KAIST-TOKAMAK에서 재현성이 좋은 저항가열 플라즈마를 발생시키는데 필요한 전이온화(pre-ionization)에 응용하기 위해 2.45 GHz 마그네트론을 사용하여 간편한 마이크로파 발생장치를 개발하였다. 장치에 사용한 마그네트론은 출력 500 W, 주파수 2.45 GHz이며, 일반적인 가정용 전자오븐(microwave oven)에 사용된다. 기존의 가정용 마그네트론은 음극(cathode)과 양극(anode)사이에 걸리는 고전압이 60 Hz의 주기를 갖기 때문에 약 16ms마다 약 8 ms 동안만 주기적으로 마이크로파를 발생한다. 이 마그네트론을 사용하여 토카막 전이온화에 충분할 정도로 연속적으로 발생되는 마이크로파를 얻기 위해서 음극과 양극사이에 개량된 회로로 리플전압이 작은 DC 고전압(5 kV 1 A)을 인가하였다. 본 논문에서는 주기적으로 생성.소멸하는 ECH 플라즈마와 연속적인 ECH 플라즈마를 발생시켜 랑뮈어탐침과 광증배관(PMT)을 이용한 이온 포화전류와 $H_\alpha$/ 방출(emission)을 측정하여 마이크로파 발생장치의 특성을 조사하였다.

Wireless power transmission technology has been studied variety. Recently, wireless power transmission technology used by resonance and magnetic induction field is applied to various fields. However, magnetic resonance and inductive coupling are have drawbacks - power transmission distance is short. Microwave transmission and accept techniques have been developed to overcome short distance. However, improvement in efficiency is required. This paper, propose a high-efficiency microwave energy acceptor IC(EAIC). Suggested EAIC is consists of RF-DC converter and DC-DC converter. Wide Input power range is -15 dBm ~ 20 dBm. And output voltage is boosted up to 5.5 V by voltage boost-up circuit. EAIC can keep the output voltage constant. Available efficiency of RF-DC converter is 95.5 % at 4 dBm input. And DC-DC efficiency is 94.79 % at 1.1 mA load current. Fully EAIC efficiency is 90.5 %.

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.

Discharge characteristics of linear microwave plasma were investigated by using fluid simulation of 2D axis-symmetry based on finite elements method. The microwave power was 2.45 GHz TEM mode and transmitted through linear antenna. Resistive power and pressure were considered simulation variables and argon was used for working gas. A decrease of electron density along the quartz tube was observed in low power condition but relatively uniform plasmas were generated in chamber by increasing the resistive power. The electron temperature was highly detected near the surface of quartz tube because the electron was heated only dielectric surface. The power transmission efficiency decreased and characteristics of surface plasma were observed in high electron density condition.

We have designed and fabricated two different RF-DC Converters called doubler for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. The doubler as RF-DC Converter makes the rectified voltage be doubled. We measured and compared voltages of the doublers with those of the previous full-wave rectifying RF-DC Converter. The doublers show rectified double voltages. However, the full-wave rectifying converter has a high efficiency due to the suppression of reflecting harmonics. The other fabricated doublers causes so many harmonics that they can't convert the low-power RF to the full DC. In this paper, we show that the different doublers doesn't double the rectifying voltages compared with those of the full-wave rectifying converter and give a reason about that.

마이크로파를 이용한 인삼으로부터 가용성 성분을 추출할 때의 용매(에탄올-물) 사용량, 고체 입자크기, 마이크로파 전력의 영향과 용매-인삼 혼합물의 마이크로파 가열 특성 및 팽윤도에 대하여 검토하였다. 용매와 인삼의 비는 6 : 1(vol. of solvent to mass of ginseng)이 적당하였고 인삼 입자는 작을수록 추출률이 높았으나 슬러리를 여과하여 여분의 용매를 분리하기가 매우 곤란하였다. 마이크로파 전력은 세기가 클수록 추출 속도는 빨라지나 추출률은 투입되는 전체 에너지양에 영향 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 마이크로파와 물중탕으로 가열한 인삼의 수분 흡수량으로부터 구한 질량기준 팽윤도는 마이크로파로 가열하였을 때 더 빠르게 일어났으며 이러한 결과가 마이크로파를 이용한 추출이 종래의 추출방법에 비하여 추출률이 높고 속도가 빨라지게 되는 요인일 것으로 판단되었다.

본 논문은 고출력 전자파에 따른 CMOS IC 소자의 피해 효과와 회복 시간을 알아보았다. 고출력 전자파 발생 장치는 마그네트론을 사용하였고, CMOS 인버터의 오동작/부동작 판별법은 유관 식별이 가능한 LED 회로로 구성하였다. 그리고 고출력 전자파에 의해 오동작된 CMOS 인버터의 전원 전류와 회복 시간을 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 전계 강도가 약 9.9 kV/m에서의 전원 전류는 정상 전류의 2.14배가 증가하였다. 이는 래치업에 의한 CMOS 인버터가 오작동된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, COMS 인버터의 파괴는 컴포넌트, 온칩와이어, 그리고 본딩 와이어에서 다른 형태로 관찰하였다 위 실험 결과로, 전자 장비의 고출력 전자파 장해에 대한 이해를 돕는데 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 예측된다.

Because lotus root has a short shelf life, the quality easily deteriorates. Thus, the harvested lotus roots are processed into a variety of products. Drying is one of the simplest food preservation methods, which can increase food stability. However, the convective drying method takes a long time and requires high energy consumption. Combination drying methods have emerged to overcome the limitations of the convective drying method. This study investigated the drying characteristics of lotus root and determined the optimal drying model of lotus root depending on the microwave and hot-air combination drying conditions. The lotus root slices (5 mm in thickness and 40 mm in diameter) were dried by different drying conditions that were combined with three microwave power levels (50, 100, and 150 W) and two hot air temperatures (50 and 60℃) at a velocity of 5 m·s^-1. Eight drying models were tested to evaluate the fit to the experimental drying data, and the effective moisture diffusion (D_eff) values of the lotus root slices dried by combination drying were estimated. The combination drying time of the lotus root was significantly reduced with the high air temperature and microwave power. The effective moisture diffusion (D_eff) of lotus root was more affected by the air temperature than microwave power intensity. Logarithmic model was most suitable to describe the drying curve of lotus root in the microwave-hot air combination drying method.

Methyl ester derived from coconut oil is very interesting to study since it contains free-fatty acid with chemical structure of medium carbon chain ($C_{12}-C_{14}$), so the methyl ester obtained from its part can be a biodiesel and another partially into biokerosene. The use of heterogeneous catalysts in the production of methyl ester requires severe conditions (high pressure and high temperature), while at low temperature and atmospheric conditions, yield of methyl ester is relatively very low. By using microwave irradiation trans-esterification reaction with heterogeneous catalysts, it is expected to be much faster and can give higher yields. Therefore, we studied the production of methyl ester from coconut oil using CaO catalyst assisted by microwave. Our aim was to find a kinetic model of methyl ester production through a transesterification process from coconut oil assisted by microwave using heterogeneous CaO catalyst. The experimental apparatus consisted of a batch reactor placed in a microwave oven equipped with a condenser, stirrer and temperature controllers. Batch process was conducted at atmospheric pressure with a variation of CaO catalyst concentration (0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0, 2.5%) and microwave power (100, 264 and 400 W). In general, the production process of methyl esters by heterogeneous catalyst will obtain three layers, wherein the first layer is the product of methyl ester, the second layer is glycerol and the third layer is the catalyst. The experimental results show that the yield of methyl ester increases along with the increase of microwave power, catalyst concentration and reaction time. Kinetic model of methyl ester production can be represented by the following equation: $-r_{TG}=1.7{\cdot}10^6{_e}{\frac{-43.86}{RT}}C_{TG}$.
