In electromagnetic coupled resonance(ECR) WPT system, the main key for wireless power transmission is the design method of the ECR coils. The ECR coils is classified to the helical coil(3D) type and the spiral coil(2D) type as a coil structure. The pattern of the spiral coil type has been studied in favor of commercialization. In this paper, the design characteristics of the helical coil and the spiral coil is considered using a Vector Network Analyzer. It is analyzed according to the distance of coupling coefficient between the ECR coils. Also, It is analyzed for the relationships such as the maximum transmission efficiency and the resonant frequency depending on the distance between the coils.

The need for high-frequency decoupling capacitors to supply the transient current requirements to high-speed devices is ubiquitous in current microelectronics applications. Even though materials and their processes have already been developed in terms of their performances, low manufacturing cost cannot be overemphasized in current microelectronics industry. For this reason, we revisited low cost ceramic filled polymer integrated capacitor. Experiments were performed according to the design of experiment (DOE). The best recipe that has the optimized ratio of material composite was obtained using by response optimizer in Minitab. And also, high-frequency measurements were performed to get frequency dependent data using network analyzer.

Scour is one of the leading causes of overwater bridge failures worldwide. While monitoring systems have already been implemented or are still being developed, they suffer from limitations such as high costs, inaccuracies, and low reliability, among others. Also, most sensors only measure scour depth at one location and near the pier. Thus, the objective is to design a simple, low cost, scour hole topography monitoring system that could better characterize the entire depth, shape, and size of bridge scour holes. The design is based on burying a robust, waterproofed, piezoelectric sensor strip in the streambed. When scour erodes sediments to expose the sensor, flowing water excites it to cause the generation of time-varying voltage signals. An algorithm then takes the time-domain data and maps it to the frequency-domain for identifying the sensor's resonant frequency, which is used for calculating the exposed sensor length or scour depth. Here, three different sets of tests were conducted to validate this new technique. First, a single sensor was tested in ambient air, and its exposed length was varied. Upon verifying the sensing concept, a waterproofed prototype was buried in soil and tested in a tank filled with water. Sensor performance was characterized as soil was manually eroded away, which simulated various scour depths. The results confirmed that sensor resonant frequencies decreased with increasing scour depths. Finally, a network of 11 sensors was configured to form a distributed monitoring system in the lab. Their exposed lengths were adjusted to simulate scour hole formation and evolution. Results showed promise that the proposed sensing system could be scaled up and used for bridge scour topography monitoring.

This paper introduces the reduction design technique of the resonance phenomenon of the inner PCB based on power integrity from the analysis about the inner power supply line generating RLC resonance. With the technique, the resonant frequency resulted from the structural characteristics of the PCB can be analyzed and allows to predict and the capacitor for resonance phenomenon reduction can be decided as a decoupling capacitor. From the simulation result, it was confirmed that the PCB's resonance phenomenon reduction design technique should have the reduction effect in the inner motherboard of the industrial controller. This research will be contributed to the improvement of the safety of a PDN (Power Delivery Network) structure in the layout design technique of the PCB.

The impedance matching network with the simplfied real frequency technique (SRFT) is proposed as a method for bandwidth enhancement of microstrip antenna. The validity of the technique is based on the relative frequency insensitivity of the radiation pattern and gain characteristics as compared to the resonant behaviour of the input impedance. The most significant feature of this technique is that there is no need to find any analytical description of the antenna and generator, and it only utilizes directly real frequency generator and load data over the prescribed frequency band. Furthermore, it is not necessary to invent an analytic form of the system transfer function to assume a matching network topology in advance. In this paper, the transmission line model is used to investigate the rectangular microstrip antenna, and based on the Fano's bandwidth-enlargement theory, the SRFT is introduced to design the matching networks of microstrip antennas in order to obtain a constant gain over the frequency band of interest. Two representative microstrip antnnas with different structure are fabricated and tested. From these procedures, it is obtained that the proposed impedance matching networks of microstrip antenna improve the impedance bandwidth nearly three times compared to the antenna without them.

A novel design of a simple circular ring with open-ended monopole antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed in this article. The proposed antenna consists of an open-ended circular ring and $50-{\Omega}$ microstrip feed-line. The proposed antenna is capable of generating two separate resonant modes with good impedance-matching conditions. A prototype of the proposed antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured. Acceptable agreement between the measurement and simulation results is achieved. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna has operating bandwidths of 1.99-3.04 GHz and 5.08-6.1 GHz with a return loss of less than -10 dB, covering the required bandwidths of the 2.4/5.2/5.8-GHz WLAN standards. This is a microstrip antenna for IEEE 802.11a/b wireless local area networks applications. Meanwhile, the two-dimensional (2D) radiation patterns and three-dimensional (3D) gain performance of the antenna are also observed and discussed.

In this paper, 2.4GHz WLAN BPF(Band Pass Filter) which has two DGS(Defected Ground Structure) unit cells was simulated and manufactured. To do this, a unit DGS resonator with resonant frequency is designed. Then the BPF for WLAN with the center frequency of 2.4GHz md the bandwidth of 200MHz is designed using two DGS resonator, finally this circuit is fabricated. We also proposed the equivalent circuit of the BPF employing two DGS resonator. The BPF with DGS was obtained experimental results with network analyzer Agilent 8510C. The measured result shows good agreement with simulated data. Experimental results show the center frequency of 2.45GHz, the insertion loss of 1.08dB, and the 3-dB bandwidth of 470MHz(19.5%). Acceding to the measured values, it is found that the fabricated DGS BPF is available for wireless LAN.
