This study was conducted to develop a grain moisture meter using microwave free space transmission technique at X-band frequency. The 10.5GHz microwave oscillator using a dielectric resonator was designed and fabricated to transmit electromagnetic wave through standard horn antenna to a sample holder with the wetted Hwasung and Chuchung rough rice(12.00∼26.25%). To detect the output voltage of transmitted wave from receiving horn antenna, the detector was composed of shottkey diode and RF impedance matching circuit. The regression model for measurement of grain moisture content was developed. Its correlation coefficient and standard error of prediction (SEP) were found to be 0.9882 and 0.657 respectively between measure and predicted moisture contents.

일반적으로 안테나 이득 또는 인자를 측정하는 방법으로서 3-안테나법, 표준안테나법, 표준시험장법 등이 있다. 이들 방법은 주파수 영역에서 반사파 등을 고려하여 자유 공간 또는 준자유 공간의 값을 측정한다. 본 논문은 시간 영역에서 반사파를 추적 제거함으로써 야외시험장에서 자유 공간 안테나 이득 인자를 측정 및 교정하는 방법을 논의한다. 시간 영역에서 측정한 전송 계수 $S_{21}$으로부터 직접파 및 반사파가 수신 안테나에 도달하는 시간차로 이들을 구분하고, 게이팅 기능과 역 푸리에 변환으로 직접파의 주파수 응답 만을 추출하였다. 시간 영역 기능을 갖추고 있는 네트워크 분석기로 안테나 높이를 변화시키면서 이들 파의 경로차를 만들어 1~18 GHz 대역 더블리지 혼 안테나의 반응시간을 분석 하였으며, 그 경로차에 의한 응답을 분리 추출하여 자유 공간 안테나 이득을 측정하였다. 이 결과를ANSI C635의 표준시험장법으로 교정한 결과와 상호 비교하여 좋은 일치가 있음을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 수 km이하의 이동 기지국에 활용할 수 있는 대기공간 광통신(Free Space Optic) 장치를 제작하고 그 특성을 알아보았다. 대기전송으로 인한 손실을 극복하고자 23dBm 이상의 출력을 갖는 광섬유증폭기(EDFA)를 사용하였다. 레이저 빔의 집속도를 높이고 소형화하기 위하여 광학렌즈를 제작하였으며, 1.5 ~1.8[mrad] 범위내에서 빔 발산각(divergence)을 갖도록 송신렌즈를 설계하였다. 송수신부의 장비간의 효과적인 자동정렬과 포인팅 에러를 줄이기 위하여 PAN/TILT를 제어하는 PT 모듈을 제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 일정한 수준이상으로 전송품질을 유지하기 위하여 Reed-Solomon(RS) 코드를 사용하였다. 가시도 300m의 기후 상황에서 300m 대기공간 거리를 통신이 가능하도록 제작하였다. 성능측정을 위하여 비트에러 측정기와 아이패턴 분석기를 이용하여 측정하였으며 2.5Gbps 이상에서 10^-9 BER을 유지할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Currently, droplet protective screens (DPSs) are used to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. As virus particles can maintain their infective in indoor environments, recent studies have investigated the risk of airborne transmission. However, the ability of DPSs to block airborne transmission has not been verified yet. In this study, the preventive ability of DPSs against droplet and airborne transmission was evaluated. Moreover, the effectiveness of a Portable air purifier (PAP) was investigated. According to results, in a simulated room where an infectious person spoke, the DPS blocked more than 90% of the micron-sized droplets (with a diameter larger than 1 ㎛) transmitted to the front of the infectious person. However, sub-micron droplets (with a diameter smaller than 1 ㎛) passed through the DPS and spread in a room. However, the PAP reduced the amount of both micron and sub-micron droplets transmitted to the front of the infectious person. When the PAP airflow direction was set from the DPS surface to the free space near the infectious person, improved prevention against droplet and airborne transmission was recorded. However, airborne transmission was accelerated when the PAP airflow direction was set from the free space to the DPS surface.

We present a useful design for a free access mat which supports two frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The free access mat is a sheet-shaped waveguide which consists of a tightly coupled double-layered microstrip resonator array. It provides easy access for devices in short-range wireless communications. Interference is a common problem with conventional applications which use free space transmission. Our proposed wireless access system uses a subsidiary waveguide, the free access mat. Wireless devices are proximately coupled to the free access mat through which the coupled electromagnetic (EM) wave transmits. The arrival domain of the EM wave of an application is therefore limited to an area close to the free access mat. Wireless devices can be coupled to the free access mat at an arbitrary position without contact. We previously presented a free access mat for a single frequency band. This paper presents a free access mat for the two frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The free access mat uses a ring patch resonator array which is easily excited by typical antennas and is resistant to interference. These characteristics are demonstrated by numerical simulation and confirmed by experiment.

본 논문에서는 일반 측정환경에서 자유공간 물질상수 측정법을 사용한 판형 유전체의 유전율 측정 방법을 제안한다. 측정에는 회로망분석기와 동일한 두 개의 혼 안테나가 S-parameter 측정을 위해 사용되었으며, 측정 결과로부터 판형 유전체의 투과 및 반사계수를 계산하였다. 정밀한 측정을 할 수 없는 환경에서 신뢰할 수 있는 유전율을 얻기 위하여 상대적으로 측정 환경에 의한 측정불확도가 작은 투과계수의 크기만을 유전율 추정에 이용하였으며, 최종적으로 다양한 주파수에서 측정된 결과를 비교하여 유전율을 특정하였다.

We propose a percolation based M2M networking architecture and its data transmission method. The proposed network architecture can be server-free and router-free, which allows us to operate routing efficiently with percolations based on six degrees of separation theory in small world network modeling. The data transmission can be divided into two phases: routing and data transmission phases. In the routing phase, probe packets will be transmitted and forwarded in the network thus multiple paths are selected and performed based on the constriction of the maximum hop number. In the second phase, the information will be encoded, say, with the fountain codes, and transmitted using the paths generated in the first phase. In such a way, an efficient routing and data transmission mechanism can be built, which allow us to construct a low-cost, flexible and ubiquitous network. Such a networking architecture and data transmission can be used in many M2M communications, such as the stub network of internet of things, and deep space networking, and so on.

A free sparse transmission method using X-band standard gain horn antenna is applied to measure the attenuation and phase shift of microwave signal through the wetted grain such as rough rice, brown rice and barley. The moisture content of grain varied from 11 to 25% based on its wetted condition. The dielectric constant and loss factor, which depend on the moisture content of the wetted grain are obtained from the measured attenuation and phase shift by vector network analyzer. The measured values of dielectric constants as a function of moisture density are compared with values of those obtained using the predicted model for estimating dielectric constants of grain.

Modern military operations rely heavily on broadband communication and data transmission. Recently, the rising use of intelligent unmanned technology necessitates more frequencies. Free-space optical(FSO) communication can offer high-data-rate communications with high security and no need for licensing. Therefore, the FSO communication holds significant interest and potential in the defense industry. In this paper, we present design of a FSO communication terminal taking Korean domestic weather conditions into account. The domestic atmospheric attenuation is analyzed using several models and two-year meteorological information for a city in Korea, and this analysis is utilized to design the FSO communication terminal. The design results were verified using an FSO communication test bed, and we achieved an Ethernet bandwidth of approximately 1.86 Gbps at a distance of 1.3 km with the optical amplifier output power of the test bed set to about 20 dBm.
