In this paper to evaluate the performance of the polarization diversity and the space diversity in the indoor environment, we used 3D Ray-tracing simulation. This model is capable of predicting small scale fading characteristics of the channel for evaluating the performances of both the polarization and the space diversity scheme. The measurement and simulation results show that the polarization diversity and the space diversity are expected to be efficiently used for the indoor environments. Moreover, the results show that the proposed polarization diversity technique using directional dual polarization microstrip array antennas has more diversity gain than the conventional polarization and space diversity using dipole antenna.

In this paper, we present the analysis of radio wave propagation characteristics in curved tunnels. Tunnel propagation models are performed in two cases which are using ray-tracing method for straight tunnels and geometrical optics extension to the standard hybrid waveguide model for curved ones. By regression analysis for measured power based on distance between the transmitter and the received antenna in tunnels that have 3.5 m $\times$ 6 m cross section and limited wall depth path loss are 0.19 dB/m for straight section and 0.68 dB/m for curved ones. By comparing model analysis with measurement in tunnels, it has been shown that the simulated results of tunnel propagation models are similar to the measured values.

Insulation diagnosis techniques of power equipments for the stable power supply and prevention from accidents are of high importance. Diagnosis techniques is able to prevent from large accidents before they happen by finding signs of the accidents. From this point of view, this paper simulated discharge progress and partial discharge using needle-plan electrode system in air, studied the distribution of frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves using biconical antenna and spectrum analyzer. From results of this study. the new method was introduced for measurement and analyzation of the radiated electromagnetic waves in accordance with discharge progress in air. Besides, according to the consideration of the mutual relation between frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves and discharge progress, it was confirmed that detecting partial discharge and estimating discharge progress were possible.

In recent, it became necessary to develop the technology about electrodeless fluorescent lamp according to demand of the electrodeless fluorescent lamp system that used higher efficiency and advantage of long lifetime. Inductively coupled plasma is commonly used for electrodeless lamp due to its ease of plasma generation. An electric power efficiency of electrodeless fluorescent lamp has big relative property of gas in lamp, gas pressure, lamp formation, ingredients of magnetic substance and shape and action frequency etc. We used magnetic substance that open self-examination material of electrodeless fluorescent lamp antenna. Ferrite that is used in this experiment was Mn-Zn type. We have examined temperature and flux characteristic by frequency. Considering using frequency 2.65[MHz], Frequency was changed from 2.05[MHz] to 3.05[MHz] to recognize flux and temperature change of lamp. I used LMS(Lighting Measurement System) to measure flux and IR Camera to measure temperature of lamp.

Enhanced ICRF (Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency) ion heating of H-mode D(H) plasma will be tried in 2011 KSTAR experimental campaign. Minority heating is a main ion heating scheme in the ICRF. Its efficiency increases as the hydrogen minority ratio increases in deuterium plasmas. And it should be sustained at a lower level than the critical minority ratio. Consequently, it is important to elevate the critical ratio to maximize ion heating and it is possible by increasing the ion temperature or parallel wave number (k${\parallel}$) of the antenna. Increasing the k${\parallel}$ is not a good approach since the coupling efficiency decreases exponentially with regard to k${\parallel}$ as well. So the remaining method is to increase ion temperature by using NB (Neutral Beam). Ion heating fraction of NB increases as the electron temperature increases. Therefore, we will try to heat electron by using ECH together with NB ion heating before ICRF power injection. The ICRF heating efficiency will be compared with respect to several NB+ECH+ICRF heating combinations through several diagnostics such as XICS (Xray Imaging Crystal Spectroscopy), CES (Charge Exchange Spectroscopy) and neutron measurement. The theoretical background and the experimental results will be presented in more detail in the conference.

This paper studies on Sun interference effects or Sun outage effects on C-band satellite reception signal for THAICOM2. The THAICOM2 satellite is at 78.5 degree East 〔co-located with THAICOM3〕. The down link station was located in Khon-kaen, longitude 102.83 degree East and latitude 16.43 degree North. The antenna diameter is 4.6 meters for C-band downlink station. Total 9 times of sun interference events were occurred during summer and fall of 2001 and these about 53 minutes altogether. The Maximum CM degradation of the THAICOM2 system was around 11 dB. The Sun interference events of 53 minutes of one year are 0.0122 percents of the C-band contact time when 21 hours of contact time is used f3r broadcasting a day.

Defense Systems Test Center in ADD supports increasingly various missile test requirements such as higher altitude event, multi target operation and low-altitude, high velocity target tracking. In this paper, we have proposed the development of instrumentation radar tracking status simulator based on virtual reality. This simulator can predict the tracking status and risk of failure using several modeling algorithms. It consists of target model, radar model, environment model and several algorithms includes the multipath interference effects. Simulation results show that the predict tracking status and signal are similar to the test results of the live flight test. This simulator predicts and analyze all of the status and critical parameters such as the optimal site location, servo response, optimal flight trajectory, LOS(Line of Sight). This simulator provides the mission plan with a powerful M&S tool to rehearse and analyze instrumentation tracking radar measurement plan for live flight test at DSTC(Defense Systems Test Center).

In the conventional AOA(angle-of-arrival) positioning utilizing reverse-link wireless channel, each sensor should be equipped with an array antenna to measure the incident angle of signal transmitting from a tag. To perform the complicated signal processing for angle measurements, sensor size and its power consumption will be large. In some applications like mobile robot location, there exists no strict restriction in tag size or in power consumption. Rather, it is desirable that the sensor would be as small as possible. This paper presents a new AOA positioning method utilizing forward-link channel. Under the assumption that the mobile robot is operating on the flat surface, the measurement model for FLAOA(tiJrward-link AOA) is derived first. Two kinds of position estimation algorithms using FLAOA measurements are proposed; Gauss-Newton method and closed-fonn solution method. With the proposed methods, we can ohtain the attitude of robot as well as its position. Positioning performance of proposed methods is compared by computer simulation. Simulation results show that the closed-form solution method using FLAOA measurements is suitable for indoor robot positioning.

In the recent years, UHF PD measuring technique for detecting partial discharges was proved the effective method for Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). However, in case of GIS with a metal flange around insulating spacer, UHF PD measurement using typical external UHF PD sensor is difficult. In this paper, a novel hole-type UHF PD sensor based on Archimedean spiral antenna theory has been proposed and realized. All spacers with metal flange have small hole in order to inject epoxy. Using the novel hole-type UHF PD sensor, it makes detection possible to PD signal that are emitted through the epoxy injection hole. Additionally, the measuring characteristic of UHF PD signals from several artificial defects in GIS and the novel ${\Phi}$-f-q pattern analysis technology are discussed.
