In this paper, folded PIFA is proposed by using folding the end point of PIFA for the automobile DMB antenna. By turning down the end point on the opposite side of shortstrip, resonance frequency is presented at not $\lambda$/4 but $\lambda$/10. So the folded PIFA has size reduction effect approximately 60 % as compared to the conventional PIFA. Also by using the parasitic patch, folded PIFA provides wide band performance. As a result, the designed antenna can be in the application of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(180 $\sim$ 210 MHz) antenna for the automobile.

This paper analyzes the local specific absorption rates (SAR's) averaged over 1 g and 10 g in a human head model in contact with a mobile phone operating at 835 MHz. The used numerical method is a total field finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. The phone was simulated with a conducting box, a plastic case, and a whip antennal composed of a monopole and a helix. The discrete human model of the spatial resolution 3 mm is based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) and anatomical images. The near field and far field and far field patterns were analyzed for extended and retracted phone. The two methods to take the volumes of the weights, 1 g or 10 g in tissue are proposed and compared to offer a reproductive technique for SAR estimations.

In this paper, a twice folded TEM horn antenna for 70 kV impulse high power system is proposed. The length reduction of 50 % is achieved by folding a conventional TEM horn antenna twice. The array elements are fed by the stripline power divider using the Chebyshev transformer. The power divider feeds four TEM horn antenna elements with an in-phased uniform power, and it covers a wide bandwidth ($150\;MHz\;{\sim}\;768\;MHz$, VSWR<2.0). Considering the air breakdown at peak 70 kV impulse, the proposed antenna maintains the 25 mm gaps between conducting plates. The dimension of the twice folded horn antenna is $1730\;{\times}\;1600\;{\times}\;300$ (mm3), and the operating frequency is from 152 MHz to 750 MHz under 10 dB return loss. The peak gains are measured from 6.77 dBi to 10.70 dBi at $400\;MHz\;{\sim}\;750\;MHz$.

In this paper, a folded label type RFID tag antenna is designed and produecd for metellic environment over UHF band. Since performance of regular label type RFID tag is seriously degraded for the metallic environment, a folded label tag is proposed to improve the performance. The proposed tag is operating at 910MHz by using inductive T Matching Feed and simulated in HFSS by Ansoft. The actual size is $65{\times}23{\times}3(mm)$ with the impedance of $52-j158{\Omega}$. The maximum distance of identification for the proposed tag is measured as 5.5 meters.

Helix antennas have been widely applied to satellite TT&C, data communication and GPS receiver systems onboard military, remote sensing and communication purpose satellites. The helix antennas are known to be convenient to control impedance and radiation coverage characteristics with a maximum directivity in satellite z-axis. Waveguide horn is commonly used for radar system that needs ultra-wideband pulse for exploration ground radar and electromagnetic disability measurement etc. It has high efficiency and low reflection characteristics provided by the low-profile shape and suppressed radiation distortion. In this paper, a waveguide horn structure incorporated with helix antenna design is proposed for satellite applications that require ultra-wideband pulse radar and high rate RF data communication link to ground station over wide coverage area. The main design concern is to synthesize variable beam forming pattern based on modified horn-helix combination helicone structure such that multi-mission antenna is implemented applicable for TT&C, earth observation, high data rate transmission. Waveguide horn helps to reduce the overall antenna structure size by introduction fold type reflector connected to the tapered helix antenna. The next generation KOMPSAT satellite currently under development requires high-performance precision attitude control system. We present an initial design of a hybrid hern-helix antenna structure suitable for efficient RF communication module design of multi-purpose satellite systems.

In this paper, due to the development of 5G communication technology, an antenna capable of covering both LTE and 5G bands is currently needed. In addition, we designed and manufactured a single feed antenna for the integrated public network (LTE) and 5G frequency dual band cover to satisfy the frequency bandwidth of more than 10% in each band. The antenna designed by adopting the dipole of the basic dipole antenna in a planar structure is a form in which the radiating element is vertically extended at all of the 700 MHz antennas and folded into a 'ㄷ' shape. In addition, the radiating element of the 700MHz band serves as a reflector of the 3.5GHz band radiating element. As a result, the 700 MHz band -10 dB bandwidth 104 MHz(14.8%) and 3.5 GHz band -10 dB bandwidth 660 MHz(18.8%) were obtained and the radiation pattern characteristic resulted in gains of 8.46 dBi, beam width E-plane 55°, H-plane 81° and 3.5 GHz bands 6.14 dBi, beamwidth E-plane 79°, H-Plane 49°.

This paper discribes an analysis for the sleeve monopole antenna with single sleeve. The structure of the proposed antenna is very simple. Therefore, it is very economical in terms of manufacturing and installation which makes it convenient for either portable or mobile use by making an up-and-down type antenna. In the method of analysis, instead of the complex electro- magneticapproach, we used a lumped element equivalent circuit derived from the information about the electrical dimensions and the resonance characteristics of the antenna. An error between a resonant frequency by lumped-element circuit analysis of the proposed antenna and a measured one by an experiment is below 0.9%. It is shown that the theoretical and experiment results are little different.

This paper is a study of a prevention of power folding controller's thermal degradation. Power folding technology has been applied for many fields such as side rear vision mirror of vehicles, windshield wiper, antenna, power window. These controllers have been comprised with traditional DC moors, Switching electronic devices, and relays. But this methods have a limitation to overcome such problems of product reliability, endurance, noise margins. Therefore on this paper, to detect the movement of motor, sensing motor brush noise on a load sensing part has been used and controlling a precise RC timing control minimizes the thermal deterioration of motor. And using MOS FETs as a electronic switching device increases life-time and liability of control circuit. After testing such circuit and control method, repetition of operating time, cut-off time, wide operation voltage, power noise margin ware increased over eleven-fold.
