This paper presents the reflection and transmission measurements conducted at the 60GHz suitable to provide a high speed wide band service. Mean received power and standard deviation are calculated and used to compare the characteristics of radio wave propagation to the various obstacles between transmitting and receiving antennas at the frequency. The results show that the transmitted signal strength by the steel door and copper plate are about 40dB lower than in free space, those by the rubber plate, glass and styroform are about 3dB lower than in free space. Also, the re(looted signal strengths at the 60 degree grazing angle show that in case by the partition is about 23dB lower, by the surface of a wall is about 6dB lower than by the copper plate. The presented results can be used for the design of 60 GHz picocell communication network that the reflected and transmitted waves affect to the service area.

In this paper, a new equation of electromagnetic wave transmission matrix was proposed to calculate the reflected power and transmitted power for the multi-layered planar lossy structure. The applied human leg was modeled as a four-layer planar structure of skin, fat, muscle and bone. The complex dielectric constant to consider the loss of each of these layers was calculated using the 4-pole cole-cole model parameter. When electromagnetic waves were incident on the skin surface, total reflected and transmitted power, and human body loss were calculated for a frequency band of 0.1 to 20.0 GHz. And for various muscle thicknesses, the power reflected only from the outermost bone and re-radiated from the skin was calculated. It was confirmed that at the muscle thickness of 3.0 mm and the frequency of 4.6 GHz the return loss was -6.13 dB, which was 3.42 dB lower than the average value.

An underwater acoustic (UWA) communication in shallow water is strongly affected by the water surface and the seabed acoustical properties. Every reflected signal to receiver experiences a time-variant scattering in sea surface roughness and a grazing-angle-dependent reflection loss in bottom. Consequently, the performance of UWA communication systems is degraded, and high-speed digital communication is disrupted. If there is a dominant signal path such as a direct path, the received signal is modeled statistically as Rice fading but if not, it is modeled as Rayleigh fading. However, it has been known to be very difficult to reproduce the statistical estimation by real experimental evaluation in the sea. To give an insight for this scattering and grazing-angle-dependent bottom reflection loss effect in UWA communication, authors conduct experiments to quantify these effects. The image is transmitted using binary frequency shift keying (BFSK) modulation. The quality of the received image is shown to be affected by water surface scattering and grazing-angle-dependent bottom reflection loss. The analysis is based on the transmitter to receiver range and the receiver depth dependent image quality and bit error rate (BER). The results show that the received image quality is highly dependent on the transmitter-receiver range and receiver depth which characterizes the channel coherence bandwidth.

Design and optimization of a broadband meander-line twist reflector was performed for X-band application. Based on the equivalent transmission line model, the polarization twist performance was evaluated. Genetic analysis, particles swarm, and hybrid swarm optimizations were employed to obtain the optimized geometrical parameters. The optimized design exhibits low cross-polarization level below - 25 dB between 8.45 and 11.38 GHz. The polarization twist loss was below 0.2 dB. Comparison between computed and simulated results was also discussed.

실리콘은 광센서, 태양전지, 발광다이오드 등 광소자 응용 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 물질이다. 그러나 실리콘의 높은 굴절율(n~3.5)은 표면에서 약 30% 이상의 Fresnel 반사를 발생시켜 소자의 효율을 감소시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 반사손실을 줄이기 위해서는 실리콘 표면에 효율적인 무반사 코팅을 필요로 한다. 기존의 단일 혹은 다중 박막을 이용한 무반사 코팅 기술은 물질간 열팽창계수의 불일치, 접착력 문제, 박막 두께 조절 및 적합한 굴절율을 갖는 물질 선택 어려움 등의 단점을 지니고 있다. 최근, 이러한 무반사 코팅 기술의 대안으로 곤충 눈 구조를 모방한 나노크기의 서브파장 격자구조 (subwavelength gratings, SWGs)에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 SWGs 구조는 공기와 반도체 표면 사이에 점진적, 선형적으로 변화하는 유효굴절율을 갖기 때문에, 광대역 파장영역뿐만 아니라 다양한 각도에서 입사하는 빛에 대해서도 효과적으로 Fresnel 표면 반사를 낮출 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실리콘 기판 표면 위에 효율적인 무반사 특성을 갖는 계층적 SWGs 나노구조를 제작하기 위해, 레이저간섭리소그라피 및 열적응집금속 입자를 이용한 식각 마스크 패터닝 방법과 유도결합플라즈마 식각 공정을 이용하였다. 제작된 무반사 실리콘 SWGs 나노구조의 표면 및 식각 프로파일은 전자주사현미경으로 관찰하였고, 표면 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 샘플 표면의 젖음성을 확인하였다. 제작된 샘플의 광학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 UV-vis-NIR 스펙트로미터와 엘립소미터 측정 시스템들을 이용하였다.

In this paper, we measured the propagation path loss by a ground to air flight communication test at UHF band and analyzed the results. The ground receiving terminal was located at 1,100m above sea level in Cheju Island and the airborne transmit terminal flew at an altitude of 3.5km from 150 to 220km from the ground terminal. In this case, the ground terminal and the airborne terminal are on the Line of Sight. Therefore loss in this communications environment can be predicted based on Free Space Loss. However, in this test, the sea level exists between two terminals, and due to the very small angle of incidence on the reflecting surface due to the long-range communication environment, it is not possible to accurately predict the loss of free space only. Therefore, considering that there are no surrounding obstacles and that a line of sight is secured between the end of two terminals, we applied a plane earth reflection model and a spherical earth reflection model to estimate the propagation path loss and compared with the actual test results. As a result of the comparison, the predicted propagation path loss by a spherical earth reflection model were quite similar to the actual test values.

KIOST-HYU joint acoustics experiment was performed on the western shallow water off the Taean peninsula in the Yellow Sea in May 2013. In this paper, mid-frequency (6~16 kHz) bottom loss data measured in a grazing angle range of $17{\sim}60^{\circ}$ are presented and compared to the predictions obtained using a Rayleigh reflection model. The sediment structure of the experimental site was characterized by multi-layered sediment and the components of the surficial sediment consisted of various types of particles with a mean grain size of $5.9{\phi}$. The model predictions obtained using the mean grain size were not in agreement with the measured bottom loss, and those obtained using the grain size of $4{\phi}$, which was estimated by an inversion process, showed a best fit to the measurements. It would be because the standard deviation of the gain-size distribution of surficial sediment is $4.3{\phi}$, which is much larger than those of other areas around the experimental site. Finally, the model predictions obtained using the geoacoustic parameters estimated from the inversion process for the surficial sediment layer and those corresponding to the mean grain size of $1.3{\phi}$ for lower layer are reasonably agreement with the measured bottom loss data.

A detailed analysis has been carried out of a zigzag traveling wave electro-optic laser modulator usin3 CuCl, KDP Crystal. The inclusion of such practical factors as M/W and optical loss results in an optimum design in which modulator dimensions and bandwidth limitation are uniquely determined by optical and M/W dielectic properties of modulating crystal. The main conclusion of the analysis are: (1) CuCl, KDP may be used to produce 50% modulation over bandwidth of 10(GHz) with less than (watt) of modulating power. (2) The upper modulation frequency limit is set by a cutoff frequency which arises from finite width of optical beam.

A numerical algorithm for estimating precise backscattering coefficients of rice fields is proposed and its accuracy is verified in this paper. After a bunch of rice plants above water surface is modeled with a bunch of randomly oriented lossy dielectric bodies above an impedance surface and the equivalent volume currents of the lossy dielectrics are computed using the moment method. Then, the scattered fields of a rice field with many bunches are computed with a Monte Carlo method, and consequently the backscattering coefficient of the rice field is computed for various incidence angles and polarizations. Finally, the backscattering coefficient of a rice field is measured at 1.85 GHz using an R-band scatterometer system, and these experimental data are used to verify the numerical algorithm proposed in this paper. It is found that the numerical computation results agree well with the measurement data.
