We have designed a three-channel output multiplexer (OMUX) using a band-pass filter and an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna. The proposed band-pass filter is composed of an inner rectangular loop, an outer open stub, and a defected ground structure. The outer open stub can be used to control the pass band, and the inner rectangular loop can improve the insertion loss characteristics of the band-pass filter. The proposed band-pass filter, UWB antenna, and OMUX are fabricated and measured. The designed OMUX can cover the band group 1 (3,168-4,752 MHz) of WiX system. The measured radiation patterns are close to those of a conventional dipole antenna and the measured antenna gain varies from 1.8 dBi to 3 dBi over the operating frequency range.

The existing method to improve the coordination performance of the inner and outer parts of concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) composite columns by increasing the volume-stirrup ratio causes difficulties in construction due to over-dense stirrups. Thus, this paper proposes an open polygonal composite stirrup with high strength and high ductility CRB600H reinforced rebar, and seventeen specimens were constructed, and their axial compressive performance was tested. The main parameters considered were the volume-stirrup ratio, the steel tube size, the stirrup type and the stirrup strength. The test results indicated: For the specimens restrained by open octagonal composite stirrups, compared with the specimen of 0.5% volume-stirrup ratio, the compressive bearing capacity increased by 14.6%, 15.7% and 21.5% for volume-stirrup ratio of 0.73%, 1.07% and 1.61%, respectively. For the specimens restrained by open composite rectangle stirrups, compared with the specimen of 0.79% volume-stirrup ratio, the compressive bearing capacity increased by 7.5%, 6.1%, and -1.4% for volume-stirrup ratio of 1.12%, 1.58% and 2.24%, respectively. The restraint ability and the bearing capacity of the octagonal composite stirrup are better than other stirrup types. The specimens equipped with open polygonal composite stirrup not only had a higher ductility than those with the traditional closed-loop stirrup, but they also had a higher axial bearing capacity than those with an HPB300 strength grades stirrup. Therefore, the open composite stirrup can be used in practical engineering. A new calculation method was proposed based on the stress-strain models for confined concrete under different restrain conditions, and the predicted value was close to the experimental value.

본 논문에서는 여파기와 안테나 기능을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 마이크로스트립 공진기를 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 구조는 바깥쪽 링, 안쪽 링, 원형 패치, 그리고 3개의 포트로 이루어져 있다. 제안하는 구조가 여파기와 안테나로 동작하는 주파수는 각각 주로 안쪽 링과 원형 패치의 반지름에 의해 결정된다. 측정 결과를 통해 마이크로스트립 공진기가 여파기로 동작할 경우 공진 주파수는 0.69 GHz에서 3 dB 대역폭 15.1 %에 삽입 손실이 -1.4 dB의 특성을 보였다. 이 때, 통과 대역 아래 부분에 전달 영점은 0.52 GHz에, 윗부분의 전달 영점은 1.14 GHz와 2.22 GHz에 위치하였다. 위쪽 저지 대역에서 바깥쪽 링의 스터브에 의한 교차 결합(cross coupling)과 안쪽 링에 의해 각각 1개의 전달 영점이 형성된다. 원형 패치는 이중 모드(dual-mode) 특성을 형성하며, 또 다른 전달 영점을 유도한다. 제안한 구조가 안테나로 동작하는 주파수는 2.7 GHz이고, 이득은 3.8 dBi 였다. 여파기와 안테나의 공진 주파수에서 격리도 특성(isolation)이 각각 -25 dB 이하의 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.
