Resistive-change random access memory (ReRAM) device is one of the promising candidates owing to its simple structure, high scalability potential and low power operation. Many resistive switching devices using transition metal oxides materials such as NiO, Al2O3, ZnO, HfO2, $TiO_2$, have attracting increased attention in recent years as the next-generation nonvolatile memory. Among various transition metal oxides materials, HfO2 has been adopted as the gate dielectric in advanced Si devices. For this reason, it is advantageous to develop an HfO2-based ReRAM devices to leverage its compatibility with Si. However, the annealing temperature of these high-k thin films for a suitable resistive memory switching is high, so there are several reports for low temperature process including microwave irradiation. In this paper, we demonstrate the bipolar resistive switching characteristics in the microwave irradiation annealing processed Ag/HfO2/Pt ReRAM device. Compared to the as-deposited Ag/HfO2/Pt device, highly improved uniformity of resistance values and operating voltage were obtained from the micro wave annealing processed HfO2 ReRAM device. In addition, a stable DC endurance (>100 cycles) and a high data retention (>104 sec) were achieved.

To develop the grain moisture meter using microwave free space transmission technique, a 10.5GHz microwave signal with the power of 11mW generated by an oscillar with a dielectric resonator is transmitted to an isolator and radiated from a transmitting $2{\times}2$ microstrip patch array antenna into the sample holder filled with the 12 to 26%w.b. of Korean Hwawung paddy rice. the microwave signal, attenuated through the grain with moisture, is collected by a receiving $2{\times}2$ microstrip patch array antenna and detected using a Shottky diode with excellent high frequency characteristic. A pair of light and simple microstrip patch array antenna for measurement of grain moisture content is designed and implemented on atenflon substrate with trleative dielectric constant of 2.6 and thickness of 0.54 by using Ensemble ver. 4.02 software. The aperture of microstrip patch arrays is 41 mm width and 24mm high. The characteristics of microstrip patch antenna such as grain. return loss, and bandwidth are 11.35dBi, -38dB and 0.35GHz($50^{\circ}$ at far-field pattern of E and H plane. The width of the sample holder is large enough to cover the signal between the antennas temperature and bulk density respectively. The calibration model for measurement of grain moisture content is proposed to reduce the effects of fluectuations in bulk density and temperature which give serious errors for the measurements . From the results of regression analysis using the statistically analysis method, the moisture content of grain samples (MC(%)) is expressed in terms of the output voltage(v), temperature (t), and bulk density of samples(${\rho}b$)as follows ;$$MC(%)\;=\;(-3.9838{\times}10^{-8}{\times}v^{3}+8.023{\times}10^{-6}{\times}v^{2}-0.0011{\times}v-0.0004{\times}t+0.1706){\frac{1}{{\rho}b}}{\times}100$ Its determination coefficient, standard error of prediction(SEP) and bias were found to be 0.9855, 0.479%w.b. and -0.0.369 %w.b. respectively between measured and predicted moisture contents of the grain samples.

X-ray is currently most effective method in detecting small malignant breast tumors but has the several problems due to suppressing breast, ionizing radiation and not detecting small cancer. In this paper, a new method is proposed by using dielectric characteristics of pathological tissues and time delay of backscattered response. We have developed a detection algorithm and verified it by numerical simulation and measurement for a prototype system. For a prototype system, we have fabricated experimental model(artificial breast with a cancer) and UWB(ultra-wideband) antenna. The results of the measurement simulation show an excellent detection capability of a cancer tissue. It is found that a good UWB antenna is a key element of such detection system. Further study is ongoing to develop a commercial system.

In our research, We developed 14dB and 19dB directional couplers of DCS band. The good characteristics, the target insertion loss and high isolation, of couplers is obtained by LTCC processing using a ceramic material.

극초단파 영역에서 얇은 두께의 시료를 도파 관의 한 가운데 두었을 때 전송 법과 Automatic Network Analyzer를 이용하여 산란인자를 측정하였다. 파동의 전파상수를 구하기 위하여 복소수로 되어 있는 반사계수와 투과계수를 결정하고 이것으로 초월함수를 풀어 시료의 유전특성을 구하였다. 시료를 도파 관의 한 가운데 두고 산란인자를 측정하는 이 방법은 유전체와 도파 관 사이에 생길 수 있는 간격을 줄일 수 있고 시료를 쉽게 정착할 수 있다. 이 측정 방법은 대단히 간단하고 빨리 측정할 수 있으며 실험을 재생할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

Various nondestructive technologies for quality inspection of fruits and vegetables were reviewed through published literatures and selected agricultural databases. These technologies were grouped into nine categories, including acoustic response, dielectric response, machine vision, magnetic response, mechanical vibration response, microwave response, optical properties, and other possible sensing technologies. Their principles and characteristics were investigated and these technologies were presented with their current and potential applications. The link of appropriate nondestructive technologies with common principal quality parameters of fruits and vegetables was summarized.

The propagation characteristics in parallel plate waveguide with dielectric layer having periodic metal strip pattern are investigated. PIN diode ON/OFF states are regarded as the short and open circuit, respectively, in the simulation using CST's MWS. The $11.25^{\circ}$, $22.5^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$ layers which can be used for X-band 4-bit Radant lens phase shifter, are designed. The simulated results for each dielectric layer are $11.28^{\circ}$, $23.2^{\circ}$, and $46.22^{\circ}$, respectively. Also, the equivalent circuit of each layer at the operating band is realized and simulated using Agilent's ADS. The ADS simulated results are compared with the MWS simulated ones. Measured differential phase shills at the center frequency are $9.6^{\circ}$, $22.4^{\circ}$, and $43^{\circ}$, respectively.

Substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) constructed by two metal planes and conductive vias in a dielectric substrate, have all the conductors connected each other and hence, cannot be biased by DC sources. We propose a new folded corrugated substrate integrated waveguide(FCSIW) that can be DC-biased. Since the proposed FCSIW replaces the SIW conducting vias by folded open subs, it can supply the DC sources. The FCSIW has better transmission characteristics and 30 % less width than the common corrugated substrate integrated waveguide(CSIW) having a serious leakage generation problem. The FCSIW shows better insertion loss(1.49 dB) compared with that(3.08 dB) of the CSIW measured for 154 mm length devices and averaged at 9~15 GHz frequency band. No leakage has been observed from crosstalk measurements of the FCSIW.

In this paper the tuning characteristics of resonant frequencies are experimentally studied through the variation of the length of the inner conducting rod in a re-enterant eavity resonator. The re-enterant eavity resonator consists of a coaxial cable and a cylindrical wave guide. The length of the inner conducting rod can be varied to the longitudinal direction. The resonant frequencies of TMonq modes are measured according to the arbitrary length. In order to verify the propriety of experimental results, experimental results are compared with other theoretical results. The results in this paper can be applied to wave meter and resonant circuit of amplifier. They will be use to vary resonant frequencies of a dielectric resonator in MIC and filter.
