In order to improve the radiation characteristics of the microstrip antenna, microstrip array antenna consisting of one center patch fed by a coaxial probe and several patches directly coupled to the E-plane by microstrip line is analyzed. The equivalent circuit of the array antenna is represented by the conventional transmission line and the various parameters, such as the mdicrostrip line length, the patch length and the feed point location are calculated to improve the radiation pattern for 5-patch array antenna which has the equal patch width. The 5-patch array antenna with the radiation pattern which has low sidelobe level and narrow beam width is fabricated and then the measured results are compared with the computed values and the results of the single patch microstrip antenna too.

In this paper, to transmit and receive the differently polarized wideband signals simultaneously with a single antenna system, the wideband, dual-frequency and dual-polarized(WDFDP) microstrip array antenna is proposed and designed. This antenna operates simultaneously at 14.25 GHz and 12.50 GHz. To extend to two dimensional array, microstrip feed line and coaxial probe through via-hole are used. The experimental results show that the proposed WDFDP microstrip antenna can be used in the compact portable terminals with a single antenna system and the characteristic of the resonators in this antenna produces a greatly enhanced bandwidth.

In this study, the antenna was proposed for the omni-directional characteristic in horizontal plane. Therefore we proposed $1{\times}4$ microstrip patch array on cylindrical surface for studying microstrip patch antennas. This antenna is designed for 2.45GHz ISM band and applications. This antenna can be applied to the base station of wireless microphone and access point of wireless LAN. The length and width of the patch antenna and the width of the feed line were calculated by using the theory of microstrip patch antenna, by using the both the 2.5D and 3D EM simulators the optimized antenna characteristics are obtained. From result of measured, antenna's impedance of coaxial waveguide port was 51.915-j3.688 ${\Omega}$, the return loss was -31dB and VSWR was 1.081.

A series of conductive filler were prepared with electroless plating method. Base conductive materials of the filler were nickel and copper. The cores were prepared with Nylon 6 and rayon in different aspect ratio. Also, various complexes were made with ABS resin and conductive filler with different filler feed ratio. The conductivity of the filler was measured with conductivity analyzer and the size distributions of fillers was measured with laser particle size analyzer. Electromagnetic wave shielding efficiency of each complex film was measured with flange circular coaxial transmission line sample holder within the 1MHz$\sim$1GHz bandwidth range. From this study, the conductivity of filers surpass that of other carbon films. It is available that the filler made of fibrous materials can be applied in plastic molding industry of electric appliances as a EMI filler.

In this paper, hem antenna composed of rectangular hern, circular polarizer and straight-type mode convertor is designed and fabricated. The circular polarizer is designed as a dielectric type having broadband characteristic, and it is inserted into the rectangular hem with $45^{\circ}$ inclination. The straight-type mode convertor has a terrace-type structure in order to convert the TEM mode signal of coaxial cable to the TE mode of rectangular waveguide, and this structure minimizes conversion loss. Fabricated hem antenna operates at $30.085\sim30.885GHz$ and has VSWR < 1.5, Axial ratio < 1.0dB and antenna gain of $6.7\sim7.0dBi$ in the band.

In this paper, Quad-Band small antenna for GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, DCS1900 is designed and fabricated. The antenna achieved the size reduction of over 67.9 % than the conventional PIFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) by using a MD(Magneto-Dielectric) material. A simple feeding microstrip line is used to feed the antenna from a $50{\Omega}$ coaxial line, which is capacitively coupled to the grounded patch structure for broadband characteristics. The impedance bandwidth the proposed antenna shows good results as broadband characteristics of 1341 MHz (801 ~ 2142 MHz) in VSWR < 3 (${\leq}\;-6\;dB$) and the gain is -6.67 ~ 4.25 dBi in the operating frequency.

This paper examined the conversion of methane to hydrogen and other higher hydrocarbons using dielectric barrier discharge with AC pulse power. Two metal electrodes of a coaxial-type plasma reactor were separated by gas gap and an alumina tube. The inner electrode was located inside the alumina tube. The alumina tube was located inside the stainless steel tube, which was used as the outer electrode. Effect of feed gas composition (methane, oxygen, argon, water and helium), flow rate, applied frequency, input volt-age on methane conversion and product distribution were studied. The major products of plasma chemical reactions were ethylene, ethane, propane, buthane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The increment of applied voltage and the usage of inert gas as the background (helium and argon) enhanced the selectivity of hydrocarbons and methane conversion. The addition of water in the feed stream enhanced the conversion of methane and yield of hydrogen. Higher voltage leads to higher yield of $C_2H_6,\;C_3H_8,\;C_4H_{10}$ and yield or $C_2H_2\;and\;C_2H_4$ appeared highly in lower voltage.

In this paper, the hybrid antenna utilizing epsilon negative zeroth-order resonance(ENG ZOR) and $TM_{010}$-mode is presented. The antenna has a directional radiation pattern and improved bandwidth. To obtain a ENG ZOR and $TM_{010}$-mode, the hybrid antenna employs the mushroom structure and the microstrip patch, respectively. Two antennas of the mushroom and the patch are coupled by gap and fed by one coaxial feed. The frequencies of ENG ZOR and of $TM_{010}$ resonance are designed to be 4 GHz and 3.9 GHz, respectively. Because two resonant frequencies are set to be close, the dual-resonance can be formed, resulting in the broader bandwidth. Even though the radiation pattern of an ENG ZOR antenna is omnidirectional, the directional radiation of a microstrip patch antenna compensates the null of omnidirectional pattern of an ENG ZOR antenna. Thus, the hybrid antenna has a directional radiation pattern. The antennas having 4, 3, and 2 unit cells of mushroom structure are designed and analyzed. The antennas have fractional bandwidths of 4.29~4.95 %, gains of 3.16~5.57 dBi, and radiation efficiencies of 62.4~94.2 %.
