In this paper, we studied a design method for a coplanar waveguide-fed compact quasi-Yagi antenna for a dual band of the UHF RFID (915 MHz) and GPS (1.575 GHz). The proposed antenna is composed of three elements of a dipole, a reflector, and a director. To reduce its size, the ends of both the dipole and reflector are bent, the director is placed near to the dipole, and a balun is incorporated in the antenna. From some simulations, the proposed antenna using an FR4 substrate with 0.8 mm thickness was designed for the operations in the UHF RFID and GPS systems, and the antenna characteristics such as reflection coefficient, gain, and radiation patterns were examined.

This paper describes the mathematical modeling method for the static magnetic field signature generated by a magnetic scale model. we proposed the equivalent dipole modeling method utilizing a singular value decomposition technique from magnetic field signatures by magnetic sensors are located special depths below the scale model. The proposed dipole modeling method was successfully verified through comparisons with the real measured values in our non-magnetic laboratory. Using the proposed method, it is possible to predict and analyze static magnetic field distributions at any difference depths generated from the real ships as well as a scale model ship.

Quantum effects in the poly-gate are analyzed in two dimensions using the density-gradient method, and their impact on the short-channel effect of double-gate MOSFETs is investigated. The 2-D effects of quantum mechanical depletion at the gate to sidewall oxide is identified as the cause of large charge-dipole formation at the corner of the gate. The bias dependence of the charge dipole shows that the magnitude of the dipole peak-value increases in the subthreshold region and there is a large difference in carrier and potential distribution compared to the classical solution. Using evanescent-nude analysis, it is found that the quantum effect in the poly-gate substantially increases the short-channel effect and it is more significant than the quantum effect in the Si film. The penetration of potential contours into the poly-gate due to the dipole formation at the drain side of the gate corner is identified as the reason for the substantial increase in short-channel effects.

This paper describes a design for linear polarization antenna using the EMCD (electromagnetically coupled dipole). The analysis and the design of model antennas are conducted by FDTD method. Vertical and horizontal linear polarizations are easily obtained by variation of dipole position. In 1-element antenna design, mutual coupling between microstrip feed line and radiator is considered. Design parameters of each 1-element antenna with vertical and horizontal polarization are used for array design. Radiation power and main beam tilting angle can be controlled by the offset and the distance between radiating elements in an array, respectively. 5-element array antennas are fabricated and measured to prove the design validity. The results of FDTD simulation and measurement show the reasonable agreement.

This paper describes a potential-based panel method for the prediction of steday performance of a marine propeller operating in a uniform oncoming flow. An integral equation with unknown dipole strengths is formulated by distributing the normal dipoles and/or sources on the blade and hub surfaces and the wake sheet, and is solved numerically upon discretization. A hyperboloidal panel has been adopted to compute the potential induced by a normal dipole on a non-planar quadrilateral panel. The Kutta condition is satisfied by iteratively annulling the pressure jumps at the trailing edge. Extensive convergence tests are carried out, and the influence of the wake model upon performance is studied. Predicted performance is shown to correlate well with the experiments.

In this papar, we have proposed a small electronically steerable parasitic array radiator with 180 degree azimuth beam coverage and high gain characteristics. The proposed antenna is composed of a uniplanar Yagi dipole as a feeding element and two dipoles as parasitic elements. The fabricated antenna is tested by electronically changing the reactance loaded on the parasitic dipoles and the results show that it has 5.2dB~6.7dB gain in $-90^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$wide azimuth range and -10dB return loss characteristics within 5.725GHz~5.825GHz UNII band.

In this paper, we theoretically examine the characteristics of an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) constructed of a perfect electric conductor and a normal material having permittivity ε_r, permeability μ_r, and thickness L. First, we derived rigorous equations to describe the infinite AMC structure. Then, we studied how the AMC's characteristics are affected by changes in ε_r, μ_r and L. The operating center frequency exhibiting a 0° reflection coefficient phase occurs when L is one quarter of a guide wavelength. Therefore, the AMC thickness can be reduced by using a material having a high product of ε_r and μ_r. As the ratio μ_r/ε_r increases, the bandwidth of the AMC increases (maximum value: 200 %), and its operating frequency decreases. We also find out he bandwidth of the AMC is improved by introducing a loss in the material. To validate the AMC, we design a dipole antenna on the AMC and demonstrate a relationship between AMC phase and dipole antenna's operating frequency by investigating the dipole on the AMC with different pairs of ε_r and μ_r.

In this paper, bandwidth improvement of a series-fed two dipole array(STDA) antenna applicable for mobile communication base station antennas is studied. The proposed STDA antenna consists of two strip dipole antennas with different lengths which are connected directly trough a coplanar stripline(CPS). By adjusting the spacing between the two dipoles and the length of the second dipole, the bandwidth of the STDA can be enhanced. In addition, an integrated balun composed of a short-circuited microstrip line and a slot line is utilized to minimize the area required for a feeding part, and a broadband impedance matching is obtained by adjusting the feeding point. Based on the proposed antenna structure, an STDA antenna covering the frequency band ranging from 1.75 GHz to 2.7 GHz, which includes almost all the existing mobile communication frequency bands, with more than 5 dBi gain is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6mm, and experimentally tested. The fabricated antenna shows impedance bandwidth of 49%(1.7-2.8 GHz) for VSWR<2, a gain higher than 5.5 dBi, and a front-back ratio better than 12 dB.

In this study, an active element pattern (AEP) of a printed dipole was analyzed in 1D and 2D arrays. First, an AEP of the printed dipole was obtained using the simulation in the 2D infinite array. The scan blindness in the 2D array occurred in the E-plane direction at around ${\pm}36^{\circ}$; however, it was barely observed in the 1D array. To analyze the cause of the scan blindness in the 2D array, the dispersion properties of a unit cell was obtained and compared with the scan blindness by frequency change. The difference between the scan blindness of the 1D and 2D arrays was clarified using the comparison of the Q value in the unit cell in the 1D and 2D arrays. Then, the coupling of the electric field in the E-plane direction was observed when nine elements were separated between the two ports in a linearly arranged dipole structure. Finally, the printed dipole array was fabricated, and an AEP was measured for the $11{\times}1$ and $11{\times}3$ sub arrays. The proposed theory was verified using these observations and by comparison with the simulation results.

In this paper, gain enhancement of a double dipole quasi-Yagi antenna using a meanderline array structure was studied. A 4×1 meanderline array structure consisting of a meanderline conductor- shaped unit cell is located above the second dipole of the double dipole quasi-Yagi antenna. It was designed to have gain over 7 dBi in the frequency range between 1.70 and 2.70 GHz in order to compare the performance with the case using a conventional strip director. As a result of comparison, the average gain of the double dipole quasi-yagi antenna with the proposed meander line array structure was larger compared to the case with the conventional strip director. A double dipole quasi-Yagi antenna using the proposed meanderline array structure was fabricated on an FR4 substrate and its characteristics were compared with the simulation results. Experiment results show that the frequency band for a VSWR less than 2 was 1.55-2.82 GHz, and the frequency band for gain over 7 dBi was measured to be 1.54-2.83 GHz. The frequency bandwidth with gain over 7 dBi increased, and average gain also slightly increased, compared to the conventional case using a strip director.
