This paper proposes an FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) design system that automatically derives design parameters minimally specified by engineers. The proposed system derives optimal design parameters through theory of electromagnetic scattering on FSS, database implemented from real data obtained from practically manufactured FSS, and GA(Genetic Algorithm) for optimizing design parameters. The system, at the first step, searches the best matching FSS within preconstructed DB with given characteristics specified by operators, and then sets initial genes from the searched FSS parameters. GA iterates the optimization process until the system finds the FSS design parameters that matches the characteristics specified by operators. The theory for the electromagnetic scattering on FSS is verified by comparing the simulation results with real data obtained by measuring system composed of horn antenna and receiver. The process for manufacturing the FSS is also included in the paper.

This paper proposes the efficient system for automatic design of FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) with periodic pattern and frequency characteristics specified by operator. The proposed system derives optimal design parameters through tool for analysis of FSS with arbitrary pattern, DB(Data Base) implemented from limited simulation and measurement data of FSS, and GA(Genetic Algorithm) for optimizing design parameters. FSS analysis tool consists of two analysis tools. One is the simulator for analysis of monolayer FSS that using moment method, another is the tool with approximated analysis method of FSS with dielectric layer. Given pattern configuration and characteristics specified by operators, the DB system searches the best matching FSS, and provides initial genes to GA from the searched parameters, which drastically reduces running time of GA for finding the FSS design parameters. In this paper, the proposed design system is verified through simulation and measurement about FSS with various patterns.

It is difficult to analyze the impact of interference of NGSO/FSS systems on a GSO/FSS network because of time-varying nature of NGSO/FSS systems. In this paper, we present an efficient method to assess the impact of interference of NGSO/FSS satellite networks on the GSO/FSS carrier performances. The example analysis shows the impact on the GSO/FSS carrier performances in terms of elevation angles of earth stations in a GSO/FSS system.

ITU has considered the 3,400$\sim$4,200 MHz band, which is allocated worldwide on a primary basis to the FSS, as a candidate band for future development of IMT system. In this band, this paper presents the results of the sharing studies performed between FSS and IMT systems through the theoretical and simulation analysis on the interference from multiple IMT base stations into a receiving FSS earth station considering the interference mitigation techniques such as antenna tilt angle and 3 sectors on the IMT base station. By using the long-term and short-term interference threshold, the coordination areas for the FSS earth station are provided to share frequency in 3,400$\sim$4,200 MHz band between FSS earth station and multiple IMT base stations in future.

In this paper, we presented the paper-based reconfigurable frequency selective surface(FSS) for transmitting or blocking the wireless LAN signal in indoor environments. The proposed reconfigurable FSS are designed on coated paper using a printing of conductive ink and conductive adhesive for PIN diode, which provides ON/OFF of the reconfigurable FSS for passing or blocking the 5GHz signal. The reconfigurable FSS attached on the wall can pass or block the incident wireless signal as the received signal strength in indoor. To provide the validity of the proposed FSS, we fabricated the reconfigurable FSS on the paper and confirmed the very similar results between simulations and measurements. From the measured results of the proposed spectrum control system, we know that the proposed reconfigurable FSS can block about 20dB at 5.745GHz~5.805GHz.

Resolution 122 requires to study power limitation applicable for HAPS ground stations to facilitate sharing with space station receivers in 47/48GHz bands. ITU-R Recommendation 1481-1 recommends to improve the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antenna for frequency sharing between FSS system and HAPS system. In this paper, we propose the maximum allowable off-axis e.i.r.p. level of HAPS ground station antennas by considering power limitation to HAPS ground station in Resolution 122, and by improving the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antennas in Recommendation SF.1481-1. The simulation results show that the unfeasible sharing distance between HAPS ground station and FSS earth station can be reduced remarkably, and give the possibility of frequency sharing between two above systems.

Federal communications commissions (FCC) has announced the first set of rules for 3.5 GHz (3,550 - 3,700 MHz) band used Navy radar and fixed satellite service (FSS) earth stations as primary service to sharing for citizen broadband radio service (CBRS) enable development of relatively low powered network technologies like small cells. Since CBRS sharing technique based on the 3-tiered spectrum access system (SAS) is able to protect the higher tiered users from harmful interference from lower tiered users, it has been considered actively to be introduced in Korea. However, 3.5 GHz band had been already allocated to the 5G services in Korea, the sharing studies have been carried out for 3,700 - 5,000 MHz, As the result, the 3.8 GHz (3,800 - 3,900 MHz) band used for only FSS system is able to be sharing, and an introduction of CBRS has been proposed in Korea by analyzing the interference to the FSS earth stations.

Owing to the insufficient satellite resources such as frequency and orbit, the interest in the sharing of these resources has been increasing. ITU-R has been studying on the power limitation, the interference mitigation techniques etc. in order to facilitate the frequency sharing between different systems. Therefore, we studied on the interference mitigation techniques between HEO FSS system and GSO FSS network. We performed the simulation using four mitigation techniques and, based on the results of simulation, evaluated these techniques.

Spectrum sharing between wireless systems becomes a critical issue due to emerging new technologies and spectrum shortage. Recently, IMT system has been allocated in the same frequency C band (3400-4200MHz) along with FSS services on co-primary basis, which means that harmful interference probability may be inspired. In this paper, to estimate the spectrum sharing between IMT and FSS systems, the minimum separation distances have been evaluated considering major factors such as the clutter loss in some areas and the elevation angle of FSS earth station, and using I/N=-10dB which is fundamental criterion for coexistence.

In contrast to all-time flooded small modular reactor (SMR) systems, an in-kind flooding safety system (FSS) has been proposed as a passive safety system applicable to small modular reactors (SMRs) that adopt a metal containment vessel (MCV). Under transient conditions, the FSS can provide emergency cooling to dry reactor cavities and sustain long-term coolability using re-acquired evaporated steam in the reactor building on demand. When designing an FSS, the effect of the flooding flow area is vital as it affects the overall accident sequence and safety. Therefore, in this study, a MELCOR model of a reference SMR is developed and numerical analysis is performed under postulated accident scenarios. Without flooding, the MCV pressure of the reactor module exceeds the design pressure before core damage. To prevent core damage, an emergency flooding strategy is devised using various flow path parameters and requirements to ensure an adequate emergency coolant supply before the core damage is investigated. The results indicate that a flow area exceeding 0.02 m2 is required in the FSS to prevent MCV overpressure and core damage. This study is the first to report a strategic analysis for appropriately sizing an FSS flooding valve applicable to innovative SMRs.
