The design procedure for direct coupled combline filter with tapped line in/out was summarized on Ku-band satellite frequency downconverter for stellite application. We calculated the resonator dimensions, spacing between successive resonators, ground plane spacing and tapping position of in/output lines in accordance with the given procedure. Partitions wer eemployed between adjacent resonators by inserting irises to improve filter response characteristis. The designed filter was manufactued with aluminum alloy package to reduce mass, and resonators wer machined from the filter body and in/output lines wer fixed on resonators with epoxy to survive in vibration conditon during launch.

In this paper, a low-noise amplifier is designed and fabricated using the HJFET for the reception of the Ku-band satellite broadcast signals. The optimum input and output reflection coefficients of each amplifier stage are obtained by the trade-off between the stable gain and the noise figure circle. The amplifier performance is simulated and optimized using a microwave CAD software. The designed amplifier is fabricated and tested. Results of the test show a gain of 17.0 dB, a gain flatness of less than $\pm$2.BdB, the noise figure of less than 1.0 dB, and the input and output reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB.

In this paper, we proposed a Ku-band antenna that can be mounted on UAV. A proposed antenna structure has small size and light weight. It is considered long distance communication environment(LOS) and equipped UAV. Proposed antenna is designed $16{\times}2$ aperture coupled microstrip patch array antenna for high gain characteristics. In the measurement results, VSWR is less than 1.5 and the gain is over 21dBi in the bandwidth. Mechanical specifications of antenna assembly are ${\phi}250{\times}200mm$ of size and 3kg of weight.

In this paper, we designed and manufactured the Ku-band circular waveguide antenna to do wireless communication with a ground radar as on-board antenna of missile. Using the MATLAB and the HFSS, we designed the circular polarizer which has a characteristic of circular polarization and broadband using the capacitive pin method, the feeder to feed coaxial line to circular waveguide, and a stopper to prevent a conductor material from being inserted. Then we simulated the designed antenna using the HFSS, obtained the gain and the radiation pattern. Because of a difficulty of manufacture, we established a manufacture process procedure. Antenna is manufactured with this procedure, test results of the manufactured antenna are the axial ratio of 1.37 ~ 1.72, the 3 ㏈ beamwidth of $72.23^{\circ}{\sim}78.54^{\circ},$ and the gain of 3.26 ~ 4.61 ㏈ within frequency band. We knew that these results are similar with simulation results. Also, we confirmed that the manufactured antenna is satisfied with requirement conditions through performance test, environmental test and flight test.

The Gamma Portable Radar Interferometer (GPRI) is a ground-based real aperture radar (RAR) that can acquire images with high spatial and temporal resolution. The GPRI ground-based radar used in this study composes three antennas with a Ku-band frequency of 17.1-17.3 GHz (1.73-1.75 cm of wavelength). It can measure displacement over time with millimeter-scale precision. It is also possible to adjust the observation mode by arranging the transmitting and receiving antennas for various applications: i) obtaining differential interferograms through the application of interferometric techniques, ii) generation of digital elevation models and iii) acquisition of full polarimetric data. We introduced the hardware configuration of the GPRI ground-based radar, image acquisition, and characteristics of the collected radar images. The interferometric phase difference has been evaluated to apply the multi-temporal interferometric SAR application (MT-InSAR) using the first observation campaigns at Pusan National University in Geumjeong-gu, Busan.

본 논문에서는 여러 대역의 주파수를 하나의 모듈로 통합하여 선박이 해외 각국에서도 하나의 위성안테나로 사용할 수 있는 다중대역 FEM(Front-End Module)모듈을 설계하였다. 설계된 FEM은 다중대역 저잡음 수신 증폭회로, 주파수 변환 회로, IF 증폭회로, 전압 제어 발진기(VCO : Voltage Control Oscillator)를 이용한 신호발생회로 네 가지 회로로 구성하였다. 다중대역 2.05GHz대역을 변환하기 위하여 4개(대역1, 대역2, 대역3, 대역4)의 국부 발진 신호를 생성하여 4개의 IF신호를 출력하도록 설계하였으며 개발된 변환 장치는 변환이득 64dB, 잡음지수 1dB 이하, 출력 P1dB 15dBm 이상, 위상잡음은 -73dBc@0.1KHz를 나타내었다.

This paper evaluates the influence of rainfall on propagated signal at different time exceedance percentages of an average year, over the climate zones of the country. Specifically, it demonstrates critical and non critical signal fade or signal outage time exceedance (0.001% to 1%) for Ku, K, and Ka-band systems in an average year. The study was carried out using meteorological data made available by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) over a period of 10 years (2009-2018). The four climate zones in the country were represented by five (5) locations; Maidugiri (warm desert climate), Sokoto (tropical dry climate), Port Harcourt (tropical monsoon climate), Abuja and Enugu (tropical savanna climate). The parameters were simulated into the International Telecommunications Union Recommended (ITU-R) models for rain attenuation over the tropics and results presented using MatLab and Origin Lab. Results of Ku band propagations showed that only locations in the tropical savanna and tropical monsoon climates experienced total signal outage for time percentage exceedance equal to or below 0.01% for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. At K band propagations, the five locations showed to have experienced signal outage at time exceedance equal to and below 0.01%, almost same was recorded for the Ka-band propagation. It was also observed that horizontal and vertical polarization of signal had slightly different rain attenuation values for the studied bands at the five locations, with horizontal polarization having higher values than vertical polarization.

This paper reports a miniaturized conductor-backed CPW (CBCPW) bandpass filter based on a thin film polyimide layer coated on CMOS-grade silicon. With a 20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick polyimide interface layer and back metallization on the CMOS-grade silicon, the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the lossy silicon substrate has been isolated, and as a result a low-loss and low-dispersive CBCPW line has been obtained. Measured attenuation constant at 20 GHz is below 1.2 ㏈/cm, which is compatible with the CPW on GaAs. In addition, by using the proposed CBCPW geometry, miniaturized BPF for Ku band application is designed and its measured frequency response shows excellent agreement with the predicted value with validating the performances of the proposed CBCPW geometry for RFIC interconnects and filter applications.
