Omni-directional antennas of UHF-Band are located on the top and bottom side of the Smart UAV in order to connect a link always. Therefore one of each antennas should be connected to a ground antenna. Because the communication link of the omni-directional antennas is influenced by the objectives around aircraft, the clearance of LOS(Line of Sight) should be achieved in order to avoid a loss of link. In this paper, the analysis results on the influence of the complex objectives placed around the antenna on the communication link are presented according to the change of attitude angles. The best positions of antennas are selected based on the electromagnetic analysis using XGTD tool which supports the modeling of antenna pattern. The flight tests of the Smart UAV were successfully performed with the selected antenna position.

This paper deals with the fabrication and verification of the microwave absorbing structure using semiconductive fiber reinforced composite. Two kinds of fiber were used to fabricate composites. Electromagnetic properties of the composites were measured by freespace measurement system over X-band. Two single slab absorbers and a double slab absorber were designed by thickness optimization method. Single slab absorbers did not show good microwave absorption performance because the permittivity is away from non-reflection curve. Double slab absorber complemented the limitations on single slab absorber and it showed good microwave absorption performance. Double slab absorber showed -43.9 dB loss near 10 GHz.

In this paper, the flow characteristics of water in the water supply pipes of a WBC array were evaluated. We simulated the flow velocities and pressures for a standard pipe, an expansion pipe with a concentric reducer, and an expansion pipe with an eccentric reducer using computational fluid dynamics. In the case of the standard pipe, when the inlet flow velocities were 0.5 m/s and 2.0 m/s, the maximum flow velocities at the center of the WBC array were 0.54 m/s and 2.74 m/s, respectively, which were the greatest values among those of all the pipe models considered. In the case of the expansion pipe, the maximum flow velocities at the center of the WBC array were almost the same under the same conditions regardless of the type of reducer. The pressure losses in the pipe due to the concentric and eccentric reducers were found to be (165.09 ${\times}$ inlet $velocity^{1.6677}$) and (210.98 ${\times}$ inlet $velocity^{1.6478}$), respectively. The coefficient of determination at this time was greater than 0.99 and was the same for both the models. As a simulation result, it was found that in order to reduce the pressure loss when pipe with WBC array is connected with a conventional pipe, diameter of the pipe with WBC array at that section should be enlarged by one step, and then connected to the conventional pipe with a concentric reducer.

A very long test track is required for high-speed operation test of the real-scale Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) for ultra-high-speed trains. The required length results in huge construction cost and economic loss if any error occurs during development. Therefore, validation study of the LSM design technology using a low-cost small-scale model must be carried out in the early research stages. It is possible to deduce an optimal winding method for the armature and determine the mechanical properties of the LSM through a performance tester that applies a rotary-type small-scale LSM model. In addition, it is possible to utilize previous research on LSM control systems. Therefore, a basic design model, comprising a rotary-type LSM tester that meets the requirements for the propulsion of 600km/h-class ultra-high-speed trains, is derived in this study. Finally, an optimal model, which has a stable structure under the condition of 1500rpm or more high-speed rotation, is derived by electromagnetic and mechanical stiffness analysis.

The development of manufacturing process of silicon (Si) ingots is one of the important issues to the growth of the photovoltaic industry. Polycrystalline Si wafers shares more than 60% of the photovoltaic market due to its cost advantage compared to mono crystalline silicon wafers. Several solidification processes have been developed by industry including casting, heat exchange method (HEM) and electromagnetic casting. In this paper, the advanced directional solidification (ADS) method is used to growth of large sized polycrystalline Si ingot. This method has the advantages of the small heat loss, short cycle time and efficient directional solidification. The numerical simulation of the process is applied using a fluid dynamics model to simulate the temperature distribution. The results of simulations are confirmed efficient directional solidification to the growth of large sized polycrystalline Si ingot above 240 kg.

Ni-Cu-Zn ferrites were prepared by the co-precipitation. Physical properties and Microwave absorbing properties were investigated in Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite for the aim of microwave absorbers. From the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, we can see that all the particles have only a single phase spinel structure. The loss factor was maximum at sintering temperature $1100^{\circ}C$. The initial permeability of sintered ferrite obtained was an average of 50. We found that the $(Ni_{0.7}Cu_{0.2}Zn_{0.1}O)_{1.02}(Fe_2O_3)_{0.98}$ can be used in ferrite rubber composite microwave absorber when sintering temperature at $1100^{\circ}C$.

The systematic and effective design method of a Class-D current-source resonant inverter for use in an induction cooker with zero-ripple line current is presented. The design procedure is based on the principle of the Class-D current-source resonant inverter with a simplified load network model that is a parallel equivalent circuit. An induction load characterization is obtained from a large-signal excitation test-bench based on parallel load network, which is the key to an accurate design for the induction cooker system. Accordingly, the proposed scheme provides a systematic, precise, and feasible solution than the existing design method based on series-parallel load network under low-signal excitation. Moreover, a zero-ripple condition of utility-line input current is naturally preserved without any extra circuit or control. Meanwhile, a differential-mode input electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter can be eliminated, high power quality in utility-line can be obtained, and a standard-recovery diode of bridge-rectifier can be employed. The step-by-step design procedure explained with design example. The devices stress and power loss analysis of induction cooker with a parallel load network under large-signal excitation are described. A 2,500-W laboratory prototype was developed for $220-V_{rms}/50-Hz$ utility-line to verify the theoretical analysis. An efficiency of the prototype is 96% at full load.

The North Korea nuclear issue is now posing a serious security threat to the Korea and Northeast Asia. Accordingly, the South Korean military is pushing for the introduction of long-range air-to-surface flights and the development of domestic nuclear facilities that can precisely hit North Korea headquarters building and nuclear facility even hundreds of kilometers above the border. In this paper, we removed the cable braid for securing the weight of the missile among several design elements for long-range air-to-surface missile development and estimated and analyzed the resulting performance. The possibility of braid removal was analyzed in terms of crosstalk inside the cable and CS114, RE101 of MIL-STD-461F.

This paper presents a novel miniaturized 3-D cubic antenna for use in wireless sensor network (WSN) application. The geometry of this antenna is designed as a cube including a meander dipole antenna. A truly omnidirectional pattern is produced by this antenna in both E-plane and H-plane, which allows for non-intermittent communication that is orientation independent. The operating frequency lies in the ISM band (centered in 2.45 GHz). The dimensions of this ultra-compact cubic antenna are 1.25*1.12*1cm3 which features a length dimension λ/11. The coefficient which presents the overall antenna structure is Ka=0.44. The cubic shape of the antenna is allowing for smart packaging, as sensor equipment may be easily integrated into the cube hallow interior. The major constraint of WSN is the energy consumption. The power consumption of radio communication unit is relatively high. So it is necessary to design an antenna which improves the energy efficiency. The parameters considered in this work are the resonant frequency, return loss, efficiency, bandwidth, radiation pattern, gain and the electromagnetic field of the proposed antenna. The specificity of this geometry is that its size is relatively small with an excellent gain and efficiency compared to previously structures (reported in the literature). All results of the simulations were performed by CST Microwave Studio simulation software and validated with HFSS. We used Advanced Design System (ADS) to validate the equivalent scheme of our conception. Input here the part of summary.
