Ultra-wideband propagation measurement results for body area network scenarios are presented. We assumed several different scenarios for around-body and on-body propagations, and for each scenario, we conducted both time domain and frequency domain measurements in an anechoic chamber. For the around-body case, we investigated the effects of human body parts blocking line-of-sight, which could be accounted for by diffraction. On-body measurement results indicate a more complicated propagation mechanism exists in on-body propagation than in around-body propagation and antenna characteristics are affected.

Cooperative diversity protocols have attracted a great deal of attention since they are thought to be capable of providing diversity multiplexing tradeoff among single antenna wireless devices. In the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, cooperation is rarely required; hence, the spectral efficiency of the cooperative protocol can be improved by applying a proper cooperation selection technique. In this paper, we present a simple "cooperation selection" technique based on instantaneous channel measurement to improve the spectral efficiency of cooperative protocols. We show that the same instantaneous channel measurement can also be used for relay selection. In this paper two protocols are proposed-proactive and reactive; the selection of one of these protocols depends on whether the decision of cooperation selection is made before or after the transmission of the source. These protocols can successfully select cooperation along with the best relay from a set of available M relays. If the instantaneous source-to-destination channel is strong enough to support the system requirements, then the source simply transmits to the destination as a noncooperative direct transmission; otherwise, a cooperative transmission with the help of the selected best relay is chosen by the system. Analysis and simulation results show that these protocols can achieve higher order diversity with improved spectral efficiency, i.e., a higher diversity-multiplexing tradeoff in a slow-fading environment.

Partial discharge were simulated by conductive particle which could be easy accumulated charge and concentrated electric field in the model GIS. Radiated electromagnetic waves were measured and analyzed by using spectrum analyzer and antenna ($30{\sim}2000[MHz]$) for measurement of EMI EMC in accordance with occurrence and propagation of partial discharge. This paper suggested the other method of detecting and estimating of partial discharge for insulation diagnosis of GIS being conductive particle by measurement and analysis of radiated electromagnetic waves. From results of this study, it was confirmed that if the suggested method should be used for the diagnosis of insulation in the model GIS being conductive particle, detecting partial discharge and estimating discharge propagation will be possible.

Incorrect ambiguity integer of GPS make a large error on attitude determination. In this paper one method is suggested for estimating the multipath of GPS carrier measurement while attitude determination. The multi-antenna system consists of 4 antennas have the same clock error help to make attitude determination effectively. If the distance between antennas is a half wavelength, it is not necessary to search the ambiguity integer and the multipath of GPS carrier measurement can be estimated. The results of the simulation are shown and analyzed.

As location-based services using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are diversified, concerns about the vulnerability of GNSS to radio disturbance and deception are also growing. Accordingly, countries that own and operate GNSS, such as the United States, Russia, and Europe, are also developing additional navigation systems that can compensate for GNSS' weaknesses. Among them, an R-Mode system that transmits navigation signals using an infrastructure that transmits differential GNSS (DGNSS) information using signals from the medium frequency band currently in operation is being developed in Europe and Korea. Since 2020, Korea has improved four DGNSS transmission stations, including Chungju, Eocheongdo, Palmido, and Socheongdo, to transmit R-Mode signals and test navigation performance in some parts of the West Sea. In this paper, we intend to establish a testbed for measuring the distance of R-Mode signals currently being transmitted and analyze the results. It is confirmed that the distance measurement performance varies depending on the antenna type, diurnal variation, and propagation path of the signal.

In this paper the imitated electric defect was simulated by insulation particle in the model GIS. This paper studied the distribution of frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves using antenna (30-2,000[MHz]) and spectrum analyzer. From results of this study, a new method was introduced for measurement and analysis of the radiated electromagnetic waves in accordance with discharge progress of each defect in the model GIS. It was confirmed that detecting partial discharge and estimating discharge progress can be possible in the model GIS.

In this paper, we investigated the recognition range according to modulation index for the ISO(International Standards Organization) 14443 13.56MHz contactless Type B RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system. We measured recognition range with changing modulation index step by step from 5% to 24% where we used 4 samples of Type B transponder with different resonance frequencies between 13.838MHz and 17.200MHz. While gradually increasing a distance in vertical direction from the center of the reader antenna, we measured the distance where the transponder's PUPI(Pseudo Unique PICC(Proximity IC Card) Identifier) is recognized continuously during 10 seconds and the distance where the transponder's PUPI is recognized at least two times during 5 seconds. From the measurement results, we found that the best recognition ranges were achieved when the reader had modulation index between 11% and 14%.

Radio interference has been occurring in mobile communication services on the southern seashore in Korea. Monitoring the radio interference signal revealed that the main reason for the radio interference was a radio ducting signal coming from the seaside of Japan. In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of interference on WiMAX service using a 2.5 GHz frequency band between Korea and Japan. We focus on the interference scenario from base station to base station and we use the Minimum Coupling Loss (MCL) method for interference analysis and the Advanced Propagation Model (APM) for calculating the propagation loss in ducts. The propagation model is also compared with experimental measurement data. We confirm that the interfering signal strength depends on the antenna height and this result can be applied to deployment planning for each system with an interference impact acceptable to both parties.
