T-모양의 급전구조를 갖는 마이크로스트립 슬롯 안테나는 정합을 쉽게 이룰 수 있고, 대역 폭이 기존의 슬롯을 가로지르는 급전구조에 비하여 넓었다. 본 논문에서는 역 L-형 마이크로스트립 급전구조를 제안하여 FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain)법으로 해석하여 안테나를 최적화 설계하였다. 슬롯 폭이 16 mm일 때, 전압 정재파비가 2.0 이하인 조건에서 대역폭은 2.3 GHz를 중심으로 약 48 % 정도의 광대역 특성을 얻었다. 제안된 급전구조는 기존의 슬롯 가로지르는 급전구조의 복사 저항보다 매우 낮았다. 또한 역 L-형 급전구조의 대역폭 특성을 기존의 급전구조의 슬롯릇 안테나들과 비교하였다.

Proximity-coupled open-end microstrip interconnections in bilevel planar structures are investigated through three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain(3D-FDTD) method. Three types of EMC (electromagnetically coupled) microstriplines are considered, collinear lines, transverse lines and modified EMC structure. From the analyzed results, it is found that these EMC interconnections have the coupling coefficient enough to interconnect lines in bilevel structures over a broad-band. The computed results of the modified EMC structure was compared with measurement from physical model and the computed results of via hole interconnection.

An anatomical head and a multi-layered spherical head with a half-wave handset antenna have been analysed and compared using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) and the Eigenfuntion Expansion Method (EEM), respectively. The analysis shows that results from a simple spherical head with a half-wave antenna can be used to predict the main antenna radiation patters as well as estimates of the peak SAR in a handset user's head. Various representative design data are presented using a six-layered spherical head with a half-wave antenna at 900 MHz

지하 탐사용 레이더를 이용하여 지하에 매설된 구조물의 위치를 파악하고 그에 따른 근사 이미지의 추출 방법을 제안하였다. 기본원리는 구조물에 의해 산란되어 수신 안테나로 유입되는 펄스신호의 지연시간과 크기를 측정하는 데 있으며, 측정의 실용성을 위하여 레이더 탐색경로에 따른 수신신호의 절대치 적분 방법을 사용하였다. 일반적으로 지하매질은 침투 주파수에 따라서 다양한 분산 및 손실 특성을 나타내는데, 이러한 매질 특성은 다항 Debye 모델을 이용하여 기술되었다. 3차원 전파(電波) 전파(傳播)를 위한 시뮬레이션에는 FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain) 방법을 사용하였다.

We have developed an finite-difference time-domain program that can analyze photonic devices with gain and/or dispersion. As an example, a two-dimensional photonic-crystal laser is simulated. The simulation can show the relaxation oscillation behavior at extremely high current injection.

A general characterization procedure based on the extraction of a 2n-port admittance matrix corresponding to n uniform coupled lines on the multi-layered substrate using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique is presented. In this paper, the frequency-dependent normal mode parameters are obtained from the 2n-port admittance matrix to analyze multi-layered asymmetric coupled line structure, which in turn provides the frequency-dependent propagation constant, effective dielectric constant, and line-mode characteristic impedances. To illustrate the technique, several practical coupled line structures on multi-layered substrate have been simulated. Especially, embedded conductor structures have been simulated. Comparisons with Spectral Domain Method are given, and their results agree well. It is shown that the FDTD based time domain characterization procedure is an excellent broadband simulation tool for the design of multiconductor coupled lines on multilayered PCBs as well as thick or thin hybrid structures.

Papers on improvement of electromagnetic field uniformity in a reverberation chamber with 1D Quadratic Residue Diffuser of Schroeder method has been published several times. In this paper, to obtain improved electromagnetic field characteristics and field uniformity in a reverberation chamber, cubical residue diffuser sets of Schroeder type are designed for a chamber in $2.3\;\cal{GHz}\~3\;\cal{GHz}$. The FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) technique is used to analyze the field characteristics in a chamber. Cubical residue algorithm and 2D arrangement show more randomness than the previous study results. The characteristics of tolerance, polarity, deviations, as well as power efficency, are improved with cubical residue diffuser sets in a chamber.

The three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the two-dimensional quasi-static formulation have been used to calculate the characteristic impedance and the microwave effective index of coplanar waveguide structures on Lithium Niobate ($LiNBO_3$) single crystal substrates with a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) or $SiO_2$ buffer layer. The results shown can be a good source to predict the modulator characteristics. The effects of the thin buffer layer and anisotropy of the $LiNBO_3$ crystal (x-cut and z-cut) are discussed. The comparison between the FDTD and quasi-static results shows good agreement. In this paper, the efficient modeling technique of the FDTD method for the coplanar waveguide (CPW) structures based on an anisotropic substrate with a thin buffer layer is developed.

The near field radiated from the monopole antenna of the cellular phone was calculated by using the modified finite difference time domain algorithm derived from the integral form of Maxwell's equations. Substituting the near field value into the differential form of Maxwell's equations, SAR's distribution in the human head was obtained. The human head was simulated by a model of 800,000 block cells with dielectric constant and conductivity. The cell size was taken to be 0.5 cm. the transmitted power of the cellular phone was assumed to be 0.6 watts at the frequency of 833 MHz. The distance between the head and the cellular phone was 2.0 cm, the maximum SAR induced in the human head was about 1.5 W/kg and was below the IEEE's upper safety limit of 1.6 W/kg.

In this paper, characteristics of the electromagnetically coupled broadband microstrip antennas are analyzed by the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, and antenna para- meters are optimized to get maximum bnadwidth. By using short radial tuning stub in microstrip feedline, electromagnetically coupled microstrip antenna shows broadband ($\simeq$13%) characteristics, and the characteristics are varied as a function of radius, radial angle, and position of the radial tuning stub. Operating frequency, return loss, VSWR and input impedance are calculated by Fourier transforming the time domain results. After optimization of the parameters, maximum bandwidth of the radial stub tuning microstrip antenna is about 15% and the ripple char- acteristic of the VSWR is better than the rectangular tuning stub microstrip antenna.
