In this paper, a high-power 20-way stripline power divider with low insertion loss and low side lobe level is successfully designed, fabricated and measured as a feed network for an S-band linear array antenna having Dolph-Chebyshev current distribution which has a narrow beam width and very low side lobe level (SLL). The 20-way stripline power divider consists of an 8-way power divider, three 4-way power dividers and three ring hybrids. It utilizes a T-junction structure as a basic element for power dividing. Notches and modified input/output N-to-stripline transitions are used for improving insertion loss and return loss. The fabricated power divider shows insertion loss less than 0.3 ㏈ and rms phase mismatch less than 8o in the full bandwidth. A final 40-way power divider is synthesized by combining symmetrically two 20-way power dividers and is expected to have SLL over 40 dB, based on the measured results of the 20-way power divider.

In this paper, the E-polarized electromagnetic scattering problems by a resistive strip grating with tapered resistivity on 3 dielectric layers are analyzed to find out the effects for the tapered resistivity of resistive strip and the relative permittivity and thickness of 3 die- lectric layers by applying the Fourier-Galerkin moment methods. The induced surface current density is expanded in a series of Jacobi-polynomial ${P^{(\chi,\beta)}}_p$(.) of the order $\alpha$= 0 and $\beta$=1 as a kind of orthogonal polyomians, and the tapered resistivity assumes to vary linearly from 0 at one edge to finite resistivity at the other edge. The normalized reflected and transmitted powers are obtained by varying the tapered resistivity and the relative permittivity and thickness of dielectric layers. The sharp variation points are observed when the higher order modes are transferred between propagating and evanescent modes, and in general the local minimum positions occur at less grating period for the more relative permittivity of dielectric layers. It should be noted that the patterns of the normalized reflected and transmitted powers for the tapered resistivity are very much different from those of the uniform resistivity and perfectly conducting cases. The proposed method of this paper cna solve the scattering problems for the tapered resistive, uniform resistive, and PEC strip cases.

This study performed the quality improvement of a red dot sight for a 40 mm grenade launcher through parallax reduction. The red dot sight cited in this study is currently in mass production for military use as a non-weapon system. While the red dot sight's parallax currently meets requirements, slightly greater error was observed on the outside of effective optical area of the reflection lens compared to other sights. Parallax is easily affected by eye movement, which can result in aiming error. To improve the red dot sight's quality, this study analyzed why parallax is observed in the effective optical area of the reflection lens and how to reduce it. As a result, the red dot sight demonstrated lower parallax error using the new optical system design with an increased reflection lens thickness and modified components configuration related to the reflection lens assembly. Parallax was calculated and simulated by using a particular program to verify that it decreased. This improvement for the 40 mm. grenade launcher red dot sight more than satisfies requirements, offers advanced capabilities for users, and as a result, successful operation carryout.

In this paper, a design method of multiple n-way low loss power divider for x-band is propossed. To decrease loss, only two-stages of transmission lines are used with isolation resistors for match. Ex- perimental results for 3-way and 4-way power dividers have the divided power of 5.54~6.17dB and 6.76~7.37 dB, the return loss of more than 17dB and 12dB, and the isolation of more than 18dB and 10dB at center frequency, respectively, The measured results show good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

This paper describes a high power amplifier combining eight low power amplifiers using a radial power combiner with low insertion loss. The radial power combiner is a non-resonant type combiner with 8 input ports and is implemented by microstrip transmission line. The combiner characteristics designed at operating frequency of 1.045 GHz have an insertion loss of 0.7 dB and a return loss of more than 12 dB. Also, the low power amplifier used was designed with AFT27S010NT1 transistor and designed to satisfy the same gain, phase and constant output characteristic at operating frequency. The high power amplifier, which combiners the radial power combiner and the drive amplifier of 8 W output by driving low power amplifiers obtained the output characteristic of 33 W at operating frequency of 1.045 GHz. Also, the change of the output characteristic of the amplifier using the radial combiner was graceful degradation when the low power amplifier failed one by one.

In this paper, the high efficiency Doherty power amplifier has been designed and realized for microwave applications. The Doherty amplifier has been implemented using silicon MRF 281 LDMOS FET. The RF performances cf the Doherty power amplifier (a combination of a class AB carrier amplifier and a bias-tuned class C peaking amplifier) have been compared with those of a class AB amplifier alone. The realized Doherty power amplifier P1dB output power has 33dBm at 2.3GHz frequency. Also the Doherty power amplifier shows 11dB gain and -17.8dB input return loss at 2.3GHz to 2.4GHz. The designed Doherty amplifier has been improved the average PAE by 10% higher efficiency than a class AB amplifier alone. The Maximum PAE of designed Doherty power amplifier has been 39%.

Because solar panels of normal satellites are faced to the sun, the power generation by the Earth Albedo is almost neglected in satellite's power analysis. However, many cubesats don't have deployable solar panels and in this case the Earth Albedo is not negligible because solar panels are in six sides facing different directions. In this paper, we calculated satellite's power generation by the Earth Albedo. We divided the Earth's surface into grids based on polar coordinate system. We modeled power generation in each solar cell by reflection on these grids. We simulated 1 U cubesat which flies in sun synchronous orbit and 500 km altitude so that we calculated satellite's power generation by the Earth Albedo.

차량 탑재 FM 수신용 전 방향성 루프 안테나를 개발하였다. 2개의 수직 루프를 90도 교차하고, 1개의 수평 루프와 결합함으로써 전 방향 특성을 가질 수 있다. 또한 수직 및 수평편파 모두를 박기 때문에 도심 등 주위 환경변화에 따른 편파 다이버시티 현상도 제거한 수 있다. 10cm 직경의 19회 감긴 각 루프를 정합시키고 증폭하여, 90도 이상기와 함께 결합한 안테나를 개발하였다. FM 대역인 88-108MHz 대역에서 측정된 반사특성 및 패턴은 이론치와 잘 맞고 있으며, 기존 whip안테나 보다 평균 4dB 향상된 수신전력 특성을 보이고 있다.
