A triple-band antenna was developed and fabricated by LDS(Laser Direct Structuring) process. The effects of the plating rate and heat treatment condition were investigated and the gains of fabricated antennas were measured at various frequencies. The laser irradiated surface shows clearly that there are prominence and depression. It shows anchoring effect between a plating material and ablation surface. The plating rate was decreased when the plating material is exhausted in the solution. This solution needs to refreshed by the new aid solution. The copper plating thickness is decreased with the increase of heat treatment temperature in the same time but it does not change other condition. The gain of LDS antenna showed higher than the generally processed antenna. This result was related with practical use of the dimension and effective dielectric constant.

In this paper, We proposed a rectangular slot antenna with CPW feeder. Slot antennas fed by CPW are attractive due to the simple fabrication simplicity and ease of integration with active devices. This antenna consists of two parts, inner patch and outer patch to realize wide-band antenna by multi-frequency. Also, We fabricated a proposed rectangular slot antenna, confirm characteristics of multi-frequency by tuning antenna parameters, inner antenna's location and size. The experimental results show that each resonant frequency of a fabricated antenna is measured at almost 1, 9GHz, 2.8GHz, 3, 5GHz, 4, 9GHz. In radiation patterns each resonant frequency, radiation pattern 4-th resonant frequency is the same ad that of TM11 in patch antenna. Therefore, the experimental and theoretical results shows that a proposal rectangular slot antenna have triple resonant frequencies.

In this paper, the planar monopole antenna for multi-band service is proposed. The proposed antenna, which is a rectangular patch antenna with a U-shaped slit based on a monopole antenna for wide bandwidth characteristic, is designed and analyzed. The antenna size has been miniaturized by using the U-shaped slit. The frequency characteristics are modified and optimized by varying specific parameters. To obtain desired frequency bands, the U-shaped slit and patch lines have been applied. Whole antenna dimensions including the ground plane are $35{\times}50{\times}1\;mm^3$, and the antenna part size is $35{\times}27\;mm^2$. It is fabricated on the FR-4 substrate(${\epsilon}_r=4.4$) using a microstrip line of $50{\Omega}$ for impedance matching. For the measured results, the impedance bandwidth below a VSWR of 2 is 790~916 MHz, 1.74~2.14 GHz, and 2.36~3.13 GHz. The fabricated antenna is satisfied with the aimed impedance bandwidth in GSM/DCS/US-PCS/UMTS/Bluetooth/S-DMB applications.

The mechanical behavior of the polymeric material, HDPE depends on both time and temperature. The study of the tensile behavior at different strain rates is important in engineering design of the orthopedics device such as X-band plate. The mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of HDPE are strongly dependent on the applied strain rate. Generally, the deformation behavior of HDPE based on the stress-strain curve is complex because of the highly inhomogeneous nature of plastic deformation, particularly that of necking. Therefore, we attempted to determine the mechanical behavior of HDPE in this study. Normally, tensile testing under various strain rates of the HDPE has been used to determine the mechanical behavior. We performed tensile tests at various strain rates (1 to 500 %/min) to analyze the viscoelastic behavior on increasing the strain rate. A tensile stress-strain curve was plotted from the data, and the point of transition was marked to calculate the transition stress, strain, and modulus.

In this paper, we studied on-board antenna(primary link/secondary link/satellite link) used in UAV Data-link system. As a result, it is ideal to configure the Data-link as a triple link to secure the flight stability of the UAV, but the communication link should be configured according to the operating platform. As a result of overseas R&D trend analysis, the on-board Data-link antenna is installed and operated in a location where it is easy to secure LOS. The primary link consists of a directional antenna for basic operation and an omni-directional antenna for emergency operation. The secondary link uses a monopole/dipole antenna in the UHF/C band. Satellite link has been developed to apply phased array antenna to improve UAV operability.

Spiro-type orange phosphorescent host materials, 9-diphenylphosphine oxide-spiro[fluorene-7,9'-benzofluorene] (OPH-1P) and 5-diphenylphosphine oxide-spiro[fluorene-7,9'-benzofluorene] (OPH-2P) were successfully prepared by a lithiation reaction followed by a phosphination reaction with diphenylphosphinic chloride. The EL characteristics of OPH-1P and OPH-2P as orange host materials doped with iridium(III) bis(2-phenylquinoline)acetylacetonate ($Ir(pq)_2acac$) were evaluated. The electroluminescence spectra of the ITO (150 nm)/DNTPD (60 nm)/NPB (30 nm)/OPH-1P or OPH-2P: $Ir(pq)_2acac$ (30 nm)/BCP (5 nm)/$Alq_3$ (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm) devices show a narrow emission band with a full width at half maximum of 75 nm and $\lambda_{max}$ = 596 nm. The device obtained from OPH-1P doped with 3% $Ir(pq)_2acac$ showed an orange color purity of (0.580, 0.385) and an efficiency of (14 cd/A at 7.0 V). The ability of the OPH-P series to combine a high triple energy with a low operating voltage is attributed to the inductive effect of the P=O moieties and subsequent energy lowering of the LUMO, resulting in the enhancement of both the electron injection and transport in the device. The overall result is a device with an EQE > 8% at high brightness, but operating voltage of less than 6.4 V, as compared to the literature voltages of ~10 V.

In this paper, metal insulator metal (MIM) plasmonic slot cavity narrow band-pass filters (NBPFs) are studied. The metal and dielectric of the structures are silver (Ag) and air, respectively. To improve the quality factor and attenuation range, two novel NBPFs based on tapered structures and double cavity systems are proposed and numerically analyzed by using the two-dimensional (2-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The impact of different parameters on the transmission spectrum is scrutinized. We have shown that increasing the cavities' lengths increases the resonance wavelength in a linear relationship, and also increases the quality factor, and simultaneously the attenuation of the wave transmitted through the cavities. Furthermore, increasing the slope of tapers of the input and output waveguides decreases attenuation of the wave transmitted through the waveguide, but simultaneously decreases the quality factor, hence there should be a trade-off between loss and quality factor. However, the idea of adding tapers to the waveguides' discontinuities of the simple structure helps us to improve the device total performance, such as quality factor for the single cavity and attenuation range for the double cavity. According to the proposed NBPFs, two, three, and four-port power splitters functioning at 1320 nm and novel ultra-compact two-wavelength and triple-wavelength demultiplexers in the range of 1300-1550 nm are proposed and the impacts of different parameters on their performances are numerically investigated. The idea of using tapered waveguides at the structure discontinuities facilitates the design of ultra-compact demultiplexers and splitters.

The Hayabusa 2 mission target asteroid (162173) Ryugu is a near-Earth, carbonaceous (C-type) asteroid. Before the arrival, this asteroid is expected to be covered with mm- to cm- sized grains through the thermal infrared observations [1]. These grains are widely understood to be formed by past impacts with other celestial bodies and fractures induced by thermal fatigue [2]. However, the close-up images by the MASCOT lander showed lumpy boulders but no abundant fine grains [3]. Morota et al. suggested that there would be submillimeter particles on the top of these boulders but not resolved by Hayabusa 2's onboard instruments [4]. Hence, we conducted polarimetry of Ryugu to investigate microscopic grain sizes on its surface. Polarimetry is a powerful tool to estimate physical properties such as albedo and grain size. Especially, it is known that the maximum polarization degree (Pmax) and the geometric albedo (pV) show an empirical relationship depending on surface grain sizes [5]. We observed Ryugu from UT 2020 November 30 to December 10 at large phase angles (ranging from 78.5 to 89.7 degrees) to derive Pmax. We modified TRIPOL (Triple Range Imager and POLarimeter, [6]) to attach to the 1.8-m telescope at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO). With this instrument, we observed the asteroid and determined linear polarization degrees at the Rc-band filter. We obtained sufficient data sets from 7 nights at this observatory to determine the Pmax value, and collaborated with other observatories in Japan (i.e., Hokkaido University, Higashi-Hiroshima, and Nishi-Harima) to acquire linear polarization degrees of the asteroid from total 24 nights observations with large phase angle coverage (From 28 to 104 degrees). The observational results have been published in Kuroda et al. (2021) [7]. We thus found the dominance of submillimeter particles on the surface of Ryugu from the comparison with other meteorite samples from the campaign observation. In this presentation, we report our activity to modify the TRIPOL for the 1.8-m telescope and the polarimetric performance. We also examine the rotational variability of the polarization degree using the TRIPOL data.

A non-rare earth-based strontium-aluminate red light emitting phosphor was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method and the effect of synthesis temperature and Mn⁴⁺ activator concentration on the photoluminescence characteristics of the phosphor was studied. The synthesized SrAl₂O₄:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor showed broad band absorption characteristics in the near-ultraviolet and blue regions with peaks at wavelengths of near 330 and 460 nm, and a triple band deep red emission consisted of three peaks at near 644, 658, and 673 nm. The SrAl₂O₄:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor synthesized at a temperature 1600℃ and a Mn⁴⁺ activator concentration of 0.5 mol% showed the strongest PL emission intensity, and concentration quenching was observed at concentrations higher than 0.7 mol%. FE-SEM and DLS particle size distribution analysis showed that the synthesized SrAl₂O₄:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor had a particle size distribution of 2~6.4 ㎛ and an irregular spherical shape with an average particle size of ~4 ㎛.
