In this paper, a novel ultra-wideband planar monopole antenna for the UHF communications and Digital-TV reception is proposed. The proposed antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide(CPW) is based on a triangular patch that has a broadband characteristic. To further increase the bandwidth of the triangular patch antenna, the top side of the regular triangular patch is loaded with a notch cut and each oblique side with a step. In addition, a slope is given to the ground plane of the CPW structure. Experimental results show that the -10 dB return loss bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 2,320 MHz from 480~2,800 MHz(5.83:1 bandwidth), which covers all the frequency bands of the various wireless communication systems and Digital TV broadcasting in the UHF band. Within the entire operating frequency range, the measured antenna gain in y-z plane(E-plane) varies from 3.01 to 4.71 dBi.

This paper presents design methods for dual-frequency(2.4/5.8GHz) active receiving antennas. The proposed active receiving antennas are designed to interconnect the output port of a wideband antenna to the input port of an active device of High Electron Mobility Transistor directly and to receive RF signals of 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz simultaneously where the impedance matching conditions are optimized by adjusting the length of $1/20{\lambda}_0$(@5.8GHz) CPW transmission line in the planar antenna The bandwidth of implemented dual-frequency active receiving antennas is measured in the range of 2.0GHz to 3.1GHz and 5.25GHz to 5.9GHz. Gains are measured of 17.0dB at 2.4GHz and 15.0dB at 5.2GHz. The measured noise figure is 1.5dB at operating frequencies.

Recently, a brain imaging system with microwave devices has been proposed. The brain imaging system requires a small antenna which has ultra wide band(UWB) operating frequency bandwidth(0.5~2 GHz) and non-varying boresight of antenna over the frequency band. This paper proposes asymmetric corrugations on a tapered slot antenna (TSA) so that the size of the TSA is reduced by 14 % while 10 dB return loss bandwidth is satisfied over the operating frequency band from 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz. A miniaturized TSA with symmetric corrugations shows tilted boresight whilst frequency is getting lower; however, the proposed TSA with asymmetric corrugations maintains direction of boresight for different frequencies. This enhancements make an asymmetric corrugated TSA meet the requirement of the brain imaing system.

This study describes the design and verification of short range UWB(Ultra Wideband) imaging radar that is able to display high resolution radar image for front area of a UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle). This radar can help a UGV to navigate autonomously as it detects and avoids obstacles through foliage. We describe the relationship between bandwidth of transmitting signal and range resolution. A vivaldi antenna is designed and it's radiation pattern and reflection are measured. It is easy to make array antenna because of small size and thin shape. Aperture size of receiving array antenna is determined by azimuth resolution of radar image. The relation of interval of receiving antenna array, image resolution and aliasing of target on a radar image is analyzed. A vector network analyzer is used to obtain the reflected signal and corner reflectors as targets are positioned at grass field. Applicability of the proposed radar to UGV is proved by analysis of image resolution and penetrating capability for grass in the experiment.

오늘날 전자기파의 영향은, 제어장비의 내부에 있는 기판의 전자 부품에 전자기적인 충격을 주어 장비의 오동작이나 고장을 일으키는 등 심각한 문제들이 제기 되고 있다. 이러한 임펄스 전자기파는 제어 장치에 연결된 제어전선으로 타고 들어와서 전자장비 내부의 부품들과 반사,공진등을 일으켜서 결국에는 PCB(printed circuit board)에 손상을 입혀서 그 장치들을 사용 못하게 할 수가 있다. 주파수가 광대역인 50MHz 에서 800MHz 까지의 EMI(electro magnetic interference)환경을 만들 수 있는 장치를 제작 하였다. 이러한 UWB(ultra wide band)장치는 고전압펄스를 압축 성형하여, 동작시간이 아주 빠른 ultra fast 스위치를 통해서, 펄스의 기림 시간이 수백ps의 파형을 만들어, 안테나로 전송하여 공간으로 방사시키는 장치에 대해 설계 제작하여 실험한 결과에 대해 논하고자 한다.

GIS와 같은 전력기기들은 내부에 다양한 원인에 따른 결함이 존재할 경우 운전시간이 경과함에 따라 이 결함에 의해 절연열화가 진전되는 것이 일반적인 현상이며, 결국 사고로 이어지게 된다. 따라서 절연열화과정에서 부분방전 현상에 의한 전자파 신호를 보다 효율적으로 검출할 수 있는 UHF 스트립형센서를 설계하였다. 또한, 설계된 절연진단용 스트립형 센서를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 GIS 및 고압용 전력기기에 적용 가능성을 확인한 연구이다. 차후 설계한 절연진단용 UWB-안테나을 제작하여 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 측정값을 비교/분석 하고저 한다.

Various types of ultra-wideband components with 10's of GHz bandwidth have been developed utilizing a uniplanar ultra-wideband balun, which is a simple microstrip-to-coplanar stripline (CPS) transition structure with the operating frequency range from near DC to over 40 GHz. Developed ultra-wideband components include antennas, mixers, doublers, and detectors in a carrier type and in a surface mountable type. One of surface mountable components, for example, single balanced doubler has output frequency 8 ~ 28 GHz. These high-Performance, low-cost ultra-wideband components may replace expensive conventional components, and also can be used to develop new multi-GHz OWE application areas.

Ultra-wideband propagation measurement results for body area network scenarios are presented. We assumed several different scenarios for around-body and on-body propagations, and for each scenario, we conducted both time domain and frequency domain measurements in an anechoic chamber. For the around-body case, we investigated the effects of human body parts blocking line-of-sight, which could be accounted for by diffraction. On-body measurement results indicate a more complicated propagation mechanism exists in on-body propagation than in around-body propagation and antenna characteristics are affected.
