A RF amplitude equalizer is designed to improve in-band flatness of Rf filters and/or systems using two dielectric resonators and a 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid. The equalizer has good return loss characteristics and V shaped S$_{21}$ response in passband which is suitable to compensate the ripple degradation due to insufficient quality factors of used resonators or narrow band width of filters or systems. After being connected to the equalizer, a 5-pole BPF at 1957MHz, which has 10 MHz bandwidth and 6㏈ ripple, shows only 1.8㏈ in-band ripple and good in- and out- band matched responses within used hybrid bandwidth without additional matching networks.

The volumetric efficiency is significantly affected by the behavior of pressure wave in induction system and exhaust pipe. By the motion of the piston, there exist pressure fluctuation in induction system which produce waves. Waves are propagated along a pipe bi-directional as they propagated through it, making compression wave and rare-faction(expansion) wave. These wave phenomena can affect to the volumetric efficiency. As a method of improvement of the volumetric efficiency, fuel economy and pollutant emission reduction particularly in low engine speeds, a side-branch additional tunable helmholtz resonator on the secondary pipe of intake system is proposed by use of their acoustic vibrations. Some of results are presented which deal with their physical phenomena for the wave action of intake system in a four-stroke three cylinders diesel engine.

Modern solid-state gyroscopes (HRG) with hemispherical resonators from high-purity quartz glass and special surface superfinishing and ultrathin gold coating become the best instruments for precise-grade inertial reference units (IRU) targeting long-term space missions. Designing of these sensors could be a notable contribution into development of Korea as a space nation. In participial, 40mm diameter thin-shell resonator from high-purity fused quartz, fabricated as a single-piece with its supporting stem has been designed, machined, etched, tuned, tested, and delivered by STM Co. (ATS of Ukraine) several years ago; an extremely-high Q-factor (upto 10~20 millions) has been shown. Understanding of the best way how to match such a unique sensor with inner glass assembly of the gyro means how to use the high potential in a maximal extent; and this has become the urgent task. Inner quartz glass assembly has a very thin indium (In) layer soldered the resonator and its silica base (case), but effects of internal resonances between operational modal pair of the shell-cup and its side (parasitic) modes can notable degrade the potential of the sensor as a whole, instead of so low level of resonator's intrinsic losses. Unfortunately, there are special combinations of dimensions of the parts (so-called, "resonant sizes"), when intensive losses of energy occurs. The authors proposed to use the length of stem's fixture as an additional design parameter to avoid such cases. So-called, a cyclic scheme of finite element method (FEM) and ANSYS software were employed to estimate different combinations of gyro assembly parameters. This variant has no mismatches of numerical origin due to FEM's discrete mesh. The optimum length and dangerous "resonant lengths" have been found. The special attention has been paid to analyses of 3D effects in a cup-stem transient zone, including determination of a difference between the positions of geometrical Pole of the resonant hemisphere and of its "dynamical Pole", i.e., its real zone of oscillation node. Boundary effects between the shell (cup) and 3D short "beams" (inner and outer stems) have been ranged. The results of the numerical experiments have been compared with the classic model of a quasi-hemispherical shell band with inextensional midsurface, and the solution using Rayleigh's functions of the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ kinds. To guarantee the truth of the recommended sizes to a designer of the real device, the analytical and FEM results have been compared with experimental data for a party of real resonators. The consistency of the results obtained by different means has been shown with errors less than 5%. The results notably differ from the data published earlier by different researchers.

A compact microstrip dual-band bandpass filter with controllable bandwidth for each passband is proposed. Each passband is independently designed using two different dual-mode resonators. The proposed dual-band bandpass filter has three transmission zeros. Two transmission zeros are generated by each dual-mode resonator. An additional transmission zero is generated by input/output port coupling. The dual-band bandpass filter application is designed for 2.4/5.7 GHz WLAN. Experimental results are presented to validate theory.

A three-degree of freedom model of intake system was contrived and investigated in various ways for the purpose of the amelioration of the volumetric efficiency in a low and transient engine speed for a multi cylinder diesel engine. The basic concept beyond this model started from the theory that each degree of freedom model has volumetric efficiency peak as many as its number of the degree of freedom. The volumetric efficiency affects significantly to the engine performance; torque characteristics, fuel economy and emission level. For commercial vehicles and stationary engines, the engine is designed so as to produce their best performance near the normal engine speeds, thus the low engine speed area has a tendency of poor volumetric efficiency. The aim of this study was highlighted on the amelioration of volumetric efficiency of low engine speed area in a multi cylinder diesel engine matched with an additional Helmholtz resonator. By the use of VIS(variable induction system) volumetric efficiency at low engine speed range was significantly improved. The availability of control by combination of VIS and CIS(conventional induction system) will be proposed as a variable induction system that would be an appropriate model for amelioration of the volumetric efficiency at low engine speed.

In this paper, the output power level and phase noise property of nine conventional push-push FET DROs (Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) have been experimentally investigated by adding one more identical DR at the drain port. The nine oscillators designed to generate 20 GHz from 10 GHz fundamental frequency, have been tested for each of three different power combiners at the output port. It has been observed that the output power level of the push-push FET DROs can be improved by placing the DR while maintaining their phase noise characteristics were approximately the same as before adding the DR.

In this paper, a low noise parallel feedback oscillator for harmonic suppression and a frequency doubler are designed and implemented. As the fundamental signal of the oscillator for frequency doubling is extracted between the dielectric resonator (DR) filter and the gate device of the active device, the undesired harmonics at the output of the oscillator is remarkably suppressed. The fundamental signal of the oscillator for frequency doubling directly feeds to the frequency doubler without an additional band pass filter for harmonic suppression. The second harmonic suppression of -47.7 dBc at the oscillator output is achieved, while the fundamental suppression of -37.5 dBc at the doubler output is obtained. The phase noise characteristics are -80.3 dBc/Hz and -93.5 dBc/Hz at the offset frequency of 10 KHz and 100 KHz from the carrier, respectively.

A method of measuring Q of a two port cavity by scattering parameters is proposed. The scattering parameters of a two port cavity resonator are derived by a lumped equivalent circuit model as a function of cavity parameters, including the cavity Q. These can be also obtained by direct measurement with a modern network analyzer, The results show good agreement with those from other well-known methods. This two port measurement can provide additional information such as the coupled power ratio, which is one of the important parameters for the beam accelerating cavities.

In this paper, we propose a design of a triple-band microstrip circular patch antenna. The proposed antenna generates the triple frequency resonance at 1.85GHz(LTE), 2.45GHz(ISM) and 5.5GHz(WLAN). Firstly, we design the dual-band antenna. The dual-band antenna consist of the circular patch, slits, and the slot. The circular patch and slot are designed for dual frequency of 2.45GHz and 5.5GHz, respectively. And then the dual-band antenna is combined with additional arm-shaped structure for the triple-band characteristic. The arm-shaped structure is operated as the dipole. It is designed for lowest frequency of 1.85GHz. Each part of the antenna unites to a new structure. In order to design the proposed antenna automatically and optimally, APSO algorithm is adopted. During APSO, the mismatch of the proposed antenna is resolved. The optimal designed antenna has an acceptable return loss(-10dB) at each bands(i.e, 1.85GHz, 2.45GHz and 5.5GHz).

In this paper, we describe a self-aligned fabrication method for a nano-patterned bottom electrode using flood exposure from the backside. Misalignments between layers could cause the final devices to fail after the fabrication of the nano-scale bottom electrodes. A self-alignment was exploited to embed the bottom electrode inside the glass substrate. Aluminum patterns act as a dry etching mask to fabricate glass trenches as well as a self-aligned photomask during the flood exposure from the backside. The patterned photoresist (PR) has a negative sidewall slope using the flood exposure. The sidewall slopes of the glass trench and the patterned PR were $54.00^{\circ}$ and $63.47^{\circ}$, respectively. The negative sidewall enables an embedment of a gold layer inside $0.7{\mu}m$ wide glass trenches. Gold residues on the trench edges were removed by the additional flood exposure with wet etching. The sidewall slopes of the patterned PR are related to the slopes of the glass trenches. Nano-scale bottom electrodes inside the glass trenches will be used in beam resonators operating at high resonant frequencies.
