Periodically perforated slot structure in the upper wall of the parallel plate waveguide is analyzed with main interest focusing on the diffraction Properties. The Periodic slot array is of infinite extent in one direction and of finite extent in the other direction. Various numerical results for reflection from the slotted section and transmission beyond the slotted section, and the radiation through the slotted section into the upper half space are presented with the height of feeding parallel plate waveguide, single slot size, and the periodicity between slots as parameters. This study is thought to be helpful to the design of the ventilation hole in the TFT-LCD and PDP.

In this research, we develop an airborne equipment radiating S/C-band signal to a target located at a long distance. RF interface of the equipment comprises band-specific transmitters and an broadband antenna to satisfy EIRP(effective isotropic radiated power) requirements. The equipment is in a shape of a POD like an aircraft fuel tank. The measured weight of the equipment is 119.8 kg, the CG(center of gravity) is 1391.35 mm and the MOI(moment of inertia) are 46.07 ± 0.05(I_yy) kg·㎡, 45.36 ± 0.09(I_zz) kg·㎡. All results are found to meet the requirements for aircraft installation. To verify flight safety, EMI(electromagnetic interference) tests (RE102, CE102), environmental tests (high/low temperature operation, altitude), intra-system EMC(electromagnetic compatibility) and HERP(hazards electromagnetic radiation personnel) tests have been conducted and all the test results met the requirements. It is confirmed that the equipment could be mounted on the aircraft by meeting all electrical and mechanical requirements.

Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) is defined as combining farm-grown crops with photovoltaic panels (PV) installed several meters above the ground. Solar radiation (W/㎡), photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, µmol/㎡/s), air temperature (℃), vapor pressure (kPa), soil moisture (㎥/㎥), soil temperature (℃), wind direction (˚), and wind speed (m/s) were measured under the AVS in Boseong-gun during winter barley season. Data was collected by 5 minute interval. All data can download at Github site (https://github.com/chojaeil/AVS_Boseung). To gap-filling missing solar radiation data during about two weeks, the conversion coefficient from solar radiation to PPFD was estimated as 0.41. Further, according to the ratio of diffuse radiation to direct radiation, the maximum value among the twenty PPFD sensors under the AVS was related to the PPFD value of filed.

A simulation using the finite-difference time-domain method to analyze the electromagnetic interactions between a cellular phone and the human body was conducted, and a synthesis of a bone-equivalent material to make a human head phantom was performed. A test model of the cellular phone was fabricated to measure its reflection coefficient and radiation pattern in the free space. Various effects of the human body on the characteristics of the phone, such as input impedance, reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, and radiation efficiency are analyzed as the distance between the head and the phone antenna varies. When the phone was operated close to the head, the resonant frequency of the antenna decreased by up to 12%. With the output power of 0.6W, as long as the distance was larger than 30mm, the 1-g averaged peak SAR was below the ANSI/IEEE safety guideline, 1.6 W/kg. To synthesize the bone-equivalent material, an epoxy with hardener and a graphite powder were used as basis ingredients, and a small amount of a conducting epoxy was added to control the conductivity of the material. A material having a relative permittivity of 18.04 and a conductivity of 0.347, which are close to those of the bone at 850 MHz, was synthesized.

Because the installation problem of parabola antenna that is tilted to 45 degree when this antenna is installed at the area of middle latitude, the study on planar antenna in place of parabola antenna is made rapid progess. Especially, The development of the planar antenna for VSAT is needed depending on the increased Ka-band satellite communications. In this paper, in order to meet with these performances, an array antenna consisting of the vertical polarized waveguide longitudinal slots based on the leaky-wave mode of traveling wave antenna is proposed. Especially, for the lower sidelobe level, the design method of the radiation power distribution control using the different slot widths is proposed. An array antenna consisting of 32 leakywave waveguide antennas is showing 35.16 dBi of gain, 2.5 degree of beamwidth at azimuth, below than -30 dB of sidelobe level, 45.8 degree of beam tilt angle in center frequency 30.2 GHz.

Small size and low profile antenna for mobile vehicular-top-mounted is needed in satellite communication services such as DBS, Satellite Internet and VSAT. In middle latitudes, the development of an array antenna which has the conformal, low profile and 45 degree beam tilted configuration, and has the high gain with sharp beamwidth, low sidelobe and low loss is required for Ka band satellite communication. In this paper, in order to meet with these performances, an array antenna consisting of the vertical polarized waveguide longitudinal slots based on the leaky-wave mode of traveling wave antenna is proposed. Especially, for the lower sidelobe level the radiation power control using a design method of the different slot width is proposed. An array antenna consisting of 32 leakywave elements is showing 34.4 dBi of gain, 3.6 degree of beamwidth, below than -25 dB of sidelobe level, 43 degree of beam tilt angle in center frequency 20.0 GHz. Feed network designed by waveguide cooperated feed shows good performance of wideband and low loss.

In this paper, direct conversion receiver was designed to even harmonic anti-paralled diode pair ring mixer. Using a second harmonic component of LO instead of LO signal and RF signal are mixed by SHP(Sub Harmonic Pumped) mixer with anti-parallel diode pair. Canceling the harmonics of LO signal in ring mixer, SHP mixer using anti-parallel diode pair could mostly reduce the radiation of LO signal through a input port the most, good isolation characteristic, and low spurious characteristic by LO signal was shown over broad band. The produced SHP mixer showed LO/IF, RF/IF and LO/RF isolation was 24.6dB,36.2dB and 22.5dB respectively. And conversion loss was measured 15.6dB, IF output -35.6dBm with -20dBm RF input and 5.5dBm LO signal. 1dB compression point of If signal, in respect to RF signal, was found at the 0dbm RF signal.

In this paper, we have developed a frequency mixer which can be used as a microwave phase conjugator in the retrodirective array antenna. The retrodirective array, which can reflect the incident wave retrodirertively back to the source direction without any priori information, requires phase conjugators to achieve the phase change of 180 degrees for the incoming signal. frequency mixers can efficiently serve as phase conjugators. The circuit topology is of the 2-port structure to avoid the complexity of LO and Rf signal combination and matching circuits, using a pseudomorphic HEU device. The operating frequencies are 4.0 CHz, 2.01 CHz, and 1.99 CHz for LO, RF, and If signals, respectively. Conversion loss is measured to be -ldB and 1-dB compression point -l5 dBm at the LO power of -10 dBm.

This paper present a waveguide slot 16${\times}$16 assay antenna with diaphragms for 38 GHz frequency band. Diaphragms are used to control the impedance and to minimize the return loss of the structure. A 20 dB Chebyshev array of 16 waveguide slots has been designed by optimizing the positions and sizes of the diaphragms. A serial feeding system with $\pi$- and T-junction power dividers has also designed to get a 20 dB Chebyshev power distribution. A 16${\times}$16 slot array was designed for a Fixed Wireless Access System at 38 GHz frequency band, manufactured using a computer controlled milling technique, and measured for the return -19 dB and the frequency band of 740 MHz.

In this paper, we described a measurement method of an EIRP(Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) of a WCDMA base station using a pilot channel in line-of-sight environments. Especially we measured it in real base station environments in order to apply this method to domestic base station inspection test. Estimated EIRP results from measured value is -2 dB lower than theoretical values, which is calculated by the data of transmit antenna. The deviation of -2 dB is verified as a polarization mismatch between the base station antenna and a receiver antenna, and it can be calibrated. Therefore, we verified that our measurement method could be an effective tool to measure an EIRP in WCDMA base station inspection test.
