A wideband stacked patch antenna with parasitic elements, rectangular and triangle shaped patches, is proposed. Two different shaped parasitic elements are placed in the above of main rectangular microstrip patch antenna in order to achieve wide bandwidth for 860 MHz band. Coupling between the main patch and parasitic patches is realized by thick air gap. The gap and locations of parasitic patches are found to be the main factor of the wideband impedance matching. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on a ground plane with small size of $119mm{\times}109mm$ for application of compact transceivers. The fabricated antenna on an FR4 substrate shows that the minimum measured return loss is below -11.68dB at 824 MHz and an impedance band of 818~919 MHz(11.7%) at 10dB return loss level. The measured radiation patterns are similar to those of a conventional patch antenna with maximum gain of 2.11 dBi at 824 MHz.

In this paper, we present novel dual-band microstrip antennas using inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements vertically at radiation apertures for GPS L1(1.575 GHz) and L2(1.227 GHz) bands. For making dual band which has large interval, the inverted-L-shaped parasitic element was loaded at the radiation aperture of a half-wavelength patch antenna(GPS L1) in opposite direction of the feeding point for receiving the low frequency(GPS L2). The low frequency occurs by perturbation and coupling between the patch and parasitic. Next, due to use circular polarizations at the GPS applications, two inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements were loaded at radiation apertures of each polarizations and the feeding point was moved at diagonal part of the patch. The dimensions of the designed circularly polarized antenna were $88.5{\times}79{\times}10.4mm^3$ ($0.36{\lambda}L{\times}0.32{\lambda}L{\times}0.04{\lambda}L$, ${\lambda}L$ is the free-space wavelength at 1.227 GHz). Measured -10 dB bandwidths were 116.3 MHz(7.4%) and 64.3 MHz(5.2%) at GPS L1 and L2 bands, respectively. All of these cover the respective required system bandwidths. The measured 3 dB axial ratio bandwidths were 11.7 MHz(0.74%) and 14 MHz(1.14%), respectively. Within each of the designed bands, broadside radiation patterns were observed.

Piezoelectric elements driven ultra-precision stages have been used for high accuracy, fast response and high load rapacity. which are allowable to apply the stages to AFMs. Most of the piezoelectric driven stages are guided by flexure hinges for force transmission and mechanical amplification. However the flexure hinge mechanisms cause lack of position accuracy due to coupled and parasitic motions. Hence it is important that the mechanism design of the stage is focused on the stiffness of the flexure hinges to accomplish fast response and hish accuracy without the coupled and parasitic motions. In this study, some constraints for optimal design of a piezoelectric elements driven stage and a design method are proposed. Next, an optimal design is carried out using mathematical calculation. Finally the designed results are verified by FEM.

For WLAN dual-band operation, a modified Yagi dipole antenna is presented. The modified dipole antenna consists of a dipole antenna with open sleeves and parasitic elements. The parasitic elements are used for the practical application of the radiation patterns and high-gain operation at the WLAN dual band. The experimental results showed that the achieved impedance bandwidths were 320 MHz (2.4 to 2.72 GHz) and 640 MHz (5.04 to 5.68 GHz), respectively. The measured maximum gain at the two WLAN bands was 7.74 dBi and 6.93 dBi, respectively.

We propose a slot antenna consisting of a rectangular slot on the ground plane, fed by a microstrip line with a rectangular-ring-shaped tuning stub that can be deployed in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems to avoid interference with wireless local area network (WLAN) communication. Our antenna can achieve a single band-notched property from the 5 GHz frequency to the 6 GHz frequency owing to a controllable band notch that uses L- and J-shaped parasitic elements. The antenna characteristics can be modified to tune the band-notched property (4 GHz to 5 GHz or 6 GHz to 7 GHz) and the bandwidth of the band notch (1 GHz to 2 GHz). Furthermore, the shifted notch with enhanced width of the band notch from 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz is described in this paper. The UWB slot antenna and L- and J-shaped parasitic elements also provide the band-rejection function for reference in the WiMAX (3.5 GHz) and WLAN (5 GHz to 6 GHz) regions of the spectrum. Experiment results evidence the return loss performance, radiation patterns, and antenna gains at different operational frequencies.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of an electronically rotated Tactical Air Navigation(TACAN) antenna using parasitic elements and PIN diode switches. We used parasitic elements arranged in a circular array and PIN diode switches to electronically rotate the antenna instead of employing a mechanically rotated antenna using motor. The antenna's physical characteristics and design features to generate the cardioid pattern and nine-lobe pattern including bearing information are described and simulated. The measured result shows a very good agreement with simulation and meets the specification of MIL-STD-291C.

This paper presents a filter design technique with the embedded passive elements using the low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) process. For the high performance and size reduction, the parasitic elements of the proposed multi-layer structure are positively considered by using the proposed circuit transformation procedures. As a result, the compact low ass filter (LPF) not only has at least 50% more compact thickness than other reported compact structures, but also provides ideal LPF response between 0.5GHz and 5GHz.

Recently, there have been efforts to construct hybrids among the existing methodologies for multiphase flow such as VOF, Level Set, and Front Tracking with the intention of facilitating simulations of general three-dimensional problems. As one of the hybrid method, we have developed the Level Contour Reconstruction Method (LCRM) for general three-dimensional multiphase flows including phase change. The main idea was focused on simplicity and a robust algorithm especially for the three-dimensional case. It combines characteristics of both Front Tracking and Level Set methods. While retaining an explicitly tracked interface using interfacial elements, the calculation of a vector distance function plays a crucial role in the periodic reconstruction of the interface elements in the LCRM method to maintain excellent mass conservation and interface fidelity. In addition, compact curvature formulation is incorporated for the calculation of the surface tension force thereby reducing parasitic currents to a negligible level.

In this paper, a triple-band planar antenna is proposed for the application to miniaturized automobile safety devices operating at X band(10.5 ㎓), K band(24.15 ㎓), and Ka band(34.3 ㎓). The frequency ratio between the resonant frequencies of this antenna can be adjusted from 1.99 to 2.23 for both X band and K band by varying its slit length. Parasitic elements are added on the modified slot loaded antenna to obtain the third resonance. From numerical as well as experimental results, it has been confirmed that this type of antenna is appropriate for planar multi-band antenna systems.

In this work, process optimization techniques for high frequency performance of HBTs are presented. The techniques are focused on reducing parasitic base resistance and base-collector capacitance, which are key elements determining the high frequency characteristics of HBTs. Several fabrication techniques, which can significantly reduce the parasitic elements of the HBTs for improved high frequency performance, are proposed and verified by the measured data of the fabricated devices.
