This paper proposes a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) self-resonant wireless power transmission system for transmitting power to multiple receivers and the characteristics are simulated and measured. A 600 mm diameter transmission single loop, a 600 mm diameter helical transmission resonant coil, an external diameter 900 mm planar spiral reception resonant coil, and an $80{\times}60mm^2$ flat plate square coil as a receiver are used to form a wireless power transmission system 600 mm away with the table structure. For optimal characteristics, the wireless power transmission coils are designed by EM simulation and equivalent circuit analysis, and the characteristics are simulated and measured. The variation of the efficiency with distance from the center of the spiral resonant coil is analyzed and the measured efficiency is 57% for one receiver and for the two receivers, the efficiency is 37% for each receiver.

Flat-panel detector (FPD) used in digital radiographic imaging systems was used to perform a quantitative power spectrum evaluation as a result of the thickness change of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a tissue equivalent. As the PMMA thickness increases with the resolution-chart phantom image, the effect of the scattering line increases, indicating that the modulation characteristics decrease, and the image is bright. The results show that the noise of the image increases, and noise-power spectral images are obtained by Fourier transform to confirm by spatial frequency. Thus, it can be verified that the PMMA thickness and noise are proportional through the result of evaluating the change of resolution characteristics and representing the 2D noise-power spectrum as one-dimensional values by evaluating the change of scattering line with MTF as the PMMA thickness increases in the image.

With the miniaturization and digitalization of electronics industry, demand for Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor(MLCC) has increased steadily because of its various applications such as DC Blocking, Decoupling and Filtering etc. The modeling techniques of MLCC has been studied for a long time but most of these modeling method can only be applied after measurement and this has some losses of material, time in both production stage and measurement stage. This paper proposes the modeling method which can predict the frequency characteristics of MLCC from structure data and material data in design stage. The impedance of N-Layer Capacitor can be expressed in differential mathematical form based on coupled transmission line equations. By using this formula, we can predict the impedance of MLCC. As a result, proposed modeling is correspond with simulation, and it takes much less time to obtain the result than the simulation.

It is ideal thing to compensate tissue deficit without skin contamination in curvatured irradiation field of high energy photon beam. The 3-dimensional compensating technique utilizing tissue equivalent materials to ensure an adequate dose distribution and skin sparing effect was described. This compensator was made of paraffin ($70\%$) and stearin wax ($30\%$) compound. The parameters for evaluation of the effect on skin dose in application of compensator were considered in the size of the field, the thickness of the compensator and the source-to-axis distance. The results are as follows; the skin doses were not changed even though application of the compensator, but depended on the field size and the source-to-axis distance, and the skin doses were only slightly changed within $1\%$ relative errors as increasing the thickness of the compensator in these experiments.

The possibility of a noise reduction of piezoelectric single Panels is experimentally studied. Piezoelectric single panel is basically a plate structure on which piezoelectric patch with shunt circuit is mounted. The use of piezoelectric shunt damping can reduce the transmission at resonance frequencies of the panel structure. Piezo-damping is implemented by using a newly proposed tuning method. This method is based on electrical impedance model and maximizing the dissipated energy at the shunt circuit. By measuring the electrical impedance at the piezoelectric patch bonded on a structure, an equivalent electrical model is constructed near the system resonance frequency. Resonant shunt circuit for piezoelectric shunt damping is composed of register and inductor in series, and they are determined by maximizing the dissipated energy throughout the circuit. The transmitted noise reduction performance of single Panel is tested on an acoustic tunnel. The tunnel is a tube with a square cross section and a loud speaker is mounted at one side of the tube as a sound source. Panels are mounted in the middle of the tunnel and the transmitted sound pressure across Panels is measured. By enabling the piezoelectric shunt damping noise reduction is achieved at the resonance frequencies as well. Piezoelectric single panel with piezoelectric shunt damping is a promising technology for noise reduction in a broadband frequency.

In this paper, the planar, compact, and broadband phased array antenna system for IMT-2000 applications has been investigated. Two methods far designing a low-cost and low-complex beam-farming network are proposed. First, a new compact and broadband phase shifter with continuously controlled phase bits is designed by using parallel coupled lines. Second, its equivalent phase delay line is suggested to be capable of replacing the complex phase shifter with a reference phase bit on a phased array antenna. For the purpose of achieving the broadband system, in addition to the broadband phase shifter, a wide-slot antenna with a ground reflector is utilized as an element antenna. Therefore, the phased array antenna system has achieved compact size, broad bandwidth, and wide steering angle, although it has low complexity and low fabrication cost. The 3${\times}$1 phased array antenna system has a compact size of 1.6 λ${\times}$ l.6 λ, which is the sufficient ground plane of the wide-slot antenna. Experimental results present that the S$\_$11/ has less than 15 dB within the band and its radiation patterns on an E-plane have the capability of steering an antenna beam from -29$^{\circ}$to +30$^{\circ}$.

As a method of the transmission efficiency improvement of an aperture smaller than the wavelength, we modified the conventional H-shaped resonant aperture to lower the resonance frequency of resonant aperture, and the transmission efficiency of resonant aperture was improved more than the conventional aperture. The maximum transmission cross section(TCS) calculated using the equivalent circuit tends to be almost equal to the maximum TCS from the small resonant aperture modified to improve the transmission efficiency. The transmission characteristics of resonant apertures can be quantified as the TCS, and the transmission efficiency of that can be compared. The modified resonant aperture has a maximum TCS increased by about 2.87 times from $846mm^2$ to $2,431mm^2$ compared to the H-shaped aperture, and the resonant frequency decreased from 5.06 GHz to 2.92 GHz, and the length-to-wavelength ratio of the aperture was reduced from 0.178 to 0.103.

Aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of 2D ion chamber array as a substitute of the water phantom system in a periodic Linac QA. For the feasibility study, a commercial ion chamber matrix was used as a substitute of the water phantom in the measurement for a routine QA beam properties. The device used in this study was the I'm RT MatriXX (Wellhofer Dosimetrie, Germany). The MatriXX consists of a 1,020 vented ion chamber array, arranged in $24{\times}24\;cm^2$ matrix. Each ion chamber has a volume of $0.08\;cm^3$, spacing of 0.762 cm. We investigated dosimetric parameters such as dose symmetry, energy ($TPR_{20,10}$), and absolute dose for comparing with the water phantom data with a Farmer-type ionization chamber (FC65G, Wellhofer Dosimetrie, Germany). For the MatriXX measurements, we used the white polystyrene phantom (${\rho}:\;1.18\;g/cm^3$) and also considered the intrinsic layer (${\rho}:\;1.06\;g/cm^3$, t: 0.36 cm) of MatriXX to be equivalent to water depth. In the preliminary study of geometrical QA using MatriXX, the rotation axis of collimator and half beam junction test were included and compared with film measurements. Regarding the dosimetrical QA, the MatriXX has shown good agreements within ${\pm}1%$ compared to the water phantom measurements. In the geometrical test, the data from MatriXX were comparable with those from the films. In conclusion, the MatriXX is a good substitute for water phantom system and film measurements. In addition, the results indicate that the MatriXX as a cost-effective novel QA tool to reduce time and personnel power.

Purpose : Irradiation cones by using backscatter electrons are made for the treatment of superficial small lesions of skin, oral cavity, and rectum where a significant dose gradient and maximum surface dose is desired. Methods and Materials : Backscatter electrons are produced from the primary electron beams from the linear accelerators. The design consists of a cylindrical cone that has a thick circular plate of high atomic number medium (Pb or Cu) attached to the distal end, and the plate can be adjusted the reflected angle. Primary electrons strike the metal plate perpendicularly and produce backscatter electrons that reflect through the lateral hole for treatment. Using film and a parallel plate ion chamber, backscatter electron dose characteristics are measured. Results : The depth dose characteristic of the backscatter electron is very similar to that of the hard x-ray beam that is commonly used for the intracavitary and superficial lesions. The basckscatter electron energy is nearly constant and effectively about 1.5 MeV from the clinical megavoltage beams. The backscatter electron dose rate of $35\~85\;cGy/min$ could be achieved from modern accelerators without any modification. and the depth in water of $50\%$ depth dose from backscatter electron located at 6mm for $45^{\circ}$ angled lead scatter. The beam flatness is dependent on the slit size and the depth of treatment, but is satisfactory to treat small lesions. Conclusions : The measured data for backscatter electron energy, depth dose flatness dose rate and absolute dose indicates that the backscatter electrons are suitable for clinical use.
