In this paper, a quad-band antenna for DCS1800, PCS1900, WCDMA, WLAN and Mobile WiMAX application is proposed. The proposed antenna is a printed monopole structure, and consists of two rectangular ring-shaped radiating patches on the front side and two different size of L-shaped slots on the back side(ground plane). Two rectangular ring radiation patches are respectively resonant at 2 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands, and additional resonance is occurred at 5.3 GHz by the coupling effect between two ring patches. In addition, the optimized matching characteristic is obtained by controlling the gaps. Also, by adding two L-slots on the ground plane, additional resonant frequency band of 5.6 GHz is occurred. Finally the measured bandwidths of the proposed antenna below -10 dB return loss are 1,200 MHz(1.6~2.8 GHz), 800 MHz(3.2~4.0 GHz), 300 MHz(5.14~5.44 GHz), and 690 MHz(5.56~6.25 GHz). The radiation patterns have the omni-directional characteristic, and the measured antenna average gains at resonant bands are 0.86~4.07 dBi.

Fifth-generation communications are approaching, and they will require broadband antennas that include the existing LTE frequency band (1.7 GHz to 2.7 GHz) and the newly allocated frequency band (3.4 GHz to 3.7 GHz). Many kinds of antennas satisfy the required broadband characteristics, including the dual-element folded dipole antenna proposed in this paper. A zigzag line was used to make the antenna more compact. This was accomplished by reducing the physical length while maintaining the electrical length. To validate the proposed antenna, a prototype was fabricated using PCB (${\epsilon}_r$:4.4, Height: 1.6 mm) and its performance was evaluated. Results obtained by simulation and experiment showed good agreement.

This paper presents the 8-channel active module operated in Ka-band. The module is designed for the mobile satellite communication antenna systems, and the module structure has the merit to minimize the size and weight of the antenna systems by 30% compared with the conventional systems using the active module composed of single channel. This module was designed to be optimally operated by prohibiting the electrical interference among the individual channels. From the test results of the fabricated 8-channel active module, it can be confirmed that the maximum channel gain error is ${\pm}1.3dB$, the minimum channel output power is 21.5dBm, and the maximum gain variation by phase control is ${\pm}1.0dB$.

In this paper, 5.8GHz 25W microwave wireless power transmission system was developed. The transmission system is composed of a signal generator, a 1W drive amplifier, a 25W power amplifier, and a circularly polarized transmission antenna. The receiving system was fabricated with an integrated receiver that combines a circularly polarized receiving antenna, a pass band filter, and an RF-DC converter. And a multi-integrated receiver had twelve parts, including an integrated receiver. Under the conditions, voltage and current were measured for the system at 5cm intervals from a minimum distance of 5cm to a maximum distance of 80cm. The power was calculated for the system. The results of the system are shown in tables and graphs. The power decreases with distance, but the power does not drop sharply due to a multi-integrated receiver.

The 4 by 4 series slot sub-array antenna is proposed using substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) technology for 35 GHz of Ka band application. The proposed antenna is realized with multi-layered structure for compact size and easy integration features. 4 by 4 radiating slots are arrayed on top PCB with equal spacing and the feeding SIWs are arranged on middle and bottom PCBs for uniform power distribution. The multi-layered antenna is realized using RT/Duroid 5880 that has dielectric constant of 2.2 and the total antenna size is $750.76mm^2$. The individual parts such as radiators and feeding networks are simulated using full-wave simulator CST MWS. Furthermore, the total sub-array antenna also fabricated and measured the electrical performances such as impedance bandwidth under the criteria of -10 dB(490 MHz), maximum gain(18.02 dBi), sidelobe level(SLL)(-11.0 dB), and cross polarization discrimination (XPD)(-20.16 dB).

UWB(Ultra Wide Band) under standardization for WPAN has a restriction in transmitting power because of interference with existing systems. To overcome the restriction, in this paper, we construct the MIMO(Multi-input-Multi-Output) channel using multi-transmit/receiver antennas and analyze the performance of the proposed system. In addition, through numerical simulation, we obtain the interference property among these antennas and analyze the effect of an interference to the system. The proposed UWB system has a ML detector and the least square method will be used to cancel the multi-user interference and the inter symbol interference caused by multipath.

MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) system is an electro-optical camera system which is being developed to be installed on KOMPSAT-2 satellite. High resolution image data from MSC system will be transmitted to the ground-station through x-band antenna called APS (Antenna Pointing System). APS is a directional antenna which will point to the receiving antenna at ground station while the satellite is passing over it. The APS needs to be controlled accurately to provide the reliable communication with big RF link margin. The APS is controlled by ATS (Antenna Tracking Software) which is included in the MSC software. ATS uses the closed loop control algorithm which will use TPF (Tracking Parameter File) as an input for antenna position, and will use two resolve readings from APS as a feedback. ATS has been developed and verified using APS QM (Qualification Model) and all the control parameters for ATS have been tested and verified. Various kinds of maximum, nominal and realistic dynamics for the APS movement have been simulated and verified. In this paper, closed loop servo control algorithm and obtained APS position error from the verification test with APS QM will be presented in detail

A wideband monopole antenna using a parasitic branch is proposed for allowing operations at multiple frequency bands specified in GSM($824{\sim}894MHz$), PCS($1750{\sim}1870MHz$), WiBro($2.3{\sim}2.4GHz$), WLAN/ISM ($2.4{\sim}2.48GHz$) and SDMB($2.605{\sim}2.655GHz$). We have used two branch monopoles and the one parasitic branch. Prototype of the multiband antenna have been successfully implemented and good radiation characteristics the operating frequency bands have been obtained. The effect of a parasitic branch was also studied.

A frequency reconfigurable antenna based on graphene and used for multi-band wireless communications is presented in this article. The proposed antenna, which consists of two radiating rectangular loops with a graphene extension, is analyzed for Global Positioning System (GPS) and Iridium applications. Its operating frequency is tuned through the implementation of a layer of graphene and thereby adjusting the applied gate bias. Furthermore, the results show a novel use of graphene for microwave frequencies while achieving a frequency reconfiguration with an improvement of the impedance matching and the gain. The results also prove the importance of graphene, with its exceptional properties, for a promising future in nano-electronics.

The frequency selective surface for use in Ka/Ku band parabolic antenna of domestic satellite communications is proposed. The frequency selective surface structure consists of the infinite periodic arrays of the triple square loop slot element with narrow width on the honeycomb structure of multi-layered dielectric. The frequency selective surface is fabricated and measured. The good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment. It is demonstrated that the frequency selective surface passes 14/12 GHz band wave while reflecting 30/20 GHz band wave as required.
