This paper presents results of continuous wave and swept frequency response measurements over the frequency range of UNII lower and middle bands from 5.15GHz to 5.35GHz in indoor environments. From the continuous wave measurements at 5.2GHz, the excess path loss, and the statistical characteristics of the temporal and spatial fading were found. By sweeping the frequency over the band, envelope correlation as a function of frequency was found and the coherence bandwidth (CBW) was determined from the envelope correlation. Using a channel model, the CBW was used to evaluate RMS delay spread. The dependence of CBW on the antenna polarization was simulated and compared with the measurement results. The influence of room size and separation of transmitter and receiver for LOS paths on RMS delay spread was discussed.

Ground penetrating radar(GPR) was applied for measuring depths, sizes and intervals of rebars embedded in concrete. A concrete wall was constructed for this study and a sand pool and a concrete block were used for simulation. Result of this study shows that GPR can be used for measuring rebar depths and intervals, even though it is limitary, but that measuring sizes is almost impossible. Simulation with the sand pool was helpful for research on the versatile rebar arrays though signal was not clear as real concrete wall. A concrete block with many cylindrical holes for inserting different sized rebars could not be used for simulator due to many unknown reflective waves. Antenna orientation must be perpendicular to rebars for large reflection signal.

Species of the genus Eopompilus Gussakovskij, 1932 from South Korea are reviewed. Three species are confirmed: E. internalis, E. luteus, and E. minor. Eopompilus luteus is recorded for the first time in Korea, and is easily separated from its congers by markedly extensive coloration and comparatively large body size in both sexes. Females are characterized by yellowish wing, light brown stigma and veins, lacking of subapical or apical dark fascia on forewing. Males are characterized by serrate antenna formed by submesal convex on each flagellomeres 2-11, symmetrical claws of fore tarsus, hypopygium widened basally and forming a rhomboid plate, lacking of dark fasciae in forewing. The specimen identified as Cryptocheilus nicevilli Bingham from Korea by Kim (1970) is examined and is reclassified as conspecific with E. luteus. A key is presented of the three species complemented by digital images and diagnosis.

In this study, we consider the application of the bifocusing method (BFM) for identifying the locations and shapes of small anomalies from scattering parameter data when the exact values of background permittivity and conductivity are unknown. To this end, an imaging function using numerical focusing operator is introduced and its mathematical structure is revealed by establishing a relationship with an infinite series of Bessel functions, antenna arrangements, and anomaly properties. On the basis of the revealed structure, we demonstrate why inaccurate location and size of anomalies were retrieved via the BFM. Some simulation results are illustrated using synthetic data polluted by random noise to support the theoretical result.

The compact dipole antenna elements and array structure is proposed. The array structure is designed for applicator in regional hyperthermia treatment to enhance the uniformity of the heat distribution which makes the treatment effective and prevents overheating. The compact dipole is designed with branched dipole and matching network to have small size and symmetric shape. The temperature simulation with specific absorption rate(SAR) and bio-heat equation is performed to have heat distribution. The applicator is designed, fabricated, and measured with multi-channel thermometer in 30 and 60 minutes. The simulation and measurement results showed agreement and the simulation in body circumstance has proper temperature result for hyperthermia therapy.

We designed and fabricated a semiconductor optical amplifier-integrated dual-mode laser (SOA-DML) as a compact and widely tunable continuous-wave terahertz (CW THz) beat source, and a pin-photodiode (pin-PD) integrated with a log-periodic planar antenna as a CW THz emitter. The SOA-DML chip consists of two distributed feedback lasers, a phase section for a tunable beat source, an amplifier, and a tapered spot-size converter for high output power and fiber-coupling efficiency. The SOA-DML module exhibits an output power of more than 15 dBm and clear four-wave mixing throughout the entire tuning range. Using integrated micro-heaters, we were able to tune the optical beat frequency from 380 GHz to 1,120 GHz. In addition, the effect of benzocyclobutene polymer in the antenna design of a pin-PD was considered. Furthermore, a dual active photodiode (PD) for high output power was designed, resulting in a 1.7-fold increase in efficiency compared with a single active PD at 220 GHz. Finally, herein we successfully show the feasibility of the CW THz system by demonstrating THz frequency-domain spectroscopy of an ${\alpha}$-lactose pellet using the modularized SOA-DML and a PD emitter.

SgrA* located in the center of the Milky Way is of great interest to understand the physics of supermassive black hole(SMBH) and the interaction of the G2 cloud around SgrA* with the accretion flow which was expected since 2013. In order to seize this rare opportunity, KVN and VERA Array (so called, KaVA) has started an intensive monitoring program of SgrA* at 22/43 GHz where scatter broadening is reduced compared to lower frequency VLBI observations. We present the results of KaVA SgrA* observation together with Takahagi (32m) and Yamaguchi (32m) telescopes at 22 GHz on March 24, 2013. We have tested both a standard amplitude calibration methods using the Tsys and antenna gain information and a template amplitude calibration method which uses a peak of H2O maser line of nearby maser source (SgrB2), and found that the latter method is useful when an accuracy of Tsys measurement or antenna gain of a telescope is poor. In our comparison, the difference between the two methods is around 20% (~5% for the KVN and ~15% for the VERA when the elevation is above $20^{\circ}$). We also imaged SgrA* with a total flux of ~0.7 Jy at 22GHz, and fitted an elliptical Gaussian model which has a size of ~2.5mas for major axis and ~1.7mas for minor axis, respectively.

We perform an analysis of the characteristics of the time-reversal pulse in Rayleigh or Ricean fading channel environments. We verify it by using Monte Carlo simulation. In a time-reversal system, each antenna in the time-reversal array receives signals from the transmitter and reverse the received signal in the time axis and then resend it to the original transmitter. We assume that the channel characteristics varies very slowly and the spatial separation between the antennas is not large. Hence the signals received by each antenna are correlated. In this paper, the effect of the correlation on the time-reversed pulse is examined, which includes the spatial properties of the time-reversal pulse such as the focus size, and spatial power distribution.

The ripple within the quiet zone in the CATR(Compact Antenna Test Range) would be increased due to the diffraction at the edge of the reflector. Therefore, the reflector equipped with the serrations is generally used to reduce the ripple within the quiet zone. In this paper, the modified asymmetric triangular serrations are proposed, and the diffraction of the proposed serrations is analyzed using the Fresnel diffraction formula. The ripple of amplitude and phase between the conventional triangular and the proposed serrations are compared to confirm the ripple of the proposed serrations. As the result of the modulated the reflector size, height of the serrations and numbers of serrations, it is confirmed that the ripple of the proposed serrations is less than the conventional triangular serrations. Accordingly, proposed serrations are expected to reduce the ripple within quiet zone.

In this paper, we studied on dual reflector adjusted to monopulse antenna system. As a result, when the efficiency of main reflector is more than 70%, The size of reflector is 30 wavelength of maximum frequency and minimum frequency gain is 37.9dBi, and Maximum frequency gain is 38.6dBi. Also, when a radius is D and Focus-distance is $F_e$, a scheme for efficiency improvement of Sub Reflector is to increase the Focus-distance to Diameter Ratio. In this case, Cross polarization in Far field improved and spherical spreading loss in circumference of reflector reduced. The influence of Radiation pattern followed by the side displacement of feed antenna(at $x_sy_s$) is decreased, it is confirmed that performance of scanning is improved.
