In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a receiver module for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. The receiver module was composed of an antenna, BPF (Band Pass Filter) and RF-DC converter. The antenna was designed to RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization). And we used ${\lambda}g/2$ open-circuited stubs for the BPF. In addition, the RF-DC converter used the tripler voltage circuit for voltage multipliers. The integrated receiver RF module for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission has been designed and fabricated. The voltage was measured to the distance of 50cm.

In this paper, the antenna the with linear active phased array of $1{\times}16$ operated in DBS band was designed. The antenna was composed of sixteen radiating elements, sixteen active channels and five Wilkinson power combiners with 4-channel inputs, a digital control board and a stabilizing DC bias board. The radiating element of the array has the structure of a microstrip stack patch with a left-hand circular polarization. And, each active channel consists of a low noise ampilifier, a 3-bit digital phase shifter and a variable analog attenuator. The breadboard of linear active phased array antenna was also fabricated to test the electrical performances. The radiation patterns of the antenna were measured after correcting initial phases of each active channel in aechoic chamber. And also, the beam scanning chracteristcs of $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ were measured.

This paper presents a theoretical approach for a modified turnstile antenna suitable for satellite communication in order to investigate the current distributions of radiators and radiation characteristics with equivalent model analysis. The proposed equivalent model is composed of an ideally horizontal dipole antenna and vertically loaded top-hat radiating elements. The required isoflux pattern with wide beamwidth has been achieved by attaching top-hat elements to the main radiators. In addition to illustrating radiation patterns, electrical performances like current distributions have been analyzed by mathematically manipulating the equations derived from the equivalent horizontal and vertical dipole model.

This paper describes a design for a RF receiver to receive satellite digital audio service. The RF receiver designed in this study is a planar structure that is easy to install on the rooftop of a car and is compact in size. In addition, it can be applied to certain commercial models because it has low noise and high gain characteristics. The impedance bandwidth of antenna is 17.8%(415MHz), and the axial ratio is below 3dB as good properties for the bandwidth of 40MHz which is a satellite digital audio service band. Also, it had a broad radiation beamwidth of $95.41^{\circ}$ in H-plane and $117.45^{\circ}$ in E-plane. From the results of the field test of satellite digital audio service reception for the RF receiver, it demonstrated good C/N rate(10.2dB).

In this paper, dielectric, drude model and ideal metamaterial are applied to core of A-Sandwich radome and each radome is analyzed using recursive method in Ku band. The main parameters of radome performance are insertion loss, insertion phase delay and depolarization. In case of ideal metamaterial, the radome using ideal metamaterial dose not generate depolarization because insertion loss, insertion phase delay and loss for incidence angle of wave do not happened. If circular polarization wave is incident on radome with meta material, transmitted wave also keeps circular polarization. In case of the dispersive metamaterial, the performance of radome using dispersive metamaterial is better than it of radome using dielectric in a part of frequency band. From these results, it is showed that metamaterial can be applied to various radome structure.

In this paper, a compact circularly polarized metamaterial patch antenna using the -1 mode that is induced by the composit right-left handed(CRLH) transmission line is proposed. Basically, since the -1 mode is the same properties with the +1 mode of the conventional patch antenna, the circular polarization(CP) is realized. If two orthogonal -1 modes are excited with $90^{\circ}$ phase difference, the CP property can be obtained. In order to obtain two orthogonal modes and $90^{\circ}$ phase difference, 4 mushroom structures having the shape of triangle are employed and the inter-digital gaps are optimized, respectively. The fabricated antenna is based on RT/duroid5880 substrate and the total area of the 4 mushrooms is $0.161{\lambda}_0{\times}0.161{\lambda}_0$. It is confirmed that the center frequency of the proposed antenna is measured as 2.845 GHz and it operates from 2.830 GHz to 2.850 GHz. In addition, the antenna maintains the CP property from 2.842 GHz to 2.847 GHz at the peak gain and the measured radiation efficiency is 46 %.

At the industrial work site, the manufacturing process is being automated to improve work efficiency. However, it is often difficult to automate the entire manufacturing process, and there are spaces in which workers there are constantly exposed to danger. To protect such workers from the danger, this paper studied a worker safety management system for the industrial work site which uses a location recognition system and which is based on the Ubiquitous-Wireless Sensor Network (U-WSN). Using wireless signals, the distance between two devices can be measured and the location of a worker can be calculated using triangularization in 3-D. But at the industrial work sites where there are a lot of steel and structures, errors occur due to signal reflection and multi-path, etc., which makes it difficult to get the accurate location. To address this problem the following was done: first, a circular polarization patch antenna appropriate to the work site was used to reduce the degree of error that may occur from the antenna emission pattern and the particular Line of Sight (LOS); second, a 3-D localization technique and a filtering algorithm were used to improve the accuracy of location determination. The developed system was tested by using it on a wharf crane to validate its accuracy and effectiveness. The proposed location recognition system is expected to contribute greatly in ensuring the safety of workers at industrial work sites.

In this paper, design of a microstrip-fed, Spidron fractal-shaped slot antenna with circular polarization is represented. The ground plane of the designed antenna has a slot that comprises seven right-angled triangle next to each other in a low. A reflector is placed at the bottom on microstrip feeding line to enhance the antenna gain. The optimized design was conducted by varying a length of the first right-angled triangle, location of feeding line, space between a substrate and a reflector. The proposed antenna was fabricated on a Taconic-RF35 substrate. The entire dimension of the fabricated antenna is $40{\times}40{\times}18.6mm^3$ and the reflector is 18.6 mm away from the ground plane. The measured gain of the fabricated antenna is 6.7 dBi at 4.3 GHz. The measured bandwidths of -10 dB reflection and 3 dB axial ratio are 41 % and 7.4 %, respectively.

This paper suggests the dielectric resonator antenna using LTCC process for mm-wave car radar system. In this paper, dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) operated in 76-77 GHz frequency band are designed. And, using the LTCC process, the structures of dielectric resonator with SRR (split ring resonator) inside and those of dielectric resonator with probe inside are suggested. Linear polarization antennas and circular polarization antenna are designed for the DRA with probe inside. Three kinds of the DRA antennas are designed and their characteristics are calculated using CST RF simulation tool. The designed antennas are fabricated and measured and the measured results are compared with calculated results. The measured operating frequencies of DRAs are within 76 GHz to 77 GHz, which are close to the calculated results, and the measured gains are about 8.15 dBi to 10.82 dBi.
