Abstract:
A concurrent mode antenna system includes an antenna which generates a plurality of operating frequencies that are available at a same time, the antenna comprising a plurality of feed points; and a signal processing circuit which is connected to the feed points and processes radio signals transmitted and received by the antenna. Accordingly, the antenna system can not only provide various wireless services corresponding to the respective operating frequency bands on the single antenna but also miniaturize the antenna system. Furthermore, the antenna system can achieve the insertion loss prevention, the simplified structure, and the lower cost.

Abstract:
A planar small antenna and a small strip radiator are provided which have increased bandwidth. The small strip radiator has a main strip pattern and a plurality of convoluted strip patterns terminating the main strip pattern at each end. The plurality of convoluted strip patterns are arranged in mirror-symmetrical arrangement with reference to the longitudinal axis of the main strip such that one pair of convoluted strip patterns is convoluted clockwise while another pair is convoluted counterclockwise. As a result, an electrically small antenna radiator requires less metal or conductive material than conventional radiators, and also can operate without adversely affecting the radiation characteristics of the antenna.

The small planar antenna includes a dielectric substrate, a metal layer formed on an upper part of the dielectric substrate, a main slot formed in pattern on the metal layer, and a plurality of sub-slots connected to the main slot and winding in a specified direction, and the plurality of sub-slots form a pair of symmetric sub-slot groups around the main slot. According to the small planar antenna, the antenna region that substantially takes part in the radiation is substantially increased, and thus an enhanced bandwidth can be obtained without affecting the radiation pattern, radiation efficiency, polarization purity, etc., of the antenna.
Abstract:
A multifunctional control device and method is used to determine a head channel selecting signal for playback heads of a video tape recorder and for controlling a phase shift direction of a video signal according to a desired reproduction mode. The video tape recorder has four heads, a first pair for use during standard play and a second pair for use during super long play. The heads read out recorded video signals and a first switch is connected to the first pair of heads and a second switch is connected to the second pair of heads for selectively providing outputs to corresponding amplifiers, under control of a servo controller. A third switch is connected to the outputs of the amplifiers for providing outputs under control of a microcomputer. The microcomputer controls the servo controller which in turn controls the speed of a drum motor and a capstan motor. The microcomputer also provides a phase shift direction controlling signal. An output of the servo controller is provided to the microcomputer along with an output of a comparator comparing the outputs of the amplifiers.
Abstract:
A method of forming a pattern includes forming a mask pattern on a substrate; etching the substrate by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and by using the mask pattern as an etch mask; partially removing the mask pattern to expose a portion of an upper surface of the substrate; and etching the exposed portion of the upper surface of the substrate. In the method, when a pattern is formed by DRIE, an upper portion of the pattern does not protrude or scarcely protrudes, and scallops of a sidewall of the pattern are smooth, and thus a conformal material layer may be easily formed on a surface of the pattern.
