Ribbed birch (Betula costata Trautv.), Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carr.), and tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), were used as experimental specimens to measure the sound absorption coefficient with various resonator types, regular resonator (Type-R), eccentric resonator (Type-E), aligned resonator (Type-A), and screwed resonator (Type-S). Resonators consisted of the simple perforation by hand drilling. Sound absorption performances of the resonators installed perforations were better than those of untreated specimens. They were varied with the resonator's type and wood species. Increased area by a wood screw gave no significant change on the sound absorption.

In this work, glucose solution and sodium chloride solution were distinguished noninvasively using a microwave complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR). Based on the electrical properties of the two solutions measured using a open-ended coaxial probe, a CSRR was designed and fabricated for operation at a specific frequency that facilitates differentiating the two solutions. Furthermore, a polydimethylsiloxane mold was fabricated to concentrate the solution at a region where the electric field of the resonator was strongest, and a laminating film was used to prevent contact between the solution and resonator. Experiments were performed by dropping $50{\mu}L$ of the solution in steps of 100 mg/dL up to a maximum human blood glucose level of 400 mg/dL. Our experiments confirmed that the transmission coefficients ($S_{21}$) of glucose solution and sodium chloride solution exhibit variations of -0.06 dB and 0.14 dB, respectively, per 100 mg/dL concentration change at the resonance frequency. Thus, the opposite trends in the variation of $S_{21}$ with change in the concentration of the two solutions can be used to distinguish between them.

In this paper, a planar transistor oscillator for X-band using a newly proposed L-shaped monopole slot resonator is proposed. For planar design, an L-shaped monopole slot with an open-end is used as a resonator for a transistor oscillator. As a result of the simulated design of the resonator in three stages, a high Q value of 1169.84 and a high insertion loss of 49.934 dB were identified. The results of the final design and manufactured oscillator measurements confirmed that the oscillation output is greater than 7 dBm and has good phase noise characteristics of -58 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. The proposed oscillator is planar and has the advantage of being directly applicable to microwave integrated circuit technology. It also has the advantage of being able to reduce its size as it can only be implemented in microstrip form without additional devices such as metal cavities and tuning screws in 3D structures, as in the case of a DRO (dielectric resonance oscillator).

A glucose biosensor using a microdisk resonator in polymeric waveguides was developed by observing either the shift in the resonant wavelength or the variation in the optical power. The deformation in the transfer curve of the vertically coupled resonator sensor resulting from the variation in the disk-to-ring coupling, which was incurred by the application of the target analyze, was suppressed. And the refractive index of the polymeric waveguide was devised to closely follow that of the analyze itself for enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensitivity and measurement range were observed to be respectively 0.14 pm/(mg/dL) and 1500 mg/dL (theoretically up to 4700 mg/dL, for the wavelength shift method and 0.04 dB/(mg/dU and 140 mg/dL the power variation scheme.

In this paper, the resonator with a parallel plate capacitor is newly proposed around sub-microwave frequency band and applied to earlobe for non-invasive glucose monitoring the human biological tissue. The capacitor including the earlobe as dielectric material is connected to inductive slot in the ground plane of the microstrip line. Based on the simulation, one port resonator circuit is designed and fabricated as a prototype. Three step glucose concentration levels(0, 250, 500 mg/dL) was tested, and its reflection coefficients($S_{11}$) were measured. Owing to high Q resonator more than 100, resonant frequency shift of about 9 MHz per glucose level of 250 mg/dL has been successfully measured. This proves that the proposed sensor is applicable to a blood glucose sensor.

This study deals with the effects of major geometric parameters on the sound wave output of a thermal acoustic system. The output power of the acoustic wave was dependent on the stack position, stack length, resonator tube length, and input power. In experiments, the maximum SPL was generated when the stack was placed between one-fourth to half, resonator and stack length were longer, and input power was increased. The frequency was recorded to be 437 and 885 Hz when the resonator tube length was 200 and 100 mm, respectively. Therefore, when the resonator tube length was shorter, a higher frequency was recorded.

In this study, Pb(La Ce)$TiO_3$ composition ceramics were manufactured for 20 MHz resonator application. Electromechanical coupling factor, mechanical quality factor and dynamic range of thickness vibration mode were measured as the variations of L/T(length/thickness) ratio of ceramic substrats. Mechanical quality factor and dynamic range of third overtone thickness vibration mode showed the highest value of 2,773 and 52.22 dB at specimen S4(l/t=12), respectively. The excellent temperature stability of resonant frequency suitable for resonator application was shown, regardless of thermal shock.

Background: We are developing L-band and S-band microwave dielectric absorption systems aiming novel dosimetry using DNAs, such as plasmid DNA and genomic DNA, and microwave technology. Materials and Methods: Each system is composed of a cavity resonator, analog signal generator, circulator, power meter, and oscilloscope. Since the cavity resonator is sensitive to temperature change, we have made great efforts to prevent the fluctuation of temperature. We have developed software for controlling and measurement. Results and Discussion: By using this system, we can measure the resonance frequency, f, and ${\Delta}Q$ (Q is a dimensionless parameter that describes how under-damped an oscillator or resonator is, and characterizes a resonator's bandwidth relative to its center frequency) within about 3 minutes with high accuracy. Conclusion: This system will be expected to be applicable to DNAs evaluations and to novel dosimetric system.

Abstract: RF Birdcage Resonator는 높은 자장 균질성과 신호 대 잡음비의 특성이 좋음으로 인해 MRI와 MRS 연구에 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 인체를 비롯한 동물실험을 위한 다양한 실험대상에 따라 코일의 크기를 예측하여 Birdcage Resonator를 개발하였다. Unloaded와 Loaded 상태에서의 전기적인 성향을 Lumped Element Circuit Theory를 따라 일반적인 분석을 하였을 뿐 아니라 실제적인 실험을 통한 분석도 하였다. Introduction: Birdcage Resonator 는 자장 균일성이 뛰어나고 신호대잡음비가 좋아 Magnetic Resonance Imaging과 Spectroscopy에 유용하게 사용되어지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 실험대상에 따른 여러 가지의 Birdcage Resonator를 개발하기 위해 Lumped Element Circuit Theory를 사용한 일반적인 이론적 방법론을 이용하여 코일을 분석하였을 뿐 아니라 실제 제작한 후 실험을 통한 실질적인 영상분석도 병행하여 진행하였다. Method: 실질적인 개발에 앞서 Lumped Element Circuit Theory를 통해 이론적인 분석으로부터 나온 여러 parameter들을 정리하였다. 제작 후 실험적인 분석은 Network Analyzer (HP 4195A, 미국)를 통한 1차적인 분석을 한 후 최종적으로 3T MRI 장비 (메디너스, 한국)에서 수행하였다. 제작된 Birdcage Resonator의 종류는 기본적으로 Low-Pass Filter를 적용한 12-column 구조이다. 각각의 직경과 element의 길이는 다음과 같다. 1) 직경 13cm, element의 길이 22cm, 2) 직경 15cm, element의 길이 22cm, 3) 직경 17 cm, element의 길이 25cm. Result and Discussion: 여러 parameter들을 이론적으로 계산하여 실제 Birdcage Resonator를 제작하여 실험적인 분석을 한 결과 많은 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그 이유는 이론적인 계산에서는 생각되지 않았던 요인들이 실제 제작에 있어서는 많은 영향을 미쳤기 때문인 것이다. Network Analyzer를 통한 1차적인 분석 후에도 실제의 Magnet Field내에서 또 다시 차이가 나는 것 또한 같은 이유에서이다. 그러므로 Birdcage Resonator 제작에 있어서 이러한 여러 요인들을 충분히 고려하여야 할 것이다.

A very small size BPF is realized using LTCC Multilayer technology. A λ/4 resonator with shunt-to-ground loaded capacitor is used to shorten resonator length and achieve higher qualityfactor. Also this resonator enable BPF to improve out-of-band rejection. Coupling coefficients between coupled stripline resonators and external qualityfactor of a resonator are derived and apply to the filter design. The measured results show a good agreement with the simulation.
