Axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth enhancement is achieved for a circularly polarized (CP) cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) using a wideband hybrid coupler (WHC) combined with dual probe feed. The presented WHC, comprised of a Wilkinson power divider and a wideband $90^{\circ}$ shifter, delivers good characteristics in terms of 3 dB power splitting and consistent $90^{\circ}$ (${\pm}5^{\circ}$) phase shifting over a wide bandwidth. In turn, the proposed CP DRA, for the employment of the WHC, in place of conventional designs, provides a significant enhancement on AR bandwidth and impedance matching. The antenna prototype with the WHC exhibits a 3 dB AR bandwidth of 48.66%, an impedance bandwidth of 52.5% for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ${\leq}2$, and a bandwidth of 44.66% for a gain of no less than 3 dBi. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed WHC is suitable for broadband CP DRA design.

Modern communication systems employ wideband antennas with circular polarization (CP) radiation. In this work, asymmetric modified bow-tie (ABT) and symmetric modified bow-tie (SBT) slotted circularly polarized single-point probe-fed circular patch antennas with dimensions of $40mm{\times}40mm$ for wideband applications are proposed. A 10 dB RL bandwidth of 350 MHz with CP, 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 100 MHz, peak gain of 4.9 dBic, and 10 dB RL bandwidth of 530 MHz with CP, 3 dB AR bandwidth of 140 MHz, peak gain of 5 dBic are obtained for ABT and SBT slotted circular patch antennas, respectively. The proposed SBT slotted patch is scaled up and down to $50mm{\times}50mm$ and $30mm{\times}30mm$, respectively. The proposed scaled-up version offers 10 dB RL and 3 dB AR bandwidths of 340 MHz and 80 MHz, with a peak gain of 5 dBic. The scaled-down version offers 10 dB RL and 3 dB AR bandwidths of 710 MHz and 180 MHz, with a peak gain of 5.25 dBic. These prototypes are suitable to work in IEEE 802.11a WLAN, ISM, and IEEE 802.11ac applications. The measured and simulated results are then discussed and compared.

A single-feed composite cavity-backed four-arm curl antenna is presented for use in global positioning systems (GPS). Its primary radiating element is fed by a vacant-quarter printed ring, which helps the antenna directly match to a $50-{\Omega}$ coaxial line and produce a good circular polarization (CP). The cavity-backed reflector is employed to improve the CP radiation characteristics in terms of 3-dB axial ratio (AR) beamwidth and minimum AR value. The optimized design with an overall size of $90{\times}90{\times}25mm^3$ ($0.4725{\lambda}_o{\times}0.4725{\lambda}_o{\times}0.13{\lambda}_o$ at 1,575 MHz) results in a ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}<-10dB$ bandwidth of 8.66% (1,514-1,651 MHz) and a 3-dB AR bandwidth of 2.23% (1,555-1,590 MHz). The antenna radiates a widebeam right-hand circular polarization and operates with a measured radiation efficiency greater than 90% within its impedance matching bandwidth.

A wideband circularly polarized pinwheel-shaped planar monopole antenna fed by a wideband feeding network is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is formed by four wideband planar monopole antenna elements with aquadruple feeding network in order to improve the performance of circular polarization. Additionally, the antenna, which is introduced here, has a high gain in the z axis direction because of its folded antenna structure. The attractive characteristics of the proposed antenna are the wide impedance bandwidth of 87.3 % (1 GHz to 2.55 GHz), the 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 92.3 % (1.05 GHz to 2.85 GHz), and the maximum gain within the 3 dB AR bandwidth is about 8.24 dBic.

본 논문에서는 기존의 선형예측기법의 문제점을 선형예측계수, ar필터의 POLE위치, 포만트-밴드폭의 관점에서 분석하고, 정문반사계수의 영향을 정도추정이론에 따라 분석했으며, 이러한 분석을 근거로 하여 포만트 밴드폭 정규화 방법을 보완하였다. 정분반사계수를 1로 변경하여 정문의 영향을 정규화되어 포만트가 최적으로 강조된 스펙트럽이 된다. 이 전형예측계수는 앞뒤로 대칭되면서, 표준편차가 정문반사계수를 변경시키지 않은 성형예측계수보다 증가하므로써, 음성부호화시에 bit rate을 50%로 줄일 수있으면서 정보의 양을 그대로 보존하고 있음을 알수 있었다. 이러한 포만트 밴드폭을 0으로 정규화하는 방법을 이용하여 한국어 5개 모음을 포만트에 의해서 소음환경에서 인식하기 위한 실험을 실시하여 96.7%의 인식율을 얻을 수 있었다.

A wideband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with a single feed is proposed for use in global navigation satellite systems. Its primary radiation elements are composed of two orthogonal bowtie dipoles, which are equipped with double-printed vacant-quarter rings to allow direct matching of the antenna to a single $50-{\Omega}$ coaxial line and to produce CP radiation. The crossed bowtie dipole is appropriately incorporated with a planar metallic reflector to produce the desired unidirectional radiation pattern as well as to achieve a wideband characteristic in terms of impedance matching and axial ratio (AR) bandwidths. The designed antenna was fabricated and measured. The prototype antenna with an overall 1.2-GHz frequency size of $0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.25{\lambda}_o$ produced a measured ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$<-10 dB bandwidth of 1.05-1.79 GHz and a measured 3-dB AR bandwidth of 1.12-1.64 GHz. It also showed right-hand CP radiation with a small gain variation (${\pm}0.3dB$) and high radiation efficiency (>93%) over the operational bandwidth.

Mirror coating is applied to laser facets to improve properties of edge emitting laser diodes. In this experiment, InGaAsP/GaAs high power laser diodes were studied with respect to different degrees of anti-reflective coating. Sputterred $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ was used as the coating material and the HR coating was kept constant at 90%. Threshold current density, differential quantum efficiency, emission wavelength and the operating current at 500mW were measured for a range of AR coating and compared with theoretically calculated values; that showed good agreements. Precise wavelength control is important for laser diodes for solid state pumping because of small absorption bandwidth. In addition, since these lasers operate under CW condition, a lowest possible operating current for a given power is desired in order to minimize the heat produced. From the results of this experiment, we were able to obtain a optimum range of AR coatings for minimum operating current. The wavelength can be varied up to 4nm within this range.

In this paper, a wideband, circularly polarized patch antenna is proposed that leverages the unidirectional resonant modes of a circular patch mounted on top of a grounded dielectric-ferrite substrate. The proposed antenna is fed via the proximity coupling method and several parasitically coupled patches are placed on a dielectric superstrate to enhance the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. The resonant modes of the structure rotate only in the clockwise or counter clockwise directions. In the frequency range where the effective permeability of the ferrite layer is negative, the resonance frequencies of these modes differ significantly, which produces a large axial ratio (AR) bandwidth. For the proposed antenna, the numerical results show the 10 dB impedance bandwidth to be around 44% and the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth to be higher than 64%.

This paper proposes a new method on the EMG AR(autoregressive) modeling in pattern recognition for various head motions. The proper electrode placement in applying AR or cepstral coefficients for EMG signature discrimination is investigated. EMG signals are measured for different 10 motions with two electrode arrangements simultaneously. Electrode pairs are located separately on dominant muscles(S-type arrangement), because the bandwidth of signals obtained from S-type placement is wider than that from C-type(closely in the region between muscles). From the result of EMG pattern recognition test, the proposed mIAR(modified integrated mean autoregressive model) technique improves the recognitions rate around 17-21％ compared with other the AR and cepstral methods.

이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 멀티미디어 트래픽 제공에 관련된 가장 중요한 이슈는 이동 호스트(클라이언트)에게 지속적인 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하는 것이다. 그러나, 핸드-오프를 초래하는 클라이언트의 이동성으로 인해 클라이언트와 네트워크간에 협상된 QoS가 보장되지 못할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 멀티미디어 트래픽에 대해 지속적인 QoS를 지원하기 위한 호 수락 제어 메커니즘을 제안한다. 각 셀은 핸드-오프 호를 위해 이웃 셀로부터 대역폭을 예약한다. 만약, 핸드-오프 호를 위해 필요 이상으로 대역폭이 예약된다면 신규 호의 블록킹 확률이 증가하므로, 핸드-오프 호를 위해 예약할 대역폭의 크기를 정확히 결정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 예약할 대역폭의 정확한 크기를 결정하고, 네트워크 상태에 다라 이 크기를 적응적으로 조정하기 위해 MPP(Mobility Pattern Profile)와 2-계층 셀 구조를 기반으로 한 적응적 대역폭 예약을 제안한다. 또한, MPP를 이용한 다음-셀 예측 기법과 적응적 대역폭 예약을 기반으로 한 호 수락 제어 메커니즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 호 수락 제어 메커니즘의 성능을 평가하기 위해, 신규 호 블록킹률, 핸드-오프 호 종료율, 대역폭 이용률을 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 본 논문의 호 수락 제어 메커니즘의 성능이 NR-CAT1, FR-CAT1, AR-CAT1과 같은 기존의 메커니즘들보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
