A wide-band E-plane notch phased array antenna having bandwidths of 3:1 and a scan volume of $\pm$ 45 is designed considering the active element pattern (AEP) with analysis of the full structure of E-plane notch phased array antenna. Using the numerical E-plane waveguide simulator as an infinite linear array in the broadside angle, the active reflection coefficient (ARC) of the unit element is optimized in the design frequency range. To evaluate the convergence of the AEP, the simulation of full array as changing the number array is investigated, and the minimum numbers of array that have characteristics similar to the AEP of an infinite array are determined.

본 논문에서는 원통형태의 배열구조에서 수평면(H-plane), 수직면(E-Plane) 빔조향 특성을 갖는 원통형 능동위상배열 안테나를 제안하였다. 상호결합특성이 우수한 접힌 다이폴 안테나를 원통의 배열구조에 적합하도록 설계하고, 수직과 수평으로 $8{\times}8$ 원통 배열구조를 갖는 지향성 배열안테나와 전력 분배를 위한 결합분배기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 원통배열 안테나의 복사소자 배열 간격은 반전력 빔폭과 빔 조향 시 그레이팅로브가 발생하지 않도록 결정하였다. 안테나의 빔 조향은 송수신장치 내부의 6비트 위상변위기를 이용하여 구현하였으며, 안테나 빔조향 시 수평면으로 -24도 ~ 24도, 수직면 기준으로 0도 ~ 36도의 빔조향 특성을 갖도록 고안되었다.

The noise temperature of existing millimeter-wave receivers is already within two or three times quantum noise limit. One of practical ways to increase the observation speed of single dish radio telescope without longer integration time is use of multi-beam focal plane array receiver as demonstrated in several large single dish radio telescopes. In this context the TRAO (Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory), which operates a 143n Cassegrain radio telescope, is planning to develop a 4 x 4 beams focal plane array SIS receiver system for 86-115 GHz band. Even though millimeter-wave HEMT LNA-based receivers approach the noise temperature comparable to the SIS receiver at W-band, it is believed that the receiver based on SIS mixer seems to offer a bit more advantages. The critical part of the multi-beam array receiver will be sideband separating SIS mixers. Employing such a type of SIS mixer makes it possible to simplify the quasi-optics of receiver. Otherwise, an SSB filter should be used in front of the mixer or some sophisticated post-processing of observation data is needed. In this paper we will present a preliminary design concept and components needed for the development of a new 3 mm band multi-beam focal plane array receiver.

In this paper, two 4$\times$4 rectangular patch array antennas operating at 20 GHz are implemented for the satellite communication. The sixteen patch antennas and microstrip feeding line are printed on a single-layered substrate. The design goal is to achieve high directivity and gain by optimizing design parameters through permutations in element spacing. The spacing between the array elements is chosen to be 0.736$\lambda$. Numerical simulation results indicate that the HPBW(Half-Power Beam Width) of the 4$\times$4 patch array antenna is 18.78 degrees in the E-plane and 18.48 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 17.18 dBi. Numerical simulations of a 4$\times$4 recessed patch array antenna yield a HPBW of 18.71 degrees in the E-plane and 17.82 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 19.43 dBi.

본 논문은 35GHz에서 동작하는 이동 목표물 추적용 마이크로스트립 배열 안테나에 대해 기술하였다. 넓은 범위에서 목표물을 탐지하기 위해 안테나는 azimuth 방향으로는 넒은 빔 폭이 넓은 E-plane 방향으로 배열하였으며, 3-dB 테이퍼 급전구조를 이용하여 비교적 간단하게 배열 안테나의 side-lobe level (SLL)를 -20dB이하로 하였으며, 동시에 azimuth 방향으로 12.8$^{\circ}$로 넓은 빔 폭을 얻도록 하였다.

유한한 기판크기가 E-평면으로 배열된 선형 위상 배열 안테나의 방사 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 여러 가지 기판 크기에 따른 active reflection coefficient 와 average active element pattern 으로부터 선형 배열안테나의 방사특성을 예측하였다. E-평면과 만나는 기판 가장자리까지의 거리 변화가 H-평면과 만나는 기판 가장자리까지의 거리 변화에 비해 위상 배열 안테나의 방사 패턴 특성에 미치는 영향이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper describes 3-dimensional volume array of 4 microphones including a reference microphone which is capable of imaging wideband noise source position in 2-dimensional image plane. The cross correlation function and corresponding imaging function between a reference microphone and other microphone, are derived as a function of noise source position. The magnitude of the imaging function gives noise source mapping in image plane. Since the image plane is selective from a rectangular and a cylindrical plane, noise source position information such as range and bearing relative to the array is identified very much easily. Simulation results for typical source configurations confirms the applicability of the proposed array in noise control field.

In this paper, two $4{\times}4$ rectangular patch array antennas operated at 20 GHz are implemented for the satellite communication. Two $2{\times}2$ sub-arrays are designed and used for the design of $4{\times}4$ patch array. The sixteen patch antennas and microstrip feeding line are printed on the single-layered substrate. The spacing between the array elements is chosen to be $0.736{\lambda}$. The HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) of the $4{\times}4$ microstrip patch array is 17.01 degrees in the E-plane and 17.71 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 11.6dB in the experimental results. The HPBW of the recessed $4{\times}4$ microstrip patch array is 18.66 degrees in E-plane and 17.12 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 12.55dB in the experimental results.

In this paper, we study the temperature change of a ${\mu}$-bolometer focal plane array with a capacitive transimpedance amplifier bias cancellation circuit. Thermal analysis is essential to understand the performance of a ${\mu}$-bolometer focal plane array, and to improve the temperature stability of a focal plane array characteristics. In this study, the thermal analyses of a ${\mu}$-bolometer and its two reference detectors are carried out as a function of time. The analyses are done with the $30{\mu}m$ pitch $320{\times}240$ focal plane array operating of 60 Hz frame rate and having a columnwise readout. From the results, the temperature increase of a ${\mu}$-bolometer in FPA by an incident IR is estimated as $0.689^{\circ}C$, while the temperature increase by a pulsed bias as $7.1^{\circ}C$, which is about 10 times larger than by IR. The temperature increase of a reference detector by a train of bias pulses may be increased much higher than that of an active ${\mu}$-bolometer. The suppression of temperature increase in a reference bolometer can be done by increasing the thermal conductivity of the reference bolometer, in which the selection of thermal conductivity also determines the range of CTIA output voltage.

본 논문에서는 배열안테나의 성능개선의 한 방법으로 표면파제어를 통한 격리도 개선에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 배열의 소자 간 격리도 개선을 위해 Perfect Magnetic Conductor(PMC)와 SOFT-표면을 도입하였으며, 접지면의 중앙부에 이들을 삽입하여 모의실험을 진행함으로써 격리도 변화와 성능개선 유무를 알아보았다. 모의실험 결과, E-plane 배열에서 PMC와 SOFT-표면 모두 최대 40 dB 이상의 격리도 향상과 더불어 최대 2.2 dBi 정도의 이득 개선을 확인하였으며, H-plane 배열의 경우, 표면파 전파를 통한 상호결합보다 공기 중의 field를 통한 상호결합이 보다 크게 작용하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구는 향후 소형 배열안테나 개발 및 배열안테나의 성능개선 등에 유용하게 사용될 것이다.
