This paper presents a multi-functional microstrip spital antenna that operates in dual frequency bands. Several types of beam shape can be selected by controlling the phase difference of two spiral arms with the phase shifters located on each feed line. It has a normal beam at the lower frequency band, and four different patterns at the higher frequency band: normal beam, conical beam and two types of tilted beam. The antenna exhibits more than 10% of bandwidth at each band. The antenna is fabricated with conductor backed electromagnetic absorber in order to attain unidirectional radiation pattern and confirmed the multi-functionality by measurements.

This paper dealt with the radiated electromagnetic wave detection of partial discharge (PD) in oil for insulation diagnostics of oil-immersed transformers. Three types of electrode system were fabricated to simulate the insulation defects that could occur in oil-immersed transformers. Frequency components of radiated electromagnetic wave in oil was measured by broadband bi-conical antennas of 300 MHz~2 GHz and a spectrum analyzer of 9 kHz~3 GHz. Frequency component of electromagnetic waves from PD in oil were highly distributed at 500 MHz. From the result, a narrow-band monopole antenna with the center frequency of 500 MHz was fabricated. We could detect PD signal in insulation oil without an influence of external noise by a measurement system which consists of the prototype monopole antenna, a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier), an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer.

In this paper, we propose a Axially displaced ellipse gregorian antenna with conical feed horn operating in Ku-band. For fast searching satellite position, it is designed the sub-reflector rotates about $1.5^{\circ}$ tilted by the central axis. the curvature and feed center of the main-reflector and sub-reflector are optimized to achieve maximum antenna efficiency. The designed reflector antenna shows the gain of 33dB and the cross polarization level of less than -21dB and the side-lobe level of less than －14 dB at 12.2 GHz. and C/N ratio of 19dB is proved by reception experiment of Koreasat with fabricated antenna.

In this paper, several parasitic elements are added to the circular microstrip antenna in order to increase its bandwidth. Three kinds of parasitic elements such as cone, circular plate, and ring types are applied and input VSWRs, radiation patterns, and input impedances are measured. The optimal sizes of each parasitic element are obtianed and the variations of the bandwidth according to the height from the patch are also measured. In thid case of the ring type, the optimum bandwidth is obtained at the height of 10mm from the patch to the parasitic element. In the cases of conical and circular plate types, the maximum bandwidth is obtained at the hight of 45mm form the patch to the parasitic elements.

The fields at the aperture of conical horn antenna with corrugations parallel to the axis have been analyzed using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain). Easy calculation depending on the change of the structure of antenna and time reduction can be achieved by 2-D FDTD coding with the first-order Mur ABC(absorbing boundary condition). It is confirmed that the corrugation can reduce phase difference of field on aperture. also it is investigated that the directivity is increased by 6.1 %, 12.9%, and 28.4% with one corrugation, two corrugations, three corrugations, respectively. It is also found that the improvement of the characteristics of the antenna is not proportional to the number of the corrugation but more dependent on the location of the corrugation near the aperture than that far the aperture.

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.

Recently, metamaterials attracted much attention because of the potential applications for superlens, cloaking and high precision sensors. We developed several dielectric metamaterials for enhancing antireflection or light trapping capability in solar energy harvesting devices. Colloidal lithography and electrochemical anodization process were employed to fabricate self-assembed nano- and microscale dielectric metamaterials in a simple and cost-effective manner. We improved broadband light absorption in c-Si, a-Si, and organic semiconductor layer by employing polystyrene (PS) islands integrated Si conical-frustum arrays, resonant PS nanosphere arrays, and diffusive alumina nanowire arrays, respectively. We also demonstrated thin metal coated alumina nanowire array which is utilized as an efficient light-to-heat conversion layer of solar steam generating devices. The scalable design and adaptable fabrication route to our light management nanostructures will be promising in applications of solar energy harvesting system. On the other hands, broadband invisible cloaks, which continuously work while elastically deforming, are developed using smart metamaterials made of photonic and elastic crystals. A self-adjustable, nearly lossless, and broadband (10-12GHz) smart meatamaterials have great potentials for applications in antenna system and military stealth technology.

Two species of the copepod parasite were observed from two marine fishes in Korea. A siphonostomatoid copepod Neobrachiella incurva (Shiino, 1956) (Lernaeopodidae) and a cyclopoid copepod Peniculus ostraciontis Yamaguti 1939 (Lernaeidae) were found on the gills of Halichoeres poecilopterus and the fins of Sebastes schlegeli, respectively. The most distinct features of N. incurva are bipartite of maxillule, 2 ventro-posterior processes and conical genital process. P. ostraciontis is very distinguishable in the body shape, antenna, and fused trunk. Both species of copepods are newly observed from the Korean waters.

A small cyclopoid copepod M. subtilis (Giesbrecht, 1893 ["1892"]) belonging to the genus Monothula $B{\ddot{o}}ttger-Schnack$ and Huys, 2001 was collected by using $60{\mu}m$ mesh net and firstly recorded in the epipelagic layer of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. We redescribed its morphological characteristics for both female and male, comparing with those of previous studies. Specimens of M. subtilis from the equatorial Pacific Ocean differ from those previously reported by others in terms of the length of the seta G on antenna, being much shorter than setae E and F; in the distal spine on the swimming leg 4, being longer than the length of the third segment on P4. The outer spine of the P3 enp-3 in male is slightly over the tip of conical process. The spine lengths of the distal endopods of P2-P4 for both sexes showed variations among individuals, and the proportions of spine lengths in female are higher than those in male.

본 논문은 주파수 영역과 시간 영역에서 초광대역 (Ultra Wideband UWB) 안테나의 임펄스 응답 특성을 고려한 채널측정 연구에 대해 발표하고자 한다. 임펄스 전파 채널 측정을 위해 UWB conical monopole 안테나를 설계하였고, 설계한 안테나의 임펄스 응답을 도출하였다. 안테나의 특성이 임펄스 전파 채널측정에 주는 영향을 무반향 반사실에서 다중경로 환경과 무반사 환경을 구현하여 측정하였다. 측정을 통하여 안테나의 dispersive한 특성과 ringing이 임펄스 전파 채널에 영향을 미침을 확인했고, 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 정확한 임펄스 채널 측정을 위해 사용한 UWB 안테나의 특성을 고려해야 함을 확인하였다.
