In this paper, we designed a blade antenna for VHF-UHF band(500 MHz~3 GHz) to be used as aircraft antennas. Unlike previously reported researches that use high-dielectric materials and insert rectangular extended grounds, the antenna structure was designed by optimizing the curvature of both a radiator and an extended ground whose shape is varied by changing the exponent of an n-th polynomial. Based on the optimized structure, we measured impedance matching and gain performances to evaluate the antenna in the VHF-UHF band(500 MHz~3 GHz). As a result, we confirmed that the antenna shows matching characteristics of less than -6 dB and has average gains of greater than -5 dBi in the entire VHF-UHF band.

This paper presents a VHF/UHF-band variable gain low noise amplifier for multi-standard mobile TV tuners. A proposed VHF-band variable gain amplifier is composed of a resistive shunt-feedback low noise amplifier to remove external matching components, a single-to-differential amplifier with input PMOS transcoductors to improve low frequency noise performance, a variable shunt-feedback resistor and an attenuator to control variable gain range. A proposed UHF-band variable gain amplifier consists of a narrowband low noise amplifier with capacitive tuning to improve noise performance and interference rejection performance, a single-to-differential with gm gain control and an attenuator to adjust gain control range. The proposed VHF-band and UHF-band variable gain amplifier were designed in a $0.18{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology and draws 22 mA and 17 mA from a 1.8 V supply voltage, respectively. The designed VHF-band and UHF-band variable gain amplifier show a voltage gain of 27 dB and 27 dB, a noise figure of 1.6-1.7 dB and 1.3-1.7 dB, OIP3 of 13.5 dBm and 16 dBm, respectively.

Herein, a non-Foster matching circuit is designed to improve the impedance matching characteristics of small antennas in the VHF and UHF bands. The proposed non-Foster circuit is designed to operate with negative capacitance in a wide frequency band from 50 MHz to 1,000 MHz for use in various communication bands. To ensure the stability of the non-Foster circuit with conditional stability, the open-circuit stability condition of Linvill was satisfied, and the circuit was fabricated using the FR-4 substrate. The fabricated non-Foster circuit was combined with a small antenna to verify its performance by measuring the return loss and received power in the FM, DMB, and GSM bands. The measured return loss was improved from -6 dB to -30 dB, and the measured received power was improved from 0.5 dBm to 5.2 dBm.

UHF PD sensor has some disadvantages in measuring void discharges due to their frequency characteristics lower than 300MHz. Therefore, in this study, the possibility of VHF sensor in measuring partial discharges(PD) in GIS was investigated using simulated experiments. As a result, by installing VHF sensors to the copper bus of the encloser in GIS, it is confirmed that partial discharges could be perfectly detected, which means that VHF PD measuring technique can be the alternative of UHF PD method.

무선통신 분야에서 다량의 정보전송과 CDMA, PCS 등의 상업화에 의해 광대역 고출력 증폭기의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 제품화된 파워 모듈에 비해 트랜지스터로 구성한 전력증폭기는 비용의 감소와 효율증대, 생산성 향상의 이점이 있다. 3단의 증폭기를 사용하여 VHF(148∼174㎒),UHF(440㎒∼470㎒)대역에서 5W이상의 전력과 45%이상의 효율을 얻었으며, 적정한 바이어스회로와 임피던스 정합회로망을 설계하여 제작, 실험함으로서 기존의 파워 모듈과 동일한 크기, 성능을 나타냈으며, 발진, 방열, 하모닉제거등 전력증폭기에서 요구하는 사항을 만족하였다. 또한 UHF트랜지스터를 사용하여 VHF의 증폭기를 임피던스 매칭을 이용하여 설계할 수 있음을 실험에 의하여 입증하였다.

By using the radio propagation prediction of Rec. ITU-R P.1546, geographic information system, and S-I plane, we presented the methodology of interference analysis based on the minimum coupling loss, and also suggested the local coordinate system for calculating azimuth and elevation angles between the victim receiver and the interferer for an arbitrary antenna pattern. To check the presented algorithm, the map with the land-sea mixed area was taken for the given area of $80{\times}60[km^2]$ as real geography information. Field strength, path profile, and protection ratio with maximum allowable interference level have been illustrated for radar and fixed wireless system for the assumed frequency. In addition interference power of the victim receiver was calculated asa function of azimuth and elevation angles of the interferer. The developed methodology of interference analysis in the VHF and UHF bands can be actually applied to assess interoperability as well as compatibility in the civil or military applications.

By virtue of Rec. ITU-R P.1546 and geography information system, interference analysis for the fixed wireless system and radar has been presented based upon the frequency-distance rules with minimum coupling loss, and a comprehensive methodology for assessing interoperability between systems was examined in terms of received signal, protection ratio, frequency dependent rejection. Also to find the antenna gain from a discrimination angle, a useful S-I plane was introduced based on signal and interference vectors derived from the real map with geographic information. To show some computational results, geography information on the map was taken for the given area, and field strength and path profile were illustrated for the radar and fixed wireless system operating at 2.7 GHz, for convenience. In addition the interference effect of receiver was also checked as a function of radar beam direction including protection ratio and frequency dependent rejection. The developed interference analysis can be actually applied to evaluate interoperability for wireless systems in the VHF and UHF bands.

The solar storm generated by solar activity can be impact on earth in various area. If solar storm impact on Navaids system, it will be a serious problem for aviation and human safety. The impact analysis of solar strom on Navaids system are performed in three area, ILS, GPS navigation and radio communication for aviation. Analysis result show that Instrument Landing System(LLZ, GP, MB) and Navaids system(VOR, DME, Radar) are not impacted by the solar storm, but GPS system is impacted by solar storm. Also analysis result show that VHF/UHF radio system are not impacted by solar storm, but HF radio system is impacted by solar storm.
