RF MEMS is a miniature device or an array of integration devices and mechanical components and fabricated with If batch-processing techniques. RF MEMS application area are in phased arrays and reconfigurable apertures for defence and telecommunication systems, switching network for satellite communication, and single-pole double throw switches for wireless application. Recently, RF MEMS switches have been developed for the application to the milimeter wave system. RF MEMS switches offer a substantilly higher performance than PM diode or FET switches. In this paper, SPDT(single-pole-double-throw) switch are designed to use 10 GHz. Actuation voltage and displacement are simulated by tool. And stress and distribution are simulated.

Due to the increasing variety and capacity of information and communication media, systems of microwave band communication have branched out extensively. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices fabricated FeSiB thin films on quartz substrate were deposited by RF magnetron sputter and by photolithographic processes. This device is with a center frequency 146MHz and the insertion loss as low as -43dB was obtained.

The ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance) Ar ion milling was manufactured to fabricate the device of thin film. The ECR ion milling system applied to the device etching operated by a power of 600W, a frequency of 2.45 GHz, and a wavelength of 12.24 cm and transferred by a designed waveguide. In order to match one resonant frequency, a magnetic field of 908 G was applied to a cavity inside of ECR. The Ar gas intruded into a cavity and created the discharged ion beam. The surface of target material was etched by the ion beam having an acceleration voltage of 1000 V. The formed devices with a width of $1{\mu}m{\sim}9{\mu}m$ on the GMR-SV (Giant magnetoresistance-spin valve) multilayer after three major processes such as photo lithography, ion milling, and electrode fabrication were observed by the optical microscope.

In this paper, we present the design and characterization of a power amplifier (PA) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) in the X-band. The device is designed using a 0.25 ㎛ gate length AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) on SiC process. The developed X-band AlGaN/GaN power amplifier MMIC achieves small signal gain of over 21.6 dB and output power more than 46.11 dBm (40.83 W) in the entire band of 9 GHz to 10 GHz. Its power added efficiency (PAE) is 43.09% ~ 44.47% and the chip dimensions are 3.6 mm × 4.3 mm. The generated output power density is 2.69 W/mm². It seems that the developed AlGaN/GaN power amplifier MMIC could be applicable to various X-band radar systems operating X-band.

In this paper, we propose the internal mobile antenna for TDMB and KPCS. The proposed antenna is made of different dielectric substrate and it has small size ($45{\times}8{\times}8\;mm$, about 2.8 cc) for mobile device. TDMB antenna is designed spiral structure that makes maximum current for each cell and KPCS antenna is PIFA that is usually used for internal antenna. In order to compensate length of resonance TDMB antenna has a large inductor above 100 nH. In this case, the inductor isolate KPCS signal at TDMB by cutting high frequency. Also the antenna has good isolation because TDMB radiator is parasitic element in KPCS band. We simulated the antenna by using CST microwave studio and measured performance of the antenna in anechoic chamber Proposed antenna has $-6{\sim}-14\;dBi$ gain for TDMB and $-3.5{\sim}-5\;dBi$ gain for KPCS.

Ferroelectric $(Ba_xSr_{1-x})TiO_3$ (BST) thin films have been deposited on (001) MgO single crystals by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The structure of deposited BST thin films were investigated by an x-ray diffractometer. Calculated c-axis lattice parameters of the BST films exhibit a strong lattice distortion, which was not observed in ceramic BST at room temperature. This lattice distortion of BST has been attributed to strains caused by lattice constant difference between film and substrate, oxygen vacancies in BST film, and thermal expansion difference between film and substrate. Ferroelectric properties at 10 GHz have been measured using a HP 8510C vector network analyzer. Dielectric properties, capacitance tunability and quality factor, of the interdigitaed capacitors fabricated on BST films were calculated from the measured s-parameters. Two distinct behaviors in structural, opitical, and microwave properties of BST films were observed; below and above 200 mTorr of oxygen pressure in the deposition chmber.

In this paper, a new method for detecting breast cancer is proposed, which utilizes dielectric characteristics of pathological tissues and time delay of back scattered response, and its feasibility was investigated. 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 and a good calibration signal are key elements of such detection system. Further study is ongoing to develop a commercial system.

Graphite electrodes are used for secondary batteries, fuel cells, and super capacitors. Research is underway to increased the reaction area of graphite electrodes used carbon nanotube (CNT) and porous carbon. CNT is limited to device utilization in order to used a metal catalyst by lack of surface area to improve. In contrast carbon nanowall (CNW) is chemically very stable. So this paper, microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system was used to grow carbon nanowall (CNW) on Si substrate with methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gases. To find the growth properties of CNW according to the reaction gas ratio, we have changed the methane to hydrogen gas ratios (4:1, 2:1, 1:2, and 1:4). The vertical and surficial conditions of the grown CNW according to the gas ratios were characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Raman spectroscopy measurements showed structure variations.

In this study. the microwave dielectric properties, such at dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_{\gamma}$), unloaded quality factor multiplied with resonant frequency($Q_{u}$.f), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_{f}$), were investigated for the low-temperature sintered (Pb, Ca)$ZrO_3$ with $V_2O_{5}$ additives as well as structural properties. As a result, (Pb,Ca)ZrO$_3$ with 0.2 wt% $V_2O_{5}$ additive, sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$, showed good properties like ${\varepsilon}_{\gamma}$ 109, $Q_{u}$.f 2736 GHz, and ${\tau}_{f}$ -2.94 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. Especially ${\tau}_{f}$ was much better than ($Pb_{0.63}Ca_{0.37}$)$ZrO_3$ of which ${\tau}_{f}$ was known to be + 13.4 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, so it seems to be applicated in micorowave device components.
