This paper is a study on electromagnetic wave absorption properties for the composition ratio of Ni-Zn-Fe$_2$O$_4$. Li-Zn-Fe$_2$O$_4$was composed of Fe$_2$O$_3$ 48∼51mo1%, LiO 18 ∼22mo1%, ZnO 34∼27mo1%. and sintering was carried out at 1200$^{\circ}C$. Through the experiments, the resonance phenomenon occured at low frequence range for high permeability, and vice versa. Specialy, In the case of Fe$_2$O$_3$49mol%, NiO 20mo1%, ZnO 3lmol% ,and the matching thickness was 10mm , the absorbing bandwith was 0.35 ∼0.95GHz. Also, In the case of Fe$_2$O$_3$51mo1%. NiO 22mo1%, ZnO 27mol%, we could get the absorbing bandwith of 0.45∼1.2GHz when the matching thickness was 6mm. Therefore. it is proved that electromagnetic wave absorbers with the above bandwidth range can be fabricated successful1y.

This paper presents a simple dynamical prediction scheme of the signal level which is attenuated and varied due to rain fading in satellite communication links using above 10GHz frequency bands. The proposed prediction scheme has four functional blocks for discrete-time low-pass filtering, slope-based prediction, mean-error correction and hybrid fixed/variable prediction margin allocation. Through simulations using Ka-band attenuation data obtained from the data measured over Ku-band by frequency-scaling, it is shown that the slope-based prediction with the mean-error correction has as small standard deviation of prediction error as below 1 dB, and that the error is about 1.5 to 2.5 times as small as that without the mean-error correction. The hybrid prediction margin allocation requires smaller average margin than those of both fixed and variable methods.

High altitude platform station(HAPS) is being developed actively in some countries as well as Korea. At the same time Resolution 734 was adopted in WRC-2000 to study the sharing of HAPS into the existing fixed services in the bands above 3GHz. As one of the sharing studies, interferences between HAPS and radio-relay stations should be analyzed by dividing into two cases, the one is the interference effects of HAPS system into radio-relay stations and on the contrary, the other that of radio-relay stations into HAPS system. Since the former case had been already studied, only the latter case will be focused on this paper. Analysis result shows that the coordination distance must be needed above 100 km when the trendline of radio-relay is located vertical to HAPS service area and the transmitting power is -50 dBW/MHz.

This paper describes the performance evaluation and analysis of Wireless Local Area Network (W-LAN) in the 5 GHz ISM-band in compliance with IEEE 802.11a. At present, most W-LAN products are based on 2.4 GHz band, but low speed (11Mbps) has the limitation to serve systems demanding high-speed data transmission. To solve this problem, it is necessary to design next generation W-LAN system with 54Mbps in the 5GHz. It is sure that implementation of next generation W-LAN will bring competitive advantages. In particular, it will support telecommunications for high-speed mobile environments as well as for fixed places such as a school zone, a lecture room, a hospital and other premises. A few simulation methods are applied to more accurate and reliable performance analysis of next generation W-LAN. To verify if continuous data service is supported for a high-speed mobile notebook, multi-path fading channels between wireless Access Point (AP) and wireless Network Interface Card (NIC) are modeled. In addition, low interference is analyzed via convolutional codes and Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Also, to obtain reliable Bit Error Rate (BER), a single tap Least Mean Square (LMS) equalizer is applied. Given the above simulation, next generation W-LAN is an ideal solution for continuous data transmission in high-speed mobile environments.

Recently, there is a growing need to develope small-size RF chip inductors operating to GHz to realize high-performance, micro-fabricated wireless communication products. For the development of high-performance RF chip inductors, however, the ferrite-based chip inductors can not be used above 300MHz due to the limitation of the permeability of this material. In this work, small-size, high-performance RF chip inductors utilizing amorphous $Al_2O_3$ core material were investigated. Copper (Cu) with 40${\mu}m$ diameter was used as the coils and the chip inductor size fabricated in this work is $2.1mm{\times}1.5mm{\times}1.0mm$. The external current source was applied after bonding Cu coil leads to gold pads electro-plated on the bottom edges of a core material. The composition of core materials was measured using a EDX. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L), quality factor (Q), and impedance (Z) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). The developed inductors have the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of 1 to 3.5 GHz and exhibit L of 22 to 150 nH. The L of the inductors decreases with increasing the SRF. The Z of the inductors has the maximum value at the SRF and the inductors have the quality factor of 70 to 97 in the frequency range of 500 MHz to 1.5 GHz.

In this paper, a CPW lowpass filter with the spurious-reduced characteristic is designed by using DGS(Defected Ground Structures). By cascading two lowpass filters with different harmonic characteristics the spurious is reduced below - 15 dB. Additionally by combining a dumbbell shaped DGS to the filter we achieved a satisfactory spurious level of less than -25 dB to above three times cutoff frequency without any repeated passband. The fabricated LPF shows a compact size of $17.2mm{\times}6.8mm$, a cutoff frequency of 6 GHz, and a sharp skirt response of 7-order with two notch frequencies. The measured frequency responses agree well with simulated ones.

Design of microwave absorbers using high frequency properties of fiber reinforced composites are investigated. Two kinds of composite materials (glass and carbon) are used and their complex permittivity and permeability are measured by transmission/reflection technique using network analyzer. Low dielectric constant and nearly zero dielectric loss are determined in glass fiber composite. However, carbon fiber composites show the high dielectric constant and large conduction loss which is increased with anisotropy of fiber arrangement. It is, therefore, proposed that the glass and carbon fiber composites can be used as the impedance transformer (surface layer) and microwave reflector, respectively. By inserting the foam core or honeycomb core (which can be treated as an air layer) between glass and carbon fiber composites, microwave absorption above 10 dB (90% absorbance) in 4-12 GHz can be obtained. The proposed fiber composites laminates with sandwitch structure have high potential as lightweight and high strength microwave absorbers.

A transformer feedback low-noise amplifier (LNA) is implemented in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process, which exploits drain-to-gate transformer feedback technique for wideband input matching and operates across entire 3~5 GHz ultra-wideband (UWB). The proposed LNA achieves power gain above 9.5 dB, input return loss less than 15.0 dB, and noise figure below 4.8 dB, while consuming 8.1 mW from a 1.8-V supply. To the authors' knowledge, drain-to-gate transformer feedback for wideband input matching cascode LNA is the first adopted technique for UWB application.

FeCoB films were being prepared on a Ru underlayer by using the oblique incidence of sputtered and back-scattered particles which have a high in-plane magnetic anisotropy field $H_k$ above 400 Oe. It is suitable to attain such deposition condition when facing targets sputtering system. The in-plane X-ray diffraction analysis clarified that there is anisotropic residual stress which is the origin of the high in-plane magnetic anisotropy. The directional crystalline alignment and inclination of crystallite growth were also observed. Such anisotropic crystalline structures may affect the anisotropic residual stress in the films. The B content of 5.6 at.% was appropriate to induce such anisotropic residual stress and $H_k$ of 410 Oe in this experiment. The film with B content of 6 at.% possessed large saturation magnetization of 22 kG and high $H_k$ of 500 Oe. The film exhibited high ferromagnetic resonance frequency of 9.2 GHz.

The following conclusions were obtained after analyzing the data transmission characteristics using two frequencies and studying a system that selects data with a good reception frequency as a priority data. Data transmission and reception using two frequencies were measured at -41 to -51 dBm when the frequency was normal, and data transmitted at 900 MHz was selected as priority data. When priority frequency failure occurred, the frequency reception data of the next rank was automatically adopted, and when the frequency of the next rank was disturbed, the priority frequency search was performed again. The above results show that the use of two frequencies enables more stable data transmission and transmission, and further studies should be continued to expand the transmission and reception distances.
