In this paper, two $4{\times}4$ rectangular patch array antennas operated at 20 GHz are implemented for the satellite communication. Two $2{\times}2$ sub-arrays are designed and used for the design of $4{\times}4$ patch array. The sixteen patch antennas and microstrip feeding line are printed on the single-layered substrate. The spacing between the array elements is chosen to be $0.736{\lambda}$. The HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) of the $4{\times}4$ microstrip patch array is 17.01 degrees in the E-plane and 17.71 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 11.6dB in the experimental results. The HPBW of the recessed $4{\times}4$ microstrip patch array is 18.66 degrees in E-plane and 17.12 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 12.55dB in the experimental results.

In this paper, we present a two-element circularly-polarized antenna array for UHF-band RFID reader applications. The antenna element in the array is a comer-truncated rectangular patch placed on a thick plastic-foam dielectric. The patch is fed on one of its edges by a microstrip line printed on a separate thin substrate. The array antenna is fed by a microstrip power divider. Parametric studies on the patch are carried out, from which an optimum design of a single antenna element is derived. The element spacing and the feed network of the array are investigated. A commercial electromagnetic software is employed in the analysis and design of the antenna. The designed array is fabricated and tested. Measurements show good performance characteristics of the fabricated antenna: a 11.2-dBi gain, a reflection coefficient of - 14 dB, an axial ratio less than 3 dB over 3-dB beamwidths of 40 and 60 degrees on two principal planes.

In this paper, the analysis and design of a spirally slotted array antenna with high efficiency are presented. Electric fields in the slots are calculated by electromagnetic fields in the upper waveguide and radiation field equations are derived. Slots are arrayed spirally on the upper circular plate of twofold radial waveguide. In order to suppress grating lobes from the array, a slow wave structure is inserted in the upper waveguide. This antenna is characterized by a good circular polarization, high efficiency of 75 percent and grating lobes below -34dB.

In the Taguchi parameter design, the product-array approach using orthogonal arrays is mainly used. However, it often requires an excessive number of experiments. An alternative approach, which is called the combined-array approach, was suggested by Welch et. al. (1990) and studied by others. In these studies, only single response variable was considered. We propose how to simultaneously optimize multiple responses when there are correlations among responses, and when we use the combined-array approach to assign control and noise factors.

The paper deals with comparative study for characteristics of approximation of design space according to various approximate models and sensitivity analysis using orthogonal array experiments in structure design of active type DSF which was developed for float-over installation of offshore plant. This study aims to propose the orthogonal array experiments based design methodology which is able to efficiently explore an optimum design case and to generate the accurate approximate model. Thickness sizes of main structure member were applied to the design factors, and output responses were considered structure weight and strength performances. Quantitative effects on the output responses for each design factor were evaluated using the orthogonal array experiment. Best design case was also identified to improve the structure design with weight minimization. From the orthogonal array experiment results, various approximate models such as response surface model, Kriging model, Chebyshev orthogonal polynomial model, and radial basis function based neural network model were generated. The experiment results from orthogonal array method were validated by the approximate modeling results. It was found that the radial basis function based neural network model among the approximate models was able to approximate the design space of the active type DSF with the highest accuracy.

A wide-band E-plane notch phased array antenna having bandwidths of 3:1 and a scan volume of $\pm$ 45 is designed considering the active element pattern (AEP) with analysis of the full structure of E-plane notch phased array antenna. Using the numerical E-plane waveguide simulator as an infinite linear array in the broadside angle, the active reflection coefficient (ARC) of the unit element is optimized in the design frequency range. To evaluate the convergence of the AEP, the simulation of full array as changing the number array is investigated, and the minimum numbers of array that have characteristics similar to the AEP of an infinite array are determined.

The optimization of cooling system parameters for designing injection mold is very important to acquire the highest part quality. In this paper, the integration of computer simulations of injection molding and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) with orthogonal array was used as a design tool to optimize the cooling system parameters aimed at minimizing the part warpage. The design optimizer was applied to find the optimum levels of cooling system parameters for a dustpan. This optimization resulted in more uniform temperature distribution over the part and significant reduction of a part warpage, showing the capability of present method as an effective design tool. The whole optimization process was performed systematically in a proper number of cooling simulations. The design optimizer can be utilized effectively in the industry practice for designing mold cooling system with less cost and time.

It is difficult to design accurately the bandgap of metamaterial depending on metamaterial pattern and array configuration. In this paper, we propose a design method for the wanted bandgap frequency using any metamaterial pattern in 2 dimensional array. Metamaterial structure is consisted of periodic array. Therefore the calculation area in FDTD(finite difference time domain) method can be reduced by applying the periodic boundary condition to 2-D metamaterial array. The method for design and calculation the L and C values by using 2-D is also considered. So it can be designed more accurately and rapidly. For example, we designed metamaterial square pattern array in 5 GHz, and compared with the 1-D metamaterial pattern using analysis method in microstrip line. As a result, we found that the accuracy of this proposed method can be incresed to 14.7%.
