We propose a compact high-order(9th) UHF bandpass filter comprising the composite right-handed and left-handed(CRLH) zeroth-order resonators(ZORs) in the form of the three cascaded-triplets(CTs) newly applied to the ZOR filter which results in very steep skirt. The method is verified by circuit and EM simulations and measurement with metamaterial properties.

Electron whistlers frequently excite proton whistlers. The proton whistlers appear on the dynamic spectrum as rising tones, which start after the reception of a short electron whistler, asymptotically approaching the local proton gyro-frequency. The proton whistlers are dispersed forms of lightning impulses and their dispersion can be explained by the effects of heavy ions such as H+ and He+ on the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in the ionosphere. In the ionosphere, a right-handed circularly-polarized electron whistler becomes coupled to a left-handed circularly-polarized proton whistler when the frequency becomes close to a cross-over frequency. By adopting the multi-fluid numerical wave model, we examine how the mode coupling varies as the ion composition changes along altitude in the mid-latitude ionosphere. The time histories and dynamic spectra of electric fields are presented. In addition, we compare our results with the previous theoretical and observational studies.

TX/RX dual microstrip 1$\times$8 sub-array antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured for a wideband array antennas in communications. They have a Right Handed Circular Polarization (RHCP) for TX from 7.9 to 8.4 GHz and Left Handed Circular Polarization (LHCP) for RX from 7.25 to 7.75 GHz. Two stacked patches are used for a wideband characteristics and cornertruncated square patches are adopted for a circular polarization. To enhance bandwidth characteristics of a circular polarization, 1$\times$2 sequential rotation arrays are applied. From the measured results, 1$\times$8 microstrip sub-array antennas have a good agreement with those of the simulation. Therefore the sub-array antennas are applicable to satellite communication antennas, active phased array antennas, and radiators in other antennas.

By cascading RHTL (Right-Handed Transmission Line) and LHTL (Left-Handed Transmission Line), we fabricated a BPF (Band Pass Filter) in which the phase propagation at the pass band center frequency is fixed as we want. We utilized a positive phase propagation of a RHTL which is a form of LPF (Low Pass Filter) and negative phase propagation of LHTL which is a form of HPF (High Pass Filter). Therefore, if RHTL and LHTL are cascaded, a BPF can be constructed and the phase propagation inside the passband is decided by the number of RHTLs and LHTLs. In this paper, we provide a detailed theory related to it and proved the theory with an actual experiment. In the experiment, we fabricated two BPFs with similar passband. One with $90^{\circ}$ phase shift and the other with $-90^{\circ}$ phase shift at the center of passband. The result of simulation and actual experiment agrees well. This proves the suggested theory is correct and feasible.

The interference between closely placed co-coverage satellites was analyzed. In general, a satellite network may use different orthogonal polarizations and frequencies to increase the throughput of a satellite. However, when orthogonal linear polarization (horizontal polarization and vertical polarization) or orthogonal circular polarization (left-handed circular polarization and right-handed circular polarization) is used, the signal from one polarization sense to another may be coupled, resulting in cross-polarization interference. This signal-coupling arises due to the finite value of the cross-polarization discrimination of the earth station. In this study, field equations were used to analyze the interference between adjacent satellites using co-frequency. The level of interference was compared to that when two adjacent satellites used the same polarization. The simulation results show that the interference mainly depends on the off-axis co-polar pattern and the cross-polar pattern of the earth station antenna.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the influence of smartphone usage on the upper limb muscles while in stable and unstable positions and during gait. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The study was conducted with 20 right-handed university students between 20 and 27 years of age. Experiments were carried out on students who have used cell phones for more than a year. In this study, experiments were performed with one-handed and two-handed smartphone operations while on stable ground, and the same parameters were measured during smartphone use on unstable ground and during gait. Subjects were instructed to write a text message in Korean on the smartphone for 3 minutes. This was repeated 3 times, with a rest period of 10 seconds given between each 3-minute period. Electromyography was used to record the muscle activity of the upper trapezius, extensor carpi radialis, extensor pollicis longus, and abductor pollicis (AP) during phone operation. Results: The muscle activity value for the right AP in one-handed and the left-AP in two-handed operations was statistically higher than the other muscles in the stable position and during gait (p<0.0001). Also, the right AP in the one- handed operation condition was statistically higher than the two-handed condition (p<0.0001). Conclusions: The use of smartphones while in a stable position resulted in high muscle activity of the right upper limb AP. However, in an unstable position, there were no significant differences from the other muscle activities. Using smartphone while assuming various positions may lead to musculoskeletal disorders in different places.

Marchand 발룬의 평형 단자들의 임피던스 정합과 향상된 격리도 특성을 위한 소형 격리 회로를 설계하였다. 제안한 소형 격리 회로는 Composite Right/Left-Handed(CRLH) 전송선과 CRLH 전송선의 단위 셀을 이용한 소형 위상 반전기로 각각 구성된다. 또한, 이 소형 격리 회로에 대한 설계 방법을 제시하고 분석하였다. 기본적인 격리 회로의 크기인 $0.5{\lambda}_g$에 비해서 CRLH 전송선을 이용한 경우는 $0.11{\lambda}_g$로 소형 위상 반전기를 이용한 경우는 $0.07{\lambda}_g$로 각각 소형화 시켰다. 제안된 소형 격리 회로를 이용한 Marchand 발룬의 동작 주파수는 2.45 GHz이고, 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 composit right-left handed(CRLH) 전송 선로에서 발생하는 -1 모드를 이용하여 단일 급전을 갖는 소형 원형 편파 메타 물질 안테나를 제안한다. -1 모드는 일반적인 패치 안테나의 기본 모드인 +1 모드와 같은 성질을 가지고 있기 때문에, 원형 편파의 동작 원리를 동일하게 적용할 수 있다. 따라서 서로 수직하는 편파와 $90^{\circ}$의 위상차를 갖는 두 개의 -1 모드들을 이용하여 원형 편파 특성을 갖는 메타 물질 안테나의 설계가 가능하다. 두 개의 -1 모드를 얻기 위해서 삼각형의 형태를 갖는 4개의 버섯 구조를 이용하였고, 모드 간에 $90^{\circ}$의 위상차를 인가하기 위해서 삽입된 inter-digital gap의 크기를 최적화 하였다. 추가적으로 임피던스 매칭을 위해 coupled-fed 급전 구조를 사용하였다. 제안된 안테나의 4개로 배열된 버섯 구조의 면적은 $0.161{\lambda}_0{\times}0.161{\lambda}_0$이며, RT/duroid5880 기판에 설계되었다. 제작된 안테나의 중심 주파수는 2.845 GHz로 측정되었고, 2.830 GHz부터 2.850 GHz까지 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 2.842 GHz부터 2.847 GHz까지 원형 편파의 특성이 확인되었고, 방사 효율은 46 %로 측정되었다.
