An ultra high frequency (UHF) coupler possessing ultra wide band (UWB) characteristics ranging from hundreds of MHz to several GHz is desirable for the detection of the partial discharge (PD) pulses because the pulses propagate with rise time shorter than one nanosecond in a gas-insulated substation (GIS). Thus, the authors have proposed a log-periodic antenna for GIS PD detection. Various parameters of the coupler such as frequency bandwidth, coupler gain, radiation pattern, and coupler geometry were considered throughout the simulations. The experiments for the detection characteristics of the coupler were carried out in the mock-up GIS chamber. The results indicated that the detection characteristics of the coupler are dependent on the installation angle of the coupler, the position of the coupler in the hand hole and the existence of the spacer.

If obstacle in GIS(Gas Insulted Switchgear), its affects are great are on the community and it is consequently demanded lots of difficulities to recover and repair. Accordingly, diagnosis techniques, that are able to prevent from accidents before they happen by providing more stable and highly reliable power effectively and finding sign of the accidents is very important. The strip-senser measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 0.5[GHz] to 2.5[GHz] with the stop band from 0.5[GHz] to 1.7[GHz] for VSWR<2. The antenna is will play an important role for the senser for insulation diagnosis system by UHF method of real site GIS and power equipment using $SF_6$ gas.

The study was conducted to analyze the tag reading and box recognition performance of a gate-type RFID system using the UHF band to detect containers of red pepper. The reading rate of tags attached to container boxes was higher as tags were closer to antennas and the number of antennas was increased. Under optimal conditions, the reading rate was 100% and the range of distance from a carton to an antenna was 1-4 meters. When tags were attached to two sides of a box, the reading rate was lower when the tags were attached at the front and side. This was caused by data collision problems between tags. The reading rate of tags was 71.1-77.8% and the reading rate of red pepper boxes was 97.8-100.0% when the distance between the pallet under the boxes and four units of antennas was 5 meters or less, and when tags were attached at the front and side of boxes.

In this paper, the forward link of UHF RFID system is modeled in accordance with the EPCglobal class 1 generation 2(EPCglobal C1G2) UHF Radio-Frequency Identity protocol specification at $860{\sim}960MHz$. Based on the constructed model, characteristics on the forward link signal for the EPCglobal C1G2 RFID reader are simulated with the help of a MATLAB softwarein order to extract the design parameters of a transmit digital filter which meets the Korean RFID regulations. Herein, the forward link model is consisted of PIE source coding, transmit digital filter, modulation, local oscillator, and antenna. From the simulation results, the ranges of three design parameters(roll-off factor, cutoff frequency, the number of tabs) for transmit digital filter are obtained with different modulation techniques and the Tari(type a reference interval) values. Finally, DSB/SSB-ASK modulation technique can not satisfy the EPCglobal C1G2 specification when Tari equals to $6.25{\mu}sec$ in a multiple-reader environment. Consequently this paper can provide a guideline for design parameters of a RFID reader as well as the basic scheme of analyzing frequency interference problems in RFID environments, including multiple-reader and dense-reader environments.

In this paper, we present a design of meander type microstrip patch antenna which has the best quality in RFID approved international standard of 910MHz broadband, usable in metal environment. In order to be fit into the commercial tag chip on the antenna, a square shaped feeder is installed on the main body as well as in the main body. In addition, a multi meander type patching element was designed in order to reduce the main body effectively. Three antennae, Cases 1, 2 and 3, were designed and compared in the areas of broad band width, effectiveness or recognition distance according to their sizes and number of folds. The measurement result of Case 3 was determined to be the best. It was confirmed that mostly the efficiency and characteristic gain change due to antenna size and number of folds in meander type influenced the antenna recognition distance.

In this paper, the power management module of wireless sensor node is designed and fabricated utilizing RF energy from reader antenna of commercial RFID system, which is mainly categorized in the energy harvesting. For this, the rectenna and the high efficient boost converter is designed to get the DC power from RF power for the charging the battery. When the RF power from RFID reader antenna is 1.2[W], the DC power of 3.1[mW] at the distance of 1[m] and 1[mW] at 5.5[m] are obtained. Considering the connection to the battery, the boost converter for enhancing the conversion efficiency is designed. The conversion efficiency at the distance of 4[m] is 79.3[%] and the harvested power is 1.36[mW] which is actually used for the charging the battery. This value is available in the wireless sensor networking.

In this study, in order to test the performance of the aircraft system, a threat signal simulator that can transmit a signal similar to the actual threat to the aircraft under test with high power was designed. The high-power threat signal simulator should be able to transmit broadband (UHF band, L band, S band, X band) communication signals and radar signals, and control to transmit signals accurately directed to the aircraft through interfacing tracking radar. The signal strength of the developed equipment is 63 dBm to 93 dBm or more depending on type of signal, and the tracking precision is less than 0.1 degree, which satisfies the required performance. And it was confirmed that the antenna of the high-power threat signal simulator can accurately direct the signal to the aircraft position through the tracking radar interfacing.

In this paper, radiation patterns are simulated and analyzed for inverted-F antenna(IFA) on a cylindrical conducting body like a satellite launcher. First, parametric studies are performed for IFA itself to analyze its characteristics. Then, IFAs on a cylindrical conducting body are simulated and analyzed. Especially, by changing the number of IFAs, the length and the diameter of the cylinder radiation patterns are simulated and analyzed. Finally, IFAs on a cylindrical conducting body are fabricated and their return losses and radiation patterns are measured. Good agreements are observed between the simulated and measured results.

During developing cubesat flight software, Communication test between cubesat and ground station is needed. For this, we have constructed indoor ground station without outdoor antenna for decreasing total cost and time. In this time, if output power of ground station is high, it will affect for cubesat transceiver to be fail. For solving this problem, ground station must be designed for output power of it to be lower than input power of cubesat satellite, and it must be verified. In this paper, first, we describe cubesat indoor ground station using UHF and VHF. Second, we describe output power decreasing test for indoor operation of ground station by attaching attenuators in the end of the output connector.
