본 논문에서 하지 정맥 지료를 위한 마이크로파 시스템에서 사용될 가열 안테나의 전계 분포를 균일하게 형성시키기 위해 철사 도파관 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 일반적인 도파관 안테나에 경우 안테나 중심 부분에 전계가 가장 세게 분포되어 온도가 다른 곳에 비해 차이가 많이 나므로 인체 피부가 회상을 입힐 위험이 있다. 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나는 끝단에 가느다란 철을 이용하여 전기장을 철사 부분에 집중시켜 안테나 중앙 부분에 집중된 전기장을 분산되도록 설계하였다. 따라서 전기장을 소스로 하는 온도도 균일하게 분포하게 된다. 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나 내부의 전계 분포는 Ansoft 사의 HFSS, 온도 분포는 CST 사의 MWS(Microwave Studio)를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 일반적인 안테나 경우보다 더 균일한 전계와 온도 분포 특성을 보임을 확인하였다. 제작된 철사 안테나는 사용주파수 15GHz에서 -10dB 이하의 반사 손실을 보였다. 또한 안테나 타당성을 검증하기 위해 개구면 앞에 돼지 껍데기를 두고 일정시간 가열하여 일반 안테나와 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나 온도 분포를 비교하였다. 열화상 카메라를 이용한 실험결과 일반 안테나에 경우 중앙과 가장 자리부분 사이에 약 $29^{\circ}C$, 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나에 경우에는 약 $12.5^{\circ}C$의 차이를 보였다. 이를 통해 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나가 전계 분포 균일성 향상에 기여함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the design and fabrication of slot array in the broad wall of the waveguide for Ka-band monopulse radar are discussed. The aperture distributions are designed for the desired antenna gain, beamwidth and Side-lobe Level(SLL), and then slot parameters, such as lengths and offsets, are obtained for corresponding to each slot admittance in the equivalent circuit by using Elliot's array synthesis procedure. MWS-CST simulation shows the return loss below -10 dB, antenna gain above 32 dBi, 3 dB beamwidth of 3.7 degree and SLL of -20 dB. In order to demonstrate the expected results, the designed antenna is fabricated and measured.

In this paper, the design of a 0.5~2 GHz cavity-backed spiral antenna is described. Combined arm pattern with a log spiral in the inner region and an Archimedean spiral in the outer region, a backing cavity, and a Marchand coaxial balun for feeding are designed. Termination resistors are used to improve antenna characteristics at the lower frequency of the operation frequency. VSWR, axial ratio, gain and HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) characteristics are simulated using CST's MWS. Finally, the validity of these approaches is verified by comparing the simulated results with the measured ones. Also, the measurement results are compared with the performance of a commercial spiral antenna.

In this paper, a design of V-type Linearly Tapered Slot Antenna(V-LTSA) with uniplanar microstrip-to-coplanar stripline(CPS) transitions is presented. The effect of reducing and increasing with taper width G, teper length L and opening angle are also considered at 5.8 GHz. In the result of a simulation by using CST-MWS, the return loss characteristic came very wide band about 4.3GHz, or 1.8 Octave. Proposed V-LTSA design schemes are expected to be a good antenna for microwave and millimeter-wave communcations.

The C-band omni-directional antenna for drone control is mounted on the top or bottom and used to configure the communication link. The communication link is affected by the LOS depending on the mounting position of the omni-directional antenna. In this paper, two kinds of embedded antennas were designed with a commercial simulation tool CST MWS, and EM analysis was performed to consider the mounting environment. Also, we propose the PTMP ground antenna to control a large number of drones. The ground antenna has a communication link of 30km, and it consists of four sector antennas in the horizontal direction and one directional antenna at the top.

This paper investigates the radiated emission from the enclosure aperture, when the enclosure contains a 4-layer PCB and the PCB is driven by a pulse train additive with the switching noise from an active device. Radiated emission characteristics with and without switch noise cases, respectively, are analyzed by changing the PCB location and the slot direction. The equivalent circuit of a DC-DC converter is used to simulate the switching noise of active device. Also, MWS simulation results are directly connected to the ADS simulator as a 2-port block. The simulated results are compared with the measured ones.

In this paper, design of a $2{\sim}18$ GHz wideband cavity-backed spiral antenna is investigated. Firstly, an arm pattern and a backing cavity of a cavity-backed spiral antenna are designed based on the design theory of an Archimedean spiral antenna as well as by using CST's MWS. VSWR, axial ratio, and HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) characteristics are considered in the simulation. Secondly, a Marchand coaxial balun is designed to meet the required VSWR within the frequency band of operation. Finally, the validity of these approaches is verified by comparing the simulated results with measured ones.

In this study, we have fabricated 9.385[GHz] circulator that is composed of WR112 waveguide and Ferrite for X-band radar. For designing Ferrite, B/R mode(Below Resonance mode) was used and calculated the condition of 120 degree rotation of the electric field in Ferrite and calculated internal DC magnetic field and external DC magnetic field. Also, dielectric materials of the same shape with Ferrite was filled between two Ferrite for improving the performance of the circulator, including impedance matching, bandwidth, quality factor, insertion loss. To obtain optimum shape of the Ferrite and dielectric material, we used CST MWS. Simulation result of the circulator is that 1.02 : 1 VSWR, -40dB isolation, 0.2dB insertion loss and measurement result is that 1.03 : 1, -38dB, 1.2dB at 9.385[GHz]. We can get good agreement at isolation and VSWR, but insertion loss was 1 dB great than simulation result.

In this paper, a slotted waveguide feeder for the electric field uniformity in multi-mode cavity is designed and fabricated. In case of the conventional feeder, a mode stirrer or a turntable is used for improving electric field uniformity in the multi-mode cavity. The proposed feeder has four slots, which have uniform radiation characteristic, on broad wall and shorted terminations at both ends. The electric field uniformity is simulated by CST's MWS(Microwave Studio) for the conventional and proposed feeders, respectively. The fabricated feeder shows the return loss of less than -20 dB at 2.45 GHz. To verify the validity of our proposal, the temperature distribution of the water samples in the multi- mode cavity is observed after a few minutes' heating. The proposed feeder is confirmed to have much better field uniformity in the multi-mode cavity than the conventional feeder.

In this paper, the implementation of a null-steering antenna array using GPS patch antennas is suggested. The antenna array consists of five patch antenna elements fabricated on the ceramic substrate. The antenna element proposed here is a typical circular polarization patch and a prototype patch array antenna is manufactured on the PCB. The antenna has one reference element located at the center and other four elements are placed at the corners. A null in the direction of the jamming signal can be produced by changing the phases of 4-elements. Simulation results of the array antenna by CST MWS are presented and discussed. The basic performances are measured and the results are shown. The results show that the antenna presented here can be used to remove the signals from the directions of any jammers.
