A theoretical method has been considered for the analysis of an annular slot radiator in a metal-backed cylindrical cavity with coaxial feed. In order to check the validity of the method theoretical values of the input return loss and radiation pattern are compared with experimental values. There is good agreement between them.

The fundamental characteristics of the cavity-backed slot antenna at 2.45 GHz are analyzed with the method of moment for the use of a part of rectenna element. The proposed antenna has a rectangular-narrow slot on the upper surface and a feed post and a parasitic post inside of the cavity. The interior posts are perpendicular to the slot surface in order that the microwave circuits can be attached to the bottom of the cavity. Theoretical results shows that the maximum return loss of 50 dB at the input terminal of the antenna is achieved.

This paper presents the basic characteristics of a cutoff cavity-hacked slot antenna, for the application of spacetenna, with a feed post and a parasitic post inserted parallel to the slot. This type of antenna might effectively excite the slot and forcibly resonate the cavity by adding external reactance to the parasitic post. The Galerkin\`s method of moments is used to analyze integral equations for the unknown electric current on each post and electric field in the slot. The value of external reactance for forced resonance is discussed by deriving a determining equation, the current distribution on each post and the radiation patterns are considered. The analysis is in excellent agreement with the experiment for the radiation patterns.

In this paper, a TRS band(Trunked Radio System: $806{\sim}866\;MHz$) array antenna has a good front-to-back ratio characteristics for the mobile communication base station is proposed. The proposed array antenna is composed of the $5{\times}3$ radiated elements which are the microstrip dipole antennas with the cavity-backed reflector. For the validity of the proposed antenna, the $5{\times}3$ array antenna is designed, fabricated, and its radiation characteristics are measured. As a result of measurements, the antenna gain is over 13.3 dBi and the front-to-back ratio is over 40 dB at the useable frequency band. We confirm that the designed antenna can be used as the mobile communication base station antenna with the excellent back lobe characteristics.

A single-feed composite cavity-backed four-arm curl antenna is presented for use in global positioning systems (GPS). Its primary radiating element is fed by a vacant-quarter printed ring, which helps the antenna directly match to a $50-{\Omega}$ coaxial line and produce a good circular polarization (CP). The cavity-backed reflector is employed to improve the CP radiation characteristics in terms of 3-dB axial ratio (AR) beamwidth and minimum AR value. The optimized design with an overall size of $90{\times}90{\times}25mm^3$ ($0.4725{\lambda}_o{\times}0.4725{\lambda}_o{\times}0.13{\lambda}_o$ at 1,575 MHz) results in a ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}<-10dB$ bandwidth of 8.66% (1,514-1,651 MHz) and a 3-dB AR bandwidth of 2.23% (1,555-1,590 MHz). The antenna radiates a widebeam right-hand circular polarization and operates with a measured radiation efficiency greater than 90% within its impedance matching bandwidth.

This paper describes composite cavity-backed crossed scythe-shaped dipoles with wide-beam circularly polarized (CP) radiation for use in Global Navigation Satellite Systems. Each branch of the dipole arm contains a meander line, with the end shaped like a scythe to achieve a significant reduction in the size of the radiator. For dual-band operation, each dipole arm is divided into two branches of different lengths. The dipoles are crossed through a $90^{\circ}$ phase delay line of a vacant-quarter printed ring to achieve CP radiation. The crossed dipoles are incorporated with a cavity-backed reflector to make the CP radiation unidirectional and to improve the CP radiation beamwidth. The proposed antennas have broad impedance matching and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidths, as well as right-hand CP radiation with a wide-beamwidth and high front-to-back ratio.

This paper presents analysis of a slot array antenna having a low side lobe level and high front-to-back ratio for a repeater system of a satellite DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service. Antennas for this repeater system require a high gain and enough isolation to reduce interferences between signals in system. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress a side lobe level and to increase front-to-back ratio. Unlike a structure 134 by lossy microstrip lines, in this work a single cavity-backed slot antenna array using a single waveguide feed is proposed to obtain the reliability for high power handling and high radiation efficiency. The side lobe level and front-to-back ratio are enhanced with tapered array technique and an optimized vertical reflector. The measured side lobe levels in H- and E-plane are under $-33.24\;\cal{dB}$ and $-35.78\;\cal{dB}$, respectively. The front-to-back ratio over $37.84\;\cal{dB}$, and the peak gain of over $17\;\cal{dBi}$ are measured.

A female slaty-backed gull (Larus schistisagus) died suddenly without apparent clinical signs. At necropsy, well demarcated 7 to 10 mm yellow to white nodules were presented at the lungs and thoracic cavity. Microscopically, multifocal necrotic granulomas were observed in the lung tissue and amorphous acidophilic fibrin were accumulated in the granuloma and normal alveolar space. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining demonstrated numerous pinkish red branched hyphae embedded in the center of these granulomas. According to fungal culture using Sabouraud's dextrose agar plate, Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from lung lesions. This is the first report for pulmonary aspergillosis of wild slaty-backed gull in Korea.

This paper presents the assessment of input impedance of a sectoral cylindrical cavity-backed slot antenna excited by a probe. This antenna is proposed to be an element of array that can be assembled to be the antenna for UHF TV broadcasting system. The integral equations are derived based on boundary conditions of the proposed structure and are expressed in terms of dyadic Green's functions and unknown currents. The unknown current densities are solved by the Method of Moments and the input impedance is derived subsequently. Numerical results show the variation of input impedance, for the specified dimensions of the antenna, as a function of frequency. This result is validated by measurement and found that the result is sufficiently accurate. The result from this study is useful for the design of a sectoral cylindrical cavity-backed slot antenna excited by a probe.
