This paper is a study of a rain sensor using an open-ended coaxial cavity resonator which senses the amount of rain drops linearly. It shows that it will be used as a sensor to sense the amount of rain dropped on the windshield of an automobile based on the principle of varied resonant frequency and the loss according to the amount and characteristics of an dielectric lied on the open side of a resonator. The input and output ports are built in the both sides of the resonator and the input and output coupling probes are formed like 'ㄱ' shape. The response of rain drops were simulated by the radius of inner conductor of 2 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm respectively and it showed that the raindrop was sensed most linearly and sensitively when the radius of inner conductor is 5 mm, We have measured that the resonant frequency have varied from 3.55 GHz to 3 GHz and the Q value have varied from 42.38 to 24.3 according to the variation of rain drop amount on the fabricated resonator. Therefore, it shows that the designed resonator can be applied as a rain sensor that measures the amount of rain drops linearly by using the resonant frequency as a measurement parameter.

In this paper, We designed and fabricated C-band bandpass filter using dielectric resonators. From waveguide cutoff frequency which applied the region between adjacent dielectric resonators, the height of cavity is determined. The cavity's diameter is determined to the twice of dielectric resonator's diameter considering the conductor loss. The resonant frequency of the DR-cavity is calculated with travelling wave mode analysis. Conventionally, circular cylindrical dielectric resonator is analysed by Cohn's model which use the evanescent mode in the region between dielectric resonator wall and circular cavity wall, which is an approximated method. The external quality factor, Q$_{ex}$ has found with simulation result using Ansoft's Maxwell simulation tool. The designed filter using dielectric resonators with dielectric constant of 45 has the passband center at 5.065GHz. The bandpass filter using dielectric resonators have about 1dB insertion loss. 20MHz bandwidth and more than 30dB attenuation at f$_{0}$$\pm$15MHz.z.z.

This paper describes measurement method of dielectric properties of dielectric materials using cylindrical cavity resonator's. Dielectric properties of concern here are relative permittivity, loss- tangent, quality factor and so on. An analysis of $TE_{011}$mode in dielectric properties of concentric dielectric-rod inserted cylindrical cavity resonator is presented. The frequency variation by the air gap at $TE_{011}$ mode turns out to be the least sensitive. A technique using a $TE_{011}$ mode of concentric dielectric-rod inserted cylindrical cavity resonator and an exact field representation of neo non-decaying mode are introduced for measurement of dielectric properties.

The aeroacoustic phenomena in the simple rectangular open cavity are well published by many researchers. But the geometry shapes of aircraft landing gear wells, weapon bays, etc. are more complicate than that of the simple retangular cavity. They are more similar to the cavity having cover-plates at adges, or Helmholtz resonator. Therefore, the effects of cover-plates existing on edges of rectangular open cavity are numerically investigated in this paper. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two-dimensional cavities with laminar boundary layers upstream. The high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes are used for the evaluation of spatial derivatives and the time integration. Physically correct numerical boundary conditions and buffer zone techniques are implemented to produce time-accurate solutions in the whole computation domain. The computational domain is large enough to directly resolve a portion of the radiated acoustic field. Results show that the cover-plates existing on edges of cavity reduce the noise convected from cavity, make the frequency of noise become higher, and change the directivity pattern. So these results can be used in the design of a low noise cavity.

This letter presents a measurement methodology of the complex permittivity of liquid using a partially open cavity in narrow band. The partially open cavity (POC) can measure dielectric small changes caused by the temperature variation of the liquid inside the cavity as well. Using the resonance frequency and unloaded quality factor of the proposed POC, the complex permittivity is evaluated. The apertures on the walls of the cavity are designed to circulate the liquid inside to outside of the POC and located at the corner area of the cavity to minimize the disturbance of field distribution at the dominant mode. The results measured by the proposed POC were compared with those by the conventional open-ended probe and Cole-Cole equation. The POC showed better performance in measuring small dielectric constant changes than the open-ended probe.

To protect a satellite and electronic equipment from the acoustic loads generated by rocket propulsion system, many launch vehicle use acoustic blanket. Most high frequency region of the acoustic loads is reduced by nose fairing skins and acoustic barrier, but low frequency region is not. In order to control low frequency acoustic mode, we designed away resonator panel which was made of composite materials. This paper shows the absorption coefficient measurement result of resonator and SPL(Sound Pressure Level) reduction by using resonators in a rectangular cavity for experiment. Proper arrangement of acoustic resonators at each mode reduce effectively SPL around the satellite through changing boundary condition.

Low frequency exhaust noise of marine diesel engine is one of the most important noise sources in vessels. However, conventional absorptive silencers are limited because the absorptive material is not effective in low frequency range. In the paper, exhaust noise control of marine diesel engine has been studied by using the resonator type silencer, which was composed of concentric hole-cavity resonators. The acoustic performance of the resonator type silencer was verified by the insertion loss measurement considering flow effect. Consequently, its high performance, about $5{\sim}8dB$ noise reduction, in the low frequency range was confirmed by insertion loss measurements conducted in the ship.

With the increased requirement for automobile noise, a design fo mufflers with higher performances becomes more important in recent days. For a design of some mufflers, it must satisfy both minimizing back pressure and maximizing sound attenuation in broad range of frequecny. Even for a simple Helmholtz resonator, an important element in a muffler, a resonator design with accurate resonant frequency is difficult if one want to consider standing waves within the cavity. In this paper, the genetic algorithm, one of the optimization technique with high capability of global fittest solution and robust convergence, is applied to the design process of mufflers. Results show that the genetic algorithm can be successfully and efficiently used to find the fittest model for both mufflers and Helmoltz resonators.

We numerically investigate the characteristic of single Nd:YAG rod laser with the convex-plane resonator configuration in order to get the best condition for high efficient intra-cavity second harmonic generation(SHG). The beam quality is analyzed with ABCD matrixes including the thermal lensing characteristic of Nd:YAG rod. The analysis is focused on stability, M2, beam waist and mode-volume of laser beam inside the resonator. The best conditions for SHG is obtained when a laser rod is set near the curved laser mirror.

A method for suppressing unwanted resonance modes by attaching an electromagnetic wave absorber onto a metal case was studied to prevent performance deterioration of electronic devices. The electromagnetic wave absorber fabricated for this study had an attenuation characteristics above 20dB in the frequency band from 450MHz, 1150MHz. A rectangular cavity resonator whose resonance frequencies of TE$_{101}$, TE$_{102}$ modes were 900MHz, 1250MHz, respectively, was made to measure attenuation for the electromagnetic wave absorber-metal assembly. The result showed that the resonance mode for high attenuation was sensitive to the location of electromagnetic wave absorber, and the attenuation characteristics above 20dB could be obtained when electromagnetic wave absorber was properly positioned.
