Ultrasonic sensors show various reception characteristics based on the density of the measurement medium; hence, they are used in various fields to benefit from the characteristics of ultrasonic signals. In this study, the reception characteristics according to the thickness of the first matching layer are compared and analyzed for application to gas tank microleak detection. Accordingly, three types of sensors are manufactured with varying thicknesses of the first matching layer, namely 4.8 mm, 5.1 mm, and 5.5 mm; further, a direct measurement method is used wherein the sensor is attached to the inside of the chamber. Experiments are conducted to observe the phase change due to microleakage, which is the most linear in the sensor with the 4.8 mm thick first matching layer. This is assumed to be the result of stable signal transmission and reception with little phase deviations over time because the first matching layer is closest to the ultrasonic wavelength. The other sensors show nonlinear results with increasing thickness of the first matching layer. Through this study, it is found that appropriately selecting the thickness of the first matching layer of the ultrasonic sensor can greatly influence sensor reliability.

The frequenc dependence of magnetic permeability($\mu$r) and dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r) in MHz-GHz frequency range and their relationships with microwave absorbing properties were investigated in sintered and composite Ni-Zn ferrites, respectively. It was confirmed that zero reflection condition was required the real parts of permeability and permittivity in sintered specimen, and the complex permeability, permittivity and dielectric loss tangent in composite specimen. The real part of permittivity varied with the replacement of nickel by manganese in sintered Ni-Zn ferrite. Therefore, we could control the matching frequency and matching thickness.

The characteristics of traveling-wave electrodes for high-frequency electroptic integrated devices are described from the view point of improvement of phase-matching based on the conformal mapping method. Specific calculations of the characteristic impedance, effective microwave index, and eletrode loss for asymmetric coplanar strip(ACPS) and coplanar waveguide(CPW) electrode structures are presented as a function of the geometric electrode parameters including the electrode thickness and buffer layer thickness. 5-10(x10S0-6Tm) thick Au-ACPS electrodes were successfully fabricated by electroplating and ECR etcher. The improvement of modulation bandwidth can be theoretically observed from the combination of electrode and buffer layer thickness.

The performance of ferrite composite microwave absorber has been evaluated as the matching frequency, the matching thickness and the band width. Especially, matching frequency is very important in application of microwave absorber because it determines operating frequency range. In this study, the ferrite composite microwave absorbers consisted Ni-Zn ferrite and Zn2Y ferroxplana were prepared in order to control matching frequency. Then, the variation of the material constants and microwave absorbing characteristics were investigated with various ferrite mixing ratio. The material constants of ferrite composite microwave absorber could be controlled by variation ferrite mixing ratio. Therefore, it was confirm that matching frequency of microwave absorber could be shifted by control of material constants.

We evaluated the accuracy of a patient setup error correction due to reference image quality for a 2D-2D matching process. Digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) generated by use of the Pinnacle3 and the Eclipse for various regions of a humanoid phantom and a patient for different CT slice thickness were employed as a reference images and kV X-ray Images from the On-Board Imager were registered to the reference DRRs. In comparison of the DRRs and profiles, DRR image quality was getting worse with an increase of CT image slice thickness. However there were only slight differences of setup errors evaluation between matching results for good and poor reference DRRs. Although DRR image quality did not strongly affect to the 2D-2D matching accuracy, there are still potential errors for matching procedure, therefore we recommend that DRR images are needed to be generated with less than 3mm slice thickness for 2D-2D matching.

A compact antenna switch module for GSM/DCS dual band applications based on multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate is presented. Its size is $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}0.8 mm^3$ and insertion loss is lower than 1.0 dB at Rx mode and 1.2 dB at Tx mode. To verify the stability of the developed module to the process window, each block that is diplexer, LPF's and bias circuit is measured by probing method in the variation with the thickness of ceramic layer and the correlation between each block is quantified by calculating the VSWR In the mean while, two types of bias circuits -lumped and distributed - are compared. The measurement of each block and the calculation of VSWR give good information on the behavior of full module. The reaction of diplexer to the thickness is similar to those of LPF's and bias circuit, which means good relative matching and low value of VSWR, so total insertion loss is maintained in quite wide range of the thickness of ceramic layer at both band. And lumped type bias circuit has smaller insertion itself and better correspondence with other circuit than distributed stripline structure. Evaluated ceramic module adopting lumped type bias circuit has low insertion loss and wider stability region of thickness over than 6um and this can be suitable for the mass production. Stability characterization by probing method can be applied widely to the development of ceramic modules with embedded passives in them.

The electromagnetic interference is prevented by the high magnetic loss of the ferrite. The absorbing property of electromagnetic wave could be improved by the ferrite that has a finer and more uniform microstructure. The thermal decomposition of organic acid salt provided the uniform composition and fine powder. The absorbing properties of electromagnetic wave were evaluated by the relative complex permeability, permittivity, and the attenuation which is calculated from the results of network analyzer. The permeability and permittivity were increased with increase of the density and with decrease of the grain size. The matching thickness could be reduced with increasing sintered temperature. The attenuation of the Cu-Ni-Zn ferrite showed over 20dB when the matching thickness and the matching frequency range were 6.75mm and from 160MHz to 640MHz, respectively.

A proper combination of complex permeability and permittivity is necessary to produce the zero-reflection microwave absorber with an impedance matching. Increasing of dielectric permittivity and development of an impedance matching was investigated in ferrite-rubber composite specimens by addition of conducting materials. Graphite powder of high dielectric constant was added to the composite specimens to increase the permittivity. The precise estimation of graphite content to produce the matched-wave-impedance absorber at a given frequency can be made by using the numerically derived solution map of impedance matching. It was suggested that permittivity adjustment is an effective technique to obtained the microwave absorber with both good absorbing properties and small thickness as well.

In this study, three kinds of Mn-Zn ferrite/Ni-Zn ferrite/$Ni_2Y$ ferroxplana prepared by the coprecipitation method was compounded with silicon rubber, and thereafter made ring-type specimens with various compositional ratio. The material constant of ferrite/rubber composite absorbers was obtaibed by the 2-port method. The material constants of the ferrite/rubber composite absorber with various compositional ratio of three kinds of ferrite were used to design the matching frequency and thickness with the impedance matching map. We were able to predict the matching condition from the design method.

In this paper, the 1/4 wavelength backward-wave directional coupler using coupled lines with finite metallization thickness is described. A mode-matching method, simple and fast approach to the quasi-static analysis, has been used to analyse this structure. The numerical results show that it is possible to overcome the disadvantages of weakly coupling, low directivity, and narrow strip distance non-realizable in the case of 1/4 wavelength backward-wave directional coupler with zero thickness conductor. It is also revealed that thicker metallization causes longer coupler length in the case of backward-wave symmetrical parallel coupled line directional coupler. The finite metallization thickness can be a new parameter for tight coupling in the design of backward-wave directional couplers, which enables us to design more accurate properties of monolithic microwave integrated circuits.
