Laser induced surface activation (LISA) technology requires refined selection of process variables to fabricate conductive microcircuits on a general polymer material. Among the process variables, laser mode is one of the crucial factors to make a reliable conductor pattern. Here we compare the continuous wave (CW) laser mode with the pulse wave (PW) laser mode through determination of the surface roughness and circuit accuracy. In the CW laser mode, the surface roughness is pronounced during the implementation of the conductive circuit, which results in uneven plating. In the PW laser mode, the surface is relatively smooth and uniform, and the formed conductive circuit layer has few defects with excellent adhesion to the polymer material. As a result of a change of laser mode from CW to PW, the value of Ra of the polymer material decreases from 0.6 ㎛ to 0.2 ㎛; the value of Ra after the plating process decreases from 0.8 ㎛ to 0.4 ㎛, and a tight bonding force between the polymer source material and the conductive copper plating layer is achieved. In conclusion, this study shows that the PW laser process yields an excellent conductive circuit on a polymeric material.

With the conventional CW Doppler velocity meter, bl-directional velocities cannot be separated. The new CW Doppler system uses quadrature detection and phase rotation to produce simultaneous independent audio and velocity signals for forward and reverse blood flow direction, is fabricated. Specially, this system shows that phase rotation method for flow direction separation provides easy and satisfactory feature. From in vivo blood flow measurement, we can easily differentiate typical artery flow from vein flow, and measure both velocity characteristics qualitatively.

Continuous wave (CW) Doppler radar has the advantage of being able to solve the privacy problem unlike camera and obtains signals in a non-contact manner. Therefore, this paper proposes a human activity recognition (HAR) system using CW Doppler radar, and presents the hardware design and implementation results for acceleration. CW Doppler radar measures signals for continuous operation of human. In order to obtain a single motion spectrogram from continuous signals, an algorithm for counting the number of movements is proposed. In addition, in order to minimize the computational complexity and memory usage, binarized neural network (BNN) was used to classify human motions, and the accuracy of 94% was shown. To accelerate the complex operations of BNN, the FPGA-based BNN accelerator was designed and implemented. The proposed HAR system was implemented using 7,673 logics, 12,105 registers, 10,211 combinational ALUTs, and 18.7 Kb of block memory. As a result of performance evaluation, the operation speed was improved by 99.97% compared to the software implementation.

Polymer thin films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) plasma polymerization of phthalic anhydride (PA). First, monomer vaporization temperature ($100{\sim}160^{\circ}C$) was optimized by evaluating the thermal properties of thin films using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and measuring the root-mean-square (RMS) roughness with atomic force microscope (AFM) at the fixed plasma power of 10 W and time of 5 min in a continuous-wave (CW) mode. Plasma power (5~20 W) was then optimized by measuring the film solubility in solvents such as toluene, acetone, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and 1 methylpyrrolidine (NMP). Next, pulsed mode plasma polymerization was also studied by varying the duty cycle of on-time (5, 20%) under optimized conditions of continuous-wave (CW) mode ($120^{\circ}C$, 10 W) in order to increase the anhydride functional groups. Finally, polymer thin films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and ${\alpha}$-step.

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is a high-sensitive laser spectroscopic technique capable of measuring concentrations of trace gases. We have demonstrated a new design of the CRDS spectrometer with a continuous wave (CW) laser. The ring-dwon signal is produced through blocking the incident CW laser by scanning the cavity length fast toward off-resonance iwth PZT (piezoelectric transducer). We have also measured an absorption spectrum of acetylene overtone transitions near 570 nm at the pressure of 2700 Pa, and the minimum detectable absorption coefficient has been found to be about $3{\times}10^{-9}\cm^{-1}$.

The damage in germanium (Ge) optical window irradiated by a near-infrared continuous wave (CW) laser was studied. Laser-induced heating and melting process were surveyed, and the specific laser power and the irradiance time to melt were estimated by numerical simulation. The experiments were also carried out to investigate the macro and micro structure change on Ge window. Results showed that the surface deformation was formed by melting and resolidification process, the damaged surface had a polycrystalline phase, and the transmittance as an optical performance factor in mid-infrared region was decreased. We confirmed that an abnormal polycrystalline phase and surface deformation effect such as hillock formation and roughness increase reduced the transmittance of Ge window and were the damage mechanism of CW laser induced damage on Ge window.

We have studied the properties of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in an optical fiber using optical pulses and continuous wave light. We find that the thresholds for SBS are the same when the averaged power of pulse light is the same as the power of cw light. From this result, the SBS threshold of pulse light can be deduced from that of continuous wave light, which can be obtained easily and accurately.

During the sea trial test, we discovered EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) between MIL-SATCOM parabolic antenna and ES(Electronic Warfare Support) omni antenna. Emitted side lobe of CW(Continuous Wave) from MIL-SATCOM raises the threshold level of ES omni antenna. Therefore detection rate of ES is decreased. To solve this problem, the path of side lobe of CW from MIL-SATCOM should be blocked using EMI shield. This paper presents the method how to calculate the size of EMI shield, material, and optimized deployment. The test of the EMI shield effect was performed on a surface ship. After installing EMI shield, EMI has been decreased significantly. This paper will provide a method how to design EMI shield and a way to verify the result.
