Strong radar returns were observed in oyster sea farms, and coherent interferometric pairs were successfully constructed. Tide height in coastal area is possible to be measured by using interferometric phase and intensity of SAR data. This SAR application technique for measuring the tide height in the near coastal zone can be further improved when applied to double bounce dominant areas. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of polarimetric signature in the oyster farm structures. Laboratory experiments were carried out using Ku-band according to the target scale. Radar returns from vertical poles are stronger than those from horizontal Pole by 10.5 dB. Single bounce components were as strong as double bounce components and more sensitive to antenna look direction. Double bounce components show quasi-linear relation with the height of vertical poles, which implies double bounce is more useful to determine water level than total power. A L-band NASA/IPL airborne SAR (AIRSAR) image was classified into single-, double-bounce, and volume scattering components. It is observed that oyster farms are not always characterized by double bounced scattering. Double bounce is a main scattering mechanism in oyster farms standing above seawater, while single bounce is stronger than double bounce when bottom tidal flats are exposed to air. Ratios of the normalized single to double bounce components in the former and latter cases were 0.46 and 5.62, respectively. It is necessary to use double bounce dominant sea farms for tide height measurement by DInSAR technique.

Recently, active research on the Arctic Ocean has been conducted due to the influence of global warming and new Arctic ship route. Although previous studies already calculated quantitative extent of sea ice using passive microwave radiometers, melting at the edge of sea ice and surface roughness were hardly considered due to low spatial resolution. Since Sentienl-1A/B data in Extended Wide (EW) mode are being distributed as free of charge and bulk data for Arctic sea can be generated during a short period, the entire Arctic sea ice data can be covered in high spatial resolution by mosaicking bulk data. However, Sentinel-1A/B data in EW mode, especially in HV polarization, needs significant radiometric correction for further classification. Thus, in this study, we developed algorithms that can correct thermal noise and scalloping effects, and confirmed that Arctic sea ice and open-water were well classified using the corrected dual-polarization SAR data.

In this letter, a new approach is proposed for the design of a multi antenna for MIMO wireless devices. The proposed antenna covers various LTE(Long Term Evolution) service bands: band 17(704~746 MHz), band 13(746~787 MHz), band 5(824~894 MHz), and band 8(880~960 MHz). The proposed main antenna consists of a conventional monopole antenna with an inverted L-shaped slit for wideband operation. The proposed the LTE sub antenna is based on a switch loaded loop antenna structure, with a resonance frequency that can be controlled by capacitance of a logic circuit. The tuning technique for the LTE Rx antenna uses a RF MEMS(Micro-Electro mechanical system) to match the impedances to realize the bands of interest. Because the two proposed antennas are polarized orthogonally to each other, the ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) characteristic between two antennas was measured to be very low (below 0.06) with an isolation characteristic below -20 dB between the two antennas in the operating overall LTE bands. The proposed antenna is particularly attractive for mobile devices that integrate LTE multiple systems.

Diffraction patterns of electromagnetic fields for the incidence of E-polarized plane wave on both interfaces of an arbitrary-angle dielect wedge are obtained by sum of geometric optics term and the edge diffracted fields. The diffraction coefficients of the edge diffracted fields are evaluated by employing the physical optics approximation and then correcting its error with the multipole line source at the dielectric edge. For the wedge angle $120^{circ}$, the incident angle $60^{circ}$, the relative dielectric constant of the dielectric wedge, 2, 5, and 10, and the observation distance from the tip of the wedge, 5 and 10 wavelength, the diffraction coefficients and the diffraction patterns corresponding to geometric optics, physical optics, and the solution corrected by the multipole line source are plotted, respectively. While the corrected solutions presented in this paper are valid only in the far-field region, these asymptotic solutions show to satisfy the boundary condition on the dielectric interfaces.

This study investigates a method of designing pixel-type frequency selective surfaces(FSS) with flexibility while considering factors, such as polarization and incident angle. Among the various methods used to solve the discrete space problem when designing a pixel-type FSS, the binary particle swarm optimization(BPSO) algorithm is one of the most applicable techniques to determine the periodic structure pattern of an FSS. Therefore, a method of efficiently designing FSS with roll-off band pass characteristics using an improved BPSO algorithm is proposed. To solve the convergence problem in the fitness function design to induce particles in the desired solution, FSS with desired roll-off wave characteristics can be easily obtained by applying a fitness function using "slope" as an input parameter.

This letter presents that a rectenna can utilize more stable wireless power by using a new design dual band/dual polarization microstrip patch antenna and 2 stage voltage multiplier at 2.4 GHz band and 3.1 GHz band. The proposed antenna is a new microstrip patch antenna design to make impedance matching possible by using slotted capacitive coupling between the patch and $50\Omega$ feed line on a ground plane. Its advantage is that the size of the rectenna can be reduced by using $50\Omega$ feed line on the ground plane, which can be used efficiently. The dual band/dual polarization microstrip patch antenna shows circular polarization at 2.4 GHz band and linear polarization at 3.1 GHz band. Under -10 dB return loss, The dual band/dual polarization microstrip patch antenna obtains 340 MHz bandwidth as 2.23~2.57 GHz and 375 MHz bandwidth as 2.95~3.325 GHz. Also, 2 Stage Voltage multiplier is possible to operate at 2.4 GHz band and 3.1 GHz band. The designed retenna can usually obtain wireless power at both 3.1 GHz band, and 2.4 GHz band applications such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, etc. So more stable wireless power can be utilized at the same time.
