To study the electromagnetic field distribution in air-sea two-layer problem for a 10 kHz band undersea location estimation, a 100 MHz band transmitter-receiver experimental setup is constructed in our laboratory using the pseudo-scale model and the electromagnetic field distribution is measured. The received power distribution when the transmitting antenna is placed on the liquid surface and the receiving antenna is scanned underwater is a good agreement with FDTD simulation results, confirming that the measurement is possible even in locations with low receiving strength, including lateral waves.

To ensure the success of upcoming car-to-car networks, the in-vehicle antenna system must adapt to the variation of the radio-wave propagation environment depending on the dynamic motion of a car. In this study, we present a 4×4 multiple-input multiple-output antenna that utilizes not only the circular phased array technology but also the weight-polarization control function. The experimental results reveal that the directivity of the proposed antenna adjusts to the characteristics of the incident wave by the optimized weight function.

By combining the characteristics of a reflectarray antenna to change the beam direction according to the frequency and polarization, conventional multi-spot and multi-scanning beams using a single reflector have been proposed. We have previously shown the design method and analysis results of scanning spot beams whose beam direction is changed by frequency in the elevation direction and by polarization in the Azimuth direction. In this study, the measurement results of the scanning spot beam reflectarray antenna fabricated from the designed values are presented.

This study aims to develop a method to evaluate the electromagnetic interference (EMI) characteristics of implantable medical devices (implantable cardiac pacemakers/implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) with respect to various radio wave-using devices using electromagnetic field simulation. In this paper, the relationship between EMI characteristics of implantable medical devices and RF frequencies under near-field and far-field exposure conditions was investigated through numerical simulations. As a numerical model, an implantable pacemaker embedded in a human phantom used in the EMI evaluation test is prepared, and the AIMD-EMI characteristics near the transmitter in the 4G and 5G Sub6 frequency bands are analyzed by electromagnetic field simulation based on the finite element method.

In a wireless environment where radio waves are transmitted and received, the location and size of the communication area and dead zone may change depending on the passage of time and various conditions. To improve the wireless area, using a meta-surface reflector which reflect the radio waves to the coverage hole is considered. In this paper, a 2.45GHz band meta-surface reflector was proposed. The reflection angle of this reflector can be dynamically controlled by designing a unit cell configuration which change the reflection phase.

Since information devices using high-frequency bands for 5G are expected to be widely used, there is an assessment method focusing on the specific absorption rate (SAR) as a conformity assessment method to ensure the safety of electromagnetic waves to the human body. This conformity assessment should be extended to frequencies below 6 GHz, referred to as sub-6 of 5G. In this paper, we experimentally confirm that the near-field gain of a dipole antenna can be estimated in pure water at 6 GHz for the purpose of realizing SAR probe calibration. Furthermore, these experimental results are compared with numerical results using the method of moments developed by Richmond.

A very compact and small, printed notebook antenna using an in-series chip inductor for achieving miniaturization for 2.4/5 and 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E operation is introduced. The antenna consists of a coupling strip and a parasitic strip embedded with a chip inductor. The coupling strip can produce a wideband, covering the 5 GHz (5150–5825 MHz) and the new 6 GHz (5925–7125 MHz) bands. The inductor largely decreases the required resonant path for the 2.4 GHz (2400–2484 MHz) band. The design occupies a footprint of 5 mm × 10 mm (0.04-λ ×0.08-λ at 2.4 GHz), which may be the smallest notebook antennas in the recent published works. In addition, compared with the previous study in [1], the size reduction reaches more than 30% in this work with the in-series inductor.

This paper presents reduction of sampling points in Over the Air (OTA) test. Recently, due to the miniaturization and sophistication, OTA test conduct. It is problematic to take a lot of measurement time because of entirely spherical scanning. This paper clarifies suitable far field measurement method to reduce sampling points by introducing three far field measurement methods such as equi-angle method, modified equi-angle method and generalized spiral method. The Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) values of the equi-angle method and modified equi-angle method are changed by sampling parameters and antenna patterns. However, the values of generalized spiral method are constant regardless of selected angle, and it is confirmed that around 100 points are sufficient for estimating the TRP and EIRP.
