Generally, carriers on which microwave circuits are mounted are used as building blocks of MIC module for the convenience of MIC assembly and the unit module characterization. However the interconnection of the microstrip-based carriers by wire bonding causes the serious problem of mismatch and results in the higher insertion loss as frequency becomes higher. The gap and the depth between carriers are considered as the main reason of the degradation. The CPW can be the solution to cope with such problem considering its field are dominantly concentrated on the top plane. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate the CBFGCPW to microstrip transition with the low insertion loss that can be applied without causing the MIC carrier interconnection problem.

To transmit video bit stream over low bandwidth such as wireless channel, high compression algorithm like H.264 codec is exploited. In transmitting high compressed video bit-stream over low bandwidth, packet loss causes severe degradation in image quality. In this paper, a new algorithm for recovery of missing or erroneous motion vector is proposed. Considering that the missing or erroneous motion vectors in blocks are closely correlated with those of neighboring blocks. Motion vector of neighboring blocks are clustered according to average linkage algorithm clustering and a representative value for each cluster is determined to obtain the candidate motion vector sets. As a result, simulation results show that the proposed method dramatically improves processing time compared to existing H.264/AVC. Also the proposed method is similar to existing H.264/AVC in terms of visual quality.

In this study, waveguide-to-CPW transitions were developed for integrating waveguide and MMIC at V-band. The finite element method for numerical analysis and repeated experiments were performed to propose two types of waveguide-to-CPW transition. Using quartz substrate, proposed structures were designed for low loss as well as broadband characteristics. These waveguide-to-CPW transitions showed a good reliability and insensitivity to matching precision, and they could be fabricated with lower cost than that of the conventional connectors. Proposed two types of the structure showed insertion loss less than 1.9 dB and return loss better than 14 dB from 53 GHz to 60 GHz except unwanted resonance region, respectively.

The coaxial line impedance transformer that performs impedance conversion using the coupling of two or more coaxial lines of the same length is often used for impedance matching in the low frequency region due to many advantages. This paper measures the phase and magnitude characteristics of each coaxial line in a 4:1 coaxial line impedance transformer using two 100mm coaxial lines. This experiment shows that it is more effective to make the length of the auxiliary coaxial line shorter than the main coaxial line by about 5 mm in order to realize a low loss impedance transformer. In addition, it measures the transmission characteristics by directly connecting a 4:1 impedance transformer and a 1:4 impedance transformer. This experiment shows that it is effective to connect a 1pF capacitor between the ground and the outer conductor input point of the main coaxial line in order to increase the operating frequency range.

In this paper, dual axes waveguide rotary joint, which operates at high power and has low loss characteristic, is designed and fabricated for a Ka-band millimeter-wave small radar. Its electrical performance is verified through the S-parameter at room temperature, high power and operation temperature test. Rotary joint functionally consists of the mode converter transforming rectangular waveguide into circular waveguide and the choke at the rotation part. At the configuration design, linking a fixed transmitter to an antenna rotating dual axes electrically for minimum loss and light weight body are considered. In Fc(center frequency)${\pm}500MHz$, the designed rotary joint has VSWR 1.5:1 below return loss, -2.0 dB above insertion loss. It is found that rotary joint characteristics is similar to design results.

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a multi-chip microelectrofluidic bench, achieving both electrical and fluidic interconnections with a simple, low-loss and low-temperature electrofluidic interconnection method. We design 4-chip microelectrofluidic bench, having three electrical pads and two fluidic I/O ports. Each device chip, having three electrical interconnections and a pair of two fluidic I/O interconnections, can be assembled to the microelectofluidic bench with electrical and fluidic interconnections. In the fluidic and electrical characterization, we measure the average pressure drop of $13.6{\sim}125.4$ Pa/mm with the nonlinearity of 3.1 % for the flow-rates of $10{\sim}100{\mu}l/min$ in the fluidic line. The pressure drop per fluidic interconnection is measured as 0.19kPa. Experimentally, there are no significant differences in pressure drops between straight channels and elbow channels. The measured average electrical resistance is $0.26{\Omega}/mm$ in the electrical line. The electrical resistance per each electrical interconnection is measured as $0.64{\Omega}$. Mechanically, the maximum pressure, where the microelectrofluidic bench endures, reaches up to $115{\pm}11kPa$.

In this paper, we designed a reduced height waveguide(WG) to microstrip mode converter with a short transition length. The mode converter is composed of a mode converter using E-plane probe and a modified impedance transformer. The mode converter was designed using a probe shorted to top of a 50 ohm ridge WG. The modified impedance transformer was designed to connect the mode converter to the reduced height WG. For wide bandwidth operation, the coupling of the two parts was tuned. The structure of the mode converter was optimized for low loss and wide bandwidth, and the optimized mode converter was fabricated. The performance of the mode converter was extracted using the thru and line S-parameters for back-to-back connections, and the connector loss was calibrated. The mode converter has a right angle structure and short transition length, 7.2 mm. The mode converter shows excellent performances; the insertion loss of 0.12 dB at 15 GHz, and the return loss above 10 dB for the full Ku-band.

현재 기지국과 중계기 사이의 광선로에 사용되고 있는 1310 nm와 1550 nm 파장이외에 OADM (optical add-drop multiplexer)을 사용하여 새로운 2개 파장을 광선로에 추가로 연결함으로써 광선로 임차사용의 효율을 증대시키는 4파장 광중계기의 구현시 drop신호는 삽입손실 ­3 dB 이하의 저손실특성이 요구되며 isolation 신호는 통상 ­40 dB 이상의 고품질이 요구된다. 그러나 이와같은 성능의 광모듈을 실제로 구현하기 어렵다. 따라서 많은 광결합 부품의 조합을 통해서도 drop또는 isolation 특성은 4파장 광중계기를 실용화하기 어려울 만큼 저하된다.

Submarine Optical Fiber Cable Link becomes a major transmission madi a in many countries and Continents thanks to development of low attenuation fiber and its capability of carryung broadband data. United States of America and Japan are aggressively planning to construct international submarine optical fiber links in North-East Asia. But the links do not connect Korea and Korea becomes isolated in the international communication network. This paper shows a strategy on submarine optical fibre cable links that make Korea a HUB station in North East As a without heavy investment.
