Abstract: A system and a method are provided that are capable of providing map data for supporting a variety of user network environments and selecting data zones freely. A navigation terminal includes a reception unit adapted to receive a file in which map data of a specific zone is stored, from a map provision server; and an execution unit adapted to execute a navigation function on the specific zone using the file. The file is produced by an individual unit with respect to each of geographic areas divided by a mesh unit having a variable size. The size of the mesh unit is decided according to the amount of information included in the geographic area such that the file has an equalized size.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for matching impedance of an antenna by using Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) information is provided. While the impedance of the impedance matching unit is controlled, a region of a Smith chart in which initial total impedance of the impedance matching unit and the antenna is located by using an SWR calculated by an SWR operation unit, and the impedance of the impedance matching unit is controlled according to the determined region, thus correctly matching the impedance of the antenna.

Abstract: An impedance matching circuit is provided. The present impedance matching circuit is able to match impedance using a transformer which is arranged inside a dielectric substrate and arranged to overlap with a bonding pad area and an end of a transmission line, thereby enabling transmitting signals at a desired frequency with a minimum insertion loss without using a very thin transmission line which is several to dozens of ?m wide or specially designed antennas in order to compensate for inductance. Thus, the present impedance matching circuit may be applied to various millimeter bands.

Abstract: An electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) pattern structure includes a nonconductive substrate and a pattern assembly formed on the substrate. The EBG pattern structure also includes regularly arranged closed-loop patterns and open-loop patterns, both of which are made of a conductive material. The EBG pattern structure can be used to manufacture new security products by applying its frequency characteristics to securities or IDs and variously used in security technologies for preventing forgery and alteration because various security codes can be created by adjusting the variables of its EBG pattern.

Abstract: In an apparatus for recognizing a security code having an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) pattern which uses reflection and transmission characteristics of the EBG pattern, a voltage controlled oscillator generates a signal to a power divider, which divides the power of the signal into halves, and outputs a first signal through a waveguide to be incident on the EBG pattern. The waveguide receives a signal reflected from the EBG pattern and outputs the reflected signal to a phase detector. A circulator outputs the second signal to the phase detector, which detects the phase difference between the reflected signal and the second signal, and outputs phase difference data to a data control unit, which determines whether the security code having the EBG pattern is recognized using the phase difference data. In an alternate embodiment, the voltage control oscillator is controlled to sequentially generate signals using power difference data.

The EBG pattern structure is advantageous in that it can be used to manufacture new security products by applying its frequency characteristics to securities or IDs and in that it can be variously used in security technologies for preventing forgery and alteration because various security codes can be created by adjusting the variables of its EBG pattern.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is the structure of a Square Quadrifilar Helical antenna (S-QHA). The structure of the S-QHA includes a square column, four radiation elements, and a feed network. The four radiation elements are formed on the square column. The feed network is disposed at the top or bottom of the square column, and feeds signals to the radiation elements at a phase difference of 90 degrees in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. As a result, the S-QHA according to the present invention can receive circularly polarized signals.
