This paper deals with a coaxial-to-waveguide transition generating circularly polarized wave to be connected with horn antennas. By combining vertical coaxial fed structure, back-short and the polarization twisting structure, the circular polarization is successfully generated in the waveguide. The designed and implemented transition shows that the present structure can significantly reduce the size of the antenna part at X-band.

국립기상연구소(National Institute of Meteorological Research; NIMR)는 기상청 이중편파 레이더 현업운영에 대비하여 2009년 X-band 연구용 이중편파 레이더를 도입하였고, 편파변수의 산출과 대기수상체 분류를 포함한 강수추정 등의 효용 가능성에 대한 연구를 지난 2년간 수행하고 있다. 이중편파 레이더는 반사도( )뿐만 아니라 차등반사도($Z_R$), 비차등 위상($K_{DP}$), 상관계수($_v$)등의 편파 변수의 산출로 강우감쇠보정과 기상에코-비기상의 에코(ground clutter, insects, birds, chaff)의 구별이 가능하다. 이러한 장점들을 이용해 레이더 자료품질 개선과 정량적 강수추정의 상당한 개선에 도움이 된다. 본 연구에서는 강수추정 관계식 R-Z, 감쇠 보정된 R-Z, R-$K_{DP}$ 관계식을 이용하여 레이더 관측 반경 내에 존재 하는 81개의 지상 우량계 자료와 강수량 추정의 정확도 비교 검증을 실시하였다. 그리고 Fuzzy logic 기법을 이용한 대기수상체 분류 알고리즘을 사용하였고 관측사례는 2011년 수도권 관측을 통해 강설/강수 에코 구별과 우박에코 사례를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 이중 편파 레이더에서 산출된 고품질의 레이더기상자료를 기반으로 현업 예보지원 및 정량적 강우예측 향상에도 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

기후변화에 따른 집중호우 및 태풍 발생의 증가로 강우레이더를 이용한 홍수예경보시스템의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 현재 국내에서 주로 활용되고 있는 단일편파 레이더는 정확도의 한계로 인해 홍수예보 활용에 어려움을 야기해왔다. 최근에는 수직반사도, 차등반사도, 비차등반사도 등 다양한 변수 취득을 통해 강우입자의 형태를 더욱 정확하게 추정할 수 있는 이중편파 레이더의 활용이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 홍수예보 활용을 위해 이중편파 레이더 실황강우 및 예측강우의 정확도를 평가하고자 한다. 평가를 위해 비슬산 레이더 자료를 활용하였으며, 2012~2014년의 강우사상을 선정하였다. 단일 및 이중편파 레이더 강우를 각각 추정하고, 강우예측을 위해 추정된 레이더 강우를 이류모델(Translation model)에 연계하여 선행 6시간까지의 예측강우를 생산하였다. 강우의 탐지능력 평가를 위해 Hit rate를 이용하였으며, 레이더 관측반경 증가 및 강우강도의 증가에 따른 정확도 분석을 수행하였다. 강수추정 정확도 평가를 위해 상관계수와 평균제곱근 오차를 이용하였으며, 비슬산 강우레이더 100 km 반경 내에 속한 국토교통부 관할의 지상관측강우와비교하였다. 그 결과, 이중편파 레이더 실황강우가 단일편파 레이더에 비해 지상관측강우의 거동과 더욱 유사하게 나타났으며, 양적인 오차도 더 적은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 레이더 예측강우는 선행시간이 증가함에 따라 정확도가 감소하였으나, 선행시간 1시간까지는 활용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

In this paper, a single-feed equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners is used for achieving diverse radiation polarization. The proposed antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is place parallel to an oblique side of the equilateral-triangular patch. Depending on whether the three identically-sized comers of the triangular patch are cut or not, the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna shows linear polarization(LP) or left-hand circular polarization(LHCP) or Tight-hand circular polarization(RHCP). Based on the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners, a novel reconfigurable microstrip antenna with switchable polarization sense is also proposed. The proposed reconfigurable antenna has a simple structure, consisting of a corner-truncated triangular patch, a small triangular conductor, and a microstrip line. Using a biased PIN diode between the patch and the small triangular conductor, it can produce LP or RHCP according to bias voltages. From the measured results, low cross polarization level when operated in the linear state and good axial ratio in the circular state are observed.

The objective of this study is to assess the dual-polarization radar for flood forecasting. First, radar rainfall has temporal and spatial errors, so estimated radar rainfall was compared with ground observation rainfall to assess accuracy improvement, especially, considering the radar range of observation and increase of the rainfall intensity. The results of this study showed that the error for estimated dual-polarization radar rainfall was less than single-polarization radar rainfall. And in this study, dual-polarization radar rainfall for flood forecasting was assessed using MAP (Mean Areal Precipitation) and SURR (Sejong University Rainfall Runoff) model in Namkang dam watershed. The results of MAP are more accurate using dual-polarization radar. And the results of runoff using dual-polarization radar rainfall showed that peak flow error was reduced approximately 12~63%, runoff volumes error was reduced by approximately 30~42%, and also the root mean square error decreased compared to the result of runoff using single-polarization radar rainfall. The results revealed that dual-polarization radar will contribute to improving the accuracy of the flood forecasting.

본 논문에서는 3D Ray Tracing 편파특성 예측 시뮬레이터를 개발하고 초고속 옥내 무선환경에서의 원형편파 우수성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 제안된 3D Ray Tracing 기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과 기수회의 반사파가 수신기에서 수신되지 않는 원형판파의 특성 때문에 다중경로 페이딩을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 옥내 가시거리(LOS) 및 비가시거리(NLOS) 환경에서의 원형편파를 이용한 페이딩 경감효과는 수직 및 수평견파나 편파다이버시티보다 우수함을 알 수 있었고, DS-CDMA 시스템을 이용한 경우에 있어서도 원형편파가 보다 우수한 BER 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

In this paper, dual-polarized monopulse cassegrain antenna for W-band millimeter-wave seeker was proposed and the performances were verified by the measured results of the fabricated antenna. Dual-polarized monopulse Cassegrain antenna consists of main/subreflector, dual-polarized feed horn and monopulse comparator. The proposed feed horn has $2{\times}2$ array square waveguide feeding structure to make monopulse signals and it was designed using 90 degree rotational symmetric structure to receive dual-polarized signals. At the sum and difference channel, the measured vertical and horizontal polarization radiation pattern were similar. Measurement gains are 35.1 dBi for v-pol. and 35.6 dBi for h-pol. at the center frequency with 0.5dBi difference between each polarization and the side lobe level is below -21.6 dB.

We investigated the effects of the CSRR-metamaterial on microstrip comb-line array antennas. Microstrip comb-line array antennas was designed with 12 radiators, gain of 16.09dBi and bandwidth of 0.24GHz in the 24GHz ISM band. The designed antenna had radiation beam perpendicular to the antenna plane, co-polarization gain of 16.09dBi and cross-polarization gain of -10.86dBi. the CSRR-metamaterial increased largely the impedance bandwidth of the antenna from 0.24GHz to 3.6GHz. however as co-polarization gain became 10.08dBi and cross-polarization gain became 14.1dBi, co-polarization was mixed with cross-polarization. And the antenna gain lowered by 1.99dB. On the investigation of the dependence on the split-direction of the CSRR rings, it showed nearly the same characteristics for up-splitted ring used case and down-splitted ring used case. However in the case of arranging up-splitted ring and down-splitted ring in alternation, co-polarization gain decreased to -1.29dBi and cross-polarization gain increased to 13.9dBi, which meant the wave was transited to cross-polarization majority wave.

In this paper, quadruple polarized antenna system with a reconfigurable feeding network is presented. The proposed antenna system consists of the reconfigurable feeding network for fourth polarization such as vertical/horizontal linear polarization and right-handed/left-handed circular polarizations or 45 degree tilted vertical/horizontal linear polarization and patch antenna to receive the signals with various polarizations. In order to receive a signal in any direction, the proposed antenna is designed by electrical switches for reconfigurable polarization. The insertion loss of the designed feeding network in the proposed antenna system is approximately 1.2 dB. The measured 3 dB axial bandwidth and gain of the proposed antenna are about 2 % and 4 dBi(c).
