In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the wideband beamforming in a conformal phased array antenna by compensating the errors. For the wideband beamforming, we used the True Time Delay(TTD), which was fabricated on the RF circuit board to obtain long delay lines. Beamforming errors in the conformal array antenna are the mutual coupling between the array elements, the dispersive error in the TTD circuit, and the quantization error by the digital control. We apply the compensation algorithm to the conformal phased array antenna of wideband 2~4 GHz, and verify the usefulness by comparing the results with the experiment results.

Recently, by the increasing of data transmission rates, PCB is required high-speed data transmission rates and thin packaging. So optical PCB which is the combination of electrical layer and optical layer can be one of the solution to overcome the limitations of conventional electrical PCB. The most important factor in the implementation of optical PCB is optical interconnection. So the research on high-efficiency and passive alignment has been active. In this paper, we suggest built-in lens pluggable waveguide and we simulate its coupling efficiency and structural stability. Optical simulation results show that the proposed structure has higher efficiency than no lens structure about 1.86 times in transmitter and about 1.42 times in receiver. In structure simulation, inner lens has no damage in desorption process. Therefore, we shown that the proposed structure has a high coupling efficiency and structural stability.

Minimization techniques are adaptations of Helical structure, Meta material, multi-layer structure etc. But, Helical structure is not suited to minimization technique of RF circuit having single resonant frequency. Because it generate resonant frequency following as rotation of circumference. Meta material and multi layer structure have weakness of expenditure and complex structure. In addition, conventional three dimensional M$\ddot{o}$bius Strip and planar M$\ddot{o}$bius Strip are not two dimensional planar M$\ddot{o}$bius Strip that has weakness of electrical coupling effect. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed miniaturized and reduced electrical coupling effect antenna by adaptation of Quasi M$\ddot{o}$bius Strip that topology is same as three dimensional M$\ddot{o}$bius Strip with Via-Hole structure. According to the simulation result, physical circumferential length is 1/3 minimized compared with conventional ring antenna under the same resonant frequency. In addition, coupling effect is not nearly generates near to the resonant frequency, 2.4GHz.

This paper discusses how to implement and verify a software model of the digital relay that can be added to real time digital simulator(RTDS) model library and is then subjected to the same outputs as the actual relay. The software model is stand-alone and can be used with real relays. It is also possible to conduct interactive real-time tests when the system effects of the relay action need to be investigated. The characteristics of mho type and the quadrilateral type, which is commonly used in recently developed relays, are modeled in this paper. Single circuit line and double circuit line system are used for model verification. The transmission lines are each 100 km in length and are modeled as distributed parameter lines but not frequency dependent. The transmission lines in the single circuit system are modeled as ideally transposed line. The mutual coupling data with the parallel line was taken account in the transmission lines for the double circuit system. The main CTs and PTs are included and operated in their linear region during the tests. For the purpose of testing the relay model accuracy the faults have been applied at various points on the protected line. Its accuracy is assessed against theoretical values.

We have developed a novel driving system of 5' true color FED using voltage controlled PWM method which has current control effect. The proposed method has the advantage of voltage controlled pulse width modulation method and current control method. Also, we propose a new circuit model of FED subpixel for circuit simulation of FED driving circuits, considering some parasitic effects, i.e., cross talk, line coupling effect and leakage current to the adjacent cathode lines. Output stage of the data driving circuit is optimized using the proposed circuit model. In video data processing, FED controller uses the parallel processing of R.G.B input data, so duty ratio is maximized and brightness of FED increases. With this results, no noise and high quality performance is achieved in display of 5' true color FED.

In this paper, we implemented and analyzed a wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a CSPR topology. CSPR refers to constant current source, series resonance circuit topology of a transmitting coil, parallel resonance circuit topology of a receiving coil, and pure resistive loading. The transmitting coil is coupled by a magnetic field to the receiving coil without wire. Although the electromotive force (emf) is small (about 4.5V), the voltage on load resistor is 148V, because a parallel resonance scheme was adopted for the receiving coil. The implemented WPT system is designed to be able to transfer up to 1 kW power and can operate a LED TV. Before the implementation, the EMF reduction mechanism based on the use of ferrite and a metal shield box was confirmed by an EM simulation and we found that the EMF can be suppressed dramatically by using this shield. The operating frequency of the implemented WPT system is 30.7kHz and the air gap between two coils is 150mm. The power transferred to the load resistor is 147W and the real power transfer efficiency is 66.4 %.

The X-band 10${\times}$10 waveguide slot array antenna for SAR is designed, fabricated and measured. The array antenna is designed using the equivalent circuit model based on the field distribution of the dominant mode, TE$\sub$10/, and EM simulation. The method to decide optimum angle of the centered inclined slot(coupling slot) and the optimum of offset of the longitudinal slot(radiating slot) is provided. The designed antenna structure is EM simulated and fabricated. The measured return loss bandwidth is 180 MHz at 9.15 GHz , the side lobe level is below -25 dB, HPBW is about 9$^{\circ}$, and the gain is 25.5 dB. These results are similar to the simulation data.

In this paper, two new circuit structures for European and U.S. ultra-wide band(UWB) bandpass filters(BPFs) with sharp roll-off characteristics are introduced. We show first that the ultra-wide bandpass property is obtained from a $\lambda$/4 open T resonator with a capacitively coupled $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line, which provides two attenuation poles at lower and upper cutoff frequencies. Then, two identical capacitively coupled input/output lines, which can be $\lambda$/4-length open ends or $\lambda$/2-length short ends, with the T-resonator, are adopted to suppress lower and higher frequency components outside of the pass band. There is coupling between the input and output lines providing two additional transmission zeros in the lower and upper transition bands of the filter. Since the coupling between the T-resonator with the $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line and the input/output lines limits the bandwidth of the filter to the European UWB band, both the $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line and the input/output lines are inserted between the two stacked T-resonators for the U.S. UWB band. The filter structures are simulated with ADS and HFSS and realized with low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) green tape which has the dielectric constant of 7.8. Measurement results agree well with HFSS simulation results.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) based on magnetic resonant coupling is a promising technology in many industrial applications. Efficiency of the WPT system usually depends on the tilt angle of the transmitter or the receiver coil. This work analyzes the effect of the tilt angle on the efficiency of the WPT system with horizontal misalignment. The mutual inductance between two coils located at arbitrary positions with tilt angles is calculated using a numerical analysis based on the Neumann formula. The efficiency of the WPT system with a tilted coil is extracted using an equivalent circuit model with extracted mutual inductance. By analyzing the results, we propose an optimal tilt angle to maximize the efficiency of the WPT system. The best angle to maximize the efficiency depends on the radii of the two coils and their relative position. The calculated efficiencies versus the tilt angle for various WPT cases, which change the radius of RX ($r_2=0.075m$, 0.1 m, 0.15 m) and the horizontal distance (y=0 m, 0.05 m, 0.1 m), are compared with the experimental results. The analytically extracted efficiencies and the extracted optimal tilt angles agree well with those of the experimental results.

In this paper, Passive Telemerty RF Sensor System using Unscented Kalman Filter algorithm(UKF) is proposed. General Passive Telemerty RF Sensor System means that it should be "wireless", "implantable" and "batterless". Conventional Passive Telemerty RF Sensor System adopts Integrated Circuit type, but there are defects like complexity of structure and limit of large power consumption in some cases. In order to overcome these kinds of faults, Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System based on inductive coupling principle is proposed in this paper. Because passive components R, L, C have stray parameters in the range of high frequency such as about 200[KHz] used in this paper, Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System considering stray parameters has to be derived for accurate model identification. Proposed Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System is simple because it consists of R, L and C and measures the change of environment like pressure and humidity in the type of capacitive value. This system adopted UKF algorithm for estimation of this capacitive parameter included in nonlinear system like Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System. For the purpose of obtaining learning data pairs for UKF Algorithm, Phase Difference Detector and Amplitude Detector are proposed respectively which make it possible to get amplitude and phase between input and output voltage. Finally, it is verified that capacitive parameter of proposed Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System using UKF algorithm can be estimated in noisy environment efficiently.
