In this paper, a waveguide antenna is designed and fabricated for side and rear radar sensor of vehicles in UWB (Ultra Wide Band) high band (center frequency : 9.5 GHz, -10 dB bandwidth : 600 MHz (6.4 %)). For the radar antenna, a probe fed rectangular waveguide antenna having simple structure and wide bandwidth is used. An important performance factor in this antenna is the isolation between transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX) waveguide antennas because this radar system uses TX and RX antennas separately. Thus the isolation between two antennas was simulated for E-plane and H-plane array. As a result, it was verified that the isolation of the H-plane array of the antennas is better than E-plane array, due to the TE10 mode. Therefore, H-plane arrayed waveguide antennas were mounted on a T-shaped radar module and performance of antennas was investigated. The -10 dB bandwidth of the TX and RX antenna mounted on T-shaped radar module was measured as 1000 MHz (10.52 %) and 1090 MHz (11.47 %) respectively and the isolation is less than -50 dB in the operation band. The peak gain is 7.65 dBi for the TX antenna and 7.26 dBi for the RX antenna and the beamwidth of H-plane of TX and RX antenna was measured as $64^{\circ}$ and $65^{\circ}$ respectively. Consequently, we verified that the proposed waveguide antenna is appropriate for a vehicle radar applications.

This experiment simulated the fire driven flow of an underground station through parallel processing method. Fire analysis program FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulation), using LES(Large Eddy Simulation), has been used and a 6-node parallel cluster, each node with 3.0Ghz_2set installed, has been used for parallel computation. Simulation model was based on the Kwangju-geumnan subway station. Underground station, and the total time for simulation was set at 600s. First, the whole underground passage was divided to 1-Mesh and 8-Mesh in order to compare the parallel computation of a single CPU and Multi-CPU. With matrix numbers($15{\times}10^6$) more than what a single CPU can handle, fire driven flow from the center of the platform and the subway itself was analyzed. As a result, there seemed to be almost no difference between the single CPU's result and the Multi-CPU's ones. $3{\times}10^6$ grid point one employed to test the computing time with 2CPU and 7CPU computation were computable two times and fire times faster than 1CPU respectively. In this study it was confirmed that CPU could be overcome by using parallel computation.

In this paper, methods for manufacturing shielding concrete by recycling steelmaking slag discarded as industrial waste and measuring the shielding effectiveness of the shielding concrete were studied. By comparing the result of shielding effectiveness measurement of this concrete block with shielding effectiveness measurement of the structure constructed with this concrete, the measurement system for measuring shielding effectiveness of the concrete block was verified. The size of the concrete stru ctu re is 2.9 × 2.9 × 3.4m and the concrete block is 0.3 × 0.3 × 0.2m. The frequ ency band u sed for mesu rement is 600MHz - 2GHz, the types of concrete u sed to measu re the shielding effectiveness are general concrete and concrete containing electric arc furnace oxidizing slag. In the case of the concrete structure, reinforcing rebars are installed at intervals of 15cm for stru ctu ral safety, as the frequ ency increase, the electromagnetic wave properties of rebars gradu ally decreased, there was a slight difference in the measurement results. In conclusion, the measurement result of shielding effectiveness of the concrete block is similar to the result of the concrete structure. It is thought that it can be sufficiently utilized for electromagnetic wave engineering design, and the concrete shielding effectiveness measurement system using standard specimens was verified.

In this paper, we present the fabrication and performance of FBAR filters with ladder and stacked crystal filter (SCF) types. The structure of the unit resonator in our work is the solidly mounted resonator (SMR) with W/SiO$_2$ multi-layer reflectors, the return loss of of which show -24dB at resonant frequency of -2.0GHz. The $K^2$eff, Q$_{s}$, and Q$_{p}$, indicating the performance of resonator were 3.24%, 6,363 and 6,749 and were calculated for the resonator with the resonance area of 21200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$. Based on this unit resonator, FBAR filters with ladder and SCF types were fabricated and compared. The sizes of filters were 800$\times$2000(${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$) for the ladder type and 600$\times$500(${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$) for the SCF type.e..

This study used general carbon fibers(CF), which can be utilized for a low voltage cable screen, as well as metal-coated carbon fibers(MCF) to make cables and analyzed the properties of electromagnetic effectiveness. Both braid CF and MCF cables with 3,000 strands, 16 spindles, and braid density of 90% or over were adopted. The tape-type MCF specimens were spread into a tape(width: 15mm) using a hot melt to make a cable. The shield effectiveness was measured up to the 1GHz range in accordance with IEC 62153-4-6; braid shielded cables featured a superior shielding effect at 63dB than tape-type shielded cables. That was because the tape-type shielded cable has relatively more gaps and holes between carbon fibers than the braid type, resulting in a more inflow or emission of electromagnetic waves. In the case of braid cables, the characteristics of their electromagnetic waves were enhanced, with higher spindles and higher conductivity of carbon fibers. The shield effectiveness of the MCF shielded cable, however, was lower than that of tin-coated one.

In this paper, three kinds of 24 GHz low-power CMOS cross-coupled voltage controlled oscillators are designed and fabricated for a short-range radar applications using TSMC 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The basic CMOS crosscoupled voltage controlled oscillator is designed for oscillating around a center frequency of 24.1 GHz and subthreshold oscillators are developed for low power operation from it. A double resonant circuit is newly applied to the subthreshold oscillator to improve the problem that parasitic capacitance of large transistors in a subthreshold oscillator can push the oscillation frequency toward lower frequencies. The fabricated chips show the phase noise of -101~-103.5 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset, the output power of -11.85~-15.33 dBm and the frequency tuning range of 475~852 MHz. In terms of power consumption, the basic oscillator consumes 5.6 mW, while the subthreshold oscillator does 3.3 mW. The subthreshold oscillator with the double resonant circuit shows relatively lower power consumption and improved phase noise performance while maintaining a comparable frequency tuning range. The subthreshold oscillator with double resonances has FOM of -185.2 dBc based on 1 mW DC power reference, which is an about 3 dB improved result compared with the basic oscillator.

YIG 에피택시박막은 다른 강자성, 페리자성재료에 비해 수 GHz의 영역에서 매우 우수한 특성을 나타내고 있다. YIG 에피택시 박막은 고상에피택시 방법으로 제조할 경우 매우 편리하게 제조할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이 방법은 상온에서 Y-Fe-O 박막을 GGG(111)기판에 스파터한 뒤 공기 중에서 열처리하면 간편하게 얻을 수 있다. 이 방법은 통상과 같이 고온에서 아주 느린 속도로 에피택시박막을 성장시키는 스파터방법에 비해 매우 간편하고 경제적인 것으로, 본 연구에서는 보통의 분말소결공정으로 제작된 2.5인치 YIG 타겟을 사용하여 두께 2.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 비정질 Fe-Y-O 박막을 만든 뒤 550 - 1050 $^{\circ}C$의 공기 중에서 열처리하였다. 비정질 박막을 $600^{\circ}C$이하에서 10 시간동안 열처리하였을 경우 매우 약한 YIG상의 회절선만 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면에 온도를 $650^{\circ}C$로 올리면 매우 강한 (444) 또는 (888)회절선과 매우 약한 다른 회절선을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 이 시편의 경우 (888)회절선의 강도는 GGG기판의 (888)회절선의 강도와 비교할 정도로 매우 강하여 에피택시성장이 매우 잘 이루어질 수 있다는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 YIG(888) 회절선의 록킹곡선의 반가폭이 0.14$^{\circ}$ 이었고, 이것은 에피택시성장이 매우 잘 이루어지고 있음을 의미하는 것이다. 열처리 온도가 감소함에 따라 YIG박막의 격자상수는 감소하였으며 YIG(888)회절선의 강도는 그림 1과 같이 넓어지고 그 강도는 약해진다.

본 연구에서는 마이크로파 유전체 소자로서의 응용 및 절연 산화막으로의 응용을 위해 마이크로파 유전체 세라믹으로 사용되어 온 MgTiO3 물질을 펄스 레이저로 박막을 제조하였다. MgTiO3 는 주로 고주파에서 높은 유전율을 갖고 높은 품질계수 (22.000 at 5 GHz) 혹은 낮은 유전손실을 갖으며 유전특성의 온도 안정성이 우수하여 유전체 세라믹 재료로 응용된다. MgTiO3 박막의 성장은 KrF(파장:248nm) 엑시머 레이저를 이용했으며 공정조건으로 박막의 성장온도는 500-75$0^{\circ}C$, 산소 압력은 10-5-200mTorr, 성장 후 냉각시 산소분위기는 200Torr, 레이저 에너지 밀도는 1.5-5J/cm2 등의 조건으로 박막을 성장하였다. MgTiO3 박막을 여러 가지 기판, 즉 Al2O3(r-plane), Si, Pt 위에 성장시켰으며 기판에 따라 에픽텍셜 혹은 다결정 상태를 갖는 ilmenite 구조로 성장되었다. PLD(Pulsed laser deposition)법에 의해 형성된 MgTiO3 박막을 보면, 우선 Al2O3(r-plane) 기판위에 성장된 경우 $700^{\circ}C$에서 에픽텍셜하게 성장하였으며, Si 기판 위에 성장된 경우 $650^{\circ}C$에서부터 (003)면으로 우선 배향된 단일상의 ilmenite 구조가 형성된다. Ptdnl에 성장된 경우 $600^{\circ}C$에서부터 (003)면으로 우선배향성을 가지며 $650^{\circ}C$에서 결정의 안정화를 이루었으나, MgTiO3 박막은 전기적 특성으로 유전특성 및 유전분산 특성 등이 측정 분석되어 MgTiO3 박막의 고주파 유전체로의 응용에 관한 가능성을 토의하였다.

In this study, the (l-x)$TiTe_3O_{8}$-x$MgTiO_3$ ceramics were investigated to obtain the improved dielectric properties of a high temperature stability and a sintering temperature of less than $900^{\circ}C$ which was necessary for the LTCC. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns of the (l-x)$TiTe_3O_{8}$-x$MgTiO_3$(x=0∼1) ceramics, the columbite structure of $TiTe_3O_{8}$ and ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ were coexisted. Increasing the $MgTiO_3$ mole ratio(x), the density and dielectric constant were decreased and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was moved to the negative direction and the quality factor was increased. In the case of the 0.6$TiTe_3O_{8}$-0.4$MgTiO_3$ ceramics sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 3hr., the microwave dielectric properties were $\varepsilon_{\gamma}$=29.3, Q${\times}$$f_{\gamma}$=39.600GHz and $\tau$$_{f}$=+9.3ppm/$^{\circ}C$.
