  • This paper presents a polarization switching antenna integrated with silicon RF MEMS SPDT switches in the form of a package. A low-loss quartz substrate made of SoQ (silicon-on-quartz) bonding is used as a dielectric material of the patch antenna, as well as a packaging lid substrate of RF MEMS switches. The packaging/antenna substrate is bonded with the bottom substrate including feeding lines and RF MEMS switches by BCB adhesive bonding, and RF energy is transmitted from signal lines to antenna by slot coupling. Through this approach, fabrication complexity and degradation of RF performances of the antenna due to the parasitic effects, which are all caused from the packaging methods, can be reduced. This structure is expected to be used as a platform for reconfigurable antennas with RF MEMS tunable components. A linear polarization switching antenna operating at 19 GHz is manufactured based on the proposed method, and the fabrication process is carefully described. The s-parameters of the fabricated antenna at each state are measured to evaluate the antenna performance.

  • This paper describes a wide bandwidth RFID tag antenna design for protection of connection part between chip and antenna. A proposed tag antenna size, a resonant frequency and bandwidth are $53{\times}10{\times}1\;mm$, 900 MHz and 800 MHz($500{\sim}1,300\;MHz$) at -10 dB below, respectively. The dielectric materials with different relative permittivity such as polyethylene, glass and silicon were applied for protection of connection part between the proposed antenna and chip on the way of whole and partial housing. The measured return loss and radiation pattern agreed well with the calculation results. The read range of the proposed tag antenna without any housing and of tag antenna with housing covered over all by silicon with 3 mm thickness were observed about 5 m and 4 m, respectively.

  • This study is a study that designed in-building antennas with improved orientation to improve 5G quality in buildings as 5G is stabilized and more and more traffic is expected to occur in buildings. Instead of applying the forward arrangement of antenna elements, which is the Yagi antenna propagation orientation principle, the antenna design method of vertical arrangement applied to the base station antenna was proposed, and it was confirmed through experiments that antenna orientation increased. According to the experimental results, the directivity did not increase significantly within 10m of the separation distance from the antenna, but the directivity increased by about 3dB at the distance separated by more than 10m. Considering that the wireless environment in the building has various variables such as structure of internal structure, materials such as concrete and glass, closed space, and walls, it is expected that antenna with improved orientation can expand the scope of 5G quality improvement and maintain stable communication service in the building.

  • Communication flow is changing rapidly. Recently, a range of wearable devices such as wearable glasses and wearable watch, have been launched. These kinds of wearable devices help people to live a more comfortable life. Wearable devices most have an antenna for wireless communication. This paper reports a transparent antenna that is made of an optically transparent material for wearable glasses. Transparent antenna can be applied to smart windows and will not disturb the view of user. IZTO/Ag/IZTO multilayer electrode has higher electrical and optical properties. This antenna is available because of its good electrical properties. This study measured the performance of the proposed transparent antenna, which is made of a multilayer electrode, applied to a lens. The proposed antenna was simulated with several substrates. The antenna impedance was matched with length and width of the antenna. The antenna's conductivity and transparency was measured using a HMS-3000 and UV-spectrometer. A 40nm thick Ag single layer antenna was fabricated on a flexible polyimide substrate for comparing the antenna performances. The fabricated antenna is useable at a frequency of 2.4-2.5GHz, which is suitable for Wifi communications and has peak gain of 2.89dBi and an efficiency of 34%.

  • Microring/nanoring structure has high applicability for nano-antenna and biosensor thanks to its superior optical characteristics. Although coiling nanowires manufactured using immiscible emulsion droplets have an advantage in mass production, this process also forms nanowire bundles. In this study, we solved the nanowire bundle problem by size-selective sorting of the emulsion droplets in a pinched flow fractionation microchannel. Utilizing silver nanowires and immiscible emsulsion droplets, we investigated the correlation between the size of ring droplets and bundle droplet. We visualized the sorting process for glass particles and microring-containing emulsion droplets. Droplets were sorted based on their size, and the ratio of bundle droplets in solution decreased. This droplet-sorting strategy has potential to help the printing and coating process for manufacturing of ring structure patterns and developing of functional materials.

  • On the basis of the radiotracer technology and the related equipments which have been developed for its industrial application through the nuclear long-term research project, a radiotracer study on sediment transport was carried out as a part of the development of the radiotracer technology for a coastal environment. The crystalline material doped with iridium having a similar composition and specific gravity as those of the bedload sand collected from the research area was produced by the oxide-route method. A radioisotope container was specially designed to inject the radiotracer from 1 m above the sea bedload without radioactive contamination during the transport from the nuclear reactor at KAERI. The position data from the DGPS and the radiation measurement data were collected concurrently and stored by means of the application software programmed with the LabVIEW of the National Instrument. The position data was reprocessed to represent the real position of the radiation probe under water and not that of the DGPS antenna on board. The time dependency of the spatial distribution of the sediment was studied in the area through three tracking measurements after the iridium glass was injected. This trial application showed the potential of the radiotracer technology as an important role for maintaining and developing the coastal environment in the future.

  • This study measured and analyzed the propagation characteristics at frequencies 6, 10, and 17 GHz to discover the new propagation demands in a semi-basement indoor corridor environment for meeting the 4th industrial revolution requirements. The measured indoor environment is a straight corridor consisting of three lecture rooms and glass windows on the outside. The measurement scenario development and measurement system were constructed to match this environment. The transmitting antenna was fixed, and the frequency domain and time domain propagation characteristics were measured and analyzed in the line-of-sight environment based on the distance of the receiving antenna location. In the frequency domain, reliability was determined by the parameters of the floating intercept (FI) path loss model and an R-squared value of 0.5 or more. In the time domain, the root mean square (RMS) delay spread and the cumulative probability of K-factor were used to determine that 6 GHz had high propagation power and 17 GHz had low propagation power. These research results will be effective in providing ultra-connection and ultra-delay artificial intelligence services for WIFI 6, 5G, and future systems in a semi-basement indoor corridor environment.
