In this paper, small UWB antenna with band-stop function for mobile handsets is proposed. A gap between radiator and under and side ground is adjusted for small size and broadband. A radiator is folded to the back side of PCB for miniaturization and tapered feeding structure is used to enhance matching characteristic. A antenna clearance has a size of $14{\times}14\;mm^2$ and a size of radiator is $10{\times}7\;mm^2$. It covers all UWB band from 3.15 GHz to 4.75 GHz and from 7.2 GHz to 10.2 GHz for VSWR<2 and has band stop characteristic at 5.8 GHz. A maximum gain is measured as 5.85 GHz. In case conventional handset case is considered, it also covers all UWB and a maximum gain is measured from -2 dBi to -2 dBi.

This paper presents an optimized design of a millimeter-wave on-chip dipole antenna using CMOS process. The serious flaw of the antenna using CMOS process is low radiation efficiency because of high permittivity and conductivity. To overcome the weakness, we need to widen radiation area in air and optimize distance between an antenna and a reflector. The radiation efficiency and bandwidth of the designed antenna are respectively 16.5 % and 22.3 % at 80 GHz. Systematic methods are attempt to analyze an effect on the antenna radiation efficiency. To widen radiation area in air, substrate cut angle and distance between the antenna and chip edge are adjusted. In addition, to optimize distance between an antenna and reflector, substrate thickness and distance between the antenna and a circuit ground plane are adjusted.

In this paper, TX/RX dual operation microstrip single antenna for satellite communication is designed, analyzed, fabricated and measured. TX/RX frequency ranges are 14.0∼l4.5 GHz, 11.7∼12.75 GHz in respectively and vertical and horizontal polarizations are used for TX and RX. This antenna uses microstrip direct feeding for RX and aperture coupled strip-line feeding for TX and accommodates stacked elements for a high directivity and wide impedance bandwidth. In an analysis of single element, FDTD and MOM was compared and FDTD analysis was more accurate because of the consideration of finite structure and imperfect two ground planes. The proposed structure facilitates generally to an extension of two dimensional array and lower an unwanted radiation by strip-line feed in TX. TX/RX 8${\times}$4 array has a return loss below -10 dB, -14 dB in TX, RX respectively and a gain ranging from 19.1∼20.7 dB in TX, 21.2∼21.8 dB in RX which has a radiation efficiency of 43∼5l %, 52∼57 %.

In this paper, the resonance characteristics and radiation characteristics of a spherical patch on a dielectric sphere are analyzed. Resonance characteristics can be obtained from the resonant frequency and the quality factor. Radiation characteristics can be also analyzed from the E-field in the far region. In order to calculate these parameters, spectral domain analysis method is applied. Algebraic equation can be obtained in spectral domain through Vector Legendre transform pair and Galerkin's method. So, efficient calculation is possible numerically. It is investigated that radius, curvature of a spherical patch, and dielectric constant of a dielectric sphere have an effect on characteristics of a spherical patch.

In this study, the investigation results of conducted and radiated emission for DC/DC converter circuit applied in electric vehicles are presented. A frequency spreading circuit was used to improve the EMI characteristics of a power converter designed by using MPQ4433 chip. The frequency spreading circuit using a TLV3201 chip was designed and applied to the power converter. A PCB was fabricated based on the EMI minimization procedures and simulated and measured results were presented for the far-field and near-field conducted and radiated emissions using the fabricated circuit. The measurement were done as CISPR 25 standardized test procedures. It is clearly showed that the EMI characteristics were improved 20% in case frequency spreading was applied. The EMI reduction technique using the frequency spreading proposed in this study was first applied to the design of power converter module for automobile. It is expected that the method presented here can be effectively used for EMI improvement in the future.

In this paper, a planar antenna with monopole-like radiation pattern for on-body communications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of three split-rings(SR) to generate a monopole-like radiation characteristic. To account for the on-body application, the proposed antenna is designed to have a low-profile. The antenna has an overall dimensions of $0.29{\lambda}_0{\times}0.29{\lambda}_0{\times}0.008{\lambda}_0$ at 5.8 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical(ISM) band(5.725~5.875 GHz). To verify the body effect, a two-thirds muscle equivalent semi solid phantom is fabricated and used to measure the antenna performance. The 10-dB return loss bandwidth is 280 MHz(5.68~5.96 GHz) and the measured peak gain is 1.91 dBi.

In this paper, the detection of 1 g and 10 g averaged SAR on human head caused by PCS handheld phones is analyzed and discussed. Conventional monopole antenna and planar structured PIFA are used in the computational model to apply to the antennas mounted on handheld phone. These antennas are designed to operate in the near of frequency 1.8 GHz, human head model is sampled to have cell size 1.5 mm and sloped to front direction by 30$^{\circ}$. It is found that, when monopole antenna is applied, 1 g averaged SAR is 1.4 W/kg, 10 g averaged SAR is 0.7 W/kg, when PIFA is applied, for each case, SARs are 1.143 W/kg, 0.4866 W/kg. While the radiation pattern of the monopole antenna is symmetrical, that of planar structured antenna is asymmetrical and SAR caused by PIFA is less than SAR by the monopole antenna. The radiation efficiency of PIFA is 62.6%, which is higher than that of monopole, 53%.

In this paper, the hybrid antenna utilizing epsilon negative zeroth-order resonance(ENG ZOR) and $TM_{010}$-mode is presented. The antenna has a directional radiation pattern and improved bandwidth. To obtain a ENG ZOR and $TM_{010}$-mode, the hybrid antenna employs the mushroom structure and the microstrip patch, respectively. Two antennas of the mushroom and the patch are coupled by gap and fed by one coaxial feed. The frequencies of ENG ZOR and of $TM_{010}$ resonance are designed to be 4 GHz and 3.9 GHz, respectively. Because two resonant frequencies are set to be close, the dual-resonance can be formed, resulting in the broader bandwidth. Even though the radiation pattern of an ENG ZOR antenna is omnidirectional, the directional radiation of a microstrip patch antenna compensates the null of omnidirectional pattern of an ENG ZOR antenna. Thus, the hybrid antenna has a directional radiation pattern. The antennas having 4, 3, and 2 unit cells of mushroom structure are designed and analyzed. The antennas have fractional bandwidths of 4.29~4.95 %, gains of 3.16~5.57 dBi, and radiation efficiencies of 62.4~94.2 %.

최근 전자산업과 전파통신산업의 발달에 따라 불요전자파에 의한 전자파장해가 심각한 수 준에 이르게 되었다. 그 결과 국 . 내외 전자파환경은 나날이 악화되고 있으며, 이로 인한 사 회적 문제가 점차 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대책으로 CISPR(Comite Internationale S Special des Perturbations Radioelectrique), FCC (Federal Communications Commissions) A ANSI(Amercian National Standards Institute) 둥이 주축이 되어 국제 규정이 제정되어 각종 전자기기들에 대해 방사(EMI) 및 내성(EMS)의 규제가 강화되고 있다. 그러나 국제규정이 요구하는(30 MHz - 18 GHz) 주파수 범위에서의 EMIjEMS 측정을 하기 위해 광대역(Broad-band) 전파무향실(Anechoic Chamber)이 필요하지만1 기존의 Ferrite T Tile 또는 그리드형 전파홉수체는 20 dB 이상 전파를 홉수할 수 잇는 주파수 대역이 30 M MHz - 400 MHz 또는 780 MHz에 불과하기 때문에 상기의 조건을 만족하는 전파무향실 을 구성하기에는 곤란한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 국제 규격을 만족하는 전파무향실을 위한 광대역 전파홉수체를 개발하기 위해, 다충형으로 구성하고, 전파흡수체의 형상을 변화시켜 등가재료정수법을 사용하여 설계하고 그 특성을 평가함을 그 목적으로 하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 본 연구실에서 기폰에 제안한바 있는, 금속판 위에 타일형 페라이 트 충, 그 위에 원추절단형 페라이트 층과 원통형 페라이트 층을 적층시칸 형상의 전파홉수 체는 30 MHz - 6 GHz 정도까지 커버할 수 있으나, 1 GHz 부근의 주파수 대에서 16 dB 정도의 홉수능 밖에 가지지 못하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해, 금속판 위에 타일형 페라이트 층 을 형성하고 그 위에 원통형 페라이트 충, 원추절단형 페라이트 충I 원통형 페라이트 충, 타 원형 페라이트 충을 형성한 새로운 형태의 전파홉수체를 제안하였다. 본 논문에 제안한 새로운 형태의 전파흡수체의 시물레이션 결과 30 MHz - 20 GHz의 주파수 범위에서 전반적으로 25 dB이상의 전파흡수능을 가짐을 확인하였으며/ 특히 기폰에 제안한 전파홉수체와 비교하면,1GHz 부끈에서의 전파홉수능을 10 dB 이상 개선하였다. 나아가서/ 실재로 제작한 전파흡수체의 측정된 주파수특성이 시율레이션에 의한 이론치와 3 30 MHz - 6 GHz의 범위에서 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한y 전파 홉수체의 전체 높이는 2 27 mm 밖에 되지 않으므로 본 연구에서 제안한 전파 홉수체를 사용할 경우 전파무향실의 유 효공간 확보에 매우 유리한 이점을 가진다
