The electromagnetic characteristics of FCEVs (fuel cell electric vehicles) are much different from the existing combustion engine cars as well as hybrid, plug-in-hybrid, and pure electric vehicles due to the high voltage/current generated by a fuel cell stack which uses a compressed hydrogen gas reacted with oxygen. To operate fuel cell stack efficiently, BOP (Balance of Plant) which is consisted of many motors in water pump, air blower, and hydrogen recycling pump as well as inverters for these motors is essential. Furthermore, there are also electric systems for entertainment, information, and vehicle control such as navigation, broadcasting, vehicle dynamic control systems, and so on. Since these systems are connected by high voltage or general cables, EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) analysis for high voltage and general cable of FCEV is the most important element to prevent the possible electric functional safety errors. In this paper, electromagnetic fields by high voltage and general cables for FCEVs is studied. From numerical analysis results, total time harmonic electromagnetic field strength from high voltage and general cables have difference of 13~16 dB due to ground effect by impedance matching. The EMI results of FECV at 10 m distance shows difference of 41 dB at 30 MHz and 54 dB at 230 MHz compared with only general cable routing.

This paper proposed a novel broadband PIFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) for IMT-2000/WLAN/DMB terminal. Two branch lines for meander line were utilized in order to improve the characteristics of PIFA which usually has a narrow band. The shorting strip between the ground plane and meander-type radiation elements were used in order to minimize the size of the antenna. The -10 dB return loss bandwidth of a realized antenna was $38.2{\%}$(1.84~2.71 GHz), which contains the broadband bandwidth with triple band. And the simulated and measured values of 1 g and 10 g averaged peak SAR on human head caused by the triple band PIFA mounted on folder-type handsets were analyzed and discussed. As a result, the measured 1 g and 10 g averaged peak SARs of PIFA were similar with the simulated values and were lower than the 1.6 W/kg and 2 W/kg of 1 g and 10 g averaged peak SAR limits.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatment and extraction methods on the water extraction yields of sugar, protein and phenolic compounds, and the antioxidative activity of extract from Ganoderma lucidum. The herb was ground, sifted, and treated for 10 min with microwave (2,450 MHz) and ultrasound (20 kHz), and then extracted by boiling underatmospheric pressure and pressured boiling. Particle size $(0.8\~2.4\;mm)$, extraction time (2 hr) and solvent/solid ratio (20:1) were selected as optimal conditions for extraction.. Microwave and ultrasound treatment increased the extraction yields of total sugar, protein and phenolic compounds and the radical scavenging activity of extract. In comparison with microwave treatment and ultrasound treatment, microwave treatment was more effective than that of ultrasound treatment. The yields of all three compounds and the radical scavenging activity of extract were higher in pressured boiling extraction than in boiling underatmospheric pressure. The results showed that microwave radiation and sonication prior to extraction, and pressured extraction could be utilized for improving the extraction efficiency of G. lucidum.

A comparative study of pretreatment and extraction methods was conducted to investigate their effects on nutritional and bioactive components during hot-water extraction of Acanthopanax senticosus. The herb samples, ground and sifted $(8\~20\;mesh)$ were pretreated with ultrasound (20 kHz), microwave (2,450 MHz) or roasting $(180^{\circ}C)$ for 10 min, and then extracted by a boiling $(180^{\circ}C)$ under atmospheric pressure or a pressured boiling $(121^{\circ}C)$ for 2 hr. In general, the pretreatments improved the extraction efficiency and the DPPH radical scavenging activity of extract. Particularly, the extraction yields of soluble solids, total sugar and phenolic compounds were increased in microwaving methods, and the protein yield and the radical scavenging activity were higher in roosting pretreatment. Yields of soluble solids, total sugar, protein and phenolic compouds in pressured extraction were higher than those in nonpressured extraction. These results suggested that pretreatment including microwave radiation, sonication and roasting and pressured extraction can be utilized for improving the extraction efficiency of A. senticosus.

In this paper, a wideband two-layer H-shaped microstrip antenna for WLAN is designed. To increase the bandwidth of microstrip patch antenna a configuration of stacked type using parastic element is used. Furthermore, to reduce the size of microstrip patch antenna, two techniques are employed . the first one is H-shaped patch type and the second one is that the main radiator and parastic patch are shorted to the ground plane using ten shorting posts. The antenna bandwidth and radiation characteristics are calculated by ENSEMBLE ver. 5.0 simulation software, and compared with the experimental results. Experiment results show that the bandwidth of antenna in 740MHz centered at 5.46㎓(13.5%), which is close agreement with the calculations, 770MHz(13%). Also, the antenna size can be reduced by 71.5% compared with the half wavelength rectangular microstrip antenna using the same substrate at the same frequency.

In this paper, we proposed the internal antenna on PCB(Planar Circuit Board) for achieving WWAN(Wireless Wide Area Network) operation in the laptop computer. The proposed antenna has a metal structure instead of printed pattern on PCB to improve the antenna characteristics for GSM850/900 bands. Compared to PCB embedded antenna without metal structure, the proposed antenna occupies similar area of $74{\times}11{\times}0.5\;mm^3$ with before and the bandwidth of the proposed one for GSM850/900 bands is increased 13 MHz than before. Further we confirmed that the proposed antenna has higher radiation gain of -4.45~-2.29 dBi for GSM850/900 bands than PCB embedded antenna without metal structure.

In recent years, the urban thermal environment has become worse, such as days on which the temperature goes above $30^{\circ}C$, sultry nights and heat stroke increase, due to the changes in terrestrial cover such as concrete and asphalt and increased anthropogenic heat emission accompanied by artificial structure. The land use type is an important determinant to near-surface air temperature. Due to these reasons we need to understand and improve the urban thermal environment. In this study, the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model(MMS) was applied to the metropolitan of Daegu area in order to investigate the influence of land cover changes and urban modifications increase of Albedo to the surface energy budget on the simulated near-surface air temperature and wind speed. The single urban category in existing 24-category U.S. Geological survey land cover classification used in MM5 was divided into 6 classes to account for heterogeneity of urban land cover. As a result of the numerical simulation intended for the metropolitan of Daegu assumed the increase of Albedo of roofs, buildings, or roads, the increase of Albedo (Cool scenario)can make decrease radiation effect of surface, so that it caused drops in ambient air temperature from 0.2 to 0.3 on the average during the daylight hours and smaller (or near-zero) decrease during the night. The Sensible heat flux and Wind velocity is decreased. Modeling studies suggest that increased surface albedo in urban area can reduce surface and air temperatures near the ground and affect related meteorological parameters such as winds, surface air temperature and sensible heat flux.
