In this letter, novel antennas with two spiral elements are presented for ultra-wideband application. The original antenna consists of a T-shaped microstrip feed line, two spiral radiating elements, and a ground plane with two circular slots. It measures 30 mm ${\times}$ 40 mm ${\times}$ 1.6 mm. Spiral elements are used to increase the lower bandwidth limit. To further reduce the size of the antenna, the original antenna is cut in half by using the symmetry of the surface current distributions. The proposed antennas feature omnidirectional radiation patterns and good gain flatness.

The miniaturization of an electrostatic precipitator has become a key element in successfully constructing an efficient electrostatic precipitator because of the limited space allowed for installation in a subway tunnel. Therefore, the miniaturization of the rapping system of the electrostatic precipitator has also become important. This research proposes a resonant-type electromagnetic vibration exciter as a vibrating rapper for an electrostatic precipitator. The compact vibrating rapper removes collected dust from the collecting plates without direct impact on those collecting plates. To characterize the dynamic performance of the electromagnetic vibration exciter, finite element analysis was performed using a commercial electromagnetic analysis program, MAXEWLL. Moreover, we analyzed the resonant frequency of an electrostatic precipitator, to which the electromagnetic vibration exciter was applied, by ANSYS. Also, to measure the acceleration generated by the electromagnetic vibration exciter, we manufactured a prototype of the ESP and electromagnetic vibration exciter and measured its acceleration at the resonant frequency.

In this paper, a miniaturized directional coupler utilizing lumped element is proposed as a interdigital capacitor. The traditional miniaturization technique of transmission line realized a utilizing MIM(Metal-Insulator-Metal) capacitor on CPW(Coplanar Waveguide). However, we present a simplified design procedure without additional manufacturing process utilizing interdigital capacitor on microstrip with ease of design. The similar characteristics between the conventional directional coupler with ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line and the miniaturized directional coupler with ${\lambda}/8$ transmission line are validated through simulation and measurement results. Miniaturization rate of total size is about 25% while coupled line is about 60%. As a result, this proposed directional coupler can reduce the size of mobile communication system at 2 GHz.

Recently, the weight reduction and miniaturization of the electronics have placed great emphasis. The miniaturization of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as main component among the electronic components has also become progressed. The use of acid copper plating process for Via-Filling effectively forms interlayer connection in build-up PCBs with high-density interconnections. However, in the case of copper-via filled in a bath, which is greatly dependent on the effects of additives. This paper discusses effects of Cl ion on the filling of PCB vias with electrodeposited copper based on both electrochemical experiment and practical observation of cross sections of vias.

Recently, there are growing demands for permanent magnet(PM) type stepping motor that greater mechanical output, smaller size. Especially, the PM type stepping motor with claw-poles is preferred solution for many small electronics position determination devices since it is small in size, low cost. But, the design of the PM type stepping motor with claw-poles is very difficult because it has a magnetic 3-D shape. This paper deals with a study of the miniaturization of the PM type stepping motor with claw-poles. We investigate the characteristic of the actual model using the equivalent magnetic circuit method and 3-D FE analysis.

In this paper, a multiple coupling inductor with expandable-integrated magnetic structure was proposed to enable miniaturization of external switched mode power supply (SMPS) for a large display. Inductance formula of the proposed inductor structure was derived through magnetic circuit analysis for a simple inductance designing process. The proposed inductor was applied into a 1kW class interleaved bridgeless power factor correction circuit which requires four inductors, and experimental steady state result of the circuit was compared. According to the experimental result, it was found that the proposed multiple coupling inductor shows the electrical characteristics that can replace the conventional separated inductors and is suitable for miniaturization of the SMPS since the circuit configuration is possible with one shared inductor.

본 논문에서는 개방 루프 공진기로 구현된 타원응답 필터의 소형화 및 결합행렬의 유사변환을 통한 설계의 유연성에 관해 연구하였다. 더불어 제안한 방법에 의하여 보다 큰 비대역폭을 갖는 필터를 제시하였다. 제안한 방법의 유효성을 확인하기 위해 개방 루프 공진기를 이용하여 중심 주파수(f$_{c}$) 2.0 GHz에서 0.04의 비대역폭(FBW)을 가지는 4차 타원응답 대역통과 필터를 설계하였다. 개방 루프 공진기의 혼합결합이 일어나는 부분의 선폭을 좁게 함으로써 구현된 두 개의 필터는 일정한 선폭을 가지는 공진기로 구현된 필터에 비해 각각 13%와 25%의 크기 감소 효과를 나타내었다. 또한, 요구되는 결합량을 만족시키기 위한 공진기 사이의 간격이 실현 불가능할 경우 결합행렬의 유사변환을 통하여 기존 구조와 동일한 특성을 나타내는 두 가지 다른 구조를 제시함으로써 필터 설계의 유연성을 보여주었으며 이로 인해 보다 큰 비대역폭(FBW=0.08)을 갖는 필터 설계가 가능함을 나타내었다.
