In this paper, we propose a small broadband antenna for mobile device. The proposed antenna consists of a printed rectangular monopole antenna and a parastic element connected to ground using narrow meander line and it is designed on a FR-4 substrate that has a thickness of 0.8 mm and a dielectric constant of 4.4. The FR-4 substrate's size is 50 mm${\times}$90 mm comparable to the real mobile device. The fabricated antenna's size is 12.5 mm${\times}$10.5 mm${\times}$0.8 mm and the measurement shows -10 dB return loss bandwidth of 2,200~6,000 MHz and gains of 2.86~4.01 dBi. Accordingly, the proposed antenna can support mobile device for WiBro(2,300~2,380 MHz), WLAN(IEEE 802.11b/g/n: 2,400~2,480 MHz, IEEE 802.11a: 5,150~5,825 MHz), and mobile WiMAX(IEEE 802.16e : 2,500~2,690 MHz, 3,400~3,600 MHz) service bands.

한국전력공사(이하 한전)에서는 배전계통의 최적운영을 위하여 계통운영에 필요한 기술을 발굴하여 축적하는데 많은 노력을 기울여 왔으며, 계통운영의 핵심 툴인 배전자동화 시스템을 통하여 관련기술을 축적해오고 있다. 우리나라처럼 배전자동화 시스템을 전력회사에서 자체적으로 개발하여 활용하는 사례는 전 세계적으로 유일하며, 이를 기반으로 해외 전력시장에 배전자동화 시스템을 수출하기 위하여 활발한 활동을 지속적으로 추진되고 있다. 배전자동화 시스템을 이용하면 원격으로 현장에 있는 배전자동화기기를 감시, 제어, 조작, 정정이 가능한 기본기능이 구현가능하고, 각종 계통운영에 필요한 기술계산, 즉 전압강하계산, 보호협조검토, 표준조작지시서(SOP)의 생성, 상시개방점 위치조정으로 손실최소화, 분산전원 연계계통 기술검토의 자동처리가 가능해진다. 기술계산프로그램은 최초 개발 당시인 2002년에는 배전자동화시스템 주장치가 설치된 장소인 온라인 상태에서만 사용이 가능하여 사용상 제약을 가지고 있었으나, 이를 개선하고자 2006년 10월 배전자동화기반 오프라인형 기술계산프로그램을 개발하였고 이를 지속적으로 업그레이드를 추진하여 활용해오고 있다. 배전자동화기반 오프라인형 기술계산프로그램은 배전자동화주장치에서 데이터를 추출하여 배전자동화주장치가 아닌 일반PC나 노트북에서도 배전자동화시스템에 내장된 배전계통 정보 즉, 선로길이 및 전력선 제원 등을 직접 이용하므로 각종 기술계산을 신속하고 정확하게 수행하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 따라서 이를 지속적으로 활용하고 성능개선을 추진하여 배전계통 운영시 신뢰도 제고에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대되고 있다.

And, we investigated whether the fabricated system will accurately monitoring three events of optical cable extension, macrobanding and ferrule dust, which are related with special situation of ship, or not through the experiment. We used the combined method of chained branch and dark fiber for designing and fabricating hardware of optical network monitoring system for optimal corresponding with network configuration in ship. And, we confirmed that the proposed system excellently trace within 5 m range of event point in all three cases by investigating each event experiments.

The wind power plant must be able to produce reactive power at the POI bus of a wind farm connected to power system to keep or control the voltage of POI bus. But, the reactive power capability of wind turbines may not be sufficient to control the voltage of POI bus due to the reactive power losses in connection lines between wind farm and POI bus. The solution of this problem is to install an external STATCOM. The proposed cooperative control method of STATCOM and conventional reactive power compensators such as Switched-shunt and tap changing transformer can control the voltage of POI bus more efficiently. The simulation results are shown that the voltage drop of POI Bus of Test System with the arbitrary load change rate to initial loads is improved more than 60% and the voltage of load bus is maintained more than 95% of rated voltage.

In this paper, the design of asymmetric branch line couplers using artificial dielectric substrate (ADS) is described. The effective permittivity and permeability increase in ADS because of the lots of the inserted via-holes. So the physical length and width of transmission lines realized on ADS are reduced compared to the standard lines. This enables one to design size-reduced microwave circuits. As an instance in this work, an asymmetric branch line coupler with the ratio of 3:1 is designed at 2GHz. The designed coupler has a small size of 53.4% compared to the normal circuit while the same performances are preserved. A good agreement between the simulated and measured asymmetric power dividing ratio is shown. The measured loss is only less than 0.2dB, which is a very small value.

This paper presents a new design method of the Ultra-Wide-Band BandPass Filter using the CRLH-TL(Composite Right- and Left-Handed Transmission-line) having the Metamaterials' properties. Instead of the periodic type or many cells of the CRLH-TL, only the unit cell is used to miniaturize the target component, which can not be realized by the conventional quarter guided-wavelength resonator-based filters. Particularly, the strong coupling essential to the Ultra Wide Band is enabled by the interdigital coupled lines between the grounded stubs. The proposed design scheme is validated by the electromagnetic simulation and measurement of the fabricated filter which shows the total size of 'the guided-wavelength/9.4', the 100 % fractional bandwidth for the UWB, the insertion loss of less than 1 dB and the flat group-delay.

In this paper, a novel power/ground plane using the hybrid-cell electromagnetic band-gap(EBG) structure is proposed for the wide-band suppression of the ground bound noise(GBN) or simultaneous switching noise(SSN). The -30 dB stopband of the proposed structure starts from a few hundred MHz where the GBN/SSN energy is dominant. The distinctive features of this new structure are the thin spiral strip line and hybrid-cells. They realize the enhanced inductance and the shorter period of the EBG lattice. As a result, the lower cut-off frequency and bandwidth of the -30 dB stopband becomes lower and wider, respectively. In addition, the proposed structure has smaller number of resonance modes between power/ground planes and performs a low EMI behavior compared with the reference board.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a wide-band and high gain antenna which can integrate a standard of IEEE 802.1la$(5.15\sim5.25\;GHz,\;5.25\sim5.35\;GHz,\;5.725\sim5.825\;GHz)$. We inserted a parallel dual slot into a rectangular patch to have wide-band, and we offset an element of capacitance from the slot by using coaxial probe feeding method. We also designed a converter of $\lambda_g/4$ impedance with taper type line so that wide-band impedance can be matched easily. We finally designed structure with $2\times2$ array in order to improve the antenna gain, and the final fabricated antenna could have a good return loss(Return loss$\leq$-10 dB) and a high gain(over 13 dBi) at the range of $5.01\sim5.95\;GHz(B/W\doteqdot940\;MHz)$.

In this paper, we present a compact triple-mode resonator. The resonator itself can provide three transmission poles and one transmission zero. The resonance condition of each mode is analyzed theoretically, and the transmission zero is generated by open stub. Using this proposed resonator, a compact three pole bandpass filter for 2.4 GHz WLAN application with one transmission zero is designed and fabricated. The fabricated triple-mode filter shows 3 dB bandwidth of 15.8 % with the center frequency 2.4 GHz and less then 1.17 dB in 2.4~2.5 GHz passband. The size of fabricated triple-mode filter including the feed lines is 15.9 mm${\times}$9.7 mm and very compact compared with previous reported triple-mode filter.

In this paper, the transmit-receive module for military seekers has been designed and fabricated in 35 GHz. To increase the performance of substrates and high integration of circuits in millimeter-wave band, a 4-layer LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer) substrate was developed. This substrate was implemented with three FCCL substrates and two adhesive layers, and a process using the difference in melting point between the substrates was used for lamination. Using a strip line and a microstrip line was confirmed by the transmission loss along the length of the substrate, and the performance of LCP substrates was validated with a power divider in 35 GHz. After confirming the performance of individual blocks such as power amplifier and low noise amplifier, a single channel Ka-band transmission/reception module was developed using a 4-layer liquid crystal polymer substrate. The transmit power of this module has above 1.1W in pulse duty 10% and has an output power of 1.1W and it has receive noise figure less than 8.5 dB and receive gain more than 17.6 dB.
