In this paper, the antenna which has a multiband operation (GSM850, EGSM, DCS1800, USPCS, W-CDMA) is proposed. This antenna was designed by the commercial software HFSS 3-D EM simulator, and it is organized by using a meander branch structure which has a via and lines on FR-4$(\varepsilon_r=4.4)$ substrate. Especially, it has a gap feeding structure which makes good operation at overall bandwidth. The designed antenna is manufactured by PCB processing, and measured by using a network analyzer and a test chamber. The manufactured antenna with the dimension of 8 mm width, 20 mm height and 3.2 mm thickness is able to applied as an internal antenna for multiband mobile phones.

In this paper, we propose a double-faced window printed antenna for aircraft applications. The proposed antenna structure consists of a feeding line and a multi-loop radiator located on different sides of the window to use the limited given-area effectively. The proposed antenna is optimized by the genetic algorithm in conjunction with the FEKO EM simulator. The optimized antenna is built and installed on a 1/10 sized KUH-Surion mock-up and antenna performances such as the reflection coefficient and the radiation patterns are measured. The optimized antenna shows a half power matching bandwidth of about 33 % at 60 MHz and an average bore-sight gain of about -3.49 dBi. To verify the reception capability of the optimized antenna, we simulated the received power according to a flight scenario. The result confirms that the optimized antenna shows a minimum received power level above -60 dBm at a range of 200 km, which is similar to the pole antenna that is currently used as a FM voice antenna for KUH-Surion.

In in vitro cell experiments for the biological assessment of electromagnetic (EM) field, exposure system (ES) must be analyzed in terms of current density (J) and induced electric field intensity (E). Although in uniform B field, E and J in the sample medium are not distributed uniformly because of conductivity in sample dish. Thus, the precise estimation for E and J induced by uniform ELF within sample media is very important keys for successful in in vitro experiments. In this paper, we designed in vitro ELF ES with electromagnetic analysis using MATLAB simulator. Then we calculated from the measured B field to verify induced E & J distribution for random locations of cells within media in two cases of samples existence or not. ES with B field ranging from 0 to 20G consists of Helmholz coil and current generator based on the microprocessor. Also, we developed ELFES for each B field generation as uniform and non-uniform modes.

In the RFID system, one of the important criteria of tag antenna performance is the detection distance. The most important factor determining the detection distance of the tag antenna is the Radar Cross Sections(RCS). In this paper, we propose a method to simply measure the RCS of the RFID tag antenna using two reader antennas(Tx and Rx) and a network analyzer. We estimate RCS' from the RCS equation based on the measured $S_{21}$ using the network analyzer. We compare the measured $S_{21}$ values with the calculated $S_{21}$ values and the simulated $S_{21}$ values using EM simulator. The used tag antennas are two kinds of dipole-type, metal-type, and an inductively-coupled type ones. In case of the dipole type, the measured, simulated and calculated values of the RCS are almost the same. In case of other types, we obtain the measured RCS values with a difference of about 3 dB.
