A flexible reflective cholesteric liquid crystal display (ChLCD) is fabricated on plastic substrates by using the pixel isolation method. The polymer walls between pixels and the polymer layers in the pixels are formed by two-step UV irradiation. Electro-optical response of the ChLCD with polymer wall and layer is studied and compared with conventional bistable ChLCD cells.

In order to realize a high performance(low loss, high isolation) microwave power divider/combiner, we have designed the power combiner/divider precisely in accordance with the different hight of central part. In the case of the high central part of the hight of $h_r$=10.2, a compensating part of the conical line is inserted in the conical conversion transmission line, and in the case of low central part of the hight of $h_r$=5.0, the conical conversion transmission line is remodeled into the 2-stage bend structure. In both case, the reflection characteristics are improved to 30dB over the operating frequency range of 5GHz bandwidth. A resistance is inserted between the peripheral ports so as to try to improve the isolation characteristics of the device. For the 16-divider/combiner, the isolation characteristics are improved to 10dB over the operating frequency range of 5GHz bandwidth.

Fault section isolation and service restoration are very important for function of DAS. In Japan, a progressive protection method is used for the line to ground fault section isolation and service restoration. But the progressive protection method has a drawback that the customer will experience outage time and that the rate in use of the feeder is not over 50%. This paper presents a new Service Restoration Algorithm which is for the line to ground fault section isolation and service restoration method for a ungrounded distribution system. If the proposed algorithm is used, the rate in use of the feeder can improve than before because a distribution system can change multi connection of feeder and the customer's outage time can be reduced. The proposed algorithm has been successfully tested in a distribution system.

Multiplexers based on isolation circuits made of metamaterial lines are proposed and studied. The new approach provides unique advantageous features beneficial to system designer. For instance, there is no need to modify the filters used in multiplexers. Also, the design process is straightforward. In this paper, two types of multiplexers based on metamaterial isolation circuits are presented, and their operation concepts are explained. Also, theories and design process of isolation circuits are presented to help readers design and fabricate proposed multiplexers. For verifying the concepts, two types of triplexers and two types of quadruplexers are designed and fabricated. All filters used in the multiplexers are commercial surface acoustic wave filters. The measured results are well matched with the simulation results.

This paper proposes a novel design for a compact, high-isolation WCDMA indoor repeater antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a patch antenna and metamaterial absorber. The required WCDMA bandwidth is obtained by utilizing the coupling between the main and the parasitic patches. In addition, high isolation is achieved using the metamaterial absorber, which has an absorption of about 98% at 2.1 GHz. Overall, the proposed antenna has a gain of over 7 dBi, a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of less than 2, more than 85 dB of isolation between the service and donor antennas over the WCDMA band and a total volume of the proposed antenna only $70mm{\times}70mm{\times}43.8mm$.

In order to obtain balanced ports matching and isolation between balanced ports of a Marchand balun, a compact isolation network is proposed. The proposed compact isolation network is designed using composite right/left-hand (CRLH) transmission line and compact phase inverter using CRLH transmission line unit cell. Also, design method and analysis of proposed isolation network are presented. The sizes of the proposed isolation networks are significantly reduced to $0.11{\lambda}_g$ and $0.07{\lambda}_g$ compared with the conventional isolation network of $0.5{\lambda}_g$. The Marchand balun is operated at 2.45 GHz and is demonstrated through excellent experimental results.

In this paper, the method of isolation enhancement for the mobile phone MIMO antenna of LTE class 40(2300~2400MHz) was studied. Design of MIMO antenna was based on the hybrid antenna that operates both a monopole and an IFA(Inverted F Antenna). A structure for the isolation enhancement which controls induced electric field on the ground plane is located between MIMO antenna, and was not connected with the ground but apart 0.3mm. A MIMO antenna that operates on class 3~40(1710~2400MHz) of LTE service bands and a structure for the isolation enhancement at the class 10 band were designed. VSWR measurement of implemented antenna on the FR4 board showed within 3:1 at entire design bands, and isolation between antennas at the class 40 band was less than -30dB. Isolation was enhanced more than 20dB by the studied structure. ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) for MIMO performance was under 0.1, and antenna average gain and efficiency measured in the anechoic chamber were -4.28~-1.40dBi and 37.32~72.36% respectively.

As the deep sub-micron devices are recently integrated high package density, novel process method for sub $0.1{\mu}m$ devices is required to get the superior thin gate oxide characteristics and reliability. However, few have reported on the electrical quality and reliability on the thin gate oxide. In this paper I will recommand a novel shallow trench isolation structure for thin gate oxide $30{\AA}$ of deep sub-micron devices. Different from using normal LOCOS technology, novel shallow trench isolation have a unique 'inverse narrow channel effects' when the channel width of the devices is scaled down shallow trench isolation has less encroachment into the active device area. Based on the research, I could confirm the successful fabrication of shallow trench isolation(STI) structure by the SEM, in addition to thermally stable silicide process was achiever. I also obtained the decrease threshold voltage value of the channel edge and the contact resistance of $13.2[\Omega/cont.]$ at $0.3{\times}0.3{\mu}m^2$. The reliability was measured from dielectric breakdown time, shallow trench isolation structure had tile stable value of $25[%]{\sim}90[%]$ more than 55[sec].

Fault Detection and Isolation(FDI) schemes using unknown input functional observers with very low order are presented. These schemes resolve the major practical difficulties with all FDI systems employing multiple observers for residual generation and can be implemented by the use of microprocessors that are normally used in commercial processes mainly due to the simplicity of the residual generation block. Various design objectives including detection, isolation, estimation and compensation of instrument fault/or process fault are achievable with these schemes. The proposed FDI scheme is applied to an inverted pendulum control system for instrument fault detection.

A passive approach for enhancing fault detection and isolation performance of multiple observer based fault detection isolation schemes(FDIS) is proposed. The FDIS has a hierarchical framework to perform detection and isolation of faults of interest, and diagnosis of process faults. The decision unit comprises of a rule base and fuzzy inference engine and removes some difficulties of conventional decision unit which includes crisp logic and threshold values. Emphasis is placed on the design and evaluation methods of the diagnostic rule base. The suggested scheme is applied for the FDIS design for a DC motor driven centrifugal pump system.
