In this letter, a new dual-port Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna is introduced which has two independent signal feeding ports in a single antenna element to achieve smaller antenna volumes for the 5G mobile applications. The dual-port structure is implemented by adding a cross coupled semi-loop (CCSL) antenna as the secondary radiator to the ground short of inverted-F antenna (IFA). It is found that the port to port isolation is not deteriorated when an IFA and CCSL is combined to form a dual-port structure. The isolation property of the proposed antenna is compared with a polarization diversity based dual-port antenna proposed in the literature [9]. The operating frequency range is 3.3-4.0 GHz which is suitable for places where $4{\times}4$ MIMO systems are supposed to be deployed such as in China, EU, Korea and Japan at the band ${\times}$ (3.3 - 3.8GHz. The measured 6-dB impedance bandwidths of the proposed antennas are larger than 700 MHz with isolation between the feeding ports higher than 18 dB [1-2]. The simulation and measurement results show that the proposed antenna concept is a very promising alternative for 5G mobile applications.

A small dual-polarized base station antenna with a simple isolation patch is presented. A high isolation is achieved when using a shorted metallic isolation patch. The experimental results indicate that the measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 1.72 GHz to 1.89 GHz for small cell systems and that the isolation is more than 30 dB.

In this paper, we propose a dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with high isolation for WLAN applications (2.45 GHz and 5.2 GHz). The proposed antenna is composed of a mobile communication terminal board, eight radiators, a coaxial feed line, and slots for isolation. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidths are 10.1% (2.35 GHz to 2.6 GHz) and 3.85% (5.1 GHz to 5.3 GHz) at each frequency band. The proposed four-element MIMO antenna has an isolation of better than 35 dB at 2.45 GHz and 45 dB at 5.2 GHz between each element. The antenna gain is 3.2 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 4.2 dBi at 5.2 GHz.

In this paper, a sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer is suggested to improve the isolation characteristic between LO and RF ports of an unbalanced mixer. The mixer was designed by using single-gate FET cascode structure and driven by the second harmonic component of LO signal. A dual-gate FET mixer has good isolation characteristic since RF and LO signals are injected into gatel and gate2, respectively. In addition, the isolation characteristic of a sub-harmonic mixer is better than that of a fundamental mixer due to the large frequency separation between the LO and RF frequencies. As RF power was -30 ㏈m and LO power was 0 ㏈m, the designed mixer yielded the -47.17 ㏈m LO-to-RF leakage power level, 10 ㏈ conversion gain, -2.5 ㏈m OIP3, -12.5 ㏈m IIP3 and -1 ㏈m 1 ㏈ gain compression point. Since the LO-to-RF leakage power level of the designed mixer is as good as that of a double-balanced mixer, the sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer can be utilized instead.

Pneumatic vibration isolator typically consisting of dual-chamber pneumatic springs and a rigid table are widely employed for proper operation of precision instruments such as optical devices or nano-scale equipments owing to their low stiffness- and high damping-characteristics. As environmental vibration regulations for precision instruments become more stringent, it is required to improve further the isolation performance. In order to facilitate their design optimization or active control, a more accurate mathematical model or complex stiffness is needed. Experimental results we obtained rigorously for a dual-chamber pneumatic spring exhibit significantly amplitude dependent behavior, which cannot be described by linear models in earlier researches. In this paper, an improvement for the complex stiffness model is presented by taking two major considerations. One is to consider the amplitude dependent complex stiffness of diaphragm necessarily employed for prevention of air leakage. The other is to employ a nonlinear model for the air flow in capillary tube connecting the two pneumatic chambers. The proposed amplitude-dependent complex stiffness model which reflects dependency on both frequency and excitation amplitude is shown to be very valid by comparison with the experimental measurements. Such an accurate nonlinear model for the dual-chamber pneumatic springs would contribute to more effective design or control of vibration isolation systems.

Base isolation is a widely used technique for the seismic control of structures as it reduces the structural seismic demand. However, displacement of the isolation layer is not economically feasible in congested urban areas. To resolve the issue, an innovative system is proposed here to isolate both horizontally at the base and vertically in the upper portion of the structure. A simplified linear three degree-of-freedom (3DOF) model of the system that considers the mass and stiffness ratios of the substructure has been introduced and analyzed in MATLAB by spectrum analysis. The 3DOF model results revealed that, when the period of the soft substructure reaches 2.5 times that of the stiff substructure, the isolation and the lower substructure responses decrease by 65% and 51%, respectively. Time-history analysis of a MDOF system at three frequency ratios under a wide range of ground motions indicated that, at the expense of accepting a certain large drift by the soft substructure in the upper portion of the structure, base isolation displacement can be decreased by 10%.

본 논문에서는 배열 개별소자의 격리도 특성과 설계 복잡도 개선을 위한 단층 간접급전구조 이중대역 GPS 안테나를 제안한다. 제안된 안테나는 중앙의 급전패치와 외곽의 이중루프로 구성되며, 이중루프는 급전패치로부터 생성된 전자기장에 의해 전류가 유기된다. 제안된 급전구조는 이중루프 사이에 강한 근접장을 밀집시키므로 소형 배열안테나의 소자간 격리도 특성을 개선할 수 있다. 이러한 특성을 확인하기 위해 일반적인 상용 안테나와 자계분포 및 격리도 특성을 비교하였으며, 근접영역에서의 자계세기 및 격리도가 상용 안테나에 비해 각각 평균 3 dB, 2 dB 개선되어 소형 CRPA 배열안테나에 적합함을 확인하였다.
