This study designed a new type of loop antenna that is able to detect partial discharges based on microstrip line technology. In the diagnosis of power cables, partial discharge signals are generally produced at a frequency range less than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals are lost along a propagation path in such cables. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied using simulation software known as CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measurement experiments, a commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT and loop antenna sensors for detecting partial discharges on 22.9kV MV XLPE cable. In this study, we showed the loop antenna designed in this study that can be applied as a commercial HFCT sensor.

A nonlinear shaping method for a wire antenna is presented to improve the limited pulse radiation ability due to the frequency characteristics with nulls which are found in the conventional straight or V antennas. The developed scheme is based on the minimization of frequency-dependence of the radiated electric field intensity over wide band, hence giving the ripple-type frequency characteristics. It is shown that the synthesized shape has more advantage in the case of shorter pulse. That is, we found that for shorter pulse exciting, the radiated peak value of the synthesized antenna is larger than that of the conventional linear antenna. The inverse discrete Fourier transform based on the moment method is used for the transient analysis of current distribution and far field electric field.

In this paper, a compact doppler sensor with oscillator type active antenna operating at 2.4GHz frequency band is proposed to measure the distance to a moving object. The oscillation frequency is shifted depending on approaching of the object, and a detection circuit discriminates the frequency deviation. The active antenna has been designed and simulated. The prototype fabricated has a small circular disk type of diameter 30mm and height 4.2mm. As for antenna performance, broadside radiation pattern with beamwidth of $120^{\circ}$ and oscillation frequency of 2.35GHz has been measured. Test results as a range sensor shows that signal voltage of about 240mV has been obtained for conducting plate moving 1 meter away from the sensor. And, signal voltage has been linearly increased to the ground from 5m height by free-falling the sensor.

This paper presents a procedure to optimize the design of 70GHz band array antenna for automotive short range radar sensor applications using Chebyshev polynomials. SRR(: Short Range Radar) systems require a wide angle width and low Side lobe level to detect targets within close proximity while ensuring a high Field of View(FoV). The optimized antenna operates in the 76 to 81GHz frequency range, and to reduce the antenna size, we arranged 12 patches in series, achieving an SLL of 10dB, angle with of 112.5o, gain of 15.4dB and an input return loss of less than -10dB at 78GHz. In this paper, we proceed with antenna design for SRR using Chebyshev polynomials, and present an optimal design for antenna structures to be used in MRR(: Medium-Range Radar) and LRR(: Long Range Radar) applications based on this paper

In this study, The new type of loop antenna which detects the partial discharge was designed based on microstrip line technology. In diagnosis of power cable, partial discharge signal generally occurred at the frequency range lower than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals could be lost along the propagation path in the cable. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied by using Simulation software named CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measuring experiments, commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT sensor and loop antenna sensor in detection partial discharge on MV XLPE cable of 22.9kV. In this study, we have shown our loop antenna sensor can apply as a commercial HFCT sensor.

Small RFID tag antenna were fabricated on Si substrate and their physical and electrical properties were evaluated. With decreasing the size of tag antenna on Si substrate, small SMD-type RFID tags could be fabricated, which is very useful for various applications including PCB tracking. Firstly, electromagnetic properties on tag antenna pattern were simulated with HFSS. The setup frequency was 13.56 MHz of HF-band RFID. The line-width and line-gap were modeled in the range of $50{\sim}200{\mu}m$. S parameters, SRF, and Q value were calculated from the model. When the line-width and line-gap were 100 urn and the loop-turn was 10, the SRF was 80 MHz and the Q value was ca. 9. When the microstrip antenna pattern of aluminum was fabricated by using DC sputtering, Vpp of ca. 1.6 V was obtained when the reader-tag distance was 40 mm.

The objective of this paper is to effectively detect partial discharges in XLPE power cables. In this field, we have been usually applied several sensors for such partial discharges. This study used a type of beyond compare antenna based on the influence of background noises. Also, we designed a new structure that is able to easily apply in the adhesion of planar patch types for XLPE power cables in measurement sensitiveness elevation. A high frequency simulation tool (CST-MWS) was applied to the antenna used in this study, and it was used to evaluate certain characteristics. We fabricated an antenna using the simulation data obtained from a specific test. After checking the sensitivity of this Planar Patch Sensor in the Lab, it was tested in an actual site. This paper analyzed the data as a part of time and frequency domain using an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer, respectively.

In this paper, the oscillator type active antenna used as an element of active phased array antenna is designed and fabricated using slot coupling. The radiating element and active circuit are fabricated on each layer respectively and coupled electromagnetically through slot on the ground plane. This structure can solve the problems such as narrow bandwidth of microstrip antenna, spurious radiation by active circuits, and spaces for integration of the feeding circuits which are caused by integrating antennas with oscillator circuits in the same layer. The active antenna in this paper, the oscillation frequency can be tuned linearly by controlling the drain bias voltage of FET. The frequency tuning range is between 12.37 GHz to 12.65 GHz when bias voltage is varied from 3V to 9V, thus frequency tuning bandwidth is 280 MHz (2.24%). The output power of antenna is uniform within 5dB over frequency tuning range. Therefore this active antenna can be used as an element of linear or planar active phased array antennas.
