This paper presents a unique and miniaturized dual-band coplanar waveguide (CPW-fed) antenna for modern wireless communication. A new technique of using a modified ground structure (MGS) and frequency shifting strips (FSS) has been employed in the design to achieve dual-frequency operation. The proposed antenna generates two separate impedance bandwidths and covers the minimum required frequency bands of GSM 1800, GSM 1900, and Wi-Fi/WLAN 5 GHz. The proposed antenna is relatively small ($17{\times}20mm^2$) and operates over frequency ranges 1.51~2.06 and 4.43~6.70 GHz. The designed antenna was simulated using Ansoft HFSS, a FEM based simulator, and antenna characteristics, such as reflection coefficient, gain, radiation efficiency, radiation pattern, impedance bandwidth, VSWR, surface current, and electric field distributions, are reported in this paper. The effect of the antenna's key structural parameters on its performance is also analyzed.

Tungsten (W) is recently gaining attention as a potential candidate to replace Cu in semiconductor metallization due to its expected improvement in material reliability and reduced resistivity size effect. In this study, the impact of electron scattering at grain boundaries in a polycrystalline W thin film was investigated. Two nominally 300 nm-thick films, a (110)-oriented single crystal film and a (110)-textured polycrystalline W film, were prepared onto (11-20) Al2O3 substrate and thermally oxidized Si substrate, respectively in identical fabrication conditions. The lateral grain size for the polycrystalline film was determined to be $119{\pm}7nm$ by TEM-based orientation mapping technique. The film thickness was chosen to significantly exceed the electron mean free path in W (16.1 and 77.7 nm at 293 and 4.2 K, respectively), which allows the impact of surface scattering on film resistivity to be negligible. Then, the difference in the resistivity of the two films can be attributed to grain boundary scattering. quantitative analyses were performed by employing the Mayadas-Shatzkes (MS) model, where the grain boundary reflection coefficient was determined to be $0.42{\pm}0.02$ and $0.40{\pm}0.02$ at 293 K and 4.2 K, respectively.

Laser Transmission Joining (LTJ) of plastics is a process in which light of suitable wavelength is transmitted through a transparent substrate that is in contact with an absorbing one. In this paper, LTJ is investigated by preliminary experiments from the viewpoint of mechanical engineering. To understand transmitting characteristics of each polymer substrate, transmission rate, reflection rate and absorption coefficient of polymer are measured by using a laser power-meter. Characteristics of joining in the spot welding and seam welding are investigated by measuring the fracture load. Fracture load increases in accordance to the laser power and irradiation time. However, when the laser power is over 60W and irradiation time over 4seconds, fracture load decreases. This phenomenon is probably due to heat-softening of materials. Besides, cavities are generated at a joint by evaporation of water molecules, which can be suppressed by introduction of a gap between two substrates.

In this paper the propagation problems of waves nomally incident upon an anisotropic medium with arbitrary permittivity tensors are analyzed through the variational finite element method. First, a variational equation is derived from the new approach basd on the induction theorm, reactions, and reciprocity. Next, by using the finite element method, the propagation problems are solved from the obtained functional. Specially, the reflection and transmission coefficient and axis ratio are obtained on the case of normally incident upon a homogeneous and inhomogeneous anisotropic medium such as cold mgnetoplasma slab and showed agreement with those of the previous method.

In this paper, we fabricated sheet-type EM wave absorbers for mobile phones by using sendusts and tested EM wave absorption of it. The band-width of EM wave absorbers coated with $Al_2O_3$ were larger than non-coated EM wave absorbers. Particle size decreased with increasing milling time, which made the result of increasing of EM wave absorption. The fabricated EM wave absorbers show a reflection coefficient 17.4 dB at 946 MHz for a 4 mm sample and 5 dB at 1.8 GHz for a 1 mm sample.

In this study, an efficient method of designing laminate composite radar absorbing structures (RAS) is proposed with consideration given to the structural shape so as to improve aircraft stealth performance. The calculation of the radar cross section (RCS) should be decreased to enhance the efficiency of the stochastic optimization when designing an RAS. In the proposed method, RAS are optimized to match up the input impedance of the minimal RCS, which is obtained by using physical optics and the transmission line theory. Single and double layer dielectric RAS for aircraft wings are employed as numerical examples and designed using the proposed method, RCS minimization and reflection coefficient minimization. The availability of the proposed method is assessed by comparing the similarity of the results and computation time with other design methods. According to the results, the proposed method produces the same results as the stochastic optimization, which adopts the RCS as the objective function, and can improve RAS design efficiency by reducing the number of RCS analyses.

Generally, it is very important to study selective coupling between cavities of the filter structure using multimode cavity resonator. In this paper, we have manufactured 5-pole bandpass filter(BPF) using dual and triple-mode cavity resonator. To do so, we have derived the formulas for coupling coefficient about coupling between TE-modes from TM/TE-mode's tangential and lognitudinal field intensities each other. To implement the Chebyshev response, the intercabity slot combining dual-mode and triple-mode is designed to couple one H-field of TE-mode parallel to slot plate. In this paper, specially it is derived the formulas for T $E_{11p}$-mode from TE-modes, and determined after obtaining location and size of intercabity slot from the equation. In this ppaer, based on this result, we designed and implmented teh bandpass filter operated at the center frequency of 14.5GHz with a Chebyshev response. For the manufactured cavity filter, dual-mode and triple-mode cavity are resonted by two orthogonal T $E_{113}$-modes, and by two orthogonal T $E_{113}$-modes and one T $M_{012}$-mode, respecitively. The 2-stage 5-pole BPF proposed in this paper has the insertion loss of -2.32dB, the reflection loss of -15dB in the passband, and the out-or-rejection of -67dB.

In this paper, we applied mode matching and generalized scattering matrix methods to three plane mode matching method for analyzing T-junctions. We calculated all scattering matrix elements by only three times and considered several incident modes. By proposed analysis method, we could analyze various waveguide discontinuity structures more conveniently and accurately. Using the stepped T-junction, we would be able to reduce the reflection coefficient at an input port and use it over wider band. Simulated and HFSS data of T-junctions are compared, showing good agreement for scattering matrix elements. Considering step numbers, height, length and position, we extracted for optimum dimensions and equivalent circuit parameters.

In this paper, a design method for a ultra-wideband printed semi-circular-shaped dipole antenna operating in the band of 1-15 GHz is studied. The effects of the gap between the two arms of the semi-circular-shaped dipole and the radius of the semi-circle on the input reflection coefficient and gain characteristics are examined to obtain the optimal design parameters. The optimized printed semi-circular-shaped dipole antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and the experimental results show that the antenna has a desired extremely wideband characteristic with a frequency band of 1-15 GHz (175%) for a VSWR < 2.

The multibeam surveillance radar is a state-of-art of 3D radar technology. It applies the stacked beams realized by a digital beamformer. In this paper, a hybrid compensation technique on elevation angle errors for low elevation angle targets over the sea in multipath radar environments is proposed. The proposed method can be applied to stacked beam radars. Double null algorithm based on maximum likelihood method in 3-D beamspace domain works well unless the phase difference between the two rays(direct and specular path) is close to $0^{\circ}$ and the magnitude of reflection coefficient is close to 0. To overcome these problems, we propose a hybrid compensation technique which uses the selective double null algorithm and the beam-ratio compensation technique for low-elevation errors on a log scale. Results of computer simulation show that the proposed method outperform conventional monopulse method and double null algorithm only under various multipath environments.
