With the rapidly increasing and widespread use of electronic and controlling equipment, the control of the electromagnetic (EM) wave environment becomes an important social issue. To solve the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC, both electromagnetic interface and electromagnetic susceptibility) problems, in this paper, we introduce the countermeasure techniques focused on EM wave absorbers for EMC problems in our laboratory at the Korea Maritime and Ocean University. The current technologies related to EM wave absorbers to solve EMC problems will first be described. The prospects of and a design for EM wave absorbers including a smart absorber with a heat radiating function will then be suggested.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the Electro-Magnetic (EM) wave absorber for wireless LAN by using Amorphous and CPE. The material constants and the absorption properties were measured for the samples containing 50 %, 60 %, and 70 % weight fraction of Amorphous. Moreover, the EM wave absorption abilities were simulated for the EM absorbers in different thicknesses by adopting the measured permittivity and permeability, and then the EM wave absorber was fabricated based on the simulated design values. As a result, the EM wave absorber with the composition ratio in Amorphous : CPE = 60 : 40 wt.% with the thickness of 4 mm has the absorption ability more than 35 dB at 2.4 GHz. Thus, it is expected the wireless LAN environment can be improved by using the developed absorber.

With the progress of the electronics industry and radio communication technology, certain problems, such as electromagnetic interference(EMI), have arisen due to the increased use of electromagnetic(EM) waves. International organizations such as CISPR, FCC, and ANSI have provided the standards for the EM wave environment and for the countermeasure of the electromagnetic compatibility(EMC). EM wave absorbers are used for constructing an anechoic chamber to test and measure EMI and electromagnetic susceptibility(EMS). In this paper, we have designed an one-body EM(electromagnetic) wave ferrite absorber, based on the equivalent material constants method for both normally and obliquely incident waves, whose absorption abilities are superior to that of the conventional ones. The fabricated absorber has a thickness of 27.68 mm and shows an absorption ability over 20 ㏈ in the frequency from 30 MHz to 6 ㎓.

The new era of multi-messenger astronomy (MMA) has arrived in 2017 with the detection of the binary neutron star merger in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic radiation (EM). Now, the new run of GW detectors are providing numerous GW events and the number GW events are expected to increase dramatically in future as the GW sensitivities improve. When the GW studies are combined with EM counterpart observations, a great synergy is expected in many areas of study such as the physical process following the compact object merger, the environment of such events (and galaxy evolution), and cosmology, Therefore, it has now become crucial to identify and characterize these GW events in optical/IR EM. In the past, we have been performing optical/NIR observation of GW events using a worldwide network of more than 10 telescopes, and are getting more actively involved in MMA of GW sources. In this talk, we will present our network of telescopes, the EM follow-up observation results of GW events including GW170817 and the O3 events in 2019, and the current issues in MMA. We will also give the future prospects of MMA, showing the forecast for the GW events and the outlook of EM MMA observations.

For the underwater localization, acoustic sensor systems are widely used due to greater penetration properties of acoustic signals in underwater environments. On the other hand, the good penetration property causes multipath and interference effects in structured environment too. To overcome this demerit, a localization method using the attenuation of electro-magnetic(EM) waves was proposed in several literatures, in which distance estimation and 2D-localization experiments show remarkable results. However, in 3D-localization application, the estimation difficulties increase due to the nonuniform (doughnut like) radiation pattern of an omni-directional antenna related to the depth direction. For solving this problem, we added a depth sensor for improving underwater 3D-localization with the EM wave method. A micro scale pressure sensor is located in the mobile node antenna, and the depth data from the pressure sensor is calibrated by the curve fitting algorithm. We adapted the depth(z) data to 3D EM wave pattern model for the error reduction of the localization. Finally, some experiments were executed for 3D localization with the fast calculation and less errors.

최근 빠르고 편리하게 데이터 송수신이 가능한 무선LAN은 가정, 사무실 등 다양한 장소에서 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 실내에서 무선LAN을 사용할 경우 천장, 벽, 바닥, 책상 등에서의 반사파에 의한 다중반사가 발생하여 데이터 전송의 오류 및 성능 저하의 주된 원인이 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Graphite의 특성을 분석하고 최적의 조성비를 찾아내서 무선LAN 환경에 적합한 전파흡수체를 연구하였다. 먼저 Graphite와 지지재인 CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene)를 이용하여 조성비별 전파흡수체 샘플을 제작하고, 각 샘플의 반사계수를 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터로부터 재료정수를 계산하고, 전파흡수체를 설계 및 제작하여 전파흡수능을 비교, 분석 하였다. 그 결과 조성비가 Graphite : CPE=50:50 wt%이고, 두께 1.7 mm 인 전파흡수체가 5.2 GHz에서 27 dB 이상의 전파흡수능을 가지는 우수한 전파흡수체를 개발하였다.

최근, 실내 무선 LAN은 편리함과 용도의 다양성으로 인해 가정이나 사무실 등에서 사용이 증대되고 있으며, IEEE 802.11a와 IEEE 802.11b에 명시되어 있는 바와 같이 5.2 GHz와 2.4 GHz의 주파수 대역을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 실내 공간에서 무선 LAN 기기들을 사용할 경우, 벽 천정 바닥 책상 등에 의해서 반사파가 발생하고, 이들 반사파의 다중 반사는 통신 속도 저하와 데이터 손실과 같은 문제점을 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제점은 전파 흡수체를 사용하여 해결하는 것이 가장 효과적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MnZn-ferrite, sendust, carbon을 이용하여 전파 흡수체를 제작하였으며, 지지 재로는 CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene)를 이용하였다. 제작된 전파 흡수체 측정 결과, 조성비가 MnZn-ferrite : sendust : CPE=64 : 16 : 20 wt.%일 때, 두께가 3.7 mm인 전파 흡수체가 2.4 GHz에서 17 dB의 전파 흡수 특성을 보였고, 조성비가 MnZn-ferrite : carbon : CPE=40 : 15 : 45 wt.%일 때, 두께가 3.8 mm인 전파 흡수체가 5.2 GHz에서 23 dB의 전파 흡수 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, the concept of sustainability was applied to mechanical design and manufacturing of mobile-phone case. A new evaluation method to find products' good and weak point for sustainability was developed. Two mobile phones were evaluated using the evaluation tool. As a result, electro-magnetic (EM) wave was considered as a harmful factor of the products, and improved front panel was made using nano particles that absorb EM waves. The EM shielding tests revealed that silver nano powders absorbed EM while MWCNT had no effect.

In this paper, we developed an underwater localization system for underwater robot docking using the electromagnetic wave attenuation model. Electromagnetic waves are generally known to be impossible to use in water environment. However, according to the conclusions of the previous studies on the attenuation characteristics in underwater, the attenuation pattern is uniform and its model was accurately proposed and verified in 3-dimensional space via the omnidirectional antenna. In this paper, a docking structure and localization sensor system are developed for a widely used cone type docking mechanism. First, we fabricated electromagnetic wave range sensor transmit modules. And a mobile sensor node is equipped with unmanned underwater vehicle(UUV)s. The mobile node senses the four different signal strength (RSS: Received Signal Strength) from fixed nodes, and the obtained RSS data are transformed to each distance information using the 3-Dimensional EM wave attenuation model. Then, the relative localization between the docking area and underwater robot can be achieved according to optimization algorithm. Finally, experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed localization system for the docking induction by comparing the errors in the actual position of the mobile node and the theoretical position through the model.
