In EMAT field, spiral RF coils are much more widely used when compared with solenoid coils. In the field of the magnetostrictive strip transducers for long range ultrasonic testing of cylindrical structures, however, solenoid coils has been used. This seems to be attributed to the difficulty in fabricating low frequency (i.e., large size) spiral coils. In this paper, we describe a method for fabricating spiral coil magnetostrictive strip guided wave transducers from FFC (flexible flat cable). It is demonstrated through a comparison experiment that the spiral coil transducer has much superior performance (sensitivity, SNR, and guided wave direction control capability) than the previous transducer with solenoid coils.

The purpose of this study was to improve the technique so as to develop an advanced sensitive RF surface coil for investigating the sensitivities of the multi-spiral surface coils, and we eventually wanted to achieve high resolution of the microscopic MR images and MR spectra. The magnetic field inhomogeneity and shape of a surface coil were statistically estimated by simulation of the magnetic field distribution. On the basis of the experimental results with single, 3 and S-turned spiral RF surface coils, we found that the 3-turned coil had the highest sensitivity. The present study showed that the sensitivity of the RF surface coil was improved by increasing the number of spiral coil turns, and also the SNR of the RF surface coil was dependent upon the number of spiral coil turns. However, we found, rather strikingly, that the sensitivity of excessive turns of the coils was decreased due to the rise of the coil's Impedance. Thus, the present results demonstrated that the sensitivity was not proportional to the number of a spiral RF coil's turns, and the number of spiral coil turns should be optimized for obtaining the highest sensitivity and SNR.

최근 자성 나노 입자를 이용한 온열치료가 주목을 받고 있다. 자성을 띄는 나노 입자를 암 세포에 보내, 교류 자기장을 걸어주어 회전에 의한 마찰손실로 인한 열을 이용하여 암 조직만을 국소 가열하는 원리이다. 본 실험은 유도 자기장을 사용한 자성 나노 파우더의 가열을 목적으로 시행하였다. 나선형 코일위에 세라믹, 유리 등 절연체 원판 위에 자기장이 발생되도록 휴대용 평판형 자기장 발생장치를 제작하였다. 자기장 발생 장치는 평판형 나선형 코일에 특정 주파수를 가진 전원을 인가하여 자기장을 발생시킨다. 평판형 나선형 코일은 내경 40 mm, 외경 140 mm, 2 mm 동선으로 제작하였다. 제작한 자기장 발생장치를 자기장 측정 센서(Hall sensor 등)을 원판 위에 설치하여 거리별 자기장의 크기를 측정하였다. 자기장은 나선형 코일 위 원판 중심에서 최대로 발생되어 중심에서 멀어질수록 크기가 감소하였다. 자기장 발생장치 위에 자성 나노 파우더($Fe_3O_4$와 $CoFe_2O_4$)를 혼합한 용액 시료를 위치시키고 자기 쌍극자 모멘트와 자기장간의 상호작용을 유도한다. 이때 자성 나노 파우더별로 발생하는 열을 열전쌍(TC)이나 Optical fiber를 사용한 Thermometer로 측정하여 비교분석하였다.

Separate and layered transmitting and receiving spiral coil arrays had been used for the optimized individual applications of magnetostrictive type long-range ultrasonic testing. In this study, it was demonstrated that when taking advantages of the spiral coils with the leg width reduced to be half of the previous one and of the empty spaces due to the decrease of leg width, the transmitting and receiving coil array can be arranged to form a single layer structure allowing more easy use and fabrication. Because of the number of turns of the receiving coils that is proportional to their leg width, the sensitivity of the single layer coil array was about half that of the corresponding double layer coil array while it allowed the receiving amplifier to get faster recovery from a saturation due to the main bang echo. It was also found that the two types of coil arrays have almost the same performances in the view points of signal-to-noise ratio and directivity control.

Difficulties in treating chronic prostatitis cause physical pain and mental problems not only for the treating doctor, but also for the patient. Accordingly, the device of the present research was developed to help patients suffering from prostate symptoms due to the vibration effect of shock wave energy caused by thermal and mechanical interaction of the external shock wave. The purpose of this study is to provide an effective treatment means for prostatitis and BPH(Benign prostatic hyperplasia) by devising an extracorporeal shockwave therapy device that effectively applies the heat and vibration effects of concentrated energy by MCU and spiral coil module.

In the case of a general spiral inductor, the orientation of the port is affected as it has an asymmetric structure. In this paper, a single-layered spiral inductor that can have a symmetrical structure is proposed, and the simulation and frequency characteristics are analyzed. The general spiral inductor shows a large difference in frequency-inductance characteristics, frequency-quality factor characteristics, and self-resonant frequency according to the standard of the port, while the proposed symmetric spiral inductor has an inductance of 2.7nH, a quality factor of about 7.86, and a self-resonant frequency of about 14.1GHz without changing the port. Compared to the general spiral inductor having a large difference depending on the port, it was confirmed that the influence on the port direction was small. However, it was confirmed that the mutual inductance decreased compared to the occupied area of the coil, resulting in a low inductance, and the resistance of the coil increased more than the increase in the inductance, and the quality factor was also lowered. In the future, it is expected that inductance and quality factor can be improved through a 2-layer symmetrical spiral structure.

In this study, we propose that the structures of 2-layer spiral planar inductors have a lower spiral coil and via increasing inductance in limited possession are and confirm the frequency characteristics. The structures of inductors have Si thickness of $300{\mu}m$, $SiO_2$ thickness of $7{\mu}m$. The width of Cu coils and the space between segments have $20{\mu}m$, respectively. The number of turns of coils have 3. The performance of spiral planar inductors was simulated to frequency characteristics for inductance, quality-factor, SRF(Self- Resonance Frequency) using HFSS. The 2-layer spiral planar inductors have inductance of 3.2nH over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.8 GHz, quality-factor of maximum 8.2 at 2.5 GHz, SRF of 5.8 GHz. Otherwise, 1-layer spiral planar inductors have inductance of 1.5nH over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.8 GHz, quality-factor of maximum 18 at 8 GHz, SRF of 19.2 GHz.

본 논문에서는 나선형 코일이 장착된 평판코어를 이용한 유비쿼터스 모바일 무선전력전송 (Wireless Power Transfer, WPT) 기술을 제안하였다. 집전장치에 나선형 코일이 부착된 평판코어를 사용함으로써 어떠한 도체가 접근하더라도 코일의 인덕턴스가 거의 변하지 않아 최대전력전달이 가능한 공진 조건을 보장하고, 사용자는 자기장이 일정 유해 수준을 넘지 않는 환경에서 안전하게 모바일기기를 사용할 수 있다. 실험 결과, 평판 코어 앞면에서는 상대적으로 매우 작은 자기장이 발생하였으며, 도체를 집전장치에 접근시킬 경우의 인덕턴스 변화 측정결과 평판 코어를 사용하지 않은 것에 비해 10배 이상 적은 것을 확인하였다.
