BSCCO thin films were fabricated by an ion beam sputtering method with an ultra-low growth rate, and sticking coefficients of the respective elements are evaluated. The sticking coefficient of Bi element in BSCCO film formation was observed to show a unique temperature dependence; it was almost a constant value of 0.49 below about $730^{\circ}C$ and decreased linearly over about $730^{\circ}C$. In contrast, Sr and Ca, displayed no such remarkable temperature dependence. This behavior of the sticking coefficient was explained consistently on the basis of the evaporation and sublimation processes of Bi2O3. It is considered that the liquid phase of the bismuth oxide plays an important role in the Bi 2212 phase formation in the co-deposition process.

The power-controlled six-port element that can control the local oscillator signal power and receiving RF signal power was designed and implemented in this paper. The direct conversion six-port element configuration was proposed, which provides the constant six-port output power by controlling the six-port input power with various signal strength. The direct conversion six-port element protects the power detector element of six-port receiver from the saturation status and compensates the transmission performance degradation. For implementation of power-controlled six-port element, the power-controlled six-port element including the power controller was analyzed. The implemented power-controlled six-port element shows the power control capability of 36 dB and gain imbalance of about 1.6 dB, phase imbalance of about $4^{\circ}$ in the frequency range of 1.69 GHz. The measured results show the good performance as direct conversion front-end element.

The dielectric and sintering characteristics of composites made by substituting Ca ion to Ba-site and Zr ion to Ti site in $(Ba{1-x}Ca_x)(Ti{0.96-yZr_ySn_{0.04})O_3$ $(0.15{\leq}x{\leq}0.20,\;0.09{\leq}y{\leq}0.14)$ were investigated. As the content of Ca was more than 15 mol%, composite was formed by precipitating the second phase whose main element was $CaTiO_3$ and the fraction of the second phase was increased. The curie temperature of composites was depended on Ca concentration, $-1.7^{\circ}C$ per mol% and the maximum dielectric constant of composite was decreased by the rate of 200/mol%. The substitution of Zr ion decreased the curie temperature by the rate of $10^{\circ}C$ per mol% and the maximum dielectric constant was decreased by 217/mol% due to the increase of diffuse phase transition. The density and insulation breakdown characteristics were improved by suppressing the abnormal grain growth due to the increase of second phase. We developed the composition of Y5U (EIA standard) condenser which had high breakdown voltage and dielectric constant by controlling diffuse phase transition by the addition of Zr ion into composite.

The PSK carrier signal recovery circuit using a six-port phase correlator was analyzed and the circuit structure is proposed in this paper. The proposed carrier signal recovery circuit that is made of reflection element and six-port phase correlator, which is comprised of a power divider and three hybrid branch line couplers, give a simple structure and can be fabricated without no difficulty. The circuit recovers the carrier signal of BPSK and QPSK modulation signal. The proposed scheme can be utilized as a basis structure for high-mode PSK carrier signal recovery. By simulation results, the recovered signal by the proposed circuit shows a good carrier signal characteristic with CW signal of a constant phase($23.4^{\circ}$) and ${\pm}0.8^{\circ}$ phase error due to glitch conditions.

The six-port direct conversion receiver front-end that is comprised of a carrier recovery and a phase shifter, which gets the same structure with six-port phase correlator using the multi-layer coupled line, was designed and fabricated in this paper. The six-port element that is comprised of the power divider and the hybrid coupler is designed by multi-layer coupled line structure. The multi-coupled structure is utilized as the basic structure in receiver phase correlator, carrier recovery circuit and phase shifter. The receiver front-end with the same multi-layer coupled line structure for the receiver elements shows the simple structure and no difficulty in integration. The fabricated multi-layer coupled six-port receiver front-end re-generates the carrier signal with a constant phase and demodulates the PSK transmission signal.

In this paper, the optimum shape design of stator slot of induction motors for iron loss reduction is proposed. To obtain the flux distribution in induction motors, 2-D finite element method with voltage source is employed. The iron loss is calculated from the iron loss data given by the iron manufacturer. To calculate the sensitivity of iron loss to shape variation, the sensitivity analysis of discrete approach is used. The proposed algorithm is applied to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. The nodes at stator slot boundary of the induction motor are defined as design parameters. By controlling these parameters under the constant volume of iron, we can minimize the iron loss. Furthermore, the stator copper loss is reduced by increasing the slot area. So the stator slot area is determined at the point that the summation of iron loss and copper loss of stator is minimized. Since the constraint of constant volume of iron is nonlinear to the design parameters, the Gradient Projection method is used as an optimization algorithm.

The fabricated carrier recovery 6 port element with multi-layer coupled line structure gets the simple architecture. It is possible to implement the carrier signal recovery circuit of the same structure with the multi-layer six port phase correlator of the direct receiver front-end. Based on the analysis of RML carrier recovery circuit using the multi-layer coupled line 6-port phase correlator, the multi-layer coupled line carrier signal recovery structure for multi-mode coherent demodulation was proposed. The fabricated multi-layer coupled line carrier signal recovery circuit for quadrature phase shift-keying shows a good carrier signal characteristic with a constant phase and phase error below ${\pm}3o$.

This paper proposes that an inverse class-E amplifier is used a tunable parallel resonator at output port in order to maintain a high power-added efficiency(PAE) and output power with wide frequency ranges. A tunable circuit has a constant Q factor at operating frequency ranges and because of using varactor diode, the inductor and capacitor values of resonator can be changed. Also, the inductance value for zero-current switching (ZCS) is implemented a lumped element and the capacitance value is made a distributed element for phase compensation. The inverse class E amplifier using tunable parallel resonator is obtained to deliver 25dBm output power and achieve maximum power added efficiency(PAE) of 75% at 65-120MHz frequency ranges.

This study examined the natural convection heat flow characteristics of the melting process of PCM (palm oil) inside a liquid flexitank(bag) for a cargo container. A film heating element was installed on the bottom of the container, and numerical analysis was performed under heat flux conditions of 1,000 to 4,000 W/m². As a result, the melt interface of the PCM rises to a nearly horizontal state over time. In the initial stage, conduction heat transfer dominates, but gradually waves at the cell flow and melt interfaces are formed due to natural convection heat transfer. As melting progresses, the Ra number increases parabolically, and the Nu number increases linearly and has a constant value. The Nu number rises slowly under low heat flux conditions, whereas under high heat flux conditions, the Nu number rises rapidly. As the heat flux increases, the internal temperature oscillation of the liquid phase after melting increases. However, under high heat flux conditions, excess heat exceeding the latent heat is generated, and the temperature of the molten liquid is raised, so the increase in melting rate decreases. Therefore, the appropriate heating element specification applied to a 20-ton palm oil container is 2,000 W/m².

The single crystalline thick films of Y$_3$Fe$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/(YIG), Y$_3$Fe$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/(Bi:YIG), (TbBi)$_3$(FeAlGa)$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/ (TbBi:YIG) were grown on (GdCa)$_3$(GaMgZr)$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/ (SGGG) by Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE). The change of lattice mismatch, Bi concentration, characteristic of magnetic and surface morphology were investigated in the thick film growth as a function of species and amount of chemical element, while substrate rotation speed, supercooling and growth time were kept constant. It was observed that the lattice constant of garnet single crystalline thick films of TbBi:YIG (12.500 ${\AA}$) is closed to the one of the substrate (12.496 ${\AA}$). Besides magnetic field of saturation exhibits excellent results (150 Oe).
