최근에 새로운 전파이용기술이 상용화됨에 따라, 주파수 혼신 및 상호간섭에 의한 무선설비의 보호 및 전파이용 통신서비스의 질적 수준의 유지를 위하여 무선장비들에서 나오는 출력 전력을 제한하고 있다. 현재, 국내에서는 출력전력을 공중선전력(전도성전력)으로만 측정을 하는데, 이것은 실제로 복사되는 출력전력이 아니므로 좀더 정확한 출력전력의 측정방법을 알아보기 위해 국내.외의 복사성 전력의 기술기준 및 측정방법을 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 미국과 유럽은 실제로 복사되는 출력전력을 안테나에서 나오는 출력전력뿐만 아니라 안테나의 이득까지 고려한 복사성 전력인 EIRP(등가등방성복사 전력 : Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power)와 ERP(유효복사전력: Effective Radiated Power)를 사용하여 측정하고 있었다. 또한 복사성 전력 측정시 주파수대 별로 1GHz이하인 경우에는 기준 안테나를 반파장 다이폴 안테나를 사용하여 ERP로 측정을 하며, 1GHz 이상인 경우에는 기준 안테나를 혼 안테나를 사용하고 ERP로 측정을 하고 있었다. 따라서,우리나라도 보다 정확한 출력 전력의 측정 및 규제를 위하여 실제로 복사되어지는 EIRP와 ERP를 고려 할 필요가 있다.

This paper presents an implementation of a millimeter-wave(W band) multiflare-angle horn antenna. The proposed antenna is a multimode dual-polarized square horn having equal E- and H-plane beamwidths and consists of a multimode generating section, a four-square-waveguide exciter, orthomode transducers, and power combiners for the sum pattern formation. The antenna structure has been designed to allow for easy fabrication and the designed antenna has been fabricated to a precision of ${\pm}0.02mm$ by layer-by-layer machining and diffusion bonding. The input reflection coefficient and the radiation pattern of the fabricated antenna have been measured using a network analyzer and a far-field test facility. Measurements show that the proposed antenna has 17.7~18.3 dBi gain, $25.2{\sim}28.5^{\circ}$ beamwidth, and an input VSWR between 1.02~1.75, within ${\pm}0.5GHz$ from the center frequency.

한국수자원공사에서는 1998년부터 단계적으로 12~14 GHz의 Ku-band 대역을 사용하고 있는 무궁화위성을 이용하여 우량 및 수위, 경보 등의 데이터를 송수신하고 있으며, 특히 강우가 집중되는 기간 동안에는 그 데이터의 필요성이 더욱 큰 실정이다. 사용하고 있는 위성통신망 주파수의 파장은 2~2.5 cm 이므로 물방울 입자에 의해 산란되는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 이로 인해 안테나 및 휘드혼의 표면에 물방울이 묻어 있으면 전파가 산란되어 신호가 감쇠되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우시 안테나 및 휘드혼 표면에 발생하는 물방울 맺힘 현상에 대해 물방울과 전파신호간의 상관관계를 분석하고, 위성안테나 성능을 개선방안을 시험하여, 강우로 인한 위성신호의 감쇠를 최소화하여, 최적화된 안테나 성능 구현으로 강우 영향을 최소화하여 안정적인 위성단말국을 운영하고자 한다.

Recently, there is developed various antenna's models due to increment of wireless communication the need of quantitative study on antenna's measuring technology gets to highlight. In this paper, we propose algorithm of antenna's edge alignment for making automatic measuring system of antenna's characteristics of near-field measurement system of antenna. The proposed algorithm gets the bottom image of antenna from camera, extracts antenna object, and finds the boundary the object. The proposed algorithm calculates distortion of the object using the extracted boundary and the angle to correct this. The proposed algorithm is applied to the standard gain horn antenna. The results show that antenna's object is efficiently extracted and the angle for correcting the error is calculated.

An antenna gain measurement system using an extrapolation technique is described. The technique is similar to the usual two-antenna method for absolute gain measurement system, but involves the measurement of the received signal as a function of seperation in short distances, and the signal-versus-seperation data is processed in a way that allows an extrapolation of the signal to "infinite" seperation. In this technique it is possible to obtain the near field gain as function of distance by combining the far field gain and a proximity correction factor. The results of gain measurements of standard gain horn antennas and OEG (open ended waveguide) antennas are also presented.

The radiation characteristics of the conical corrugated feed horn are analyzed by the Gaussian beam mode theory. the electric field over the aperture can be expanded in terms of a set of Gaussian-Laguerre modes. It is proved that these modes are the solutions of the wave epuations for the paraxial approximation. A method, using the sum of the mode expansion coefficients instead of calculation only the fundamental mode, is presented in order to reduce the radiation pattern error. For illustrative examples, the radiation patterns of the corrugated horn antenna operting over C, Ku, and mm-wave band are calculated. Our results agree well with the results obtained by the vector potential method over each band, and also agree well with the measured value at 6.175GHz.

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.

본 논문에서는 3차원 feed horn 안테나를 볼로미터에 결합함으로써 감지도(Detectivity)를 향상시킨 비가시광 영상 감지 소자를 제안하였다. Feed horn 안테나의 우수한 지향성(Directivity)를 통해서 주위의 잡음 성분을 제거함으로써 감지도의 향상을 확인할 수 있었다. 안테나와 볼로미터와의 결합 손실을 줄이기 위해서 볼로미터의 흡수층의 모양을 원형의 형태로 하였으며 크기도 안테나 폭과 일치를 시켰다. 또한 열적 고립 구조를 만들기 위한 지지 다리의 모양도 원형의 형태로 하여서 전체 길이를 증가 시켰으며 이로 인해 열전도도(Thermal conductance)를 $4.65{\times}10^{-8}$[W/K]까지 낮출 수 있었 다. 설계된 소자의 감지도는 $2.37{\times}10^{9}$[$cm\sqrt{Hz}/W$]을 나타내었으며 안테나 결합을 통한 감지도의 향상을 확인 할 수 있었다. 볼로미터의 제작은 MEMS 기술을 이용한 표면미세가공(Surface micromachining)법으로 열적 고립 구조체를 제작할 수 있으며 3차원 feed horn안테나는 SU-8이라는 음성 감광제를 경사회전노광시켜서 제작할 수 있다.

In this paper, we proposed the wireless communication system using millimeter-wave envelope detector. The sub-harmonic mixer based on schottky barrier diode was used in the transmitter. The receiver was used millimeter-wave envelope detector. The transmitter was composed of schottky diode sub-harmonic mixer, frequency tripler, and horn antenna. The receiver was composed of horn antenna, millimeter-wave envelope detector, low pass filter, base band amplifier, and limiting amplifier. At 1.485 Gbps and 300 GHz, the eye-diagram showed a very good performance as measured by the error free. Communication distance is reduced compared to the heterodyne receiver, but compact and lightweight is possible.
