This paper analyses the feasibility of using implantable antennas to detect and monitor tumors. We analyze this setting according to the wireless propagation loss and signal fading produced by human bodies and their environment in an indoor scenario. The study is based on the ITU-R propagation recommendations and prediction models for the planning of indoor radio communication systems and radio local area networks in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 100 GHz. We conduct primary estimations on 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz operating frequencies. The path loss presented in most short-range wireless implant devices does not take into account the human body as a channel itself, which causes additional losses to wireless designs. In this paper, we examine the propagation through the human body, including losses taken from bones, muscles, fat, and clothes, which results in a more accurate characterization and estimation of the channel. The results obtained from our simulation indicates a variation of the return loss of the spiral antenna when a tumor is located near the implant. This knowledge can be applied in medical detection, and monitoring of early tumors, by analyzing the electromagnetic field behavior of the implant. The tumor was modeled under CST Microwave Studio, using Wisconsin Diagnosis Breast Cancer Dataset. Features like the radius, texture, perimeter, area, and smoothness of the tumor are included along with their label data to determine whether the external shape has malignant or benign physiognomies. An explanation of the feasibility of the system deployment and technical recommendations to avoid interference is also described.

Untill now, the most well-known cofiguration for waveguide grating router(WGR) is composed of radiative star couplers and arrayed waveguide grating(AWG), which usually suffer form the rdiation loss of around 3dB or more. Therefore, te improved design of WGRs is needed to reduce the loss. In ths paper, we propose a novel WGR composed of multimode interference couplers which have good unifiormity, fabrication tolerance, and very low excess loss, and suggest the efficient algorithm to find the proper path length differences of AWG for given channel spacing and channel assignment to each output prot. The simulated spectral responses of the proposed WGR using the finite difference beam propagation method (BPM) show that the excess loss is less than 0.3dB and the crosstalk less than -25dB in case of 4x4 WGR, and the excess loss less than 0.4dB and the crosstalk less than -25dB in case of 8x8 WGR for all the channel wavelengths.

육상 이동통신의 서비스 범위 예측에 가장 기본이 되는 전송 손실 계산 방식은 그 적용범위 및 모델도출 방법에 따라 많은 발전을 거듭하여 왔다. 그러나, 전파는 이것이 지나가는 환경, 즉 빌딩의 특성이나, 나무, 그리고 지형형태 등에 의해 너무나 많은 영향을 받으므로 미국,일본 동 외국의 환경에서 만들어져 국내에 도입된 전파 예측모델들은 우리나라의 실정에 적합하지 않는 점이 많다. 본 논문에서는 국내 지형을 분석하여 그 특성에 따라 여섯가지의 종류로 분류하고 각각에 해당하는 국내 지역을 선정하여 무선호출 주파수 대역에서 전계강도 측정을 수행하였다. 또한, 이 측정 데이타를 이용한 실험식과 함께 산악지역에서의 회절 계산식을 포함하여 가시거리 및 비가시거리를 구분하여 전계강도를 계산하는 예측모델을 만들었다. 제안된 모델을 국내 지형 데이타 베이스와 연결하여 전계강도 예측을 수행한 값과 실측된 데이타와 비교한 결과, 최소 3dB에서 최고 9dB 정도로 오차가 나타났으므로 실용성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Simulations are currently an essential tool to develop and test wireless sensor networks (WSNs) protocols and to analyze future WSNs applications performance. Researchers often simulate their proposals rather than deploying high-cost test-beds or develop complex mathematical analysis. However, simulation results rely on physical layer assumptions, which are not usually accurate enough to capture the real behavior of a WSN. Such an issue can lead to mistaken or questionable results. Besides, most of the envisioned applications for WSNs consider the nodes to be at the ground level. However, there is a lack of radio propagation characterization and validation by measurements with nodes at ground level for actual sensor hardware. In this paper, we propose to use a low-computational cost, two slope, log-normal path­loss near ground outdoor channel model at 868 MHz in WSN simulations. The model is validated by extensive real hardware measurements obtained in different scenarios. In addition, accurate model parameters are provided. This model is compared with the well-known one slope path-loss model. We demonstrate that the two slope log-normal model provides more accurate WSN simulations at almost the same computational cost as the single slope one. It is also shown that the radio propagation characterization heavily depends on the adjusted model parameters for a target deployment scenario: The model parameters have a considerable impact on the average number of neighbors and on the network connectivity.

Super Wi-Fi is a Wi-Fi-like service exploiting TV white space (WS) which is expected to achieve larger coverage than today's Wi-Fi thanks to its superior propagation characteristics. Super Wi-Fi has been materialized as an international standard, IEEE 802.11af, targeting indoor and outdoor applications, and is undergoing worldwide field tests. This paper demonstrates the true potential of indoor Super Wi-Fi, by experimentally comparing the signal propagation characteristics of Super Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi in the same indoor environment. Specifically, we measured the wall and floor attenuation factors and the path-loss distribution at 770MHz, 2.401 GHz, and 5.540 GHz, and predicted the downlink capacity of Wi-Fi and Super Wi-Fi. The experimental results have revealed that TVWS signals can penetrate up to two floors above and below, whereas Wi-Fi signals experience significant path loss even through a single floor. It has been also shown that Super Wi-Fi mitigates shaded regions of Wi-Fi by providing almost-homogeneous data rates within its coverage, performs comparable to Wi-Fi utilizing less bandwidth, and always achieves better spectral efficiency than Wi-Fi. The observed phenomena imply that Super Wi-Fi is suitable for indoor applications and has the potential of extending horizontal and vertical coverage of today's Wi-Fi.

본 논문에서는 무선 전파 특성의 측정과 분석에 이용할 수 있는 측정 및 분석 시뮬레이터 프로그램을 개발 하였다. 프로그램은 GPIB 인터페이스를 통하여 측정 장비인 스펙트럼 분석기의 제어가 가능하고 측정된 데이터를 분석하여 평균 초과 지연(mean excess delay)과 RMS 지연 확산(RMS delay spread)을 산출해 낸다. 측정된 경로손실은 자유공간과 터널내의 이론적인 경로손실과 비교 할 수 있다. 측정되고 분석된 결과는 그래프의 형태로 출력된다. 측정 현장에서 데이터의 비교분석이 가능하기 때문에 본 프로그램은 측정의 수행과 검증함에 있어 매우 유용하다. 본 논문은 또한 2.45GHz 와 5.8GHz 주파수대역의 지하철 터널내의 전파경로에 의한 손실과 지연 특성을 측정하고 분석 하였고, 안테나의 빔 형태에 따른 전파경로 손실과 지연특성을 비교 분석 하였다. 터널은 송신안테나의 빔 형태와 무관하게 터널 내에 전파가 가득 차기 전까지는 자유공간과 비슷한 경로손실차를 가졌다. 터널 내에 전파가 가득차는 시점부터는 지하철 터널이 도파관 역할을 하여 LOS 및 N-LOS 구간 모두에서 자유공간에 비하여 손실차가 적게 나타났다. 고주파대역 보다는 저주파 대역인 2.45GHz에서 전파 경로에 의한 손실이 적었고, 신호의 수신 전력은 높게 측정 되었다. 지연특성에 있어서는 양 대역 모두에서 슬릿빔 안테나의 지연확산량이 가장 적게 나타났다.

Usually, propagation attenuation of millimeter wave occurs by rainfall, snowfall, temperature, effect of pressure of air. In 60GHz wave band wireless communication network, temperature change becomes big factor of propagation loss department. Also, temperature change causes disturbance of 60GHz frequency at transceiver. In this study, we used 60GHz transceiver and found propagation loss of wireless path and operating frequency disturbance characteristics. In transceiver that there is no temperature compensated device, operating frequency of TX changed by 60.865GHz at temperature of $-5^{\circ}C$, and appeared by 60.730GHz when is $50^{\circ}C$. Therefore, operating frequency change width by temperature change are about 100MHz, greatly. But, in transceiver that there is temperature compensated device, operating frequency of TX changed by 60.830GHz at temperature of $-5^{\circ}C$, and appeared by 60.710GHz when is $50^{\circ}C$. Therefore, operating frequency change width by temperature change are about 20MHz. According to these result, we constructed between buildings examination wireless site for point to point wireless communication using 60GHz band transceivers who have do temperature compensated device, and investigated data transmission characteristics about ambient temperature change. Therefore, if use transceiver that have temperature compensated device, may overcome the wireless transmission error in 60GHz band wireless communication LAN networks despite of ambient temperature change.

The growing use of unlicensed wireless systems has spurred interest in the 2.4 Ghz ISM band. In order to facilitate the efficient design of such systems, understandings of the propserties of radio wave propagation in buildings is necessary. Many authors have reported about statistical propagation models based on the extensive measurements in buildings. However, measurement based statistical analysis will not be enough for the optimum deployment of the communication systems in the specific building. Aviding expensive measurements in the individual buildings prior to installation, or adjustments afterwards, theoretical prediction models have been developed to predict the path loss and delay spread from the building floor plane. Predictions shows good agreements with measurements except for a few environments which was surrounded by heavy scatterers.
