This paper presents analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports and the discontinuity at every junction are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized, which make suppress output ripple through the array ports. Impedance matching and mutual coupling between ports are analyzed and optimized using 12 input and 12 output exponential tapers. The measured results of fabricated lens show ${\pm}$ 1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6∼18 GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$over ${\pm}$53$^{\circ}$angle and agrees well with the analysis results.

Notch Antenna is a travelling wave type antenna and can provide multioctave operation in phased arrays that scan over wide angle. In this paper, we designed a wideband E-plane phased array antenna using E-plane waveguide simulator which has a bandwidth of 3 : 1 and a scan volume of $\pm$45$^{\circ}$ in E-plane. We compared impedance of single antenna and infinite array antenna using equivalent circuit modeling. We analyzed full structure of 1$\times$9 phased array antenna and we evaluated active reflection coefficient with variation of beam scan angle through mutual coupling coefficient acquired from simulation and investigated the variation of antenna gain with variation of active element pattern as beam scan angle is varied.

Sheath circulating current is increased in the change of sheath mutual impedance which is caused by unbalanced cable system, and different section length between joint boxes. If excessive current flows in sheath, sheath loss which is reduced the transmission capacity is produced. Recently, excessive sheath circulating current was partially measured in underground cable systems of KEPCO. Accordingly, actual schemes to reduce excessive sheath circulating current are urgently required for installed cable system as well as newly-installing cable systems. This paper describes the relation analysis of sheath circulating current and burying types. And also, various schemes to reduce excessive circulating current using EMTP/ATPDraw and applicable schemes are proposed through a detailed analysis regarding cable systems by considering various electrical and environmental factors. It is evaluated that the proposed reduction schemes can be effectively applied to reduce the excessive sheath circulating current with the minimized electrical problems. And reduction effect is Proved with sheath circulating current reduction equipment.

Sheath circulating current results from the change of sheath mutual impedance which is caused by unbalanced cable system, and different section length between joint boxes. If circulating over current flows in sheath, it produces much sheath loss which reduces the transmission capacity. And also such large sheath current influences severely on the operator. Recently, large sheath circulating current was partially measured in underground cable system of KEPCO. Accordingly, actual schemes to reduce sheath circulating over current is urgently required for installed cable system as well as newly-constructing cable system. This paper describes the analysis of sheath circulating current and various schemes to reduce the large circulating current in case of operating cable system using EMTP/ATPDraw. And also, possible schemes are proposed through a detailed analysis regarding cable systems by considering various electrical and environmental factors. It is evaluated that the proposed reduction schemes can be effectively applied to reduce the large sheath circulating over current with the minimized electrical problems.

This paper discussed on the impedance analysis of the planar air core inductors having spiral pattern and meander pattern. The width and distance of conductor, and number of turns were varied. As the width of conductor increased, both resistance and inductance decreased and there existed an maximum value in Q for spiral pattern. But Q increased with increasing width of conductor in meander pattern. In spiral pattern, there existed a distance between conductors where inductance became constant and Q became maximum, while the distance between conductors must be as large as possible to obtain large Q because the mutual inductance of meander pattern inductor has negative sign due to opposite current direction at adjacent conductor. Resistance and inductance increased with increasing the number of turns. There existed maximum Q at certain number of turns in spiral pattern. But Q became small in the meander pattern because increase of resistance was larger than increase of inductance with increasing number of turns.

A synthesized isotropic pattern antenna can be realized by arrangeing $\lambda$/ 2 dipole along each x, y, z axis. The sleeve type $\lambda$/ 2 dipole antenna is used as a basic element for a proper impedance matching at feeding point and minimum mutual coupling effect between each element at 820 MHz - 895 MHz band. The total electric field intensity radiated from the designed isotropic pattern antenna is drived from the magnetic vector potential which is produced by each sleeve $\lambda$/ 2 dipole in the far field. This total electric field intensity is inversely proportional only to distance $\gamma$from the origin of coordinates, and pattern factor variation is less than 2.1dB. The measured value of total electric field variation depending on pattern factor is less then 2.8dB, and the difference between the calculated and measured value is 0.7dB.

In this paper, a new high-frequency equivalent circuit model of printed spiral coils (PSCs) for radio-frequency interference (RFI) measurement has been proposed. To achieve high-frequency modeling, the proposed model consists of distributed components designed based on the design parameters of the PSCs. In addition, an analytic model for PSCs based on T-pi conversion has been proposed. To investigate the feasibility of the proposed model for RFI measurement, the transfer function between a microstrip line and a PSC has been extracted by combining the proposed model and mutual inductance. The self-impedances of the proposed model and the transfer function have been successfully validated using three-dimensional field simulation and measurements, revealing noticeable correlations up to a frequency of 6 GHz. The proposed model can be employed for high-frequency probe design and RFI noise estimation in the gigahertz range wireless communication bands.

This paper is based on the triangular inset patch antenna as the basic structure, and the array structure is the twin tree form to improve the antenna's main lobe gain and reduce the side lobe gain. A twin tree structure was implemented by placing two identical trees of 2-4-6 arrays of triangular inset patches side by side. The parametric analysis confirmed that the gap between tree structures arranged side by side is most effective for impedance matching. The fabricated antenna has a gain of 16.74 dBi at 24.15 GHz, and the beam width of the main lobe is 22° in the E-plane and 6° in the H-plane. The antenna size was 125 mm × 50 mm, and a Taconic TLC substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.2 was used. Although the main lobe gain is improved over the twin tree structure, The directivity in the beam pattern due to the mutual interference of the two tree array structure can be improved.

A simple closed form approximation is developed by a new approach presented in this paper for the microstrip surface dyadic Green's function which arises in the problem of an electric current point source on an infinite planar grounded dielectric substrate. This closed form approximation includes the effects of the space wave, the surface wave and their coupling within the transition region near the source, and remains accurate as near as $0.1{\pi}_1$ from the source point for a substrate thickness as large as $0.04{\pi}_1$, where, ${\pi}_1$, is the free space wavelength, This result can significantly facilitate the rigorous moment method analysis of microstrip antenna arrays on relatively this substrates of practical interest. Numerical results illustrating the accuracy of the closed form approximation are presented and CPU times associated with some mutual impedance calculations are also included.

We investigated the quench characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) according to the number of the superconducting elements at the subtractive polarity winding of a transformer. The flux-lock type SFCL consists of the transformer with a primary winding and two secondary windings connected in parallel, and the superconducting element was connected with secondary winding in series, respectively. The applied voltage at that tin was 200V. when two superconducting elements of the secondary winding was connected in parallel, the peak lie current increased up to 99A, while that flowing in a superconducting element in conventional flux-lock type SFCL showed 50A under the same conditions, the impedance of secondary winding under the same situation showed the opposite behavior. This enabled the parallel structure to be easy to increase the capacity of power system, in the meantime, The quench between two superconducting elements in the SFCL with two secondary windings connected in parallel was achieved simultaneously. While the quench-starting point was slightly different in the SFCL with two superconducting elements connected in series. We found that the parallel connection between the secondary windings increased the power capacity and let quench characteristics improve through their mutual linkage.
