The differential global positioning system (DGPS) transmits a GPS enhancement signal using a top-loaded monopole antenna in the medium frequency range. The top-loaded antenna in the medium frequency band can attain a radiation efficiency on the order of 10%. The antenna ground plane characteristics affect the antenna radiation efficiency. To improve the radiation efficiency, it is necessary to install the antenna on a ground plane with large enough physical dimensions and good conductivity. The antenna radiation efficiency is a primary factor in determining the DGPS service area. The service area of the DGPS using a medium frequency band is dominantly affected by the antenna radiation efficiency. To determine antenna radiation efficiencies accurately, the antenna radiation efficiencies of DGPS are deduced from the propagation power in this paper. Based on the deduced antenna radiation efficiencies, the service area for the Korean nationwide-DGPS is analyzed and evaluated.

In this paper, the method of isolation enhancement for the mobile phone MIMO antenna of LTE class 40(2300~2400MHz) was studied. Design of MIMO antenna was based on the hybrid antenna that operates both a monopole and an IFA(Inverted F Antenna). A structure for the isolation enhancement which controls induced electric field on the ground plane is located between MIMO antenna, and was not connected with the ground but apart 0.3mm. A MIMO antenna that operates on class 3~40(1710~2400MHz) of LTE service bands and a structure for the isolation enhancement at the class 10 band were designed. VSWR measurement of implemented antenna on the FR4 board showed within 3:1 at entire design bands, and isolation between antennas at the class 40 band was less than -30dB. Isolation was enhanced more than 20dB by the studied structure. ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) for MIMO performance was under 0.1, and antenna average gain and efficiency measured in the anechoic chamber were -4.28~-1.40dBi and 37.32~72.36% respectively.

This work presents a new method for enhancing the performance of a dual band Planer Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) and its lumped equivalent circuit formulation. The performance of a PIFA in terms of return loss, bandwidth, gain, and efficiency is improved with the addition of the proposed open stub in the radiating element of the PIFA without disturbing the operating resonance frequencies of the antenna. In specific cases, various simulated and fabricated PIFA models illustrate that the return loss, bandwidth, gain, and efficiency values of antennas with longer optimum open stub lengths can be enhanced up to 4.6 dB, 17%, 1.8 dBi, and 12.4% respectively, when compared with models that do not have open stubs. The proposed open stub is small and does not interfere with the surrounding active modules; therefore, this method is extremely attractive from a practical implementation point of view. The second presented work is a simple procedure for the development of a lumped equivalent circuit model of a dual band PIFA using the rational approximation of its frequency domain response. In this method, the PIFA's measured frequency response is approximated to a rational function using a vector fitting technique and then electrical circuit parameters are extracted from it. The measured results show good agreement with the electrical circuit results. A correlation study between circuit elements and physical open stub lengths in various antenna models is also discussed in detail; this information could be useful for the enhancement of the performance of a PIFA as well as for its systematic design. The computed radiated power obtained using the electrical model is in agreement with the radiated power results obtained through the full wave electromagnetic simulations of the antenna models. The presented approach offers the advantage of saving computation time for full wave EM simulations. In addition, the electrical circuit depicting almost perfect characteristics for return loss and radiated power can be shared with antenna users without sharing the actual antenna structure in cases involving confidentiality limitations.

We derive the Z-parameters for the two coupled antennas used for wireless power transfer under the assumption that the antennas are canonical minimum scattering antennas. Using the Z-parameter and the maximum power transfer efficiency formula, we determine the maximum power transfer efficiency of wireless power transfer systems. The results showed that the maximum power transfer efficiency increases as the mode number or the radiation efficiency increases. To verify the theory, we fabricate and measure two different power transfer systems: one comprises two antennas generating $TM_{01}$ mode; the other comprises two antennas generating $TM_{02}$ mode. When the distance between the centers of the antennas was 30 cm, the maximum power transfer efficiency of the antennas generating the $TM_{02}$ mode increased by 62 % compared to that of the antennas generating the $TM_{01}$ mode.

This paper investigates a protocol so-called Adaptive Harvest Then Transmit (AHTT) for wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) in multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink systems, which assists in transmitting signals from a multi-antenna transmitter to a single-antenna receiver. Particularly, the power constrained relay is supplied with power by utilizing radio frequency (RF) signals from the source. In order to take advantage of multiple antennas, two different linear processing schemes, including Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Selection Combination (SC) are studied. The system outage capacity and ergodic capacity are evaluated for performance analysis. Furthermore, the optimal power allocation is also considered. Our numerical and simulation results prove that the implementation of multiple antennas helps boost the energy harvesting capability. Therefore, this paper puts forward a new way to the energy efficiency (EE) enhancement, which contributes to better system performance.

본 논문에서는 근거리에서 효율 향상을 위해 적응 주파수 제어 회로를 갖는 HF-대역 무선 전력 전송 시스템을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 무선 전력 전송 시스템은 공진기 간의 이격 거리가 가까워짐에 따라 결합 계수가 변하게 되며, 이는 반사 임피던스에 의한 임피던스 부정합을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방식은 전압제어 발진기의 공진 주파수를 이격 거리에 따라 자동으로 가변함으로써 공진기 간의 거리가 가까워 임피던스 부정합이 큰 경우에도 전송 효율의 저하를 막을 수 있다. 적응 주파수 제어 회로는 방향성 결합기, 검파기 및 루프 필터로 구성된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 유용성을 입증하기 위하여 HF-대역에서 동작하는 30${\times}$30 $cm^2$ 크기의 루프 안테나를 갖는 무선 전력 전송 시스템을 설계하여 측정한 결과 근거리에서 효율이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Security and resource-saving are both demands of the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. In this paper, we study the secrecy spectrum efficiency (SSE) and secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) of a K-tier massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) enabled heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet), in which artificial noise (AN) are employed for secrecy enhancement. Assuming (i) independent Poisson point process model for the locations of base stations (BSs) of each tier as well as that of eavesdroppers, (ii) zero-forcing precoding at the macrocell BSs (MBSs), and (iii) maximum average received power-based cell selection, the tractable lower bound expressions for SSE and SEE of massive MIMO enabled HetNets are derived. Then, the influences on secrecy oriented spectrum and energy efficiency performance caused by the power allocation for AN, transmit antenna number, number of users served by each MBS, and eavesdropper density are analyzed respectively. Moreover, the analysis accuracy is verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

본 논문은 결함 모드 특성을 갖는 주파수 선택적 표면에 의한 WCDMA에서 동작하는 안테나의 이득 향상을 위한 설계와 제작에 대해 다룬다. 제안된 결함 모드 특성을 갖는 FSS 단위 셀은 동일한 크기의 일반적인 단위 셀보다 낮은 주파수 대역에서 적용이 가능하므로 단위 셀의 크기를 66 % 정도 축소시키었다. 단위 셀의 최적화 된 배열 개수는 $13{\times}13$으로 하였으며, WCDMA 송신 대역과 수신 대역에서 동작하는 패치 안테나를 각각 설계하였다. 사각형 구조의 단일 패치 안테나를 사용하여 WCDMA 대역을 포함한 동작 특성을 나타내도록 하였다. 모의 실험한 결과, 송신 대역에서 제안된 FSS-1 복합체 구조(송신 대역의 패치 안테나와 FSS)의 이득은 9.98 dBi에서 13.28 dBi로 3.3 dB 향상되었다. 수신 대역에서 제안된 FSS-2 복합체 구조(수신 대역의 패치 안테나와 FSS)의 이득은 9.81 dBi에서 15.34 dBi로 5.53 dB 향상되었다 측정 결과 제작된 FSS 복합체 안테나는 약 337 MHz($1.87{\sim}2.21GHz$)의 대역폭을 가지며 1.95 GHz에서 11.39 dBi, 2.05 GHz에서 13.11 dBi, 2.14 GHz에서 11.09 dBi의 이득을 나타내었고, 방사 효율은 81 %임을 확인하였다. 제안된 FSS 복합체 안테나는 높은 이득을 갖기 때문에 WCDMA 중계기 시스템에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
