This study demonstrates the performance of flexible surface wave resonators in spaces on a ship to overcome environmental limits like non-metallic walls where conventional surface wave resonators cannot installable. Although test results in plane structures show that the performance of conventional surface wave resonators are better than the flexible ones, the results are reversed in curved structures. Flexible surface wave resonators can be installed on metal-pipes that connects all spaces in a ship, and this will allow to build ultimate communication network all over the ship including the rooms like cabins or bridges that are enclosed in non-metallic walls.

플라즈마 중합 기법에 의해 제작된 고분자 (plasma polymerized polymer) 박막은 단량체(monomer)의 고유의 특성을 유지하며 고분자 박막이 형성됨을 확인하고, 기판 바이어스에 의해 시간에 따른 증착 두께는 선형적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 자체 제작된 플라즈마 중합 시스템에서 self-bias voltage를 최소화하여 플라즈마 고분자의 증착효율 및 두께 조절이 가능함을 확인하였다. 플라즈마 합성을 이용해 고분자 박막을 제조하고, MIM 소자를 제작하여 통상적인 고분자 합성기법으로 제조된 고분자 대비 높은 유전상수 값이 확인되었다. 결과적으로 유기박막 트랜지스터 및 유기 메모리 등 플렉서블 유기전자소자용 절연/유전체 박막으로의 응용이 기대된다.

In this paper, a novel flexible microfluidic metamaterial absorber is proposed for remote chemical sensor applications. The proposed metamaterial absorber consists of a periodic of split-ring-cross resonators(SRCRs) and a microfluidic channel. The SRCR patterns are inkjet-printed using silver nanoparticle inks on paper. The microfluidic channels are laser-etched on polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) material. The proposed absorber can detect change of the effective permittivity at different liquids. Therefore, the absorber can be used for a remote chemical sensor by detecting change of the resonant frequencies. The performance of the proposed absorber is demonstrated with full-wave simulation and measurement results. The experimental results shows that the resonant frequency is 10.49 GHz at the empty channel. When ethanol and DI-water are injected into the channel, the resonant frequencies are 10.04 GHz and 8.9 GHz, respectively.

The fracture analysis of $SiN_x$ layers, which were deposited by low-temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (LT-PECVD) and could be used for an encapsulation layer of a flexible organic light emitting display (OLED), was performed by an electrical method. The specimens of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure were prepared using Pt and ITO electrodes. We stressed MIM specimen mechanically by bending outward with a bending radius of 15mm repeatedly and measured leakage current through the top and bottom electrodes. We also observed the cracks, were generated on surface, by using optical microscope. Once the cracks were initiated, the leakage current started to flow. As the amount of cracks increased, the leakage current was also increased. By correlating the electrical leakage current in the MIM specimen with the bending times, the amount of cracks in the encapsulation layer, generated during the bending process, was quantitatively estimated and fracture behavior of the encapsulation layer was also closely investigated.

The purpose of this paper is to compare complexity and to assess flexibility of competing transponder architectures for satellite communication services. For performance comparison, we consider three channelization techniques: digital down converter(DDC) based on the use of the cascaded integrator-comb(CIC) filter, tuneable pipeline frequency transform(T-PFT) based on the tree-structure(TS) and variable oversampled complex-modulated filter banks(OCM-FB) based on the polyphase FFT(P-FFT). The comparison begins by presenting a basic architecture of each channelization method and includes analytical expressions of the number of multiplications as a computational complexity perspective. The analytical results show that DDC with CIC filter requires the heavy computational burden and the perfect flexibility. T-PFT based on the TS provides the almost perfect flexibility with the low complexity over DDC with the CIC filter for a large number of sub-channels. OCM-FB based on the P-FFT shows the high flexibility and the best computational complexity performance compared with other approaches.

This study examined the effects of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on the physical and chemical characteristics of thin silver (Ag) layers on SiO2 coated metal foils. Ag layers were annealed at various temperatures of the range between 150 ℃ and 550 ℃ for 20 min. The surface roughness and resistivity are increased at the annealing temperatures of 550 ℃. We also found that oxygen (O) and silicon (Si) atoms exist at the Ag film surface by using compositional analysis in the annealing temperatures of 550 ℃. The total reflectance is decreased with increasing temperature. These phenomena are due to an out-diffusion of Si atoms from SiO2 layers during the RTA annealing. The results offer the possibility of using it as a substrate for various flexible optoelectronic devices.
