In this paper, we present design results for an orthomode transducer(OMT) to be used in multi-band antenna feeds. The OMT is realized in the form of a tapered square waveguide, where 18-20 GHz ports are placed in the taper region normal to the waveguide axis, while 30-45 GHz ports are placed in line with the waveguide axis. The reflection coefficient of each port is designed to be less than 20 dB, while the isolation between ports are greater than 15 dB. Thin septa are placed in side ports to reduce the effect of side ports on the return loss of the in-line port. The commercial software HFSS？ is used to design the whole structure.

A full-polarimetric scatterometer(HPS: Hongik Polarimetric Scatterometer) for X-band is designed, fabricated, and verified using the theoretically well-known point-targets in this paper. The X-band full-polarimetric scatterometer consists of an OMT(Orthogonal-Mode Transducer)+horn antenna, the angle control part for the OMT+horn antenna, a transmitter/receiver with a network analyzer and a frequency-conversion circuitry, and a movable support of these parts. We use an inclinometer sensor to control the vertical and horizontal incidence angles. The full polarimetric data can be obtained because of the polarization switches and the OMT. The accuracy of the scatterometer system is verified by measuring the polarimetric RCS(Radar Cross Section) of one of the theoretically well-known point-targets, i.e., a corner reflector.

A simple orthogonal mode transducer(OMT) for X-band has been proposed in this paper. This OMT is designed such that a polarized wave can be guided in a direction using several thin guiding posts, and the other orthogonally polarized wave can be guided in the other direction using other thin guiding posts. The OMT consists of a T-shaped waveguide section with guiding posts, two tapering waveguide arms, and has three flanges for connection with two adapters and an antenna. The optimum numbers and the optimum positions of the guiding posts were obtained numerically using the HFSS CAD tool. The isolation between two polarizations in a manufactured OMT is higher than 42.8 dB and the reflection from the OMT is lower than -17.5 dB at the frequency band of 9.5 GHz

A new frequency-modulated m-sequence correlation technique was described. It has. been seen that the frequency modulation scheme leads to higher signal-to-noise ratio than direct sequencing and less hardware effort than PSK modulation scheme. The operating frequency of the correlation system was deduced. The optimal frequency for the frequency-modulated m-sequence correlation system should be 1.35 times of the center frequency of the transducer. The application of this correlation technique to electromagnetic ultrasonic system was computer-simulated.

Among various kinds of hearing aids which have been developed so far. the conventional air conduction hearing aids have some problems such as the acoustic distortion, an howling effect due to acoustic feedback. Another type of hearing aid. the cochlear implant system can be applied to the profound imparied person. However. it shows the disadvantage that there is no possibility of recovery of the acoustic organ such as ossicle. On the other hand. the implantable middle ear heaving device directly vibratos the ossicular chain and has better sound qualify. good cosmetics for appearance. and wide frequency responses so that it can overcome the defects or the conventional hearing aids. In this paper, a mathematical modeling and a momentum equation derivation of the DET has been performed. For the optimization of the structure dimension generating maximal vibrating force of the DET. the computer simulation using a finite element analysis (FEA) software has been performed. Also. the vibrating transducer has been designed to make the frequency characteristics or the transducer be similar to those of the normal middle ear. Through the experimental results, the measured vibration characteristics of the DET has been evaluated to verify the performance for the application to implantable middle ear hearing devices.

In this paper a new type of piezoelectric floating mass type transducer (PFMT) which has advantages of the piezoelectric transducers and the electromagnetic ones has been proposed and designed. To evaluate the frequency characteristics of the PFMT, the finite element analysis and the acoustic simulation of transducer have been performed. The designed PFMT was implemented by a precision manufacturing and the vibration characteristics of the PFMT were measured. Through the measured results from various experiments, it is verified that the implemented PFMT can be used in implantable middle ear hearing devices.

A simple and low cost stylus profiler made of ferrite cores is developed. The devised profiler consists of a contact probe, a measuring transducer, a signal processing unit, and a motorized stage. The contact probe attached to 4-bar spring maintains sufficient stiffness to protect disturbances. An overlap-area type inductive position sensing system is selected as a measuring transducer, which has high sensitivity, repeatability and linearity. The transducer is composed of coil bundles and ferrite cores which have good electromagnetic characteristics in spite of low cost. The repeatability of the profiler with the proposed inductive sensing system is better than 50nm. Experimental results are shown that the proposed profiler can measure the line or 3D profile of an object with sub-micron features.

In this paper, Electret is formed to range voltage -5[kV] to -8[kV] by corona charging in PTFE film and sensor is manufactured by method of moments in sensing infra sonic. Charges of charged film are calculated also TSC measurement and induced potential of sensing electrode according to the charges is become aware of computer simulation.

Because sensitivity that measured under 10[Hz] is that average value of sensitivity rising rate is 6.34 [dB/oct] as average value is $\pm$1 [dB/oct] range -5[kV] to -8[kV] in corona charging film. As a result, it is believed that characteristic of acquired transducer can be application of medical treatment, industry, and animal life researches and the study of noise elimination, what's more, is required.

This paper describes the flexible force sensor using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and silicone rubber for the tactile sensation to detect the distributed normal force. The newly designed FBG flexible force has simple structure and can be easily multiplexed with simple wiring compared with the other electric mechanical sensors. We designed the flexible silicone rubber transducer and found the optimum embedding position of FBG in the transducer using the finite element analysis. This flexible force sensor has good performance and is immunity to the electromagnetic field compared with any other kinds of small force sensors for tactile sensation.

This paper describes the design and analysis of vibration driven cylindric electromagnetic energy harvester. The proposed harvester consists with spring, coil and rear earth magnet. The design utilizes an electromagnetic transducer and its operating principle is based on the relative movement of a magnet pole with respect to a coil. In order to optimal design and analysis, ANSYS FEA (Finite Elements Analysis) and Matlab model were used to predict the magnetic filed density with vibration and the generated maximum output power with load resistance. The system was designed for 6 Hz of natural frequency and spring constant was 39.48 N/m between 2 mm and 6 mm of displacement in moving magnet. When moving magnet of system was oscillated, each model was obtained that induced voltage in the coil was generated 2.275 Vpp, 2.334 Vpp and 2.384 Vpp, respectively. Then maximum output powers of system at load resistance ($1303{\Omega}$) were generated $124.2{\sim}132.2\;{\mu}W$ during magnets input displacement of 3 mm and 6 Hz periodic oscillation.
