Abstract

High-Pass (ETC ; Electronic Toll Collection) system is one of the basic elements, which adopts a wireless communication method using 5.8 GHz and can realize a part of ITS (Intelligent Traffic System). On the other hand, communication errors occur frequently in Hi-Pass system due to signal erros, multi-path reflection, and/or system-to-system interferences. To solve these problems, an EM (Electro-Magnetic) wave absorber can be used. To solve these Problems, we fabricated some samples in the different composition ratios of Carbon, Sendust, and CPE, and it was confirmed that the optimum composition ratio of Carbon : Sendust : CPE is 10 : 40 : 50 wt.%. The complex relative permittivity and complex relative permeability were derived by using the measured data. In addition, the optimum design parameters for the absorber were determined by simulation. Then the absorption abilities were calculated by changing the thickness of the EM wave absorbers. As a result, the optimum thickness of the developed EM wave absorber was 2.85 mm with absorption ability over 22.4 dB at 5.8 GHz. Futhermore, the EM wave absorber was fabricated based on the simulated and designed values. The measured values agreed well with the simulated ones. Therefore, it was clearly shown that the developed EM wave absorber in this paper is to be applied in actual situations.

하이패스 시스템은 5.8 GHz대 무선통신방식을 채용하는 기본 요소 중의 하나이며, 지능교통정보시스템(ITS; Intelligent Traffic System)을 실현하는 한 부분이다. 그러나, 하이패스 시스템에서 신호에러, 다중반사, 또는 시스템간 간섭으로 인한 통신 오류는 자주 발생한다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 전자파흡수체가 적용될 수 있으며, 이를 위하여 카본, 센더스트 및 CPE의 조성비가 각각 다른 몇 가지 샘플을 제작하여 최적의 조성비를 탐색하였다. 그 결과 최적 조성비는 Carbon : Sendust : CPE is 10 : 40 : 50 wt.%임이 확인되었다. 복소 비유전율과 복소 비투자율은 측정 데이터를 이용하여 도출하였으며, 흡수체의 최적 설계 파라미터들은 시뮬레이션에 의하여 결정하였다. 나아가서, 전파흡수능을 흡수체의 두께를 변화시키면서 계산한 결과, 설계한 전파흡수체의 흡수능은 5.8 GHz에서 22.4 dB였다. 설계치에 기반을 두고 제작한 흡수체의 특성은 설계/시뮬레이션 값과 잘 일치하므로, 논문에 제안 개발된 하이패스용 전파흡수체는 실제 상황에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
