In this paper, we present a frequency tunable and compact antenna which consists of a first-order Peano curve, two shorting posts, and two inductors which are serially connected between the posts and the edge of the Peano curve. By properly choosing the inductance of two inductors, the operating frequency of the antenna can be controlled without sacrificing the fractional bandwidth. To give good demonstration of the operating mechanism, the equivalent circuit of this antenna is included. To validate the simulation results, we have fabricated the several antennas of being integrated with different inductors, and the measured results show a good agreement with the simulated ones. The measured results reveal that the operating frequency is shifted from 1.47 GHz to 0.586 GHz without the decrease of the input impedance bandwidth. In case of integrating two inductors of 91nH and 470nH, the electric size of the antenna is only $0.0246 {\lambda}{\times}0.0246{\lambda}{\times}0.0114{\lambda}$. The measured fractional bandwidth$(S_{11}{\leq}-10 dB)$ and the radiation efficiency of the antenna are 5.22% and 47.25%, respectively.

In this paper, we introduce a modified short-circuited stub bandpass filter suitable for ultra-wideband(UWB) applications utilizing low temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) technology. By modifying the conventional short-circuited stub bandpass filter structure with stubs and connecting lines of lower characteristic impedances, the number of stubs has been reduced from 5 to 2 on a high dielectric constant substrate($\varepsilon_r$ = 40). A wireless local area network (WLAN) stopband in the frequency range of 5.15 to 5.825 GHz has been inserted into the filter characteristic using three short-circuited coupled lines. The filter has been measured with an insertion loss less than 1.0 dB and return loss better than 10 dB in the pass bands. A bandwidth ratio of 109.49 % has been achieved. Measurement results agree well with simulation results. The dimensions of the filter are $4{\times}8{\times}0.57\;mm^3$.

In this paper, we present a wideband patch antenna with folded and shorted structure for 5 GHz WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network). The proposed antenna used folded and shorted structure in the rectangular patch for miniaturization and wide frequency bandwidth. The antenna was designed by using 3D simulation program, HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) software of the Ansoft company and the implemented antenna was measured by using HP 8720c network analyzer and far field measurement chamber. Simulation result on the return loss shows fairly good characteristic of at least 13.41dB in whole frequency range of interests, and the 10dB bandwidth is 1,523MHz which shows wide bandwidth characteristic. And the simulated maximum gain of the proposed antenna is 6.57 dBi at 5.825GHz. Measured result for the 10dB bandwidth of the implemented folded and shorted structure antenna is 1,377 MHz. Measured maximum gain of the implemented antenna is 6.87dBi at 5.775GHz. Measured results for the implemented antenna showed applicable performances for the 5 GHz WLAN.

In this paper, we proposed a compact arbitrary dual-band band-stop filter using CRLH transmission line. The proposed filter used CRLH transmission line as stub and it developed dual-band band-stop characteristics using non-linear phase response of CRLH transmission line. The size of proposed filter is compact. And it can control arbitrary dual stop band. In this paper, designed band-stop filter at GPS band and ISM band As result, the S(2,1) is about -30dB at GPS band and about -29dB at ISM band. The fabricated filter is very compact. Its dimension is 10mm*15mm.

In this paper, a interdigital microstrip bandpass filter is designed. A interdigital microstrip bandpass filter has many advantages such as insertion return loss, lower return loss, higher frequency selectivity and smaller in size in comparison with the conventional coupled line filter. A interdigital microstrip bandpass filter consists of quasi TEM-mode strip line resonators between parallel ground plant. Each resonator element is a quarter wavelength long of the center frequency and is short circuited at one end and open circuited at the other end. In the filter design, Ensemble software is used. Experimental results show that the bandwidth of interdigital microstrip bandpass filter is 2.52GHz, insertion loss is -1.8dB and return loss is -17.0dB at 11.20Hz.

This paper describes a technique that can predict electric fires by detecting a spark signal generated from operation of electric facilities. An electric fire lead a loss of life as well as huge property, therefore it is very Important to predict an electric fire and eliminate the causes of it. Electrical spark which is ranked as majority causes of electric fires has a characterized frequency bandwidthdistinguishedfrompowerfrequenry. In the experiment, various spark signals are simulated in a condition such as short circuit, flashover and surface discharge. The results showed that the monitoring of spark signals can predict electric fires.

This paper describes a technique that can predict electric fires by detection of discharge voltage signals caused by the use of electric facilities. In the experiment, various discharge modes, a flashover or a surface discharge through insulation paper and a line to line short, were simulated to acquire electrical information for predicting electrical fire as discharge modes. From the experimental results, it is hewn that electorial discharges which are ranked as majority causes of electric fires generate characterized signals distinguished from power frequency. Finally. We designed a prototype discharge detector based on the experimental results, and the detector is applied to a power lines. This study showed that the prediction of electric fires is possible by monitoring discharge voltage signals in electric power lines.

The effects of Ti addition in welding wire on the spatter generation and the droplet transfer phenomena were investigated. With increasing Ti content the spattering rate was decreased but the ratio of large size spatter (D $\geq$ 1. 0mm) was increased in both short circuit and globular transfer mode of $CO_2$welding. In short circuit transfer region, the arcing time was increased and the droplet transfer frequency was decreased with increasing Ti content In globular transfer region, the transition current and voltage to globular transfer was lowered and the welding condition region for stable globular transfer was widened with increasing Ti content.

전력계통은, 발전기, 변압기, 모선, 선로등을 주요소로 한 많은 설비요소로 구성되며, 이들이 일체로 되어 하나의 안정상태를 유지하면서 운용되고 있다. 전력계통 구성요소중, 특히 가공선로는 지역적으로 널리 분포되어 있으므로, 뢰, 풍우, 염분 등 자연 현상의 영향을 받아 단락, 지락등 계통사고 발생이 불가피하며, 또 다른 구성요소들도 각각 고유한 사고형태와 사고빈도를 가지고 있다. 보호방식은 이들 각종 설비에 사고가 발생하였을 때에, 신속히 사고설비를 계통에서 제거하여, 사고 전류의 계속으로 인한 설비손상을 방지하는 것을 그 기본목표의 하나로 하고 잇다. 그러나 사고발생은 단지 설비의 손상을 가져올 뿐만 아니라, 하나의 안정상태를 유지하고 운용되고 있는 전력계통 전체에 대해서, 이 안정을 무너뜨리는 방아쇠로 작용하며, 사고의 계속, 또는 사고제거에 따른 계통구성의 급변등은 주파수의 저하, 계통탈조, 설비과부하등으로 파급되어 전계통 붕괴로 확대될 가능성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 경향은 전원의 원격화와 집중대용량화, 선로조류의 증가등으로, 계통이 복잡화함에 따라 더 증대하고 있다. 이러한 배경을 바탕으로 하여 보호방식의 책무는, 종전의 설비보호 위주에서 사고파급방지에 의한 계통보호(protection for power system disturbance)로 그 중점목적이 옮겨가고 있으며, 이 사고 파급방지보호장치를 계통안정화장치라고도 한다.
