In this paper, dual-polarized antenna for UHF RFID reader has been described. Feeding network and antenna structure have been designed, such that both port isolation between transmitting and receiving port and cross-polarization be maximized, and overall antenna size be minimized as well. In addition, sequentially rotated feeding scheme has been adopted to secure axial ratio bandwidth in the circular polarization. Test results show 2.35 dBi antenna gain in 900 to 928 MHz frequency range and 150 MHz axial ratio bandwidth, respectively. And, the proposed antenna has a port isolation of -40 to -38 dB and a cross-polarization of -40 to -30 dB.

We report the performance of a four-element, 11.67 GHz, high-Tc superconducting (HTS) microstrip antenna array with corporate feed network and circular polarization for direct broadcasting satellite (DBS) system. Our array antennas were designed and built on a 0.5 mm thick MgO substrate. To compare the superconducting antennas with normal conducting counterpart, One antenna pattern was fabricated from gold thin film, and a second pattern was fabricated from $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) superconducting thin film. To improve the axial ratio of circularly polarized arrays, sequential rotation technique were used. Efficiency, radiation pattern, return loss and bandwidth were measured for both antennas at room temperature and at cryogenic temperature. The array produced good circular polarization, and the gain of the array at 77 K, relative to a copper array at room temperature was approximately 1.54 dB. The measured return loss of our HTS antenna array was 35.79 dB at the resonant frequency of 11.67 GHz and The total effective bandwidth was about 3.4 %. The results showed that high-temperature superconductors, when used in microstrip arrays, improved the efficiency of the HTS antenna array for circularly polarization.

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) restrict the bend-width of single mode optical filer, and it is important parameter in the optical fiber having long-length. Although fiber has perfect circular symmetry, fiber bending, twisting and laws governing manufacture cause additional Polarization mode dispersion. The effect of polarization mode dispersion in general single mode fiber of long length is discussed in this paper. Measurement of PMD with random mode coupling were conducted in two kind of fibers using different laws governing manufacture and interferometric method.

In this paper, cross-aperture coupled microstrip circular polarization antenna is proposed for 5.8 GHz WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network). A single antenna consists of square patch and slots are located in series feed line with $\lambda_g$/4 phase different which make current direction maximum and minimum repeatedly to generate RHCP(Right Handed Circularly Polarization). We are proposed new structure that removed the section which intersected at a right angle and were composed to four separated slots. The proposed cross slots reduce back lobe of radiation pattern and improve antenna gain. Impedance bandwidth of the manufactured $2\times2$ array antenna is from 5.67 to 5.95 GHz and the maximum radiation gain is 10.59 dBi.

In this paper, a single arm spiral antenna has been investigated about the characteristics of polarization and tilt beam. If a circumference length of spiral is bigger than a wavelength, it have a characteristic of varying maximum radiation beam direction. In addition, circular polarizations (RHCP, LHCP) can be variable by the feeding points (inner, outer). Also maximum beam directions tilt in different direction according to the circular polarizations, LHCP and RHCP. These characteristics of single arm spiral antenna are able to apply in the beam forming, diversity, MIMO application which has dual polarization using an antenna element.

In this paper, the miniaturized the linear polarization and the circular polarization microstrip antennas, which are the two ends in the resonance length direction or all the four-ends were folded are designed and fabricated at the resonant frequency of 1.575 GHz(fur GPS system). For the linear polarization microstrip antenna, the antenna was bent. downward so that the visible length(=L) was reduced by $31.7\%(\varepsilon_r=1.06)$. The folded antenna was folded toward the center of the antenna once again. In this case, the visible length reduction rate, gain, -10 dB bandwidth, E-plane and H-plane HPBW were $73.9\%$, 5.12 dBd, $64MHz(4\%),\;151^{\circ}\;and\;79.2^{\circ}$, respectively. For the circular polarization microstrip antenna, the folded structure of the linear polarization antenna was applied to all the few directions. For the most efficiency the folded bottom surfaces were designed in a triangular shape. In this case, the visible area reduction rate, gain, -10 dB bandwidth, and HPBW in horizontal polarization of the z-x plane and the z-y plane were $71.5\%,\;3.96dBd,\;84MHz(5.3\%),\;80.6^{\circ}\;and\;82.1^{\circ}$, respectively. Therefore, we have confirmed that the folded structure is suitable fer the miniaturization of the microstrip antenna.

Cervical dysplasia induces morphologic changes in the cervical epithelium which involve changes in the nuclear/cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio. Since the nucleus is one of the significant scattering sources, the N/C ratio change reflects the degree of circular polarization (DOCP) with the depth of signals. Therefore, we used the polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT) technique to measure the polarization changes caused by scattering. Cervical tissues were obtained from a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (H-SIL) of one woman and from low normal women. We obtained the mean of the DOCP as a function of depth in the cervix and quantified the change ratio of the DOCP using slopes that were determined by linear fits in the epithelium layer. We found that DOCP of H-SIL decayed faster than that of normal tissue because of the higher scattering in H-SIL as expected. This result indicates that the PS-OCT system might be useful in measurements of change ratio of DOCP with depth for screening of cervical dysplasia.

In this paper, the miniaturized linear and circular polarization microstrip antennas are designed and fabricated at the resonant frequency of 1.575 GHz. To miniaturize the microstrip patch antenna(MPA), the 'L' type plates are attached under the rectangular microstrip patch. In case of the linear polarization, the size of the microstrip antenna attached the 14 plates is reduced to $67.9\%(47mm{\times}47mm)$ compared with general $MPA(83mm{\times}83mm)$. The return loss and -10 dB bandwidth are -34.4 dB and 49 $MHz(3.1\%)$. And the radiation pattern is broad through the size reduction of the patch. Also in case of the circular polarization, the size of the microstrip antenna with 13 plates is reduced to $54.6\%(53mm{\times}54mm)$ compared with the general $MPA(76mm{\times}83mm)$. The axial ratio is 1.37dB at 1.575 GHz, the 2 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 14 $MHz(0.8\%)$. As that result, we could confirm that 3-dimensional structure with attached 'L' shaped plate is proper form for the miniaturization of linear and circular polarization microstrip antenna.

The effects of twist induced birefringence on the polarization properties of Er and Nd fiber laser with a linear type cavity were experimentally observed and theoretically analyzed. As the twist rate increases, the polarization states of the polarization eigenmodes are found to be always linear, and their frequencies gradually coincide with each other, and their polarization directions rotate at about half of twist rate at large twist rates.
