In this paper, for Broadband Wireles LAN dual-band antenna was designed to satisfy the bandwidth of 2.32GHz and 5.79GHz. the substrate of proposed microstrip antenna is FR-4(er=4.3) and $34mm{\times}50mm{\times}1.5mm$ size and thickness t=0.035mm, and the simulation was used for CST Microwave Studio 2014. input return loss compared -10dB less than operates at and when gain 2.32GHz -19.321dB, 5.79GHz showed the results of -13.033dB. It increased impedance matching, minimized interference between adjacent frequencies, simplified small manufacturing methods, and demonstrated the characteristics of non-directional properties. Thus the proposed antenna satisfied the -10 dB impedancebandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the Broadband Wireless LAN.

In this paper, we propose a broadband TEM horn antenna optimized using a genetic algorithm. The characteristics required for the TEM horn are the broad matching bandwidth from 2 GHz to 10 GHz and high gain in broadside with a small gain deviation within that bandwidth. In addition, a broadband balun is designed to improve the portability and to reduce the total size of the antenna. The measured return loss of the proposed TEM horn with the broadband balun is less than -10 dB(VSWR<2) from 2 GHz to 10 GHz. Compared to a conventional triangular type TEM horn, the proposed antenna shows about 80 % reduced volume and gives the broadside gain about 12 dBi with a gain deviation less than 6 dB from 2 GHz to 10 GHz. The time domain measurement shows less than 0.4 ns group delay and the pulse measurement using the transmitting signal with the rising time of 58.5 ps shows the received pulse with the rising time of 66.5 ps, which is less than 10 % rising time variation.

The compact dipole antenna elements and array structure is proposed. The array structure is designed for applicator in regional hyperthermia treatment to enhance the uniformity of the heat distribution which makes the treatment effective and prevents overheating. The compact dipole is designed with branched dipole and matching network to have small size and symmetric shape. The temperature simulation with specific absorption rate(SAR) and bio-heat equation is performed to have heat distribution. The applicator is designed, fabricated, and measured with multi-channel thermometer in 30 and 60 minutes. The simulation and measurement results showed agreement and the simulation in body circumstance has proper temperature result for hyperthermia therapy.

In this paper, we propose a novel global navigation satellite system (GNSS) spoofing detection technique through an array antenna-based direction of arrival (DoA) estimation of satellite and spoofer. Specifically, we consider a sophisticated GNSS spoofing attack scenario where the spoofer can accurately mimic the multiple pseudo-random number (PRN) signals since the spoofer has its own GNSS receiver and knows the location of the target receiver in advance. The target GNSS receiver precisely estimates the DoA of all PRN signals using compressed sensing-based orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) even with a small number of samples, and it performs spoofing detection from the DoA estimation results of all PRN signals. In addition, considering the initial situation of a sophisticated spoofing attack scenario, we designed the algorithm to have high spoofing detection performance regardless of the relative spoofing signal power. Therefore, we do not consider the assumption in which the power of the spoofing signal is about 3 dB greater than that of the authentic signal. Then, we introduce design parameters to get high true detection probability and low false alarm probability in tandem by considering the condition for the presence of signal sources and the proximity of the DoA between authentic signals. Through computer simulations, we compare the DoA estimation performance between the conventional signal direction estimation method and the OMP algorithm in few samples. Finally, we show in the sophisticated spoofing attack scenario that the proposed spoofing detection technique using OMP-based estimated DoA of all PRN signals outperforms the conventional spoofing detection scheme in terms of true detection and false alarm probability.

In this paper, we present the design of Schottky diodes and voltage multiplier for UHF-band passive RFID applications. The Schottky diodes were fabricated using Titanium (Ti/Al/Ta/Al)-Silicon (n-type) junction in $0.35\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The Schottky diode having $4{\times}10{\times}10\;{\mu}m^{2}$ contact area showed a turn-on voltage of about 150 mV for the forward diode current of $20\;{\mu}A$. The breakdown voltage is about -9 V, which provides sufficient peak inverse voltage necessary for the voltage multiplier in the RFID tag chip. The effect of the size of Schottky diode on the turn-on voltage and the input impedance at 900 MHz was investigated using small-signal equivalent model. Also, the effect or qualify factor of the diode on the input voltage to the tag chip is examined, which indicates that high qualify factor Schottky diode is desirable to minimize loss. The fabricated voltage multiplier resulted in a output voltage of more than 1.3 V for the input RF signal of 200mV, which is suitable for long-range RFID applications.
