As a study on electromagnetic radiation emission from the neon signs, this paper has investigated the characteristics of frequency bands and spectra intensities under the operations of the sign's OFF, ON/OFF and continuous ON states. Also we have studied the above characteristics when a distance between the sign and the antenna is varied. All data were obtained in the range of 0.1∼1,000[MHz] by using spectrum analyzer along with the loop, biconical and log periodic antenna. As the result, we found that the radiated electromagnetic waves of the sign at continuous ON states were measured only in the range of 30∼400[MHz] but those of the sign at ON/OFF states were appeared widely in the range of 2∼1,000[MHz].

The most of faults in gas insulation of power facilities are caused by partial discharge. Therefore we simulated partial discharge and measured the radiated electromagnetic wave emitted from partial discharge in the $SF_6$ gas by biconical antenna. This paper describes time delay characteristics of radiated electromagnetic waves with distance between antenna and discharge source.

In this paper, electromagnetic waves radiated from discharge at three-type electrodes(needle-plane, plane-plane and sphere-plane electrode) using AC power source in air are measured and the peculiar patterns of their spectra are reported. The radiated electromagnetic waves were measured in bandwidth of VHF(30-230[MHz]) using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. When the discharge onset voltage range, high electric field intensity is shown in frequency band of 45, 70, 80[MHz] in case of needle-plane electrode configuration and 40[MHz] in case of plane-plane and sphere-plane electrodes configuration. However, when the breakdown voltage range, the frequency spectrum distribution of radiated electromagnetic waves appear different in the whole frequency range according to the shapes of electrode.

This paper presents the method for an estimation of discharge current waveform in short gap discharge by radiated electromagnetic fields. The method of current waveform estimation is to use the one antenna method (single field method) with a measured electric or magnetic field at given field point by a time domain antenna. In order to verify the availability of the estimation theory, the discharge current waveform estimation was performed by one antenna methods using the measured electric fields of Wilson & Ma and compared with experiments. In addition diagnosis technique for power equipments is able to prevent from large accidents by finding signs of tile accidents before they happen. From the results of the estimation of discharge current, we have a possibility for the application of insulation diagnosis technique for power equipments using S$F_6$ gas. From this point of view, this paper simulated discharge progress and partial discharge by using needle-plan electrodes system in S$F_6$, studied the distribution of frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. From the experimental results of this study, according to the consideration of the mutual relation between frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves and discharge progress, it was confirmed that detecting Partial discharge and estimating discharge progress in S$F_6$ could be Possible.

In this paper, electromagnetic waves were measured in accordance with propagating the discharge when positive and negative DC high voltage was applied to needle-plane electrdes and plane-plane electrdes that solid dielectric was inserted between the electrodes. The radiated electromagnetic waves were investigated in bandwidth of VHF($30{\sim}230$[MHz]) using an biconical antenna. In needle-plane electrodes high electric field intensity is shown in both frequency band of 90(MHz) and 170[MHz], and gradually decreasing characteric is appeared at high frequency band. However high electric field intensity is shown in both 80[MHz] and 140[MHz] in case of plane-plane electrodes configuration. And over 150[MHz] frequency band, rapidly decreasing characteristic is shown. Moreover, electric field intensity of positive DC is about $5{\sim}10$[dB] higher than negative DC.

Two types of small wideband antennas are proposed for UWB application. One type is small biconical structure fed by coaxial probe, which is easy to be installed on the circuit board. The other type is of planar bow-tie type fed by coplanar transmission line. Generally, the bandwidth of the latter type is significantly narrower than that of the former type. It is shown, however that the bandwidth of the latter type can be made to be comparable to that of the former, if some series inductive component is introduced in the center conductor line in the CPW transmission line by replacing some part of center line with narrower line of higher characteristic impedance. The series inductance component play an important role of neutralizing the capacitive component of the small bow-tie antenna, thereby making broadband impedance matching possible. The small planar bow-tie antenna was fabricated and experimented. The experimental results for return loss are observed to be in good agreement with simulated results. The radiation pattern is also investigated experimentally.
