This paper describes a design for a spiral antenna with a conical wall to obtain the high gain. The gain and the axial ratio of the spiral antenna were improved by a new design that included a conical wall and an optimized Archimedean slit on the ground plane in a conventional antenna with a circular cavity wall and a 4.5-turn slit. A gain improvement of 9.5 dBi higher and a good axial ratio of 1.9 dB lower were measured by the added conical wall and the newly designed slit from the current distribution control on the ground plane, respectively. The measured return loss, gain and axial ratio of the proposed antenna showed a good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antenna will be applied to a non-linear junction detector system.

We discuss the influence of annular binary filters on the axial PSF of imaging systems which are apodized by a radiallysymmetric filter and have spherical aberration and coma. In this paper we consider a whole family of annular binary fIlters in two cases. First, the binary filters are composed of two transparent annuli of the same area. Second, the binary filters are composed of a central clear circle and a concentric annular aperture with area bigger than that of the inner circle. In order to investigate the influence of the proposed filters on the axial PSF, we may use the axial resolution gains, which evaluate in terms of the FWHM of the intensity in the focal region of an apodized imaging system in comparison with that corresponding to a nonapodized one. We evaluate the PSF for the conventional and confocal systems having an aberration. ation.

This paper proposes a theoretical analysis of hidden device detection and a design of multiband circular polarization patch array antenna for non-linear junction detector system application. A good axial ratio of circular polarization patch antenna is realized by a new approach that employs inclined slots, two rectangular grooves and a truncated ground for the conventional antenna. A good axial ratio of the 1.5 dB lower is measured by having an asymmetric gap distance between the ground planes of the coplanar waveguide feeding structure. The common ground plane of the linear array has an optimum trapezoidal slot array to reduce the mutual coupling without increasing the distance between the radiators. The higher gain of about 1 dBi is realized by using the novel common ground structure. The measured return loss, gain, and axial ratio of the proposed single radiator, as well as the proposed array antennas, showed a good agreement with the simulated results.

This paper is in regard to design and experiment about the radar's circular polarization antenna operating in the Ku band. By using the Post to manufacture the circular polarization antenna using the linear antenna, it could reduce the structural size of an antenna. 3 Posts were used in order to broaden the Axial ration Bandwidth of the circular polarization antenna. The distance and length between Posts and Post were appropriately selected for the axial ratio optimization and applied in the design. It was verified that the designed antenna has the impedence bandwidth of 12.7%, axial ratio performance less than 2dB and gain of 7.8dBi.

In this pater, a CP-DRA(Circularly Polarized Dielectric Resonator Antenna) using cross-slot-feed is studied to enhance the gain and axial ratio bandwidth. First, a single layer CP-DRA is studied as a reference for comparison. Then a new type of multilayer CP-DRA is proposed to enhance the gain and axial ratio bandwidth. In consideration of the antenna gain enhancement, the spacing between the elements of the multilayer CP-DRA is examined through analysis of the radiation performance of a 2$\times$2 planar amy of DRAs with a spacing of 0.7$\lambda_0$ and 1.2$\lambda_0$ using CST Microwave Studio. The measured result shows that the gain and bandwidth of the multilayer structure is approximately twice that of the single layer one. In the case of the array antenna in which the spacing between multilayer CP-DRA element is 1.2$\lambda_0$, a grating lobe is reduced, in contrast to what we can expect from a conventional antenna array. The gain is 13.4dBi and axial ratio bandwidth is 0.8GHz.

Center of photon mass(CPM), defined as the center of axial photon distribution, is proposed as a unified design parameter, which contains information about both threshold gain and nonuniformity of axial photon distribution in DFB lasers with low and high-reflection facets. The CPM is inversely proportional to threshold gain and is 0.5 when axial photon distribution is the most uniform. Therefore, a general rule of single-frequency leser design is that main mode CPM should be around 0.5 for-uniform axial photon distribution and side mode CPM should be minimized to maximize the threshold gain difference.

This paper describes the design of a slit on ground plane to improve the axial ratio of the spiral antenna for the NLJD system application. A proposed slit shape located on the ground plane is changed to compare with the archimedean spiral slit shape of the antenna in reference [7]. In order to improve the axial ratio, the slit on the ground plane is divided by the uniform angle and the conductor of position where the current has the opposite direction each other is eliminated. Measured return loss, radiation pattern and gain show a good agreement with the computer simulation results. Even though the proposed slit structure on the ground plane was changed to compare with ones of reference [7], the characteristics such as return loss, radiation pattern and gain are not almost changed and only the axial ratio was remarkably improved at 4.88 GHz.

A circularly polarized $12\times12$ array with application in the satellite communications is designed at 10 GHz. The radiator is an aperture-coupled ring patch, which is suitable of large arrays. The element spacing of the array is chosen to be $0.7\lambda_0$to maintain the main beam in the broadside direction. The array is a sequential array constructed on a series-parallel feed network to obtain high gain and low axial ratio. Measurement results for the array, acquired by experiments in the compact range of POSTECH, showed a directivity of 27.88 dB, a high gain of 25.55 dB, an efficiency of 60%, an axial ratio of 1.74 dB, and a side-lobe level of -13 dB. The bandwidth of the array was 43% when the VSWR was 2, and the bandwidth of the axial ratio was 16%.

In this paper, the adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm is employed to design a gain-enhanced antenna with a reflector for energy harvesting. We placed the reflector below the main radiating element. Its back-radiated field is reflected and added to the forward radiated field, which could increase the antenna gain. We adopt the adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm, which improves the speed of convergence with a high frequency solver. The result shows that performance of the optimized design successfully satisfied the design goal of the frequency band, gain and axial ratio.
