In this paper, the miniaturized radio frequency identification(RFID) tag antennas used in UHF band$(908.5{\sim}914MHz)$ are designed and fabricated by using the circular loop antenna(CLA). Miniaturization of CLA was possible to transform the structure of circular loop into the structure of meander line. In the case of double meander line CLA is reduced up to 83% compared with the general type CLA. The $S_{11}$, -10 dB bandwidth, and gain of double meander line CLA were -11.9 dB, 12 MHz(1.3%), and -1.18 dBd. Also, a small half-wavelength CLA using double meander line is designed and fabricated for flat snack bag coated aluminum. The antenna is reduced up to 92.1% except ground. It shows the $S_{11}$ of -16.5 dB, -10 dB bandwidth of 48 MHz(5%) and gain of -0.58 dBd. The radiation pattern shows omni-directional pattern in z-y plane(x-axis pol.). Through this result, we can confirm that miniaturized type CLAs using meander lines are suitable for miniaturized RFIB tag antennas with the UHF band.

In this thesis, the Multi element antenna with wideband and enhanced gain characteristic is proposed to operate at both frequency range from 824 MHz to 896 11Hz for the CDMA and frequency range from 908.5 MHz to 914 MHz for the RFID band. The proposed antenna has tile size of $35{\times}15{\times}5mm^3$ in order to put it in the A model of S company and each element of the proposed antenna is folded to obtain the minimum size. To obtain the antenna with wideband and high gain characteristic, the radiator of the antenna is divided into 4 elements. As a result, bandwidth of the proposed antenna become broader and lower center frequency is appeared due to increased and lengthened current path. Moreover, the enhanced gain characteristic is verified because divided element structure that induct uniform current distribution can get increased antenna efficiency. To attain more uniform current distribution, modified structure of the feeding point that can deliver currents directly is designed. The antenna that alters the feeding structure has higher gain value. Each element is folded to increase the current paths considering the current directions to attain the miniaturization of the antenna. To measure the handset antenna, the handset case must be considered. Even though antenna is designed for predicted characteristic, the resonance frequency is shifted and antenna gain is deteriorated at predicted frequency while antenna is set in the handset case. 1.08 GHz of the resonant frequency is determined after frequency shift from 150 MHz to 200 MHz is confirmed and the maximum gain is measured as 3.1 dBi while antenna is not set in the handset. In case handset case is considered, the experimental results show that the impedance bandwidth for VSWR<2 is from 0.824 GHz to 0.936 GHz(110 MHz). This result appears that the proposed antenna can cover both CDMA and RFID band at once. The measured gain is from -3.4 dBi to -0.5 dBi and it has omni-directional pattern practically.

In the present study, a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed printed monopole antenna with an inverted n-shaped slot is newly proposed for dual band operations which cover bandwidths of CDMA (1.85~2.025 GHz) and WLAN (2.4~2.484 GHz) as well as implementation of omnidirectional radiation pattern. For enhancement of impedance bandwidth ($S11{\leq}10dB$) in 2.4 GHz WLAN frequency band, an inverted n-shaped slot instead of the previous n-shaped slot is etched on the printed radiating monopole. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on one side of FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of $50{\times}25mm^2$. It has been observed that the measured impedance bandwidths are 280 MHz (1.84~2.12 GHz) in frequency band of CDMA and 420 MHz (2.38~2.8 GHz) in WLAN frequency band respectively. It is noticeable that impedance bandwidth in 2.4 GHz frequency band of WLAN is enlarged to three times due to use of inverted L-shaped slot in comparison with impedance bandwidth 140 MHz (2.39~2.53 GHz) obtained by use of the previous n-shaped slot. In addition, good omnidirectional radiation patterns have been observed over the entire frequency band of interest.

This paper describes the operation results of the GPS receiver system for KSLV (Korea Space Launch Vehicle)-I on the launch site at Naro Space Center that is the first spaceport of South Korea located at Goheung. All equipments of KSLV-I including the GPS receiver system should be monitored and controlled through hard-wired interface during KSLV-I is on standby at the launch pad. The GPS receiver for KSLV-I is connected to triple almost omni-directional patch antennas mounted on the cylindrical surface of KSLV-I that should be erected vertically on the launch pad until lift-off. Signal interference and multipath effects observed in the GPS receiver on the launch site are analyzed in this paper based on the GPS signals received from each GPS antenna.

Portable devices such as smartphones with built-in wireless LAN to the prevalence of anyone using. But the wireless Internet connection and positioning services are limited to high-quality wireless service, they may not be available. Thus, wireless LAN infrared sensor in the same way as with angry alternative way wireless capabilities of the application automatically identify the location of the Sensor application as an alternative method is proposed. Thus, wireless LAN, such as infrared sensors and other alternzative methods of wireless features in a way where the application can recognize and automatically recognize the sensor application as an alternative method is proposed. Sensor is signals between wireless LAN and access points using the sensitivity, WLAN antenna with omni-directional signal output operation of the sensor is assumed to be recognize this by putting a direction to obtain through the proposed algorithm, Sensors such as photo-coupler without direct recognition sensor, wireless LAN and access points, the same function as the connection between the sensitivity to perform its function was to utilizing.

This study designed and manufactured "a DVOR virtual signal generator" to make the monitoring system of preliminary Doppler VHF Omni-directional Radio Range(DVOR) run like its real operation status in a narrow space in order to study "a DVOR virtual monitoring system". The designed and manufactured DVOR virtual signal generator is suitable for the specification of signal that is generated in the currently running equipment. In addition, it is possible to control operation conditions of equipment by using parameter variables, and the circuit construction is largely divided into the input part, the modulation part, the high-gain amplifier, and the power part. "The DVOR virtual monitoring system using the virtual signal designed and implemented in this study is very suitable to be used for low-cost actual education as it can construct the operation status like the real situation in a narrow space without using an actual system like an antenna generating side band.
