In this paper, a MIMO antenna is proposed for LTE/DCSl800/USPCSl900 handset applications. The proposed antenna is based on the IFA and its wide bandwidth is obtained by using a stagger tuning technique. To improve the isolation, a suspended line is connected to the shorting points in two antennas, and capacitors and inductors are added to the connected suspended line. Two identical antennas of which dimension is 2.8cc($40{\times}10{\times}7mm$) are mounted on the two end lines of the system ground plane($40{\times}60mm$). Analysis of the antenna performance and optimization is performed using CST Microwave Studio. The bandwidths are satisfied for LTE band class 13(746-787MHz), class 14(758-798MHz) and DCSl800/USPCSl900 band (1710-1990MHz). The isolations between two antennas are about -12dB for LTE band and -10dB for DCSl800/USPCSl900 band. And the radiation efficiency of each antenna is about for LTE band 33% and 45% for DCSl800/USPCSl900 band respectively.

In this paper, a slotted waveguide feeder for the electric field uniformity in multi-mode cavity is designed and fabricated. In case of the conventional feeder, a mode stirrer or a turntable is used for improving electric field uniformity in the multi-mode cavity. The proposed feeder has four slots, which have uniform radiation characteristic, on broad wall and shorted terminations at both ends. The electric field uniformity is simulated by CST's MWS(Microwave Studio) for the conventional and proposed feeders, respectively. The fabricated feeder shows the return loss of less than -20 dB at 2.45 GHz. To verify the validity of our proposal, the temperature distribution of the water samples in the multi- mode cavity is observed after a few minutes' heating. The proposed feeder is confirmed to have much better field uniformity in the multi-mode cavity than the conventional feeder.

In this paper, a rectangular loop array antenna for beam scanning is designed. A program using RWG MoM(Rao Wilton Glisson Method of Moment) is developed for SEP(Scan Element Pattern) theoretically. Simulation results obtained by using a commercial software tool, MWS are compared with the MoM results to confirm the validity of the program. Also these results are compared with the measured ones for the case of an $8{\times}5$ subarray. The fabricated $8{\times}5$ subarray showed a flat gain characteristic in the elevation scan range of ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ in the E-plane.

In this paper, a microstrip antenna for LTE / WiMAX is designed for UWB communication. The proposed antenna is designed for FR-4 (er = 4.3), 29[mm] x 45[mm], and can be used in the LTE frequency band of 1.82[GHz] and the WiMAX frequency band of 3.5[GHz]. Studio 2014 was used. The simulation results show 1.785[dB] at 1.82[GHz] and 1.720[dB] at 3.5[GHz]. S-parameters were also found to be less than -10dB (WSWR2: 1) in the desired frequency band. In order to achieve broadband, miniaturization, low cost and low loss, Width, length, width of transmission line, etc. were calculated. Therefore, it is considered that the applicable antenna can be applied satisfying the desired condition.

In this paper, A planar UWB antenna with notched WLAN band, 802.11a band (5.15 ~ 5.825GHz), by using slot and slit is designed by using CST Microwave Studio. The notched bandwidth can be controlled by the length and width of the slot and slit in the patch and ground plane and it's radiation characteristics are examined through the experiments. The bandwidth based on the -10dB return loss level can be covered the full UWB band (3.1 ~ 10.6GHz) with a notched WLAN band (5.147 ~ 5.83GHz). Also, the experimental radiation pattern is almost omnidirectional in the H-plane.

A cutoff probe is the novel diagnostic method to get the absolute plasma density with simple system and less assumption. However, high density of ion flux from plasma on probe tip can make the error of plasma density measurement because the dielectric material of probe tip can be damaged by ion flux. We proposed a shielded cutoff probe using the ceramic tube for protection from ion flux. The ceramic tube on probe tip can intercept the ion flux from plasma. The transmitted spectrum using the shielded cutoff probe is good agreement with E/M wave simulation result (CST Microwave Studio) and previous circuit simulation of cutoff probe [1]. From the analysis of the measured transmitted spectrum base on the circuit modeling, the parallel resonance frequency is same as the unshielded cutoff probe case. The obtained results of electron density is presented and discussed in wide range of experimental conditions, together with comparison result with previous cutoff method.

This paper presents the design of a novel small and wide band planar inverted F-antenna which simultaneously covers GSM900/GPS/DCS1800/DCS1900/DMB service. The proposed antenna consisting of a main patch with rectangular slit, strip 1 and strip 2, occupied the total volume of.$15\times36\times6mm^3$. A very wide impedance bandwidth characteristic was achieved by optimizing both the distance between the feed line and short strip and the length of rectangular slit on the main patch. The commercial electromagnetic software, CST Microwave Studio, is used to design the structure. The maximum gains at the frequencies of 900, 1575, 1800, 1900, and 2600 MHz were 2.07, 1.07, 1.69 and 0.55, -1.99 dBi, respectively. The overall shape of the radiation patterns is suitable for mobile communication application.

본 논문에서 하지 정맥 지료를 위한 마이크로파 시스템에서 사용될 가열 안테나의 전계 분포를 균일하게 형성시키기 위해 철사 도파관 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 일반적인 도파관 안테나에 경우 안테나 중심 부분에 전계가 가장 세게 분포되어 온도가 다른 곳에 비해 차이가 많이 나므로 인체 피부가 회상을 입힐 위험이 있다. 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나는 끝단에 가느다란 철을 이용하여 전기장을 철사 부분에 집중시켜 안테나 중앙 부분에 집중된 전기장을 분산되도록 설계하였다. 따라서 전기장을 소스로 하는 온도도 균일하게 분포하게 된다. 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나 내부의 전계 분포는 Ansoft 사의 HFSS, 온도 분포는 CST 사의 MWS(Microwave Studio)를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 일반적인 안테나 경우보다 더 균일한 전계와 온도 분포 특성을 보임을 확인하였다. 제작된 철사 안테나는 사용주파수 15GHz에서 -10dB 이하의 반사 손실을 보였다. 또한 안테나 타당성을 검증하기 위해 개구면 앞에 돼지 껍데기를 두고 일정시간 가열하여 일반 안테나와 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나 온도 분포를 비교하였다. 열화상 카메라를 이용한 실험결과 일반 안테나에 경우 중앙과 가장 자리부분 사이에 약 $29^{\circ}C$, 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나에 경우에는 약 $12.5^{\circ}C$의 차이를 보였다. 이를 통해 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나가 전계 분포 균일성 향상에 기여함을 확인하였다.
