2}$ by the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. The ideality factor of the Schottky gate is below 1.6 and the gate material was Ti/Pt/Au. The HEMTs with 0.25$\mu$m-long and 200$\mu$m-wide gates have exhibited a noise figure of 0.65dB with associated gain of 9dB at 12GHz, and a transconductance of 208mS/mm.

A frequency modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) transmitter with a high-robust relaxation oscillator for subcarrier generation and a dual-path Ring VCO for RF FM is proposed, featuring low power and low complexity. A prototype 3.65-4.25 GHz FM-UWB transceiver employing the presented transmitter is fabricated in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS for short-range wireless data transmission. Experimental results show a bit error rate (BER) of $10^{-6}$ at a data rate of 12.5 kb/s with a communication distance of 60 cm is achieved and the power dissipation of 4.3 mW for the proposed transmitter is observed from a 1.8 V supply.

We present a ring hybrid balun with additional two ${\lambda}/4$ short stubs that offers excellent amplitude and phase balance performance. The phase difference which is essentially occurred in $180^{\circ}$ ring hybrid is compensated by a ${\lambda}/4$ short stub in one output port. To compensate the amplitude imbalance inherent in the ring hybrid, the series resistance will be added to the second stub which is connected to another output port. The measured balun shows that phase imbalance is less than $2.5^{\circ}$ and magnitude imbalance is less than 0.2dB over a 1.75-2.25 GHz.

In this study, the shielding effectiveness of the Zn-Al arc thermal metal film coated cement-mortar mixed with copper powder by reflection, absorption, multi-reflection loss in 2.25~2.65 GHz was reviewed. By enhancing the mixing ratio of copper powder, the shielding effectiveness by absorption and multi-reflection loss was increased, but shielding rate(%) based on 80 dB showed below 20%. The Zn-Al arc thermal metal film coated on specimen, the shielding rate increased 3.5 times by reflection loss.
