To develop wide-band noise absorbers with a special design for low-frequency performance, this study proposes a tin oxide (Sn-O) thin films as the noise absorbing materials in a microstrip line. Sn-O thin films were deposited on polyimide film substrates by reactive sputtering of the Sn target under flowing $O_{2}$ gas, exhibiting a wide variation of surface resistance (in the range of $10^{0}-10^{5}{\Omega}$) depending on the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. The microstrip line with characteristic impedance of $50\Omega$ was used for the measurement of noise absorption by the Sn-O films. The reflection parameter $(S_{11})$ increased with a decrease of surface resistance due to an impedance mismatch at the boundary between the film and the microstrip line. Meanwhile, the transmission parameter $(S_{21})$ diminished with a decrease of surface resistance resulting from an Ohmic loss of the Sn-O films. The maximum noise absorption predicted at an optimum surface resistance of the Sn-O films was about $150{\Omega}$. For this film, greater power absorption is predicted in the lower frequency region (about 70% at 1 GHz) than in conventional magnetic sheets of high magnetic loss, indicating that Ohmic loss is the predominant loss parameter for the conduction noise absorption in the low frequency band.

This paper presents an X-band (9.375 GHz) $1{\times}2$ array microstrip antenna which is capable of active beam compensation for installation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). First of all, a basic $1{\times}2$ array microstrip antenna incorporated with wilkinson power divider was designed and performance of the array antenna was verified. Next, to verify beam steering performance of the designed array microstrip antenna, we fabricated a phase shifter, and the wilkinson power divider as module structure and measured characteristics of beam steering according to phase shifting. The main lobe is 0.6 dBi at $0^{\circ}$, and the side lobe decreased 18.8 dB. The reliable radiation pattern was achieved. Finally, an active beam steering microstrip array antenna attached with the phase shifter and the power divider on the back side of the antenna was designed and fabricated to install wing of UAV for compactness. The maximum gain is 0.1 dBi. Therefore, we obtained a basic antenna technology for compensating beam error according to wing deformation of an UAV installed array antennas.

A small size broadband microstrip patch antenna with small ground plane has been fabricated using MEMS. Multiple layer substrates we used to realize small size and broadband characteristics. The microstrip patch is divided into 4 pieces and each patch is connected to each other using a metal microstrip line. The fabrication please process is simple and only one mask is needed. Two types of microtrip antennas are fabrication Type A is the microstrip antenna with metal lines and type B is the microstrip antenna without metal lines. The size of proposed microstip antenna is $8{\times}12{\times}2mm^3$ and the experimental results show that the antenna type A and type B have the bandwidth of 420MHz at 5.3 GHz and 480MHz at 5.66 GHz, respectively

마그네슘 합금은 낮은 비중의 경량화 금속 소재이며, 주로 주조 주조재 형태로 상당한 기간 활용되어 왔으며, 최근에는 포스코에서 AZ31 합금으로 판재를 생산하면서 판재상의 마그네슘 소재의 응용이 본격화되고 있다. 포스코에서 판재로 생산되는 합금은 AZ31합금이 주종이며, AZ61 합금의 경우도 일부 생산되고 있으며, 향후 다양한 합금의 판재의 개발이 진행될 예정이다. 마그네슘 합금은 화학적 활성이 커서 내식성 확보를 위한 표면처리가 필수적이며, 내식성의 확보가 상업적 적용을 위하여 필수적이다. 기존의 마그네슘 합금의 표면처리 방법은 주로 AZ91D의 다이캐스팅재에 집중되어 왔으며, 포스코에서 생산되는 AZ31의 스트립 캐스팅재의 표면처리는 합금의 차이로 인하여 새롭게 공정이 개발되어야 한다. 본 발표에서는 AZ31 판재를 이용한 표면처리에서 전처리 공정이 미치는 영향에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

밀리미터파 대역(30∼300GHz)의 전파에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 NRD(Non Radiative Dielectric)에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. NRD Guide 에서는 평행한 평판 전도체의 간격을 반 파장 이하로 좁게 함으로써 공기 영역에서는 차단 상태가 되고 유전체 내에서는 차단상태가 해소되어 밀리미터파의 신호가 방사되지 않고 전송 될 수 있는 특성을 가진다. 밀리미터 웨이브를 발진시키기 위해 밀리미터파 대역에서 쉽게 동작하고 비교적 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 Gunn 발진기의 발진소자인 Gunn Diode를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해 스트립 금속 공진기로 공진 주파수를 미조정하여 비방사유전체선로를 통한 밀리미터파 대역의 주파수특성을 분석하고 이러한 특성을 이용하여 60GHz 대역 송신기의 발진회로 설계를 다루었다.

마그네슘 합금은 상용 구조용 합금 중에서 비중이 1.74로 가장 낮아 경량화가 요구되는 분야에서 오랫동안 각광을 받아왔다. 그러나 마그네슘 합금은 상용 금속들 중에서 가장 화학적 활성이 커서 표면처리 후 내식성 확보가 필수적이다. 기존의 마그네슘 합금의 표면처리 방법은 주로 AZ91D의 다이캐스팅재에 집중되어 왔으며, 포스코에서 생산되는 AZ31의 스트립 캐스팅재의 표면처리는 합금의 차이로 인하여 공정이 새롭게 개발되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 화성처리 공정에서 AZ31, AZ61, AZ91D의 합금 차이에 의한 화성피막의 특성을 고찰하였다.

This paper presents a power detector circuit which monitors the transmitting power for the application in CDMA cell phones. The proposed power detector are composed of coupler for coupling output power and detector fur monitoring output power. The designed coupler has low loss characteristic because it adopts the stripline structure which consists of two ground planes at both sides of signal plane. The design frequency is 824-849MHz which is the Tx band fur CDMA mobile terminal, and the coupling factor of the stripline coupler is -20dB. A schottky barrier diode is adopted for detector design because of its high speed operation with minimized loss. The required impedance matching is performed to improve the linearity and sensitivity of output voltage at relatively low detector input level where the nonlinear characteristic of diode exists. The package parasitics as well as intrinsic diode model are considered for simulation of the detector. The predicted performances agree well with the measured results.

This paper presents a microstrip antenna which recovers its resonant frequency and impedance shifted automatically by the approach of other objects such as hands. This can be used for telemetry sensor applications in the ultrahigh frequency(UHF) industrial, scientific, and medical(ISM) band. It is the key element that an frequency-reconfigurable antenna could be electrically controlled. This antenna is miniaturized by loading the folded plates at both radiating edges, and varactor diodes are installed between the radiating edges and the ground plane to control the resonant frequency by adjusting the DC bias asymmetrically. Using this voltage-controlled antenna and the micro controller peripheral circuits of reading the returned level, the antenna is designed and fabricated which recovers its resonant frequency and impedance automatically. Designed frequency auto recovering antenna is conformed to be recovered within a few seconds when the resonant frequency and impedance are shifted by the approach of other objects such as hand, metal plate, dielectric and so on.

In this paper, a twice folded TEM horn antenna for 70 kV impulse high power system is proposed. The length reduction of 50 % is achieved by folding a conventional TEM horn antenna twice. The array elements are fed by the stripline power divider using the Chebyshev transformer. The power divider feeds four TEM horn antenna elements with an in-phased uniform power, and it covers a wide bandwidth ($150\;MHz\;{\sim}\;768\;MHz$, VSWR<2.0). Considering the air breakdown at peak 70 kV impulse, the proposed antenna maintains the 25 mm gaps between conducting plates. The dimension of the twice folded horn antenna is $1730\;{\times}\;1600\;{\times}\;300$ (mm3), and the operating frequency is from 152 MHz to 750 MHz under 10 dB return loss. The peak gains are measured from 6.77 dBi to 10.70 dBi at $400\;MHz\;{\sim}\;750\;MHz$.
