In this paper, we measured and analyzed propagation characteristics in a subway tunnel that is recently increasingly becoming one of the radio communication environments. The measurements are carried out in a subway tunnel with frequency bands of 2.45㎓ and 5.8㎓. The length of tunnel we used for this study is 175m of LOS (Line-of-sight) and 270m of NLOS (Non Line-of-Sight). The subway tunnel is curved and its cross section is horseshoe type. The measurement systems we employ in this study are a narrow-band system and a wide-band system. The narrow-band system is used to get path loss measurement and the wide-band system is used to figure out delay profile measurement. In particular, the wide-band system consists of 1023 length PN sequence generator using a chip rate of 80MHz based on a sliding correlation technique. The omni-directional antennas and directional antennas are used to analyze propagation characteristics for beam type of antenna. The path loss displays only pure path loss of a tunnel environment. The delay profile indicates the mean excess delay and RMS (root mean square) delay spread.

There have recently been various services that use indoor location estimation technologies. Representative methods of location estimation include fingerprinting and triangulation, but they lack accuracy. Various kinds of research which apply existing location estimation methods like AOA, TOA, and TDOA are being done to solve this problem. In this paper, we study the location estimation algorithm based on AOA using a RSSI difference in indoor environments. We assume that there is a single AP with four antennas, and estimate the angle of arrival based on the RSSI value to apply the AOA algorithm. To compensate for RSSI, we use a recursive averaging filter, and use the corrected RSSI and the Pythagorean theorem to estimate the angle of arrival. The results of the experiment, show an error of 18% because of the radiation pattern of the four non-directional antennas arranged at narrow intervals.

This paper proposes the design of broadband spiral antenna for a potable non-linear junction detector (NLJD) system. To realize the broadband antenna design, it was considered optimization of the number of spiral turns by iteration calculation. Ground plane with the Archimedean spiral slit to keep the same current distribution between radiating plane and ground is considered for circular polarization design. In order to realize high directivity and high gain of the proposed antenna, the cavity wall and the metal cap which is located on back of ground plane were also considered in design. Measurement results of return loss were agreed well with VSWR 2:1 at interested frequency band among 2.4 to 2.44 GHz, 4.84 to 4.92 GHz and 7.28 to 7.36 GHz. Measured axial ratio was observed 3 dB below and showed reasonable agreement with simulation results. Characteristics of the RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization) with the measured gain of 6.8 dBi above at interested frequency band were also observed.

In this paper, a microstrip linear tapered slot antenna is designed. A tapered slot antenna(TSA) has many advantages such as low profile, low weight, easy fabrication, and compatibility with monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMIC). In addition, it has demonstrated multi octave bandwidth, moderately high gain, and symmetrical E- and H-plane beam patterns. A feed network is implemented with transition between a microstrip and a slot line for the microstrip linear tapered slot antenna. The transition is consist of two sides. One side has a microstrip line, the other side has a slot line. The dimensions of the microstrip and slot line are ${\lambda}_m/4$ and ${\lambda}_s/4$ at the center of the cross section of the microstrip and slot line. In order to get broad bandwidth antenna characteristics, the tapered length is chosen as $4{\lambda}_o$ and termination width is chosen as $1.75{\lambda}_o$. Experimental results show that the microstrip tapered slot antenna has symmetrical E- and H-plane beam patterns with around 5GHz of bandwidth at center frequency of 5.0GHz.

The wireless transmission medium inherently broadcasts a signal to all neighbor nodes in the transmission range. Existing asynchronous MAC protocols do not provide a concrete solution for reliable broadcast in link layer. This mainly comes from that an omnidirectional broadcasting causes to reduce the network performance due to the explosive collisions and contentions. This paper proposes a directional broadcast protocol by using neighborhood information in the link layer based o,1 directional antennas, named MNDB (MAC protocol with Neighborhood for reliable Directional Broadcast). This protocol makes use of neighborhood information and DMACA (Directional Multiple Access and Collision Avoidance) scheme through 4-way handshake to support a reliable directional broadcast. To analyze its performance, MNDB protocol si compared with $RMDB^{[1]}$, the protocol 2 of reference [3], and IEEE 802.11 $protocol^{[9]}$, in terms of the number of collisions, the number of dropped packets, the number of redundant packets, and broadcast delay.

In this paper, we propose a low-cost near-field measurement system using a circular cylindrical scanning formula in order to obtain the radiation pattern of an AUT (Antenna Under Test). Near-field measurement is performed with the improved circular cylindrical scanning based on a planar scanning. We propose a novel method that replaces a network analyzer and we also offer the specifications of the near-field measurement system.

In this paper, a wideband LC oscillator which is composed of a high voltage switch and a fat dipole antenna was designed and radiation characteristics are analyzed. A Marx generator was used as a high voltage pulse generator of the proposed wideband LC oscillator and $90^{\circ}$ corner reflector was used to obtain high directivity. According to simulated and measured results, 3 dB bandwidth of high voltage switch without fat dipole based on the received power is about 9%(${\lambda}_1=0.7\;m$) and bandwidth Is about 30%(${\lambda}_2=1\;m$) by using the LC oscillator containing high voltage switch and fat dipole. Consequently, fat dipole affects not only radiating power but also operating frequency and bandwidth of the LC oscillator. This study will be useful to determine operating frequency and radiating power when we design LC oscillator which uses a high voltage switch and a fat dipole.
