Since powerline for powerline communications (PLC) is designed for supplying electric power using 60 Hz wave, they will have different electrical behaviors for high data rate PLC whose bandwidth is allocated between 1 MHz and 30 MHz. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the different properties in this frequency bandwidth for the high data rate PLC. In this paper, low voltage (220V) powerline impedance for indoor high data rate PLC in between 1 MHz and 30 MHz is measured. For measurement a low voltage coupling unit is made and a vector network analyzer is used. A T-equivalent circuit of the low voltage coupling unit is obtained and then powerline impedance is derived by measuring the reflection coefficient of the total powerline network. With the method proposed, impedance is measured in case of a general korean apartment and its property is analyzed. Measurement shows that the average impedance is about 100Ω.

The range resolution of echo sounders can be improved by enhancing the transducer bandwidth. We designed a bandpass matching network for expanding the bandwidth of a transducer by scaling in both impedance and frequency after transforming a lowpass network into a bandpass configuration for a third-order Bessel filter. We measured the effect of the Bessel matching network for a 50 kHz sandwich type transducer on the transmitting voltage response (TVR), receiving sensitivity (SRT) and figure of merit (FOM), using a chirp echo sounder system. Both the simulation and experimental results indicated that the transducer with a bandpass matching network was capable of producing a symmetrical acoustic output over a wider bandwidth (8.25 kHz) than was the transducer without a matching network (3.75 kHz). By implementing the Bessel matching network, we achieved a 120% bandwidth enhancement.

In this paper, a wideband monopole antenna with ring loop by modified ground plane is presented. The proposed antenna consist of monopole antenna, ring loop by ground plane. This antenna is fed CPW-fed and wide slot antenna of a novel structure for broadband characteristics is proposed. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the wide slot antenna, we proposed the wide slot structure with CPW-fed which is combined with four ${\lambda}/2$ rectangular radiation modified monopole and inductively coupled. The measured impedance bandwidth is about 2.5 GHz(3.65~6.15 GHz) then less -10 dB.

The objective of this paper is to design broadband microstrip patch antenna for mobile communication service. The enhanced features were confirmed and proved by comparing the proposed antenna with the antennae that have been reported in the relevant literatures. The experimental results show that the impedance bandwidth(VSWR ${\leq}2$) of 19.6%(fo=1,920MHz) and the peak gain of 5.53dBi(at 1,900MHz) were obtained by the mobile communication service frequency band. The proposed antenna had the impedance bandwidth of about 3.1% larger than that of the reported microstrip antenna.

A quarter-wavelength open circuited microstripline slot array is realized at X-band froquency. The optimal feeding point is experimentally determined. The input impedance of the slot array for various frequencies and its radiation pattern are measured. The bandwidth of the slot array is increased by using the 4$\times$4 elements which are slightly different in length and feeding network which is suggested in this papers.

A low profile asymmetrical fractal boundary patch antenna based on reactive impedance surface (RIS) and a mushroom unit cell (MUC) is proposed and studied for dual band operation. The sides of the square patch antenna are replaced with asymmetrical half circled fractal curves for circular polarization operation at patch mode band. The fractal patch antenna is loaded with MUC for dual band operation. The antenna radiation characteristics are investigated and illustrated with both simulated and experimental results in detail. The 10-dB return loss bandwidth are 8.48% (3.21-3.49 GHz) and 2.59% (2.30-2.36 GHz) at upper and lower resonance frequencies, respectively. The 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth is 4.26% (3.21-3.35 GHz). A close agreement between simulation data with experimental results is observed.

A case study of an active transmitting patch antenna revealed a characteristic loop locus of DC power versus RF output power as drive frequency was varied, with an operational bandwidth substantially smaller than the impedance bandwidth of the radiator. An approximate simulation technique, based on separation of the output capacitance of the power transistor, yielded easily visualized plots of power dependence on internal load impedance, and a simple interpretation of the experimental results in terms of a near-resonance condition between the output capacitance and output packaging inductance.

Experimental and simulation results are presented on the Aperture-Coupled microstrip patch antennal with U-shaped slot. Experiment and simulation results include impedance bandwidth, copolar and crosspolar-pattern characteristics and gain measurements. Simulation results show the advantages of U-slotted patch antenna comparing with the normal patch antenna. More than 35% impedance bandwidth is obtained with reasonably restricted cross-polar radiation pattern. The U-slotted radiation element fed by aperture-coupling method can be more easily extended to array structure, compared with that fed by coaxial cable.

In this paper, the wideband microstrip patch antennas for the Personal communications Service $(PCS\;:\;1750\~1870\;MHz)$ and International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 $(IMT-2000\;:\;1920\~2170\;MHz)$ dual band are studied. Experimental and simulation results on the dual band antenna are presented. Simulation results are in good agreement with measurements. The experimental and simulation results confirm the wideband characteristics of the antenna. The studied antenna satisfied the wideband characteristics that are required characteristics for above 420 MHz impedance bandwidth for the PCS and IMT-2000 dual band antenna. In this paper, through the designing of a dual band antenna, we have presented the availability for PCS & IMT-2000 base station antenna. An impedance bandwidth of $31\%(VSWR<1.5,\;615\;MHz)$ and a maximum gain of 7dBi can be achieved. The radiation pattern is stable across the passband.

A various resonance modes are generated in the tapering slot. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is about 12:1 ($2.0GHz{\sim}24.3GHz$) with $VSWR{\le}2$. Simulation results for return loss and radiation pattern are presented.
