The upper frequency of international EMC regulations is being expanded above 1 GHz. Radiated emissions above 1 GHz are different from those below 1 GHz that is existing upper regulation frequency, and which have lower field strength and sharper and tilted beam-width, relatively. In this paper, an effective evaluation method to be used above 1 GHz is studied using an offset parabola antenna system having a double-ridged horn antenna as a feed. First, simple model is proposed for calculating antenna factor and field uniformity of the parabola antenna system, and then real radiated emission and radiated susceptibility measurements are performed using a constant noise emitter and the suggested antenna system. The results show that the proposed antenna system has higher gain and power efficiency, and wider field uniformity relative to a conventional double-ridged horn antenna. Therefore, it is confirmed that the proposed system can be effectively used for EMC measurements above 1 GHz.

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.

In this paper, a monopulse fled for three mode $2{\times}2$ array feed horn antenna was designed. Gain of single feed was 8.25dB. Increasing property of gain and rectangular waveguide and reflection of free space is decreased because it has structure extending to electric plane at connected part from transformation to free space. When fled port1 and port2 is placed vertically and thickness of aperture hem is reduced, isolation is satisfied with property of lower -25dB. Also, at higher frequency, it is confirmed that isolation is improved. Combination of electric field occurs less influence because port1 and port3 is placed horizontally and distribution of electric field is connected to parallel. However, because of combination of electric field, it is more improved from 2dB to 6dB than isolation of port1 and port2. Direct combination occult less effect at port1 and port4 than effect of port2 and port3, it is lower -35dB.

Directed energy weapon enables to radiate the concentrated energy so as to result in distraction and overload of the target electronics. Analysis on effectiveness of weapon system can be important consideration in order to determine performance and design weapon system. In this paper, air defense weapon system, which is one of directed energy weapon system is studied. In order to analyze the effectiveness, the reflector antenna with high power circularly polarized horn antenna is designed, and power density in axial effective area is simulated and calculated using Friis formula. Through the study, the validity of antenna system is verified, and the effectiveness of directed energy weapon system on the target is evaluated.

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.

A radio telescope which has been dominantly used for millimeter and submillimeter wave radio astronomy is a cassegrain antenna. A various receivers with specified observing bandwidths are installed on cassegrain antenna so as to carry out to investigate a diverse radio astronomy. A beam guiding system should be required so that a various receiver can be conducted their own observational frequency bands. The beam guiding system based on Gaussian beam transmission theory consists of quasi-optical circuit used such ellipsoidal mirror, dielectric lens and feed horn. In this paper, not only Gaussian beam transformations based on Gaussian beam theory are presented, but also design techniques for quasi-optical circuit are given. By using proposed design techniques, both Gaussian beam quasi-optical circuits to be used for cassegrain antenna and design results are also described. Properties of key focusing elements such ellipsoidal mirror and dielectric lens and feed horn are also discussed. It is expected that beam guiding system to be applied cassegrain antenna could be easily designed by using proposed design techniques.

Gregorian offset dual-shaped reflector antennas have been widely used in the satellite communication systems for their high gain and low sidelobe characteristics. However, in this paper, it is designed as the CATR(Compact Antenna Test Range) reflector system, and its near-field characteristics are investigated. The CATR facility needs to provide an uniform plane wave with the minimum amplitude and phase ripple and the low cross polarization to the test region. Therefore, the reflector near-field patterns are calculated and presented with the variations of the aperture power distribution, the feed horn pattern, and the distance from the aperture to the test zone. Also, the offset dual-shaped reflector is fabricated at 30 GHz, and its near-field patterns are measured. The measured results are in good agreement with the calculated results. From theses results, we confirm that the designed offset dual-shaped reflector can be used as the reflector system for the compact antenna test range.

A monopulse feeder gives the most important impact upon the radiation pattern characteristics of a multi-function radar or a tracking radar which uses the space feed. It is described that the triple-mode type monopulse feeder which possesses the optimum aperture illumination for three monopulse channels is designed and measured in this paper. The measured results show that the designed feeder has not only the characteristics of the optimum aperture illimination in each channel and also very low return loss over the 10 % of fractional bandwidth at X-band. This means that the feeder provides the antenna system with low sidelobe level and high monopulse slope characteristics.
