In this paper, a novel coupled C type resonator is proposed for improvement of phase noise characteristics that is weak point of oscillator using planar type microstrip line resonator. Oscillator using proposed shorted coupled C type resonator is designed, it has improved phase noise characteristics. At the fundamental frequency of 9.8GHz, 4.87dBm output power and -84.7 dBc@100kHz phase noise have been measured for oscillator with shorted coupled C type resonator. Next, we designed voltage controlled oscillator using proposed shorted coupled C type resonator with varactor diode. The VCO has 33.8MHz tuning range from 9.7807GHz to 9.8145GHz, and phase noise characteristic is -115~-112.5dBc/Hz@100KHz. Due to its simple fabrication process and planar type, it is expected that the technique in this paper can be widely used for low phase noise oscillators for both MIC and MMIC applications.

Results of an analysis of the continuous motion effect for FMCW-SAR system and a signal processing to correct it are presented in this paper. SAR images reconstructed by back-projection algorithm are included as well. To analyze how platform velocity and sampling frequency affect the continuous motion effect, FMCW signal model was used, and the signal processing in time-doppler(t, $k_u$) domain was adopted. Then, back-projection algorithm and modified matched-filter was used to reconstruct SAR images, and it was validated using measured data by airborne FMCW-SAR system in X-band frequency.

This paper presents that the comparison results of AT (Active Transponder) positions obtained from different measurements: the result of GPS device and evaluated position from the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) image, and active transponders can be useful as GCPs(Ground Control Points) in SAR images. The X-band AT are installed on the wide-and-flat area to improve SCR(signal-to-clutter ration), and activated to represent impulse response function in order to operate as one point target in SAR images. Cosmo-SkyMed operating at X-band frequency are used to provide SAR images of AT. The comparison of AT position is performed by using the result of GPS device field measurement and AT SAR images. ENVI-SARscape S/W is used to evaluate AT position in the SAR images. From the comparison, it is shown that AT are useful as GCPs for SAR images.

This paper describes a design of the WAVE antenna system in V2X wireless communication systems for Intelligent Transport Systems. The WAVE standard protocols defined 5.825~5.9GHz frequency range for wireless communications with V2X. In a recent, A study of WAVE communication system it has been studied mainly the base station and the OBU technology in order to improve the communication performance of the communication distance. In this paper, the proposed vehicular WAVE antenna using the EBG structure is to improve performance. The proposed WAVE antenna with EBG shows improvement of return loss and radiation beam pattern. The performance of WAVE communication systems for intelligent transport systems is dependent on the performance of antenna. The proposed vehicular antenna for WAVE communication systems shows improvement of return loss for performance.

Dual-polarization means to use two orthogonal polarizations, namely two independent channels in communication. This can be used to deal with high datarate caused by large amount of observed data in future LEO satellite. However, when two orthogonal polarizations are not perfectly independent to each other in practical, interference is probably raised in each channel, meaning that noise level in passband increases. XPD (Cross-Polarization Discrimination) is the ratio of the signal level at the output of a receiving antenna that is nominally co-polarized to the transmitting antenna to the output of a receiving antenna of the same gain but nominally orthogonal polarized to the transmitting antenna. In this paper, the influence of XPD on the communication between satellite and ground station was analyzed under the assumption that X-Band dual-polarization was applied to KOMPSAT-2 (KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-2). Through analysis, it was shown that more than 3dB of link margin was still achievable despite of worst axial ratio, 2.5dB, at ground station antenna when axial ratio of satellite antenna was about 0.5dB under 99% of environmental availability.

In this paper, a photonic-based microwave system technology is described, and a traveling-wave electro-optic modulator is designed and manufactured as a key component. The fabricated modulator is composed of a metal diffusion waveguide for optical transmission and a planar waveguide electrode on lithium niobate substrate for microwave transmission. The electro-optic response bandwidth of I and Q channels in a fabricated dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator were measured for 27.67 and 28.11 GHz, respectively. Photonic four times up-converted X-band frequency and linear frequency modulated signal were confirmed using the fabricated electro-optic modulator by S-band input signal. The confirmed broadband signal can be applied to a microwave system for surveillance and high-resolution ISAR imaging.

본 논문은 2린 대역의 마이크로 셀 환경에서 원편파 특성을 분석하기 위하여 편파의 특성을 이론적 해석과 실제 측정 데이터를 비교 검토하였다. 가시거리에서는 원편파가 기수회 반사파 수신을 억제하기 때문에 다중경로 페이딩에 대한 경감 효과가 있다는 것은 널리 알려져 있다. 본 연구팀은 "E"자형 건물의 회절 음영 지역에서도 원편파의 편파 특성이 잘 유지되는지를 측정 분석하였다. 이를 위해 정선회 원편파(C), 역선회 원편파(X), 수직편파(V), 수평편파(H) 안테나를 사용하여 각각의 송수신 편파간 조합에 대하여 거리에 따른 전계강도를 이동 측정하였다. 전파 모델은 "E"자형 건물의 회절지역 모델에서 2개의 경로를 선택하여 각각에 대한 전파의 편파 특성을 분석하였다.대한 전파의 편파 특성을 분석하였다.

Pd게이트 MOS센서의 수소검지특성에 Pd 박막의 증착조건이 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사였다. rf power의 증가와 증착온도의 증가는 모두 센서의 감도와 초기반응속도를 감소시켰으며 rf power의 변화보다는 증착온도의 변화에 의한 효과가 현저하였다. 절연막을 Si$_{x}$N$_{y}$ /SiO$_{2}$로 대신한 결과 SiO$_{2}$에서돠는 달리 시간이 지남에 따라 평탄대역전압이 여러 단계로 변화하는 양상을 보였다. rf power, 증착온도, 기판의 변화가 MOS 센서의 감도나 초기반응속도등의 센서특성에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.
