본 논문에서는 8개의 단위 안테나로 구성된 원형배열안테나(Circular Array)의 편파(Polarization) 특성을 고려한 위상 비교 방향탐지에 대해 고찰하였다. 단위 안테나는 6 ~ 12 GHz의 광대역에서 동작하는 Cavity-Backed 패치 안테나를 적용하였으며, 다양한 편파를 수신할 수 있도록 Radial 방향으로 배치하였다. 위상 비교 시 정밀한 각도를 얻기 위해 넓은 간격의 소자들을, 모호성을 해결하기 위해 좁은 간격의 소자들을 적용하였다. 방위각과 고각 모두 ±20° 영역에 대해 2차원의 방향 탐지를 수행하였으며 정면 근처에서는 0.5°, 15° 근방 영역에서는 1.6° 이하의 도래각(DOA) 오차가 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a microwave hyperthermic lipolysis method to reduce subcutaneous fat without skin burn using external RF antenna. Since skin is closer to the antenna and has higher conductivity compared to the fat beneath, the temperature of the skin rises higher than that of the fat when the external antenna illuminates EM energy into a body, which may cause skin burn. In order to avoid the damages on skin, a skin cooling system is employed to the external antenna. The operating frequency is set at 5.8 GHz which is one of the ISM bands, to concentrate EM power efficiently on fat and not to heat up the muscle behind the fat. The operation time and RF power level has been determined based on experimental results with pork. The feasibility of the proposed method was shown by applying the method to the rat.

A considerable literature has recently grown up on the theme of ship wireless communications. However, much of the research up to now has been descriptive in the offshore area. There has been little quantitative analysis of wireless communication in inland waterways, which has received considerable attention lately. Until now, only the effects on inland river environment are examined. What is less clear is the nature of channel change caused by the antenna movement. Here we explore the moving ship-to-fixed-ship fading characteristics at 5.9 GHz for an inland waterway in the city center of China. The ship motion trajectory is designed in order to determine the effect of changes in the antenna position. We evaluate the channel fading characteristics of inland waterway, which are highly correlated with the distance between transmitter and receiver. We demonstrate that the line-of-sight component, as well as the components from multipath with obstruction reflections, contributes largely to the mean power gap. Our findings reveal critical ship-to-ship characteristics in inland waterway, which definitely contribute to the field of ship wireless communications.

본 논문에서는 RF센서 위성시스템용 데이터 전송 컬러게이트 혼 안테나를 설계하고 복사 특성을 확인하였다. 설계된 안테나는 8 ~ 8.4 GHz 에서 가장 높은 이득을 약 ${\pm}60^{\circ}$에서 형성하는 복사패턴을 갖도록 설계 제작하고 복사특성을 측정하였다. 설계된 안테나는 반사손실은 -15 dB 이하, 약 ${\pm}60^{\circ}$에서 이득은 5 dBi 이상으로 나타났다. 측정결과로부터 설계된 안테나는 RF센서 위성시스템용 데이터 전송 안테나로 사용될 수 있는 특성을 갖는 안테나로 확인되었다.

The Objective of this work was to design Composite Antenna Structures (CAS) and investigate impact behavior of CAS which was various curvature. This term, CAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constants and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, microstrip antenna layers inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at the resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was. After making five kinds of curved CAS, which radii of curvature are flat, 200, 150, 100, 50 mm. The antenna performance changed in accordance with variation of curvature. The Reflection coefficient was independent of curvature but the gain decreased with the radius of curvature. The impact test equipment was Dyna-8250 drop weight tester. The impact characteristic in accordance with curvature is maximum absorb energy is same each other. The impact energy was 8.5 J. For various Impact energy test, five energy levels 3 J, 5 J, 7 J, 10 J, 20 J were used. The performance of impact damaged antenna was estimated by measuring the return loss and the radiation pattern. It was revealed that the performance of antenna was not related to the impact damage. Because the impactor did not damage the patch directly. CAS have good impact stability for the antenna performance.

The Objective of this work was to design Surface Antenna Structure (SAS) and investigate fatigue behavior of SAS that was asymmetric sandwich structure. This term, SAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constant and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, SSFIP elements inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was 16${\times}$8 array antenna. From electrical measurements, it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. In cyclic 4-point bending, flexure behavior was investigated by static and fatigue test. Fatigue lift curve of SAS was obtained. The fatigue load was determined experimentally at a 0.75(1.875kN) load level. SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration for both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

This paper proposes a CMOS 6-bit phase shifter with low RMS phase and amplitude errors for an X-band phased array antenna. The phase shifter combines a switched-path topology for coarse phase states and a switch-filter topology for fine phase states. The coarse phase shifter is composed of phase shifting elements, single-pole double-throw (SPDT), and double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switches. The fine phase shifter uses a switched LC filter. The phase coverage is $354.35^{\circ}$ with an LSB of $5.625^{\circ}$. The RMS phase error is < $6^{\circ}$ and the RMS amplitude error is < 0.45 dB at 8-12 GHz. The measured insertion loss is < 15 dB, and the return losses for input and output are > 13 dB at 8-12 GHz. The input P1dB of the phase shifter achieves > 11 dBm at 8-12 GHz. The current consumption is zero with a 1.2-V supply voltage. The chip size is $1.46{\times}0.83mm^2$, including pads.

본 논문에서는 그라운드 평면을 가지는 소형 직사각형 스파이럴 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 일반적인 스파이럴 안테나의 급전 방식인 중앙에서 급전하지 않고, 스파이럴이 끝나는 가장 자리에서 급전되는 변형된 급전 구조를 가진다. 이와 함께 급전 위치에 $'{\sqsupset}'$자 모양의 매칭회로를 추가하였다. 이 매칭회로는 공간의 제약을 받지 않고 쉽게 입력 임피던스를 매칭 할 수 있도록 한다. 안테나의 원형 편파 특성을 결정하는 파라미터를 설명하고, 제안한 안테나의 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 9.5GHz에서 동작하는 안테나를 설계하였으며, 제안한 안테나의 크기는 $0.6\lambda_g\times0.6\lambda_g$로 소형이다. 시뮬레이션 한 안테나의 입력 임피던스 대역폭$(S11\leq-10)$과 AR 대역폭$(AR\leq-3)$은 각각 8.12%, 4.62%으로 간단한 구조에 비해 특성이 매우 우수하다.
