In this paper, an X-band 50 W internally matched power amplifier is designed and fabricated using an $80{\times}150{\mu}m$ GaN HEMT that is developed by the $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN HEMT process of ETRI. The optimum source and load impedances are experimentally extracted from the loadpull measurement using impedance-transform-prematching circuits, and the transistor performance is predicted. The power performance of the internally matched power amplifier, whose matching circuits are fabricated on a substrate with ${\varepsilon}_r$ of 10.2, is measured under the pulsed mode of $100{\mu}s$ pulse period and 10 % duty cycle, and the best output power of 47.46 dBm(55.5 W) and the power-added efficiency of 46.6 % are obtained at 9.2 GHz. The output power of 47~47.46 dBm(50~55.7 W) is measured in 9.0~9.5 GHz, and the power-added efficiency is measured to be greater than 43 % in 9.0~9.3 GHz and above 36 % in 9.4~9.5 GHz.

This Paper describes a dual bands PD measurement method which has two different bandwidths. The one bandwidth is 0.5 - 2 GHz and the other is 1 - 2GHz. This method is used for GIS diagnosis. In the experiment, it shows that the ratios between two PD quantities in dual bands depend on the defect types and gas pressures. The variations of ratios in different pressures are more sensitive than ones in defect types. And These ratios increase with increasing SF6 gas pressures. As these ratios give us additive information of PD we can analyze the defect type as well as risk assessment for the GIS reliably. Therefore the above result shows that these ratios are one of parameters for diagnosing GIS.

Sinuous antenna is utilized in a number of application like direction-finding system that require ultra wideband, but because of high input impedance of the antenna, it is difficult to design low-profile antenna and balun. In this study, we used Babinet's principle and proposed linear 2-arm slot sinuous antenna that is divided sinuous 6 cell with equal spacing between the most largest radius $R_1=31.83mm$ and the smallest radius $R_p=1.7mm$ instead of exponential 2-arm strip sinuous antenna for 2-18[GHz] frequency band to obtain low input impedance, and we have studied -10dB bandwidth of antenna when has been fed by $80{\Omega}$ instead of $188{\Omega}$ at feeder point. As a result, we have obtained return loss below than -10dB for about 4-18[GHz] frequency range in the case of slot antenna, but at all frequency band, return loss was above -10dB in the case of strip antenna.

In this paper, the transmit-receive module for military seekers has been designed and fabricated in 35 GHz. To increase the performance of substrates and high integration of circuits in millimeter-wave band, a 4-layer LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer) substrate was developed. This substrate was implemented with three FCCL substrates and two adhesive layers, and a process using the difference in melting point between the substrates was used for lamination. Using a strip line and a microstrip line was confirmed by the transmission loss along the length of the substrate, and the performance of LCP substrates was validated with a power divider in 35 GHz. After confirming the performance of individual blocks such as power amplifier and low noise amplifier, a single channel Ka-band transmission/reception module was developed using a 4-layer liquid crystal polymer substrate. The transmit power of this module has above 1.1W in pulse duty 10% and has an output power of 1.1W and it has receive noise figure less than 8.5 dB and receive gain more than 17.6 dB.

In this study, Sintering behavior, Crystallographic structure, Microwave Dielectric properties of the nonstoichiometric Ba$\_$1-x/(Zn$\_$1/3/Ta$\_$2/3/)O$_3$with 0 x 0.04 were investigated. A small amount(lmol%) of MnO$_2$is doped to the sample to complete the sintering. The degree of Zn and Ta ordering in B site and Lattice distortion were promoted by reducing Ba concentration. At x=0.01, Unloaded Q value reached above 7500 (at 10.5 GHZ) ; however, above x=0.01, Q value was greatly decreased, in spite of saturation in Zn-Ta ordering. At x=0.01, The Dielectric constant was 30 at 10.5GHz. and The Temperature Coefficient was estimated as 2ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

Design and characteristic improvement of existing folded dipole antenna is presented to adopt W-CDMA(1.885~2.170 GHz) wideband antenna radiators. The antenna structure has +/- 45 degrees dual polarization. In order to overcome the narrow bandwidth and low gain characteristic typical of the microstrip antenna, double layered structure was employed. The antenna achieved below - 20 dB reflection coefficients each ports, - 20 dB of port isolation, above 7 dBi of gain, providing evidence that the proposed design can be used in the W-CDMA service frequency band antenna.

This study presents a 2-20 GHz monolithic distributed power amplifier (DPA) using a $0.25{\mu}m$ AlGaN/GaN on SiC high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology. The gate width of the HEMT was selected after considering the input capacitance of the unit cell that guarantees decade bandwidth. To achieve high output power using small transistors, a 12-stage DPA was designed with a non-uniform drain line impedance to provide optimal output power matching. The maximum operating frequency of the proposed DPA is above 20 GHz, which is higher than those of other DPAs manufactured with the same gate-length process. The measured output power and power-added efficiency of the DPA monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) are 35.3-38.6 dBm and 11.4%-31%, respectively, for 2-20 GHz.

The remarkable progress of electronics and radio communications technology has made our life abundant. On the other hand, the countermeasure of EMl/EMC becomes more important socially according to the increased use of electromagnetic waves. It had been required that the absorbing ability of an electromagnetic wave absorber is more than 20 dB, the bandwidth of which is required through 30 MHz to 1,000 MHz for satisfying the international standard about an anechoic chamber for EMl/EMS measurement. From November of 1998, however, the CISPR11 has accepted the extended frequency band to 18 GHz in the bandwidth of EMI measurement. In this paper, we proposed the cut corn type and cylinder type absorbers satisfying the above requirments and carried out broadband design using the equivalent material constants method.

Recently, preparations for 6G have led to the increasing interest in integrated or hybrid communication networks considering low-orbit satellite communication networks with terrestrial mobile communication networks. In addition, the demand for frequency allocation for new mobile services from low-orbit small satellites to provide global internet of things (IoT) services is increasing. The operation of such satellites and terrestrial mobile communication networks may inevitably cause interference in adjacent bands and the same band frequency between satellites and terrestrial systems. Focusing on the results of the recent ITU-R WP4C meeting, this study introduces the current status of frequency sharing and interference issues between satellites and terrestrial systems, and frequency allocation issues for new mobile satellite operations. Coexistence and compatibility studies with terrestrial IMT in L band and 2.6 GHz band, operated by Inmassat and India, respectively, and a new frequency allocation study (WRC-23 AI 1.18) are carried out to reflect satellite IoT demand. For the L band, technical requirements have been developed for emission from IMT devices at 1,492 MHz to 1,518 MHz to bands above 1,518 MHz. Related studies in the 2 GHz and 2.6 GHz bands are not discussed due to lack of contributions at the recent meeting. In particular, concerning the WRC-23 agenda 1.18 study on the new frequency allocation method of narrowband mobile satellite work in the Region 1 candidate band 2,010 MHz to 2,025 MHz, Region 2 candidate bands 1,695 MHz to 1,710 MHz, 3,300 MHz to 3,315 MHz, and 3,385 MHz to 3,400 MHz, ITU-R results show no new frequency allocation to narrow mobile satellite services. Given the expected various collaborations between satellites and the terrestrial component are in the future, interference issues between terrestrial IMT and mobile satellite services are similarly expected to continuously increase. Therefore, participation in related studies at ITU-R WP4C and active response to protect terrestrial IMT are necessary to protect domestic radio resources and secure additional frequencies reflecting satellite service use plans.

This paper discusses the characteristics and effects of dielectric inner-supports on discone antenna for broadband RF test chamber, and the verification has been performed by simulation. Several design parameters such as the thickness of the gap support, the position of the side support, and the thickness of the side support has been analyzed. The thickness of the gap support affected the reflection coefficient. An effect of the offset of the side support from the center was slight below 3 GHz and significant above 3 GHz. The thickness of the side support did not affect the reflection coefficient or the gain much. The performance of the fabricated discone antenna was in good agreement with the simulated results. This investigation of a dielectric support effects could be used to design a commercial discone antenna for broadband RF test chamber, focusing on electrical performance and mechanical stability.
