In capacitive heating device, which considered efficient for deep heating, parallel arrangement of the electrodes is a serious limiting factor in heating for eccentrically located lesions because it causes overheating of the exposed ipsilateral skin surface, the heating pattern is also frequently inappropriate, and the arrangement tends to be unstable due to the patient's gravity. Therefore we attempted an angular arrangement of the electordes to achieve more homogenous and efficient heating for such lesions. In phantom study, both the thermal profile and thermogram established the heating pattern in this unusual angular arrangement of the electrodes at $60^{\circ},\;90^{\circ}\; and\;120^{\circ}$ angles, respectively. An angular arrangement was also clinically applied to 3 patients. The patients' tolerance was good without significant complication and the thermal distribution was satisfactory. In conclusion, this unusual arrangement of electrodes appears to be promising in the clinical application to the eccentrically located lesions.

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.

This paper presents a microstrip patch array antenna having transmission feed and reception feed for satellite communication in the Ku band. In this paper, the element of the patch array antenna is a three-stacked structure consisting of one radiation patch and two parasitic patches for high gain and wide bandwidth characteristics. To obtain higher gain, the unit elements are expanded into a $1{\times}8$ may using a mixture of series and parallel feeds. The proposed antenna has horizontal polarization for the Rx band and vertical polarization for the Tx band. To verify the practicality of this antenna, we fabricated a three-stacked patch array antenna and measured its performance. The gain of the array antenna in the Rx and Tx bands exceeds 17 and 18 dBi, respectively. The impedance bandwidth is over 10 % in both bands. The cross-polarization level is below -25 dB, and the sidelobe level is below -9.4 dB.

In this paper, an array antenna is designed far base station of a street micro-cell in urban areas. It has a rectangular radiation pattern. The current distribution of the array is decided by using a modified Woodward-Lawson sampling pattern synthesis method. To confirm the realization of the array antenna with rectangular pattern, 12 array antenna with a planar type monopole fed by stripline is fabricated and measured. In the results of the measured values, H-plane pattern of the antenna nearly yields a rectangular radiation pattern.

In piezoelectric ultrasonic linear array transducers widely used for diagnosis, the cross talk caused by the structural cross-coupling between adjacent elements inside the transducer affects the probe performance in a significant manner. In this study, we constructed a finite element model of a piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, and analyzed its cross talk level with respect to the shape of and materials inside the kerf, The results of this work can be utilized in optimal design of the transducers for medical diagonosis and treatment as well as W applications.

The design method of the center-fed resonant type slotted waveguide antenna using the Dolph-Tschebyscheff array is presented. Slot admittances are obtained by empirical and theoretical method since the effect of mutual coupling between slots is included. We design a slotted waveguide antenna which has 1.8ft. length and operates on 9.4GHz. The experimental results of the antenna show that its gain, maximum sidelobe level and half power beam-width are 25.5dB, -22dB and 3.6deg., respectively.

본 논문은 다양한 GPS 재밍대응 기술 중에서 안테나 기반의 CRPA(Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna) 시스템에 관한 소개 및 안테나의 널(null) 패턴 합성에 필요한 핵심 모듈인 디지털 I/Q 벡터모듈레이터(Vector Modulator)를 이용한 GPS용 $2{\times}2$ CRPA 패턴 제어방법에 관한 연구 내용이다. 일반적으로 시스템에서 미리 결정된 방향으로 만들어진 안테나 빔을 이용한 위상배열안테나(phased array antenna)와는 달리 CRPA 구조의 GPS 위성수신용 적응배열안테나(adaptive array antenna)는 각 안테나 소자(element)로부터 수신된 신호들을 실시간으로 해석하여, GPS 배열 안테나의 패턴 특성을 제어한다. 본 연구에서는 $2{\times}2$ 배열 정사각(square) 구조의 CRPA를 채택했으며, 재밍신호 방향으로 널(null) 패턴을 합성하기 위한 방법으로 PC에서 제어 가능한 DAC(Digital to Analog Converter)을 이용하여 I/Q 벡터모듈레이터로 인가되는 RF신호의 위상(phase) 및 진폭(amplitude)을 조절한다. 이때 원하는 널(null) 패턴이 합성되도록 네 개의 각 안테나 소자 쪽으로 8채널의 복소가중치(complex weight)를 인가한다.

키로깅(Keylogging) 방지를 위한 입력방식은 무작위로 배열된 숫자나 문자를 마우스로 선택하는 가상 키보드가 주로 사용되고 있다. 그런데 무작위로 배열된 숫자나 문자는 순차적인 배열에 비해 가시성이 떨어지므로 사용자의 입력시간이 지연되어 사용하기 불편하다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 숫자나 문자를 순차적으로 배열하여 사용자가 쉽게 인식할 수 있는 시각적 추상화 방법을 기반으로 하는 회전형 가상키보드 시스템(Rotary-type Virtual Keyboard System; R-VKS)을 제안한다. 제안하는 R-VKS는 기술적 측면에서 키로깅이나 마우스 커서 위치추적 등의 악성코드로부터 안전한 특성을 갖고, 공간 지각적 측면에서 사용자의 가시성을 높여 입력시간을 단축하는 효과가 있다.

This paper proposes an aperture coupled circular polarized patch antenna operating at ISM band(5GHz). For improving the characteristic and performance of broadband and circular polarization at single circular polarized patch antenna. We designed and analyzed the sequentially rotated arrayed(SRA) using phase delay of 0$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, 180$^{\circ}$, 270$^{\circ}$and 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, 135$^{\circ}$. Experimental result, the SRA antenna using phase delay of 90$^{\circ}$and 45$^{\circ}$are improved at the wideband and axial ratio. Also, the SRA antenna using phase delay of 45$^{\circ}$verified that it is better bandwidth and axial ratio than the SRA antenna using phase delay of 90$^{\circ}$.
