An effective method is proposed to suppress the second-order beams(SOBs) that result from the cross-polarized fields of 2D edge slot arrays. By rearranging the conventional sequence of stacking waveguides, the SOBs are shown to be considerably reduced and the 9 dB suppression is obtained. The optimal sequence is obtained from the genetic and exhaustive searches and its effects are verified using near-field measurements as well as theoretical estimation. Since the proposed method requires no additional polarizing structures such as baffles, it is very easy and cost-effective to implement.

In this paper, a waveguide-fed slot-coupled microstrip antenna is proposed as enhanced feeding structure of microstrip antenna and an analysis is presented. The presence of dielectric substrate between a stripand a slot is explicitly taken into account in this analysis. The evaluation of the antenna characteristics is carried out using the method of mements and the spectral domain approach in terms of the electric current distribution on the strip and the magnetic current distribution on the slot. From the results, we can conclude that the proposed structure is adequate for array antennas, due to ease of mass porduction and enhanced anteena performance.

Comparison on the performances between the Halbach array type permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (HA-PMLSM) and the convensional array type permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (CA-PMLSM) was made with finite element analysis (FEA) and experiment. The HA-PMLSM is seen to be superior to the CA-PMLSM. Optimum ratio of magnet length to slot pitch of the HA-PMLSM which reduces the detent force was determined. Also, Comparison of forces of the HA-PMLSM and the CA-PMLSM with minimum detent force is presented.

In this paper, a high gain waveguide array antenna combining horn antenna on slot radiator was designed. And the fabricated antenna showed enough gain, improved efficiency and broadband characteristics for receiving satellite signals, compare to conventional microstrip antenna which has dielectric loss and radiation loss on transmission line. For easy fabrication, the waveguide structure was composed by 3-stages of radiator, signal coupler and transmission line. By experiment, the array waveguide antenna of 4 by 16 showed 28.3[dBi] gain and 2:1 of VSWR. And by combining horn antenna structure, the gain was increased 1[dB]. The received signal from Koreasat 6 by measurement showed 16[dBc] of C/N on BS(Broadcasting Satellite)-band and 14[dBc] of C/N on CS(Communication Satellite)-band.

A T-shaped microstripline -fed printed slot antenna is anlayzed by using the transmission line model(TLM) in this paper. Microstrip-slotline junction is modeled by employing a transformer and the transformer turn ratio is derived empirically. The method is extended to the case of $1\times2,l\times4$array antennas. Return loss results obtained by using the transmission line model. The maximum measured results and demonstrated the usefulness of the transmission line model. The maximum bandwidths of a single antenna, $1\times2,l\times4$ array antennas are 28.5%, 47.8%, and 50.9%, respectively, for the VSWR$\leq2$. The gain of $1\times4$ array antenna is 7.97dBi and the beamwidth is about $27^{\circ}$.

Because the installation problem of parabola antenna that is tilted to 45 degree when this antenna is installed at the area of middle latitude, the study on planar antenna in place of parabola antenna is made rapid progess. Especially, The development of the planar antenna for VSAT is needed depending on the increased Ka-band satellite communications. In this paper, in order to meet with these performances, an array antenna consisting of the vertical polarized waveguide longitudinal slots based on the leaky-wave mode of traveling wave antenna is proposed. Especially, for the lower sidelobe level, the design method of the radiation power distribution control using the different slot widths is proposed. An array antenna consisting of 32 leakywave waveguide antennas is showing 35.16 dBi of gain, 2.5 degree of beamwidth at azimuth, below than -30 dB of sidelobe level, 45.8 degree of beam tilt angle in center frequency 30.2 GHz.

In this paper, the study of a waveguide aperture-coupled feed-structured antenna has been conducted for the purpose of applying it to a wireless back-haul system sufficient for high-capacity gigabits-per-second data rates. For this study, a $32{\times}32$ waveguide slot sub-array antenna with a corporate-feed structure was designed and produced. Also, this antenna is used at 57 GHz to 66 GHz in the V-band. The construction of the antenna is a laminated form with radiating parts (outer groove and slot, cavity), a coupled aperture, and feeds in each. The antenna was designed with HFSS, which is based on 3D-FEM, produced with aluminum processed by a precision-controlled milling machine, and assembled after a silver-plating process. The measurement result from analysis of the characteristics of the antenna shows that return loss is less than -12 dB, VSWR < 2.0, and a wide bandwidth ranges up to 16%. An overall first side lobe level is less than -12.3 dB, and a 3 dB beam width is narrow at about $1.85^{\circ}$. Also, antenna gain is 38.5 dBi, offering high efficiency exceeding 90%.

The electromagnectic modal analysis method for the multiscreen structure with periodic slot array with including conductor thickness effect is presented. The multiscreen structure is seen to be exactly equivalent to a microwave guide closed by phase-shift walls. From this viewpoint, the entire generalized scattering matrix of the multiscreen structure is calculated by the cascade connection of the scattering matrices obtained by the modal analysis at guide junctions and the transmission matrices of guide region. The present method is verified in comparison with the results calculated by the previous method of moment for single screen structure. As an application example of the present method, the spatial filter having multiscreen structure is designed and the interesting characteristics such as transmission and reflection coefficient versus frequency & angle are investigated.

In this paper, we proposed a flate-plate antenna employing semi-annular slots for satellite broadcast reception. The radiating element of the antenna is dual annular slots fed by a strip dipole, which have a wider bandwidth than the rectangular slot. A $16{\times}16$ array antenna is designed using stripline T-junction power dividers. Measurements of the fabricated antenna show a gain of 28.0$\~$29.5 dB in 11.7$\~$12.8 GHz frequency range.
