The current blood control system is using barcode and scanning one by one to manage blood bags. To have better management and accuracy, an RFID BIS (blood information system) is implemented with an UHF RFID tag antenna using a reflecter for a blood bag has been used.. The UHF RFID tag for blood bag, attached on the high permittivity blood, is designed and fabricated. The tag antenna is optimized and fabricated with the simulation tests such as the existence and nonexistence of the reflector, various distance between the reflector and the dipole tag, the different widths of the reflector and the existence and nonexistence of the T-matching structure. The characteristics and the reading range patterns of the tag antennas are measured. The BIS is implemented with the new tag design.

In this paper, a multimode feed horn antenna is suggested for a high power microwave(HPM) antenna system. The proposed HPM feed horn antenna which is connected with a mode converter is located between source and reflector antenna. A multimode feed horn antenna which has reduced -25 dB beamwidth is designed and fabricated for miniaturization of reflector antenna because -25 dB beamwidth which is determined by considering spillover of feed horn antenna decides a size of reflector in case of HPM. As a result, feed system which uses the multimode feed horn antenna has high gain about 27 dBi and return loss is less than -22 dB at 10 GHz. The measured -25 dB beamwidths of the radiation pattern at vertical, horizontal-plane equal to $20.24^{\circ},\;28.92^{\circ}$ which is less than about $10^{\circ}$ beamwidth of conventional feed system. Thus the suggested feed hem antenna is suitable to feed horn for miniaturization of HPM antenna system.

The performance of antenna reflectors crucially depends on the faceting error of the surface. The force density method (FDM) has been widely used for the form-finding analysis of the cable nets of reflectors. However, after performing form-finding of some cable nets, the effective reflective area will decrease. In addition, nonlinear deformations of the cable can not be achieved by using the FDM. Thus, an effective form-find methodology is proposed in this research. The whole parts of the cable networks are described by the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. The form-finding analysis of the reflector with standard configuration is performed to validate the proposed methodology. The influence of boundary condition changes on the configuration accuracy of the cable net is investigated.

The microstrip reflectarray antenna is rapidly becoming an attractive alternative solution to the traditional parabolic reflector antenna. However, the bandwidth of the microstrip reflectarray using the single layer structure is very narrow. To obtain wide bandwidth characteristic, the microstrip reflectarray using the multi-layer structure has been used, but it has some disadvantages such as high cost and complicated design. In this paper, to obtain low cost and wide bandwidth, the microstrip reflectarray antenna composed of square patch with two U-slots using the single-layer structure is proposed. The proposed antenna demonstrate radiation efficiency closed to 55.5 % and 1 dB gain bandwidth over 14 % at 12.5 GHz.

본 논문에서는 skeleton slot 복사기를 이용하여 GSM 900과 GSM 1800에서 사용할 수 있는 이중대역 안테나를 설계 및 제작하여 측정 결과를 비교 분서하였다. 기본적인 skeleton slot 구조에서는 낮은 밴드의 2배 이상의 주파수에서는 수평 빔폭이 일정치 않고, 정재파비 특성이 불량하였으나, 급전부와 측면 방사부분의 다중경로 형성 및 절곡 구조를 이용하여 이를 해결하였다. 안테나의 크기는 반사판이 190$\times$190(mm), 복사기는 154$\times$106(mm), 높이는 33mm로 하여 현재 서비스 사업자틀이 주로 사용하는 크기로 구성하였다. 구성 재질은 1mm 두께의 알류미늄판을 이용하며, 이를 NCT로 타공 및 절곡하여 제작하였기 때문에 대량 생산 시 단가를 낮출수 있다. 실측결과 900MHz 대역에서 13.7%, 1800MHz 대역에서 16.4%의 -l0dB 반사손실 대역폭을 만족하고, 방사패턴도 대역별로 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$이내의 일정한 양상을 보여 이중대역 안테나로서의 요구를 만족하였다.

In this paper, we have designed the antenna for Korea SAT-5 Satellite Communication which can use Ka band in the earth station. The antenna structure consist of the the dual-offset gregorian reflector that has high gain and efficiency, the corrugated horn that has symmetric radiation patterns and low side lobe levels, the iris polarizer that make circular polarization and the OrthoMode Transducer that separate transmitting and receiving signals. The designed antenna gain is more than 45.7dBi in Tx-band which use LHCP and 42.0dBi in Rx-band which use RHCP. The co-polarized and cross-polarized radiation pattern comply with ITU-R S.580-6 and S.731-1 that are recommended by International Telecommunication Union in the geostationary satellite. The Axial ratio is less than 1.0dB in Tx-band and 1.5dB in Rx-band that meet MIL-STD-188-164A.

안테나의 특성은 셀룰러 시스템의 서비스 품질에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 요소가 되며, 특히 섹터화로 인한 용량의 증가를 기할 수 있는 CDMA 시스템의 경우에는 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 논문의 지향성 안테나를 이용하여 전력 제어된 CDMA 셀을 섹터화할 경우 얻을 수 있는 용량의 이득을 논의한다. 용량의 측면에서 이상적인 안테나 패턴과 비교할 때 실제 안테나 패턴의 역방향 링크 용량 효율을 해석적으로 구한다. 셀룰러 CDMA 시스템의 용량은 동일한 주파수 대역을 사용할 수 있는 최대 통신 채널의 수이므로 용량 효율은 결국 주파수 스펙트럼 이용 효율을 의미한다. 측정된 반사판 섹터 안테나 패턴을 대상으로 분석한 결과를 제시하고 패턴 특성과 섹터 셀의 배치 구조에 따라 용량 효율이 86~97%로 변화함을 보인다.

In this paper, we proposed new type of an artificial magnetic conductor(AMC) structure, which has a high impedance surface for realizing the meta-material characteristics. The designed AMC structure set a goal of 3.2GHz, and the reflector, which consists of periodically arrayed AMCs is fabricated and measured. The high impedance improves the reflection coefficient, decreases the system size and interference, and increases the antenna performance. The structure has embodied the high impedance by the thickness and relative permitivity of the dielectric substrate and the design configuration without the metallic via hole which connects the AMC to the GND. The bandwidth is 150% broader than the similar AMC structures. Also, the distance between the antenna and the AMC reflector is decreased by ${\lambda}/10$ as working as the metal(PEC) reflectors. The antenna radiation characteristics are 3dB increased at 10mm away from reflector by measurement. The proposed reflector could be inserted in the portable mobile devices, and the antenna's performance has improved by the reflector. The specific absorption rate is dramatically decreased over 94% because the back radiation of the antenna is shielded.

The purpose of this paper was to design the cable networks for mesh reflector antennas, considering the flexibility of structures. An effective form-find methodology is proposed. The whole parts of the cable networks are described by the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. Additionally, nonlinear deformation of the cable can be obtained. The form-finding analysis of the reflector with standard configuration is performed, to validate the proposed methodology. The truss ring structure is numerically modeled using the frame elements. To consider the flexibility of the truss ring as well as the cable net structure, an iteration analysis between the truss ring and the cable net under tensional forces is also performed in the form-finding process. The finial configuration of the reflector with tensioned cable networks is demonstrated.

In this paper, a wide-band dipole antenna suitable for use in PCS/WCDMA/WiBro($1.750{\sim}2.39\;GHz$) base station array antenna is presented. The presented antenna is a dipole antenna with pate which has the reflector element and improves the gain flatness. To confirm the wide-band characteristics and the gain flatness of the presented antenna, the experimental antenna is fabricated and its radiation characteristics are measured, compared with calculated results. It is shown that the designed antenna has VSWR less than 1.5, gain over 5 dBi, and gain flatness 0.74 dB in $1.75{\sim}2.39\;GHz$. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results. From these results, we confirm that the designed antenna can be used as a array element of the wide-band base station array antenna for PCS/WCDMA/WiBro.
