For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. The dual demodulator is composed of a demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter measuring the low-frequency signal with large magnitude such as strain and the other using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer detecting the high-frequency signal with small amplitude such as impact or damage signal. Using the proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signals of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. The strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were accompanied with vibration at a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz at the instant of matrix crack propagation in the 90 degree layer in composite beam.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal, a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. One demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter can measure low-frequency signal such as strain and the other demodulator using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer can detect high-frequency signal such as damage signal or impact signal. Using a proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signal of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. Analysis of the strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were induced due to transverse crack propagation in the 90 degree layer of composite beam and vibration with a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz was generated.

An objective of this study is to develop a voltage measuring device that uses a gas-filled switch (GS) on 22.9 kV-y extra-high voltage distribution lines. The voltage measuring device proposed in this paper is a kind of capacitive divider which consists of a detecting electrode attached outside of the bushing of GS, an impedance matching circuit, and a voltage buffer. It can be easily installed in an established GS without changing the structure. For the calibration and application investigations, the voltage measuring device was set up in the 25.8 kV 400 A GS, and a step pulse generator having 5 ns rise time is used. As a result, it was found that the frequency bandwidth of the voltage measuring device ranges from 1.35 Hz to about 13 MHz. The error of voltage dividing ratio which is evaluated by the commercial frequency voltage of 60 Hz was less than 0.2%. In addition, voltage dividing ratio in the commercial frequency voltage and in a non-oscillating impulse voltage were compared, and their deviation were less than 0.7%.

In this study, a Ka-band waveguide rotary joint that can be applied to a millimeter-wave seeker is designed and fabricated. The proposed rotary joint maintains a low standing-wave ratio and low-loss characteristics, and has two rotary axes designed to enable azimuth and elevation rotation. The rotary joint is designed as a ridge-waveguide-type mode converter and a ${\lambda}/4$ choke structure to match the electromagnetic wave propagation mode between the spherical and circular waveguides. A performance test using a network analyzer and a high-power transmitter to assess vibration and shock were conducted. Results showed that the rotary joint had a very low standing-wave ratio of less than the maximum of 1.19:1 and an insertion loss of less than 0.80 dB at $F_C{\pm}500MHz$.
