The three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the two-dimensional quasi-static formulation have been used to calculate the characteristic impedance and the microwave effective index of coplanar waveguide structures on Lithium Niobate ($LiNBO_3$) single crystal substrates with a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) or $SiO_2$ buffer layer. The results shown can be a good source to predict the modulator characteristics. The effects of the thin buffer layer and anisotropy of the $LiNBO_3$ crystal (x-cut and z-cut) are discussed. The comparison between the FDTD and quasi-static results shows good agreement. In this paper, the efficient modeling technique of the FDTD method for the coplanar waveguide (CPW) structures based on an anisotropic substrate with a thin buffer layer is developed.

상수도 누수로 인한 우리나라 수자원의 고갈 때문에 효율적으로 누수를 탐지할 수 있는 방법이 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 지하탐사 레이더(GPR) 기법을 이용하여 누수지점을 탐사하였다. 메탄올이 채워진 아크릴 상자로 누수가 일어난 영역을 구현한 후, 본 실험실에 구축된 GPR 시스템을 사용하여 scale-down 실험을 수행하였다. 본 GPR실험의 타당성은 측정결과가 동일한 상황에서의 FDTD 계산 결과와 거의 일치함을 보임으로써 확인하였다. 누수 분포에 따른 B-scan 영상들을 제시함으로써 GPR 시스템의 누수탐지 가능성을 살펴보았다.

PBG 구조의 메타물질 설계시 패턴 형태와 배열 구조에 따른 금지대역(bandgap)을 정확하게 설계하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 배열구조로 어떤 모양의 패턴에 대해서도 빠르고 정확하게 원하는 금지대역을 설계할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 2차원 평면상의 메타물질 구조는 주기배열로 이루어져 있기 때문에 FDTD 수치해석 방법에 주기경계조건을 부여함으로서 계산영역을 줄였다. 또한 각 패턴이 갖는 L, C 값을 2차원적으로 고려하여 계산하였기 때문에 보다 정확한 설계가 가능하였다. 5GHz 대역에서 정사각형 패턴을 갖는 메타물질을 설계하여 기존의 마이크로스트립 선로를 이용한 1차원 메타물질 해석 값과 비교하였을 때 정확도가 평균적으로 14.7% 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated plasmon effects to maximize the sterilization of dielectric discharge. We predicted the effect using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method as a function of electrode shape, size, and period. The structure of the electrode was designed with a thickness of 100 nm of silver nanoparticles on a glass substrate, and was varied according to the shape, size, and period of the electrode hole. Based on the results, it was confirmed that the effect of plasmons was independent of the shape of the electrode hole. It was thus confirmed that the plasmon effect depended only on the size and period of the holes. Further, the plasmon effect was affected by the size rather than period of the holes. Because the absorption of light by the metal varied according to the size of the hole, the plasmon effect generated by the absorption of light also varied. The best results were obtained when the radius and period of the electrode holes were $0.1{\mu}m$ and $0.4{\mu}m$, respectively.

We investigated the influences of dielectric thin film coating on the optical characteristics of c-Si wafers with nanocone (NC) arrays using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Dielectric thin films on high-refractive-index surface can lower optical reflection and reflection dips appear at the wavelengths where destructive interference occurs. The optical reflection of the NC arrays was lower than that of the dielectric-coated planar wafer in broad wavelength range. Remarkable antireflection effects of the NC array could be attributed to beneficial roles of the NCs, including the graded refractive index, multiple reflection, diffraction, and Mie resonance. Dielectric thin films modified the optical reflection spectra of the NC arrays, which could not be explained by the interference alone. The optical properties of the dielectric-coated NC arrays were determined by the inherent optical characteristics of the NC arrays.

This paper presents responses of the free end of a cantilever micro beam under the effect of an impact force based on the modified couple stress theory. The beam is excited by a transverse triangular force impulse modulated by a harmonic motion. The Kelvin-Voigt model for the material of the beam is used. The considered problem is investigated within the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory by using energy based finite element method. The system of equations of motion is derived by using Lagrange's equations. The obtained system of linear differential equations is reduced to a linear algebraic equation system and solved in the time domain by using Newmark average acceleration method. In the study, the difference of the modified couple stress theory and the classical beam theory is investigated for the wave propagation. A few of the obtained results are compared with the previously published results. The influences of the material length scale parameter on the wave propagation are investigated in detail. It is clearly seen from the results that the classical beam theory based on the modified couple stress theory must be used instead of the classical theory for small values of beam height.

We investigated the influences of Ag nanoparticle (NP) arrays and surface nanohole (NH) patterns on the optical characteristics of 10-${\mu}m$-thick c-Si wafers using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. In particular, we comparatively studied the plasmonic effects of both monomer arrays (MA) and heptamer arrays (HA) consisting of identical Ag NPs. HA improved the optical absorption of the c-Si wafers in much wider wavelength range than MA, with the help of hybridized plasmon modes. The light trapping capability of the NH array pattern is superior to that of the Ag plasmonic NPs. We also found that the addition of the Ag HA on the wafers with surface NH patterns further enhanced optical absorption: the expected short-circuit current density was as high as $34.96mA/cm^2$.

The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of a wireless transceiver that can be inserted into the ear canal. The wireless technology could minimize the cosmetic problems of patients, and it can be applied to binaural hearing aids for improving speech perception. In order to implement the ear canal insertable transceiver, simple finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations were carried out to determine the feasibility, and the hardware of the transceiver was implemented within the ear shell. The size of the implemented transceiver was only $7{\times}7mm$, and it could successfully transmit signals to external devices. In order to measure the radiation pattern, a simple RF phantom was used, and the maximum attenuation from the phantom was observed to be 23 dB when the reference antenna was placed at a distance of 2 m from the transmitter.
