The phase evolution, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of Sr-substituted $Ba(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$ ceramics, i.e., $(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.30$), sintered at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 1 h were investigated. All compositions showed a 1 : 1 ordered perovskite structure. In all the compositions, $BaWO_4$ was detected as the secondary phase. With increasing x in ($Ba_{1-x}Sr_x$) $(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$, the lattice parameter increased linearly, indicating that a substitutional solid solution occurred. All compositions exhibited a dense microstructure. The value of ${\varepsilon}_r$ increased slightly with increasing x. The value of $Q{\times}f_0$ increased with the increase in x up to x = 0.10 and reached a saturated value of about 100,000 GHz. The composition for x = 0.20, i.e., $(Ba_{0.80}Sr_{0.20})(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$, sintered at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 1 h exhibited superior microwave dielectric properties of ${\varepsilon}_r=19.6$, $Q{\times}f_0=99,358GHz$, and ${\tau}_f=0.0ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This paper presents an X-band two-stage power amplifier using GaN-HEMT. Two-stage structure was adopted to take its high gain and simple inter-stage matching network. Based on a 3D EM simulation, the bond-wire inductance and the parasitic capacitance were predicted. By reducing bond-wire inductance, Q of the matching network is decreased and the bandwidth is improved. The implemented two-stage PA shows a power gain of more than 16 dB, saturated output power of more than 42.5 dBm, and a efficiency of more than 35 % in frequency range of 8.1~8.5 GHz with an operating voltage of 40 V.

The planar type inductors have a good potential for the application of miniaturized low power DC-DC converters. For those high quality application, the reduction of coil loss and also magnetic films which have good high frequency properties are required. Fabricated inductor was consisted of FeTaN/Ti magnetic film and electroplated Cu coil thickness of 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ and $SiO_2$ as a insulating layer. The inductor was designed double rectangular spiral shape for magnetic field highly confining within the device. The measured value of inductance and resistance were 980 nH and 1.7 $\Omega$ at 1 MHz as operating frequency of device. The Q factor is 3.55 at 1 MHz.

Effect of $Al_2O_3$ Additives on Microwave Dielectric Properties of $0.15(Ba_{0.85}Ca_{(0.15-y)}Mg_y)$-0.125 $Nd_2O_3-0.60TiO_2+10wt%Bi_zO_3$ (y=0.05, 0.08) Ceramics was investigated. To control of $\tau\;{f}$ on microwave dielectric properties of $0.15(Ba_{0.85}Ca_{(0.15-y)}Mg_y)$-0.125 $Nd_2O_3-0.60TiO_2+10wt%Bi_zO_3$ ceramics $Al_2O_3$ was doped in the composition range of 0 to 0.15 wt%. As a result, dielectric constant was decreased from 94 to 80 but $Q\cdot{f}_0$ value was increased from 4980 to 5210 GHz and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency can be controlled from +9 to -10$ppm^\circ{C}$ as an increase of$Al_2O_3$ doping concentration. Especially, a new microwave dielectric material having $\varepsilon\;_r=84,\;Q\cdot{f}_0=5120\;GHz\;and\;\tau_f=0\;ppm/^\circ{C}$ was obtained at $Al_2O_3$ doping concentration of 0.08 wt%.

The microstructures of tungsten films were controlled by changing the sputtering pressure and substrate temperatures during D.C. sputter deposition. As the sputtering pressures were decreased, the sputtered models of the tungsten films were changed from the zone I model to zone T model. The tungsten film having zone T model microstructure shows a resistivity of 10${\times}$10$\^$-6/ $\Omega$-cm and (110) preferred orientation. FBAR with Bragg reflector composed of $SiO_2$and tungsten films having zone T model microstructure shows quality factor, Q$\_$s/, of 494 and K$\_$eff/$\^$2/ of 5.5% due to the high acoustic impedance and the smooth surface.

In this study. the microwave dielectric properties, such at dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_{\gamma}$), unloaded quality factor multiplied with resonant frequency($Q_{u}$.f), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_{f}$), were investigated for the low-temperature sintered (Pb, Ca)$ZrO_3$ with $V_2O_{5}$ additives as well as structural properties. As a result, (Pb,Ca)ZrO$_3$ with 0.2 wt% $V_2O_{5}$ additive, sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$, showed good properties like ${\varepsilon}_{\gamma}$ 109, $Q_{u}$.f 2736 GHz, and ${\tau}_{f}$ -2.94 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. Especially ${\tau}_{f}$ was much better than ($Pb_{0.63}Ca_{0.37}$)$ZrO_3$ of which ${\tau}_{f}$ was known to be + 13.4 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, so it seems to be applicated in micorowave device components.

Low temperature ($\leq900^{\circ}C$) sintering piezoelectric ceramics $0.01Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3$-0.41Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.35PbTiO_3-0.23PbZrO_3+0.1wt%Y_2O_3+xwt%ZnO$ $(0{\leq}x{\leq}2.5)$ have been developed and investigated. The electromechanical coupling coefficient ($k_p$), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$), and mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) have been measured to characterize the piezoelectric materials system. When 2.0 wt% ZnO is added, the properties of the system, $d_{33}$ = 559 pC/N, $k_p$ = 55.0 % and $Q_m$ = 73.4 are obtained which are very suitable for piezoelectric actuators. A bending mode multilayer actuator has been also developed using the materials which size is $27(L)\times9(W)\times1.07(t)mm^3$. The actuators are fabricated by multilayer ceramic (MLC) process and consist of24 layers and each layer thickness is $35{\mu}m$. At this time, the displacement of actuator was $100{\mu}m$ at 28V.

The information of flow regimes continues to be norm in water resource and watershed management, in that stream flow regime is a crucial factor influencing water quality, geomorphology, and the community structure of stream biota. The objectives of this study were to estimate Korean stream flows from landscape variables, classify stream flow gages using hydraulic characteristics, and then apply these methods to ungaged biological monitoring sites for effective ecological assessment. Here I used a linear modeling approach (MLR, PCA, and PCR) to describe and predict seasonal flow statistics from landscape variables. MLR models were successfully built for a range of exceedance discharges and time frames (annual, January, May, July, and October), and these models explained a high degree of the observed variation with r squares ranging from 0.555 (Q95 in January) to 0.899 (Q05 in July). In validation testing, predicted and observed exceedance discharges were all significantly correlated (p<0.01) and for most models no significant difference was found between predicted and observed values (Paired samples T-test; p>0.05). I classified Korean stream flow regimes with respect to hydraulic and hydrologic regime into four categories: flashier and higher-powered (F-HP), flashier and lower-powered (F-LP), more stable and higher-powered (S-HP), and more stable and lower-powered (S-LP). These four categories of Korean streams were related to with the characteristics of environmental variables, such as catchment size, site slope, stream order, and land use patterns. I then applied the models at 684 ungaged biological sampling sites used in the National Aquatic Ecological Monitoring Program in order to classify them with respect to basic hydrologic characteristics and similarity to the government's array of hydrologic gauging stations. Flashier-lower powered sites appeared to be relatively over-represented and more stable-higher powered sites under-represented in the bioassessment data sets.

This study characterized groundwater quality and the influence of agrochemicals in a part of Ilgwang-Myeon agricultural area in Gijang-Gun, Busan Metropolitan City, using factor analyses. From the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd analyses of groundwater samples, the mean concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$, $NO_3\;^-$, $Cl^-$, $SO_4\;^{2-}$, $F^-$, and $SiO_2$ were higher in the 2nd analysis than the other analyses. Pesticide carbofuran and herbicide alachlor were detected at the wells more than a half of all the wells in the 2nd analysis but not in the 4th analysis. This fact may be explained by that a higher precipitation induced higher infiltration rate of contaminants into groundwater during the 2nd survey. According to R- and Q-mode factor analyses, and chemical composition, inorganic constituents excepting $SiO_2$, $HC0_3\;^-$-, and $F^-$ may be influenced by anthropogenic sources (manures, synthetic fertilizers, and domestic wastes), seawater as well as water-mineral interaction. A typical indicator of groundwater contamination, nitrate, exceeds around 4-5 times over the Korean standard for drinking water. Additionally, the influence of seawater diminishes from the seaside to inland.

In this paper, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties of $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x)O_3$ - $Pb(Co_{1/3}Nb_{1/3})O_3)$ piezoelectric ceramics have been investigated as a function of Zr/Ti mole ratio. From the results, when Zr/Ti mole ratio is 49/51, electromechanical coupling coefficient($k_p$), piezoelectric strain constant($d_{33}$) mechanical quality factor($Q_m$), and Permittivity(${{\varepsilon}_{33}}^T/{\varepsilon}_0$) is 64[%], 469[PC/N], 360 and 2000, respectively. Morphotropic Phase Boundary is Zr/Ti mole ratio(49/51) from XRD analysis. Also. From SEM observation, when sintering temperature is 1150[$^{\circ}C$], grain size is about $1{\sim}2[{\mu}m]$ and maximum sintering density is 7.85[$g/cm^3$].
