Ultra-wideband antennas are desired for several applications including satellite communications, radars, remote sensing system, telescopes, and microwave imaging systems. There are many types of wideband antenna structures, but the tapered slot Vivaldi antenna is advantageous in terms of cost, weight, scan angle capabilities, end-fire radiation, and ease of feeding and system integration. In this paper, a modified antipodal Vivaldi antenna is presented. A novel AVA with H-shaped parasitic patches has the capacity to improve the radiation characteristics in the whole operation frequencies. A prototype of the modified antenna with RT/duroid 5880 substrate of a relative dielectric constant (${\epsilon}_r$) of 2.2, and a thickness of 31mil is fabricated and experimentally studied as well. It measures a ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$ of less than -10dB and gain of 9-12dBi over 7.8-52.5GHz which shows reasonable agreement with the simulated one.

Volume phase diffraction grating is formed in 5${mu}m$ Agfa 8E75 photographic emulsion film using He-Ne laser. It is dependent on the chemical processing rather than materials themselves that high diffraction efficiency can obtained in silver halide emulsions. With potassium dichromate bleach and alcohol drying, overall efficiency of 71% (81% after allowing for reflection at the two surfaces) has been achieved at an exposure of 180${mu}J/cm^2.$ Dichromate cross-linkage and air void by rapid dehydration increase refractive index modulation depth. The grating is swollen, which is newly identified by Scanning Electronic Microscope(SEM) photography, and it causes on-Bragg at larger angle than the recording angle. It is pointed out that controlling the emulsion thickness has an important role as a potential source for high diffraction efficiency.

In this paper, when a E-polarized plane wave is incident on the grating consisting of tapered resistive strips, electromagnetic scattering is analyzed using the method of moments(MoM). The induced current density of each resistive strip in a grounded double dielectric layer is expected to blow up at both edges. To satisfy this, the induced surface current density is expanded in a series of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. The scattered electromagnetic fields are expanded in a series of Floquet mode functions. The boundary conditions are applied to obtain the unknown current coefficients. According to the variation of the involving parameters such as strip width and spacing and angle of the incident field, numerical simulations are performed by applying the Fourier-Galerkin moment method. The numerical results of the normalized reflected power for resistive strips case for several resistivities are obtained.

우리는 기본 진공 $10^{-11}\;Torr$의 UHV surface magneto-optical Kerr effect (SMOKE) 시스템을 quarter-wave plate를 사용하였던 기존의 방식에서 PEM (photo elastic modulator)를 사용하는 방식으로 장비의 기능을 향상시켰다. 기존 quarter-wave plate를 사용하는 방식의 경우 Kerr signal을 구하기 위해 편광자와 검광자를 수직으로 두어 광량을 0으로 만들어야 한다. 그러나 금속의 경우 대부분 가시광선 영역에서 큰 반사율 때문에 측정되는 광량이 편광자와 검광자를 거치면서 넓은 각도 범위에서 최소값을 갖기 때문에 정확한 영점을 잡는 데 한계가 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여 우리는 PEM을 이용한 위상변조방식을 사용하였다. 위상변조 방식은 Kerr signal과 관계된 양을 PEM을 이용하여 50 kH ($1{\omega}$)와 100 kH ($2{\omega}$)의 진동 주파수에 공조시키고 이를 Lock-in-amplifier를 사용하여 탐지하기 때문에 좋은 sensitivity를 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 Kerr ellipticity와 Kerr rotation을 동시에 측정할 수 있다. 자화에 필요한 전자석은 순철로 된 코어를 제작하여 챔버에 부착하였고 10 A에서 최대 7 kOe의 고자장을 얻을 수 있어 포화자화가 큰 물질에 대해서도 필요한 자성영역까지 측정이 가능하게 하였다. 또 저온 측정을 위해 SMOKE 샘플 홀더를 개조하여 액체 질소를 이용하여 100 K 근방의 영역에서 온도를 제어할 수 있도록 저온 장치를 구성하였다. 여기에서 샘플 근처에 위차한 e-beam heater가 장착된 고온 부분과 액체 질소 냉각, 온도감지를 위한 센서, cartridge heater가 장착된 저온 부분을 sapphire plate로 분리하여 저온용 cartridge heater의 파손을 최소화하였다. 이러한 SMOKE 시스템을 구성한 후에 우리는 Fe/Cr(001)시스템의 자성특성에 대해 연구하였다. Fe/Cr 시스템은 Fe/Cr/Fe의 exchange coupling이나 bulk Cr의 복잡한 자성 특성 때문에 주목을 받아왔다. 이 연구에서 우리는 저온 및 상온에서 Cr(001) 단결정 위에 증착된 Fe 박막의 자성 특성을 보고한다.

In this paper, we study a method of designing a reflector for LED light sources with an asymmetric light distribution. In a sports game, lighting with a symmetric distribution makes the athlete and spectators look directly at the light source, so it can cause glare. We derive the optimal tilt angle and design a reflector with asymmetric light distribution to solve these problems. Afterward, performance is analyzed according to the tennis-court lighting standard, and is confirmed to meet the class 1 European standard.

The exposure system is a device that transfers a circuit pattern to a desired location. To display patterns on a substrate without deforming the optical characteristics, the characteristics of the optical exposure system are very important. Therefore, to form a microcircuit pattern, a small divergence angle should impinge on the irradiation area. Also, since the light from the source must react uniformly with the photosensitizer, it must have high luminance efficiency and uniformity of illumination. In this paper a parabolic reflector and an aspherical lens were designed to solve the problem of narrow-angle implementation, and it was confirmed by simulation analysis after their arrangement that the beam angle, uniformity, and maximum illuminance satisfied the target performance.

Simulation of the strong clutter occurring from the airborne radar is essential in the efficient development and performance evaluation of the aircraft radar system. If the efficient simulation of the clutter can be successful, algorithms can be proved and analyzed and also the performance evaluation is possible in the laboratory environment. Therefore, development and implementation of the airborne radar system can be achieved very economically in the effective way. However, the clutter simulation procedure is very difficult and tedious since the clutter environment changes in numerous ways as it depends on the flight path, direction of antenna beam, reflectivity of the surface, etc.. Thus, in this paper, the general Doppler spectrum model is suggested for efficient simulation of the various clutter environment. Also, it is shown that the various type of clutter in time domain can be generated easily by changing and adjustment of parameters in the general Doppler spectrum model.

The equipment for marine IoT service have to overcome the effect of seawater. Furthermore, the free floating transmitter in seawater will be less affected by the seawater environment. The results of the design and fabrication of antenna, which is embedded in buoy, are shown in this research. The proposed antenna is used to supervise the states of fishing gears in monitoring system for real-name system of electric fishing gear. The selected frequency band of the proposed antenna is 920 MHz, and PCB pattern type is selected for subminiature and light weight. It is confirmed that RF characteristics is more degraded, however, the radiation is gradually upward as the contact surface of buoy with seawater is more broaden through the simulation results. That is, the RF performance of the proposed antenna is more deteriorated but beam radiation characteristics is more suited the marine IoT, the seawater effect is more increased. It is expected that the proposed antenna will contribute the implementation of IoT network based on low power wide area (LPWA) when the degradation of RF performance will be settled.

The purpose of this study is to progress the limitations and disadvantages of existing safety clothing by applying high technology to current safety clothing that is produced and distributed only with fluorescent fabrics and retroreflective materials. Therefore, the industrial suspender-type safety belt and engineering technology are introduced, designed, and fabricated to help save a life in an emergency. First, the suspender-type safety belt to be developed is designed to emit light by LED attached to the film, and the body of the belt-wearer is recognized from a distance through retroreflection from the flashing LED. It aims to support people's safety by preventing accidents during roadside work, rescue activities, and sports activities at night. Second, with the development of advanced devices when the user is in an unconscious state due to distress or falls into an unconscious state due to distress or accident, the tilt sensor of the control unit attached to the belt automatically detects the angle of the human body and generates light and sound. It is intended to further enhance the utilization by mounting a sensing and signaling device that generates a distress signal and shaping it in the form of a belt attached to a vest that can be easily detached from the outside of the garment. When the wearer falls due to an accident, the tilt sensor of this belt detects the angle change and then the controller generates a high-frequency sound and repeated LED blinking signals at the same time. In the case of conventional safety vests, it is almost impossible to detect that the person is wearing a vest when there is no ambient light, but in case of the safety belts in this study, the sound and light signals of the safety belt enable us to find the wearer within 100 meters even when there is no ambient light.

The polarimetric backscattering coefficients of a wet-land rice field which is an experimental plot belong to National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology in Suwon are measured using ground-based polarimetric scatterometers at 1.8 and 5.3 GHz throughout a growth year from transplanting period to harvest period (May to October in 2006). The polarimetric scatterometers consist of a vector network analyzer with time-gating function and polarimetric antenna set, and are well calibrated to get VV-, HV-, VH-, HH-polarized backscattering coefficients from the measurements, based on single target calibration technique using a trihedral corner reflector. The polarimetric backscattering coefficients are measured at $30^{\circ},\;40^{\circ},\;50^{\circ}\;and\;60^{\circ}$ with 30 independent samples for each incidence angle at each frequency. In the measurement periods the ground truth data including fresh and dry biomass, plant height, stem density, leaf area, specific leaf area, and moisture contents are also collected for each measurement. The temporal variations of the measured backscattering coefficients as well as the measured plant height, LAI (leaf area index) and biomass are analyzed. Then, the measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients are compared with the rice growth parameters. The measured plant height increases monotonically while the measured LAI increases only till the ripening period and decreases after the ripening period. The measured backscattering coefficientsare fitted with polynomial expressions as functions of growth age, plant LAI and plant height for each polarization, frequency, and incidence angle. As the incidence angle is bigger, correlations of L band signature to the rice growth was higher than that of C band signatures. It is found that the HH-polarized backscattering coefficients are more sensitive than the VV-polarized backscattering coefficients to growth age and other input parameters. It is necessary to divide the data according to the growth period which shows the qualitative changes of growth such as panicale initiation, flowering or heading to derive functions to estimate rice growth.
