This paper proposes an approximate equation for broad bandwidth conditions in an antenna feeding probe design with a cylindrical magneto material structure (CMMS). The bandwidth calculation has been conducted according to the relation between the distance ($r_m$) between the magneto material and feeding probe, and the magneto material thickness ($t_m$) for a given ${\mu}_r$. The bandwidth of a proposed antenna with CMM feeding structure is improved about 182 %, when ${\mu}_r=20+j0.001$, in comparison with the bandwidth of an antenna without CMMS. The maximum error extent between the bandwidth calculated by the approximation equation and by the numerical calculation of the proposed antenna is about $\pm$3.2 % for ${\mu}_r=10+j0.001$. The approximation equation proposed in this study can solve the conventional problem of the complex process and the long time required for reiterative calculation, and allow simple and precise design with prediction. The accuracy of an approximated equation is compared with the results calculated by a commercial tool and verified by reasonable agreement between them.

In this paper, the double balance mixer(DBM) for Ku-band LNB using InGaP/GaAs HBT process is suggested for the characteristics of low DC power consumption, low noise figure, low intermodulation distortion and wide dynamic range. The 5 dB conversion gain, 14 dB NF, bandwidth 17.9 GHz and 50.34 dBc IMD are obtained under RF input power of -23 dBm, with bias condition as 3 V and 16 mA. The linearity of InGaP/GaAs HBT, the broad band input matching scheme and the optimization of bias point result in the low IMD, the broad bandwidth and the low power consumption characteristics.

The cavity-length detuning characteristics of the hybridly mode-locked dye laser have been studied with a collinear autocorrelator. In the optimum condition, the pulse width is 0.65 ps about three times as short as that of the synchronously mode-locked dye laser. As the cavity length is increased, the pulse width becomes broader than that at the optimum cavity length because of the effect of spontaneous emission. Also, the spectrum width becomes broad, therefore the time bandwidth product ($\Deltat\Deltav$) is increased. The peak power of autocorrelation is maximum at $\Deltat=5.0\umm$ longer than the optimum cavity length. On the other hand, as the cavity length is decreased, the pulse width becomes broader and the satellite pulses appear because of the gain recovery. Also the spectrum width becomes narrower than that at the optimum cavity length. In particular, at the mismatched cavity length the center of the lasing spectrum moves to shorter wavelengths. ngths.

With a growing concern about the state of infrastructure worldwide, the demand for the development of reliable nondestructive testing techniques (NDT) is ever increasing. Among possible NDT techniques. microwave method is proven to be effective in fast and non-contact inspection of concrete structures and inclusions inside concrete. It is also found that the microwave method has a potential in detecting the delamination between fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plate and concrete. On the other hand, ultrasonic method can be another way to find the delamination. In this paper, the research work needed for the development of a reliable microwave method and ultrasonic method is studied in actual measurements of concrete specimens reinforced with FRP. Concrete specimens are made with FRP and artificial delamination inside. A microwave measurement system with horn antennas with high center frequency and broad frequency bandwidth are used to image inside concrete specimens for the detection of debonding. between concrete and FRP. Also, the equipment of ultrasonic method which is commercialized are used at the same condition. Both of the results are analyzed in comparison of each other. Microwave and ultrasonic methods have been used for the detection of debonding between concrete and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP).

We have studied the characteristics of a cw Ti:sapphire laser pumped by an Ar-ion laser. Ti:sapphire is one of the most attractive materials for the generation of ultra-short pulses because of its very broad gain bandwidth. We used a 4.1 mm thick, 0.15 wt. % $Ti^{3+}$ -doped, Brewster-angled Ti:sapphire crystal and made a folded cavity to create a strong focusing mode. The folding angle of the cavity was adjusted to $15.4^{\circ}$ to compensate for the astigmatism from the Brewster-angled Ti:sapphire crystal. 5 WAr-ion laser was used as a pumping source. We observed that the Ti:sapphire cw output power was sensitively changed with respect to the condition of the folded cavity. The threshold pumping power was 2 Wand the slope efficiency was 16% when an output coupler of 10% transmission was used. The maximum output power was more than 450 mW at 5 W pumping. mping.

In this paper, a new type of predistortion linearizer has been studied. It employs a series feedback amplifier with a large source inductance as a predistortion linearizer, which provides positive amplitude and negative phase deviations for input Power and can compensate for AM-AM and AM-PM distortions of power amplifier. This predistortion lineariaer consists of only one CaAs FET, large source inductor, input output matching networks and bias circuits. Because of its simple circuit, the linear can be operated over a broad bandwidth and has good thermal stability The characteristics of this linearizer can be easily tuned using source inductor, its gate bias condition. In fabricated linearizer, the third-order intermodulation distortion(IMD) for main amplifier alone is 10.61dBc, and the $IM_3$ for main amplifier with predistorter is 21.91dBc. Therefore, the $IM_3$ characteristic results an improvement of approximately 11dB.
