In this paper, we designed and implemented the dual band monopole antenna for cellular CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) and IMT-2000(International Mobile Telecommunication 2000) repeater. The antenna was designed by using 3D simulations program, HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). Electrical characteristics were measured by using HP 8720C network analyzer and measured maximum S$\_$11/ was -10.9 dB for all frequency bands of interests in Cellular CDMA and IMT-2000. Simulation results for antenna gain at 859 MHz and 2027.5 MHz were 2.38 dBi and 4.02 dBi respectively with omni directional radiation pattern. The size of implemented antenna is compact and the antenna can be produced in low cost enough for commercialization.

A microstrip feedline based open ended folded-slot antenna is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated on the FR4 dielectric substrate. The proposed antenna has a wide n-shaped slot that is useful for designing circuit components on the same printed circuit board (PCB) as that of the radio frequency (RF) modules. The proposed antenna use two kinds of slots as radiators, and each slots have different characteristics because of the different type of ends of the slot. The wideband characteristic can be obtained by resonances of each slot which are occurred at different frequencies. The measured impedance bandwidth (S₁₁≤ -10 dB) is 2.9-11.56 GHz, and the antenna peak gain is 2-4 dBi over the UWB range. The antenna has a stable omni-directional radiation pattern and only a small group-delay variation across the UWB passband. In addition, we present a modified design with band-notched characteristics of a 5 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) frequency band.

지구 자기권의 입자분포는 지구 자기권의 상태와 태양풍의 물리적 상황에 따라 다르다. 가령, 정지궤도에서 고에너지 입자의 flux가 낮아지는 것이 관측된다. 이러한 flux dropout 기간은 대부분 storm main phase에 해당된다. 반면 태양풍의 속력이 상대적으로 높은 HSS(high speed stream)기간 동안에는 대부분 정지궤도에서의 고에너지 입자 flux가 높아지며 radiation belt의 고에너지 입자들의 seed electron 역할을 할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GOSE 11 위성의 electron flux data와 태양풍의 속도를 이용하여 HSS, quiet time, flux dropout 기간을 정의 하였다. 또한, 지구로부터 7~8Re 떨어진 night side지역을 radiation belt의 trapping boundary 바로 바깥 경계지역과 같다고 가정하였다. 그리고 각 기간 동안 이 경계지역에서 입자들의 분포와 관련된 물리적 조건을 결정하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이는 방사선 벨트 내부에서의 역학적 진화에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 2007년 6월부터 2010년 8월까지 이러한 경계지역에 THEMIS 위성이 위치했을 때 ESA와 SST의 omni-directional flux를 이용하여 에너지에 대한 입자플럭스 분포 함수를 산출하였다. 또한 각 기간에 평균한 분포 함수를 가장 잘 나타낼 수 있는 해석적 함수를 도출하였다. 추가로, 경계지역에서의 입자들의 pitch angle 분포 패턴도 결정 하였다. 이 결과는 방사선 벨트의 전산모사에서 실질적인 경계 조건으로 사용될 수 있다.

Stochasitc gravitational wave background (SGWB) is expected to be contributed by primordial sources (e.g. inflation signature) and astrophysical sources (e.g., incoherent superposition of a large numbers of compact binary inspirals throughout in the Universe). Theoretically, SGWB is predicted to span in a broad frequency range between less than nHz up to kHz. Many gravitational-wave (GW) detectors such as LIGO or LISA aim to detect or constrain SGWB in different frequency band that is most sensitive for each detector. In this talk, we focus on the prospectives of constraining the energy density of SGWB between 0.1-10 Hz. We introduce the characteristics of SGWB and representative models for primordial and astrophysical sources. Then, we propose a signal extraction scheme to detect SGWB using one or several omni-directional GW detectors such as SLGT(Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope). Considering SLGT sensitivity, we discuss how to observe SGWB in 0.1-10 Hz if we have SLGT network. Finally, we highlight interesting SGWB models that can be constrained in 0.1-10 Hz with SLGT.

A $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ square spiral microstrip antenna (YBCO antenna) was epitaxially grown on a $LaAlO_3$ substrate by laser ablation. Also fabricated was a gold square spiral microstrip antenna (gold antenna) having the same structure as that of the YBCO antenna in order to compare the properties of both antennas. Both the YBCO antenna and the gold antenna were operated in Ku (12-18 GHz) band, and their properties such as the return loss, SWR, power gain, and radiation patterns were investigated at 77 K. The return loss below -10 dB was obtained in two frequency ranges, i.e., 14.05-14.90 GHz, and 16-18 GHz for the YBCO antenna at 77 K (YBCO superconducting antenna), and in the frequency range of 15.05-17.60 GHz for the gold antenna at 77 K. The SWR bandwidths are 0.85 GHz and 2 GHz for the YBCO superconducting antenna, and 2.55 GHz for the gold antenna at 77 K. The gain improvement of the superconducting YBCO antenna over the gold antenna at 77 K was about 10 dB in the frequency range of 16 GHz to 18 GHz. The radiation patterns show the YBCO superconducting antenna has the omni-directional property of a spiral antenna.

The movements of three striped jack (Caranx delicatissimus, 24cm of body length) were tracked by ultrasonic telemetry in the Nunoura Bay in August 1990. A school of the striped jack has been released near by the fish farming rafts by Goto branch of the Fisheries Agency and Japan Sea-Farming Association. To investigate the staying area and the swimming pattern of the fish, small size pinger($\Phi$8.5$\times$L35mm, 140dB re 1$\mu$Pa at 1m, 69kHz) was tagged on the dorsal fin without any anesthesia. The movements of three tagged fish are monitored at the same time with four omni-directional hydrophones. The locations of the fish are calculated by the hyperbolic method and tracked by a technique so called time division scheme which uses both the pulse interval and the phase. Three pingers used have the pulse interval of 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9sec, respectively, and the common pulse duration of 15ms. In results it was capable to estimate behavior right after the release, swimming speeds and approximate moving area of the fish. The movements were tracked for a week continuously, and it was found out that the staying area of the fish was around or under the farming rafts. Sometimes they swam together but most of the time they move separately. The average swimming speed of those fish was about two times of the body length.

Motivated by the Communication Broadcasting Convergence service, various technical approaches are being used to develop more efficient antenna models. This paper proposes a compact mobile antenna which is attachable to a cell phone and is applicable for Communication Broadcasting Convergence. In the design of the antennas for mobile handsets, size reduction is a crucial factor. In this paper, the compactness of a loop antenna is realized by bending a folded-dipole. A short planar dipole is transformed to a twice folded dipole and a loop antenna to produce a larger input resistance. The current distribution of the antenna is the same as a loop antenna, and its radiation patterns are omni-directional. We also analyze the performance of the RFID antenna by exploring the current-induced near field radiation patterns using a electro-optic field mapping system.

In this paper, we propose a novel wide band printed elliptic monopole antenna for UWB(Ultra wide Band). Wideband planar monopole disc antenna have been recently studied. The proposed antenna can cover m frequencies from 3.5GHz to 12GHz. it is determined from 10dB return loss. Antenna radiation pattern is omnidirectional at 3.5GHz - 10GHz. The antenna consists of the printed elliptical monopole disc with microstrip-line feed. Elliptic disc of antenna and ground height operate important to matching. The proposed antenna easy to construct UWB system.

For the underwater localization, acoustic sensor systems are widely used due to greater penetration properties of acoustic signals in underwater environments. On the other hand, the good penetration property causes multipath and interference effects in structured environment too. To overcome this demerit, a localization method using the attenuation of electro-magnetic(EM) waves was proposed in several literatures, in which distance estimation and 2D-localization experiments show remarkable results. However, in 3D-localization application, the estimation difficulties increase due to the nonuniform (doughnut like) radiation pattern of an omni-directional antenna related to the depth direction. For solving this problem, we added a depth sensor for improving underwater 3D-localization with the EM wave method. A micro scale pressure sensor is located in the mobile node antenna, and the depth data from the pressure sensor is calibrated by the curve fitting algorithm. We adapted the depth(z) data to 3D EM wave pattern model for the error reduction of the localization. Finally, some experiments were executed for 3D localization with the fast calculation and less errors.
