Aperture-coupled circular polarization microstrip array antenna is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is useful for 2.4GHz ISM band and its aperture shape is a modified H-slot. The optimal design parameters for the antenna structure is found by using electromagnetic analysis tool HFSS repeatedly. The HFSS simulation results, such as return loss, axial ratio, radiation pattern and gain of the proposed array antenna are compared with results of the single antenna. It is able to verify that the proposed array antenna is valuable enough to be used in various applications as well as 2.4GHz ISM band.

We propose a simple ultraviolet (UV) sensor consisting of a conventional single-mode optical fiber capped with an azobenzene-moiety-containing polymer. The UV light changes the dimensions of the azobenzene polymer, as well as the refractive index of the material. Incident light with a wavelength of 1550 nm was reflected at the fiber/polymer and polymer/air interfaces, and interference of the reflected beams resulted in spectral interference that shifted the wavelength by 0.78 nm at a UV input power of $2.5mW/cm^2$. The UV sensor's response to wavelength is nonlinear and stable. The response speed of the sensor is limited by detection noise, which can be improved by modifying the insertion loss of the UV sensor and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection system. The proposed compact UV sensor is easy to fabricate, is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and only reacts to UV light.

The new periodic array structure or frequency selective surface with polarizers characteristic is proposed. The present structure is constructed with two sheets or FSS material, spaced about one-eight wavelength apart, the dipole element orientations of the two sheets being almost perpendicular to each other. The methods of the spectral domain immittance and MoM are used to analyze electromagnetic scattering from this periodic array structure. To confirm the validity of the polrizer's functions or the new periodic array structure, frequency selective surfaces are fabricated, calculated values for the frequency response of the reflection and transmission loss are compared with measured values. Good correspondence has been observed between them. Good axial ratio has been also observed to be achieved in the proposed structure.

In many applications of inverter system, it is desirable to obtain an AC output voltage with variable frequency and amplitude. For the variable-speed AC motor drive, the system is one major area of application for the variable-frequency inverter. V ariable~voltage variable-frequency sinusoidal output in three-phase inverter is possible by employing the techniques developed. In this paper, the technique of particular harmonics elimination(PHE) in three-phase PWM inverter-output waveforms is introduced. The required switching patterns are determind on personal computer. Results are stored in look-up table in EPROM and used to control the switching of the inverter devices. The experimental results indicate that the loss in an induction motor is minimized to a degree by using this algorithm. The proposed PWM pattern is effective not only to the induction motor but also to the other electromagnetic machine such as Voltage Regulator, UPS.

Planar electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter has significant engineering significance to power electronic system integration and miniaturization. However, the value of differential mode capacitance cannot meet the demand of noise suppression because of the size limit of ceramics. In this case, the EMI filter of novel multilayers is recommended to address this issue. A novel integrated structure of EMI filter based on multilayer ceramic is proposed in this study. The inductance and capacitance of the new structure can be designed separately, which is an advantage in manufacturing. Insertion loss is measured more closely to the actual situation in this study, which is different from the condition where source and load impedances are both 50 Ω. In the process of designing a novel EMI filter, noise impedance is considered. Moreover, the prototype is created and applied to a small switching power supply, which verifies the effectiveness of the developed EMI filter.

Polyaniline-yttrium trioxide (PAni-$Y_2O_3$) composites were synthesized by the in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of $Y_2O_3$ The composite formation and structural changes in these composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The direct current (DC) electrical conductivity of the order of $0.51{\times}10^{-2}\;S\;cm^{-1}-0.283\;S\;cm^{-1}$ in the temperature range 300 K-473 K indicates semiconducting behavior of the composites. Room temperature AC conductivity and dielectric response of the composites were studied in the frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. The variation of AC conductivity with frequency obeyed the power law, which decreased with increasing weight percentage (wt %) of $Y_2O_3$. Studies on dielectric properties shows the relaxation contribution coupled by electrode polarization effect. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss in these composites depend on the content of $Y_2O_3$ with a percolation threshold at 20 wt % of $Y_2O_3$ in PAni. Electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of the composites in the frequency range 100 Hz to 2 GHz was in the practically useful range of -12.2 dB to -17.2 dB. The observed electrical and shielding properties were attributed to the interaction of $Y_2O_3$ particles with the PAni molecular chains.

Wireless communication systems are inevitable for efficient underwater activities. Because of the poor propagation characteristics of light and electromagnetic waves, acoustic waves are generally used for the underwater wireless communication. Although there are many kinds of information type, visual images take an essential role especially for search and identification activities. For this reason, we developed an acoustic-based underwater image transmission system under a dual use technology project supported by MOCIE (Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy). For the application to complicated and time-varying underwater environments all-digital transmitter and receiver systems are investigated. Array acoustic transducers are used at the receiver, which have the center frequency of 32kHz and the bandwidth of 4kHz. To improve transmission speed and quality, various algorithms and systems are used. The system design techniques will be discussed in detail including image compression/ decompression system, adaptive beam- forming, fast RLS adaptive equalizer, ${\partial}/4$ QPSK (Quadrilateral Phase Shift Keying) modulator/demodulator, and convolution coding/ Viterbi.

In order to obtain guidelines for design and operation of a new plasma source by a magnetic neutral loop discharge(NLD), the electron behavior was studied experimentally and numerically. Experimentally, the magnetic field gradient was changed over a wide range, and it was found that there existed an optimum value for efficient plasma production. Analyses of the electron behavior were performed using a model that included effects of a three dimensional electromagnetic field configuration considering the spatial decay of the electric field, and the limitation to the motion of electron caused by the existence of walls and thus electron loss at wall surfaces. These three dimensional factors were found to explain the existence of the optimum magnetic field gradient. It was shown that the L dependence of the plasma production efficiency was firstly decided by the finite decay length of the electric field strength, which was further modified by electron elastic collisions with neutral atoms which drove the electron to walls. The latter effect tends to reduce the optimum value of L.

This paper proposes the 2nd-order SDSDM (Space Dithered Sigma-Delta Modulation) for performance improvement of a buck converter. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) has a drawback in that power spectrum tends to be concentrated around the switching frequency. The resulting harmonic spikes cause a EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) and switching loss in semiconductor, etc. The 1st-order SDSDM scheme is a kind of DSDM for reducing these harmonic spikes. In this scheme, a switching frequency is spread through random dither generator placed on input part. In experimental result, the proposed 2nd-order SDSDM is confirmed by applying to a buck converter.

In recent, there have been several developments in lamp technology that promise savings in electrical power consumption and improved quality of the lighting space. Above all, the advantage of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. The ring-shaped electrodeless lamp is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. Therefore, the life time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours. In this paper, we present measurement results of electrical characteristics of a ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp as a function of frequency and number of coil turns using a highly permeable Mn-Zn ferrite. It is found that the impedance are increased while the quality factor decreases as frequency increases.
