In this paper, the delamination and deformed FSS caused by residual stresses in the Loop type FSS embedded composites and the transmission characteristic changes due to deformation of FSS by residual stresses were studied. FSS may have different electromagnetic characteristics depending on the type of element, design variables, and array. Therefore, design variables of square loop FSS embedded composites structures were determined to obtain the transmission characteristic for X-band (8~12 GHz). Then the design variables of other types of loops (triangular loop and circular loop) were determined based on the dimensions of square loop. Thereafter, the residual stresses and transmission characteristics of FSS embedded composite structures with various single and double loop FSS's, and stacking sequence of composite laminates were compared.

Resolution 122 requires to study power limitation applicable for HAPS ground stations to facilitate sharing with space station receivers in 47/48GHz bands. ITU-R Recommendation 1481-1 recommends to improve the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antenna for frequency sharing between FSS system and HAPS system. In this paper, we propose the maximum allowable off-axis e.i.r.p. level of HAPS ground station antennas by considering power limitation to HAPS ground station in Resolution 122, and by improving the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antennas in Recommendation SF.1481-1. The simulation results show that the unfeasible sharing distance between HAPS ground station and FSS earth station can be reduced remarkably, and give the possibility of frequency sharing between two above systems.

This paper describes the fabrication techniques and analysis of hybrid composite plates with an active frequency selective surface (FSS). For fabricating hybrid composite plate with active FSS, an active FSS with a resonance frequency located in the C band can obtained using varactor diodes. The hybrid composite plate was first designed and simulated to determine its electromagnetic properties using the commercial software HFSS. After simulation, active FSSs and hybrid composite plates were fabricated by mounting with varactor diodes. After fabrication, free space measurement was used to determine the electromagnetic properties of active FSS and the hybrid composite plates. The simulation and experimental results were in good agreement.

In this study, we design a reconfigurable frequency selective surface (FSS) using fluidic channels to use the FSS in multi-frequencies. Effective permittivity can be changed using water as the fluid of fluidic channels in a dielectric slab, and the frequency characteristics of FSS can be controlled. We optimize the dimensions of the fluidic channel to design a reconfigurable FSS and measure its transmission characteristics.

Comparative study on the total transmission(zero reflection) has been done between two FSS structures which are coqmposed of the resonant aperture and the nonresonant aperture. It has been found that, the FSS of the resonant aperture has much larger ratio ${\lambda}$/T of wavelength ${\lambda}$ to array periodicity T than that of the FSS of the nonresonant aperture for the total transmission(or zero reflection). Also the operating frequency can be made to be significantly reduced by using such a resonant structure. This physical situation is thought to be similar to that of EOT(Extraordinary Optical Transmission) phenomenon, in optics area.

A planar, light-weight, and low-cost notch filter structure is required for the KSTAR ECEI (Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging) system to protect the mixer arrays from spurious plasma heating power. Without protection, this heating power can significantly degrade or damage the performance of the mixer array. To protect mixer arrays, a frequency selective surface (FSS) structure is the suitable choice as a notch filter to reject the spurious heating power. The FSS notch filter should be located between the lenses of the ECEI system. This paper presents a 170 GHz FSS notch filter for the KSTAR ECEI sensor application. The design of such an FSS notch filter is based on the single-sided square loop geometry, because that makes it relatively insensitive to the incident angle of incoming wave. The FSS notch filter exhibits high notch rejection with low pass-band insertion loss over a wide range of incident angles. This paper also reviews the simulated and measured results. The proposed FSS notch filter might be implemented in other millimeter-wave plasma devices.

A Radome protects the radar from the external environment, and as a part of the stealth technology, a frequency-selective surface (FSS) was applied to the radome. Our study investigates the changes in the electrical transmission characteristics of the missile's FSS radome due to aerodynamic heating in various flight scenarios. Accordingly, we designed a FSS radome with a Jerusalem-cross(JSC) geometry and referred the missile flight scenario in the precedent research. Subsequently, electrical transmission characteristics affected by aerodynamic heating were numerically analyzed over time according to the position of radome. As a result, we found that the average transmission value maximally varies -14.3 dB compared to the initial bandwidth owing to changes in electrical transmission characteristics in flight scenarios.

Federal communications commissions (FCC) has announced the first set of rules for 3.5 GHz (3,550 - 3,700 MHz) band used Navy radar and fixed satellite service (FSS) earth stations as primary service to sharing for citizen broadband radio service (CBRS) enable development of relatively low powered network technologies like small cells. Since CBRS sharing technique based on the 3-tiered spectrum access system (SAS) is able to protect the higher tiered users from harmful interference from lower tiered users, it has been considered actively to be introduced in Korea. However, 3.5 GHz band had been already allocated to the 5G services in Korea, the sharing studies have been carried out for 3,700 - 5,000 MHz, As the result, the 3.8 GHz (3,800 - 3,900 MHz) band used for only FSS system is able to be sharing, and an introduction of CBRS has been proposed in Korea by analyzing the interference to the FSS earth stations.

Adipocytes affect obesity through the regulation of lipid metabolism. Physical loading is an important regulator of fat tissue. There are ongoing in vitro studies inducing mechanotransduction on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes with mechanical stimulus in order to treat obesity by inhibiting adipogenesis and provoking cell death. In this study, our goal was to suggest a new therapy for obesity by investigating whether fluid shear stress (FSS) changes transcription factors on 3T3-L1 related with adipogenesis and cell death. FSS loading was applied to 3T3-L1 preadipocytes at 1Pa and 1Hz. After loading, bright field images were taken and an immunofluorescence assay was conducted to observe actin stress fiber formation. Western blot analysis was conducted to identify the activation of the ERK pathway as well as the adipogenic factors, which including C/EBPs and $PPAR{\gamma}$. The expression of osteopontin, a protein related to inflammation in adipose tissue, and cell death related factors, Bax, Bcl-2, and Beclin, were also measured. Results showed that FSS stimulated the formation of actin stress fibers in 3T3-L1 and also that the activation of C/EBPs decreased significantly when compared with the control group. $PPAR{\gamma}$ activation in the 2 hour FSS group was lower than the 1 hour FSS group, which implied that the results were time dependent. Additionally, there were no differences in the expression of cell death factors after FSS loading. In summary, similar to other fibroblasts, the formation of actin stress fibers induced by mechanotransduction may affect the differentiation of 3T3-L1, leading to inhibition of adipogenesis and inflammation.

This paper proposes a design of a wideband array antenna involving the downlink bands of fixed satellite service (FSS) and broadcasting satellite service (BSS) by applying two mixed patch sets. The proposed antenna is implemented on FR4 substrate by arranging rectangular patches in 6 by 2. To design a wideband antenna (10.7~12.75 GHz) covering both FSS downlink bands (10.7~10.95 GHz, 11.2~11.45 GHz) and BSS downlink bands (11.7~12.5 GHz, 12.2~12.75 GHz, 11.7~12.2 GHz), rectangular patches working at 11.5 GHz and 12.5 GHz are arranged alternately, and thus the proposed antenna can obtain a wide bandwidth equivalent to 30.8% of the center frequency. The proposed antenna was fabricated and measured, and the results are well matched with the simulated ones. From the performances, the proposed antenna can be applied to the receiving antenna for FSS and BSS downlinks.
