In this paper, the design of asymmetric branch line couplers using artificial dielectric substrate (ADS) is described. The effective permittivity and permeability increase in ADS because of the lots of the inserted via-holes. So the physical length and width of transmission lines realized on ADS are reduced compared to the standard lines. This enables one to design size-reduced microwave circuits. As an instance in this work, an asymmetric branch line coupler with the ratio of 3:1 is designed at 2GHz. The designed coupler has a small size of 53.4% compared to the normal circuit while the same performances are preserved. A good agreement between the simulated and measured asymmetric power dividing ratio is shown. The measured loss is only less than 0.2dB, which is a very small value.

In this paper, single, two, and three-section microstrip directional couplers are implemented for realizing the high directivity characteristics. The achievement of the high directivity with microstrip configuration is carried out by the distributed capacitor to decrease the even and odd mode phase difference. Capacitive compensation is performed by gap coupling of open stub formed in sub-coupled line. Therefore, insertion loss and power handling capability are not affected by the gap coupling. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate and incorporate another microwave device due to the planner microstrip. We designed and fabricated single, two, and three-section directional coupler with 20 ㏈ coupling. In spite of microstrip structure, the capacitive compensation structure shows 30 ㏈, 27 ㏈, and 25 ㏈ of directivity in single, two, and three-section directional couplers, respectively.

The analysis of coal ash is very important to predict some factors, such as slagging and fouling in the boiler, and to determine optimum mixing ratios of the each coals used. In ASTM, the analysis of coal ash is clarified to use lithium metaborate (LiBO$_2$) as a fluxing agent and then to analyze the pre-treated samples using AAS. However, it takes too much time and efforts to analyze many samples by ASTM method, as a result, this method is not proper in our laboratory in charge of analyses of all power plants. So we tried to establish more convenient and accurate analytical method of coal ash by 3 different methods which are 2 different pre-treatment methods (fusion dissolution and microwave digestion) and XRF analysis method using a clear pellet. Although all 3 methods can be utilized to analyze the major elements of coal ash, each method has its own characteristics, therefore, each method should be chosen according to its own purpose.

The 2011 August 09 Flare is one of the largest X-ray flares of Sunspot Cycle 24 to attract a lot of attention for its various activities detected in coronal images. In this study we concern ourselves mostly on information of high energy electrons produced during this flare provided by hard X ray data from the Reuven Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and radio data from the Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL) and Ondrejov. EUV images obtained by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory are used to provide the context of magnetic reconnection. In our results, (1) HXR spectra have a rich spectral morphology. Initially it could be fit by one thermal component (T~30MK) and one single power law nonthermal spectrum, but later a better fit could be made by introducing an additional thermal component (T~55 MK). (2) Time delays between the KSRBL burst and the RHESSI hard X-ray emission were found which are more obvious at low frequencies and insignificant at high frequencies. (3) The HXR source lies in the core of the quadrupolar active region. In our interpretation based on AIA 94 A images, the outer part of the active region erupted to be blown out, leaving the intense hard X-ray emission concentrated in the core. We relate the appearance of the second thermal component to the evolution of the AIA 171 and 94 A images. The time delays of microwave peaks to HXR peaks are interpreted as indicating presence of trapped electrons in larger closed magnetic loops. With these result we conclude that the hard X ray and microwaves are due to impulsive acceleration in the low and high heights and a sigmoidal reconnection scenario.

The use of slurry with a mix of abrasives and coolant for making Wire Saw in the photovoltaic industry has sharply increased with the semiconductor wafer. In this paper, the slurry was isolated, purified and dried by microwave drying method with high-purity silicon carbide powder obtained through chemical processing. Dried slurry bulk was first pulverized and chemical treatment was applied to produce powder. The produced slurry powder was then analyzed by going through the following analysis; thermal analysis, particle size analyses: SEM shots, elemental analysis, XRF and XRD. The results of this study found the recovery rate of the power obtained though the chemical processing to be higher than the one obtained from mineral processing. The results anticipate infrastructure building and active responses to increasingly stronger domestic and international environmental regulations through the integration and recycling of large amounts of slurry in the photovoltaic industry.

Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) is a powerful and well established microwave remote sensing technique which enables high resolution measurement of Earth surface independent of weather conditions and sunlight illumination. KARI has been developing the first Korea SAR satellite which is scheduled to be launched in this year. The SAR satellite mainly consists of the bus platform and SAR payload. Most of all, the RF compatible design during the design phase and the verification of the RF compatibility during the testing phase is very important procedure for the in-orbit performance guarantee because the SAR payload radiates high power through the SAR antenna. In this study, the SAR satellite design criteria and verification procedure for the RF compatibility are described. In addition, this paper describes the RF full radiation testing (RF auto-compatibility testing) for the verification of the RF performance robustness, the testing configuration, and the test results.

In this paper, we describe a single-gate MESFET mixer at PCS(Personal Communication Service) frequency band. The PCS frequency band is 1965~2025 MHz in FR and 140 MHz in IF irrespectly. The design of the mixer was executed by microwave simulator, EEsof Libra. The matching network is consisted of rectangular inductor, MIM capacitor and open stub. The ma- nufacture work was accomplished by the micro-pen and wedge-bonder. The mixer showed $6.69\pm0.65$ dB of conversion gain, $-14.9\pm3.5$dB of RF reflection coefficient and 57.83 dB of LO/IF isolation at 10 dBm of LO power when LO frequency is 1855 MHz. When this mixer is used at PCS terminal, IF-amplifier which compensates the conversion loss of diode mixer may be omitted.

Due to the rapid development of wireless networking system, researches on the communication devices are mainly focus on microwave frequency devices such as filters, resonators, and phase shifters. Among them, Film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) has been paid extensive attentions for their high performance. In this research, ZnO thin films were deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering on Al/$SiO_2$/Si wafer and then crystalline properties and surface morphology were examined. To measure crystalline structure and surface morphology X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were employed. It was showed that crystalline properties of ZnO thin films were strongly dependant on the deposition conditions. As increasing the deposition temperature and the deposition pressures, the peak intensities of ZnO(002) plane were increased until $300^{\circ}C$, then decreased rapidly. At the sputtering conditions of RF power of 213 W and working pressure of 15 m Torr, ZnO film had excellent c-axis orientation, surface morphology, and adhesion to the substrate. In conclusion we optimized smooth surface with very small grains as well as highly c-axis oriented ZnO film for FBAR applications.
