In this paper, a tunable microstrip patch antenna designed using RF MEMS switches is reported. The design and simulation antenna were performed using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). The antenna was designed in ISM Band and operates simultaneously at 2.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz with a -10 dB return-loss bandwidth of 20 MHz and 180 MHz, respect-tively. To obtain high efficiency and improve integrated ability, the High Resistivity Silicon (HRS) wafer was used for the antenna. The antenna achieved high gain with 8 dB at 5.7 GHzand 1.5 dB at 2.4 GHz. The RF MEMS DC contact switches was simulated and analysis by ANSYS software.

This paper presents a novel miniaturized 3-D cubic antenna for use in wireless sensor network (WSN) application. The geometry of this antenna is designed as a cube including a meander dipole antenna. A truly omnidirectional pattern is produced by this antenna in both E-plane and H-plane, which allows for non-intermittent communication that is orientation independent. The operating frequency lies in the ISM band (centered in 2.45 GHz). The dimensions of this ultra-compact cubic antenna are 1.25*1.12*1cm3 which features a length dimension λ/11. The coefficient which presents the overall antenna structure is Ka=0.44. The cubic shape of the antenna is allowing for smart packaging, as sensor equipment may be easily integrated into the cube hallow interior. The major constraint of WSN is the energy consumption. The power consumption of radio communication unit is relatively high. So it is necessary to design an antenna which improves the energy efficiency. The parameters considered in this work are the resonant frequency, return loss, efficiency, bandwidth, radiation pattern, gain and the electromagnetic field of the proposed antenna. The specificity of this geometry is that its size is relatively small with an excellent gain and efficiency compared to previously structures (reported in the literature). All results of the simulations were performed by CST Microwave Studio simulation software and validated with HFSS. We used Advanced Design System (ADS) to validate the equivalent scheme of our conception. Input here the part of summary.

There have three kinds of partial discharge diagnosis testing: online, offline and dismantled testing on high voltage rotating machine. Our lab testing is dismantled testing, taking off pieces into individual parts of stator coil of high voltage rotating machine in laboratory. We investigate internal discharge, slot discharge, corona discharge and normal state on pre-made stator winding by using spiral patch antenna sensor. In this lab test we compare the experimental results of our spiral patch antenna sensor and reference commercial HFCT sensor.

본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 지향성 안테나를 이용한 위치인식 기법이다. 여기서 앵커 노드는 GPS모듈, 섹터안테나, 그리고 디지털 나침반을 이용하여 각 섹터의 방위각을 전송 할 수 있는 능력을 가지고 있다고 가정한다. 기존의 센서네트워크에서 위치인식 알고리즘은 대부분이 센서 노드들이 고정되어 있는 환경에서 위치 값을 알고 있는 앵커 노드의 최소 3개의 위치 값을 알아야 센서의 위치추정을 하였다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 센서 노드를 부착하고 계속적으로 움직이는 노드들의 위치를 추정하는 위치인식 알고리즘들을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 Matlab을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 시뮬레이션한 결과는 제안한 기법이 다른 기법 (MCL, DV-distance)들 보다 우수함을 보여주었다.

This paper describes the development of a circularly polarized microstrip antenna, as a part of the Circularly Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar (CP-SAR) sensor which is currently under developed at the Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (MRSL) in Chiba University. CP-SAR is a new type of sensor developed for the purpose of remote sensing. With this sensor, lower-noise data/image will be obtained due to the absence of depolarization problems from propagation encounter in linearly polarized synthetic aperture radar. As well the data/images obtained will be investigated as the Axial Ratio Image (ARI), which is a new data that hopefully will reveal unique various backscattering characteristics. The sensor will be mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which will be aimed for fundamental research and applications. The microstrip antenna works in the frequency of 1.27 GHz (L-Band). The microstrip antenna utilized the proximity-coupled method of feeding. Initially, the optimization process of the single patch antenna design involving modifying the microstrip line feed to yield a high gain (above 5 dBi) and low return loss (below -10 dB). A minimum of 10 MHz bandwidth is targeted at below 3 dB of Axial Ratio for the circularly polarized antenna. A planar array from the single patch is formed next. Consideration for the array design is the beam radiation pattern in the azimuth and elevation plane which is specified based on the electrical and mechanical constraints of the UAV CP-SAR system. This research will contribute in the field of radar for remote sensing technology. The potential application is for landcover, disaster monitoring, snow cover, and oceanography mapping.

Low power consumption sensor network platform (sensor node) for sensor networking with IEEE 802.15.4 protocol was fabricated. The sensor node used ceramic bar type antenna for increasing RF signal performance and decreasing PCB size occupied by antenna.

This article proposes an ultrahigh frequency band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna for drug runout management that can be used in hospitals. The RFID tag antenna is designed to function as a sensor that alerts drug runout when a drug inside a drip chamber is completely consumed but does not work when a drug remains inside a drop chamber. A previously proposed 915 MHz dipole antenna, is too large to be attached to the drip chamber of a feeding bag. Moreover, the length of the dipole (L) should be increased for conjugate matching with an RFID chip. Therefore, the dipole antenna is downsized so that it can be attached to the drip chamber through a fine meander line structure coupling with a corrugate meander line. A transparent cover is added to enhance the grip force between the designed antenna and the drip chamber and to enable detachment. The dimensions of the completed antenna structure attachable to a drip chamber are 32.59 mm (height) and 13.5 mm (width). The gain reduction due to the decreased antenna length is enhanced. The fabricated antenna shows an average omni-directional read range of 10.65 m on a horizontal plane and has the function of sensing the presence of a drug.

This paper presents the development of a satellite antenna tracking control system using a plane antenna for mobile DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) reception. To track more rapidly in the antenna of this system, this simple tracking system only tracks a direction of azimuth using pendulum in the direction of elevation. This system should track using the AGC(Automatic Gain Control) of the signal level which can receive DAB in spite of the changing of point and movement of the mobile. The directional gyro sensor is attached to solve the delay time in the Proposed tracking algorithm. The effectiveness of both the stabilization and tracking algorithm is demonstrated through experiment measuring AGC signal level. The implemented satellite antenna tracking control system is shown to be excellent for mobile DAB reception.

본 논문에서는 고주파 발진회로의 공진기가 안테나로 동작하는 2.4GHz 대역의 능동 안테나를 이용하여 이동체의 거리를 측정할 수 있는 소형 도플러 센서를 제안하였다. 이동체의 움직임에 비례하여 고주파 발진주파수의 편이를 발생시키며 이를 검출하는 회로를 통해 제안된 구조의 동작을 확인하였다. 설계 제작된 거리 감지 센서는 직경이 30mm, 높이 4.2mm 정도로 매우 작은 원형디스크 형태를 갖으며, 안테나는 2.35GHz에서 약 120도의 빔폭과 전방향 방사특성을 나타내었다. 센서의 감도 측정결과, 1m 떨어져 움직이고 있는 도체판에 대해 약 240mV의 도플러 신호 전압을 얻었고, 자유낙하 실험으로부터 지표위의 5m 지점에서부터 지표면까지 선형적인 전압크기의 증가를 보였다.
