본 논문에서는 지상파 디지털방송 수신용 광대역 평면 야기 안테나의 새로운 급전방법에 대해 연구하였다. 다이폴을 급전하는 평형선로인 코플래너 스트립과 불평형 마이크로스트립 선로간의 밸런은 코플래너 스트립 중앙에 삽입된 직사각형 패치이다. 패치의 한 쪽 끝은 코플래너 스트립에 단락핀으로 연결되어 있다. 안테나의 여러 가지 파라미터들과 밸런이 안테나 특성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 제안된 구조의 안테나를 지상파 DTV 방송 주파수대역인 470-806 MHz 대역에서 동작하도록 설계하였다.

본 논문에서는 지상파 디지털 방송 수신용 광대역 평면 야기 안테나의 설계방법에 대해 연구하였다. 다이폴을 급전하는 코플래너 스트립은 스트립에 내장된 마이크로스트립과 연결되고 종단은 단락되어 있다. 급전되는 다이폴에 근접한 영역에 폭이 넓은 직사각형 스트립 도파기를 부가하여 광대역 임피던스 정합과 고주파 대역의 이득특성을 구현하였고, 접지면 반사기를 추가하여 저주파 대역의 이득 특성을 개선하였다. 안테나를 소형화하기 위해 다이폴과 반사기의 모양을 반 보우-타이(V) 형으로 변형하였으며, 여러 가지 파라미터들이 안테나 특성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 제안된 구조의 안테나를 지상파 DTV 주파수 대역인 470-806 MHz 대역에서 동작하도록 설계하였다. 최적화된 안테나를 FR4 기판 상에 제작하고 특성을 실험한 결과 VSWR < 2 인 대역 450-848 MHz, 이득 > 4.1 dBi, 전후방비 > 10.4 dB 등의 우수한 성능을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

The quasi-steady approaches to simulate the wind induced vibrations of inclined cables, especially on the rain-wind induced vibration, have been tried by many researchers. However, the steady wind force coefficients used in those methods include only the effects of water rivulet, but not the axial flow effects. The problem is the direct application of the conventional techniques to the inclined cable aerodynamics. Therefore, in this study, the method to implement the axial flow effects in the quasi-steady theory is considered and its applicability to the inclined cable aerodynamics is investigated. Then, it becomes clear that the perforated splitter plate in the wake of non-yawed circular cylinder can include the effects of axial flow in the steady wind force coefficients for inclined cables to a certain extent. Using the lateral force coefficients measured in this study, the quasi-steady theory may explain the wind induced instabilities of the inclined cables only in the relatively high reduced wind velocity region. When the Scruton number is less than around 40, the high speed vortex-induced vibration occurs around the onset wind velocity region of the galloping, and then, the quasi-steady approach cannot be applied for estimating the response of wind-induced vibration of inclined cable.

In this paper, a step type driver dipole antenna with a tapered balance and unbalance (balun) by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to coplanar strip (CPS) transition is proposed. The proposed antenna consisted of step type driver, a CPW to CPS transition and tapered balun. The proposed antenna is realized the multi and wide resonate frequency band to introduce the step type driver and tapered balun. The step type driver is acted as a director too. This antenna could be more easily designed than the conventional printed quasi-Yagi dipole antenna. The operating frequency bandwidth was 650 [MHz] (2.65~3.3 GHz), 900 [MHz] (4.7~5.6 GHz) under a return-loss criterion of less than 10 dB. The measurements of the proposed antenna exhibited good results in the wideband operating frequency and radiation pattern. The proposed antenna can support wireless communications applications.

This paper proposes a $4{\times}4$ broadband phased array antenna using a Left-Handed Transmission Line (LHTL) based phase shifter. The phased array is constructed with sixteen quasi-Yagi antenna elements and the phase shifters, as well as four power dividers. A key component of the system, the LHTL based phase shifter is able to control a phase delay of incident waves linearly and continuously. The fabricated phased array antenna operate for a frequency range of 800 MHz (1.6 GHz~2.4 GHz). The beam scanning range of the $4{\times}4$ array antenna is ${\pm}27^{\circ}$ horizontally and vertically while the antenna gain is maintained with a variation of ${\pm}1.4dBi$.

The new coherent scatter ionospheric radar has been operating at Gyerong city ($36.18^{\circ}N$, $127.14^{\circ}E$, dip lat $26.7^{\circ}N$), South Korea. This VHF radar is consisted of 24 Yagi antennas having 5 elements and observes the E- and F-region field-aligned irregularities (FAIs) in a single frequency of 40.8 MHz with a peak power of 24 kW. We present the first results of the E- and F-region FAIs over Korea by using the new VHF coherent scatter ionospheric radar. The morphological and echo characteristics are studied in terms of their echo strength, Doppler velocity and also by spectral width values. From the continuous observations from December 2009, we found ionospheric E- and F-region FAIs appeared frequently. The most interesting and striking observations for E region are occurrence of daytime E-region irregularities and strong Quasi-Periodic (QP) echoes at nighttime. And for F region, strong post-sunset and pre-sunrise FAIs appeared frequently. The VHF radar observations over Korea are discussed in the light of current understanding of mid-latitude E- and F-region FAIs.

We present preliminary observations of the field-aligned-irregularities (FAIs) in the E and F regions during the solar minimum (2009 - 2010) using the 40.8 MHz coherent backscatter radar at Daejeon ($36.18^{\circ}N$, $127.14^{\circ}E$, $26.7^{\circ}N$ dip latitude) in South Korea. The radar, which consists of 24 Yagi antennas, observes the FAIs using a single beam with a peak power of 24 kW. The radar has been continuously operated since December 2009. Depending on the manner of occurrence of the backscatter echoes, the E-region echoes are largely divided into two types: quasi-periodic (QP) and continuous echoes. Our observations show that the QP echoes occur frequently above an altitude of 105 km in the post-sunset period and continuous echoes occur preferentially around an altitude of 105 km in the post-sunrise period. QP echoes appear as striated discrete echoes for a period of about 10 - 20 min. The QP-type echoes occur more frequently than the continuous-type echoes do and the echo intensity of the QP type is stronger than that of the continuous type. In the F region, the FAIs occur at night at an altitude interval of 250 - 450 km. As time proceeds, the occurrence height of the FAIs gradually increases until early in the morning and then decreases. The duration of the F-region FAIs is typically a few hours at night, although, in rare cases, FAIs persist throughout the night or appear even after sunrise. We discuss the similarities and differences of the FAIs observed by the Daejeon radar in comparison with other radar observations.
