This paper presents a novel design for dual-band bandpass filters. The proposed filters are applicable to the carrier aggregation of the TV white space (TVWS) band and long-term evolution (LTE) band for cognitive radio applications. The lower passband is the TVWS band (470-698 MHz) whose fractional bandwidth is 40 %, while the higher passband is the LTE band (824-894 MHz) with 8 % fractional bandwidth. Since the two passbands are located very close to each other, a transmission zero is inserted to enhance the rejection level between the two passbands. The TVWS band filter is designed using magnetic coupling to obtain a wide bandwidth, and the LTE band filter is designed using dielectric resonators to achieve good insertion loss characteristics. In addition, in the proposed design, a transmission zero is placed with cross-coupling. The proposed dual-band bandpass filter is designed as a two-port filter (one input/one output) as well as a three-port filter (one common input/two outputs). The measured performances show good agreement with the simulated performances.

For the accurate analysis of motional characteristics of electrical machines, it is needed to solve the motion equations together with the electromagnetic field equations. In this paper the sequential coupling of systems, the spring mass system and the electromagnetic system, is adopted. The induced current and the magnetic fields are calculated by finite element method(FEM) with given speed. And then, with the computed elec-tromagnetic force, the mechanical equations are solved by the Runge-Kutta method. The above two processes are repeated sequentially to obtain the time domain solutions. The resultant values are applied to the energy conservation law to prove the usefulness of the proposed sequential method.

Whereas it is well known that microwave propagation around corners of urban area is estimated well by the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD), it is not clear how much depolarization occurs at a given receiver position and how much transmission through walls affects to total path loss. This paper presents the results of the ray tracing simulation to answer these questions. Simulations of microwave propagation around corners were performed for various line-of-sight (LOS) and out-of-sight(OOS) positions of a receiver, by summing the electrical fields of reflected, diffracted and transmitted rays coherently. Since height difference between transmitter and receiver, as well as ground plane, causes depolarization, the ray tracing simulation estimates the cross-polarization coupling. It was found that the cross-polarization coupling decreases as receiver moves away from transmitter. Another part of the study focused on the signal transmitted through building walls of the corner. It was found that the transmitted field is dominant at OOS region when the conductivity of the walls is low (for example, lower than 0.0l S/m). The simulation results of the ray tracing technique in this study agreed well with an experimental measurement around corners.

A 2 stage 6-pole bandpass filter(BPF) is designed and implemented by using triple-mode cavity for satellite payload system. The BPF has an 100 MHz bandwidth at the center frequency of 14.5 GHz, Ku-band. The cavity filter uses two orthogonal $TE_{113}$ modes and one $TM_{012}$ mode. The intercavity coupling between the adjacent cavities results in a Chebyshev response and is accomplished by H-field component of TE modes. The size and location of intercavity slot are determined by the coupling equation from H-field of TE resonant modes in circular cavity. The measured filter response agrees well with the theoretical data.

This paper proposes a new design method of bandpass filter with single dual-mode resonator. In the proposed method, a coupling coefficient between two resonators was obtained by considering a dual-mode resonator as two single resonators. Based on the obtained coupling coefficient, two resonant frequencies of dual-mode resonator were calculated and then arranged according to a transmission zero's location of required filter. To verify the proposed theory, two WLAN bandpass filters which have a transmission zero to a lower and an upper stopband repectively were designed and implemented.

This paper describes a design of a miniature patch antenna and its 4-channle array for 5.25 GHz wireless LAN band. Each patch element is designed for the low mutual coupling between each element and for the small size of the array antenna. The size of the each element is $7 mm{\times}14.5 mm{\times}5.6 mm$ and it satisfy IEEE 802.11a frequency band. It is arrayed for independent 4-channel operation. The total size of the array antenna is $35.6 mm{\times}52.5 mm{\times}5.6 mm$. The measured reflection coefficients and the radiation patterns of the fabricated antennas show the reasonable agreements with prediction.

This paper presents a novel modeling technique for traces that cross a defected ground structure. A simple and accurate equivalent circuit model provides clear insight into the coupling mechanism between a microstrip line and a slot or split. The circuit models consist of a transformer as the coupling mechanism and LC resonators as the ground with a slot or split structure. Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are added to the model to increase accuracy and equivalence at high frequency. Simulated and measured S-parameters are presented for defected ground structures. The accuracy and validity of the proposed equivalent circuit model is verified by evaluation of the S-parameter characteristics of the defected ground structures and comparison with measured results.

In this paper, a novel varactor-tuned combline bandpass filter is presented. The coupling varactor diode between line elements is introduced to control the passband bandwidth so that the passband bandwidth can be maintained almost constant within the tuning range. The equivalent circuit and design equations are derived, and the optimum design is discussed. A 1.7 GHz, two-pole bandpass filter with a bandwidth of $4.5\%$ was constructed. The absolute passband bandwidth was maintained almost constant within more than 0.4 octave tuning range.

Scan Element Pattern(SEP) and Scan Impedance(SI) concepts are used to analyze the characteristics of open-ended waveguide array, which is the representative phased array antenna element in C-band and X-band. Transmit SEP's are calculated for 15$\sim$15 subarray and SI's are obtained by applying periodic boundary conditions for a unit cell of the given array condition. CST's MWS and Ansoft's HFSS are utilized for each analysis. Some relations are reviewed between the two results, which are based on mutual coupling effects. For validation purpose, an 8$\sim$8 subarray is constructed and tested. Transmit SEP measured in MTG's far-field range shows good agreement with the calculated transmit SEP.

Radio interference has been occurring in mobile communication services on the southern seashore in Korea. Monitoring the radio interference signal revealed that the main reason for the radio interference was a radio ducting signal coming from the seaside of Japan. In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of interference on WiMAX service using a 2.5 GHz frequency band between Korea and Japan. We focus on the interference scenario from base station to base station and we use the Minimum Coupling Loss (MCL) method for interference analysis and the Advanced Propagation Model (APM) for calculating the propagation loss in ducts. The propagation model is also compared with experimental measurement data. We confirm that the interfering signal strength depends on the antenna height and this result can be applied to deployment planning for each system with an interference impact acceptable to both parties.
