This paper proposes a new improved lumped element equivalent circuit analysis method to analyze withdrawal weighted SAW resonators of irregular electrode configurations, which enables to calculate the frequency response of withdrawal weighted SAW resonators. This method has led to the derivation of Smith equivalent circuit's y-parameters for a single ground electrode and formulated the resonator's admittance by calculating the total current into an IDT assembly. To illustrate the effectiveness of the technique, this method was applied to the design of a simple ladder filter and the change of the filter performance was investigated in relation to the weighting of the series and parallel resonators, respectively. The results shows that the withdrawal weighted resonator ladder filters provide better performance in their bandwidth and transition characteristics than normal ones. This new equivalent circuit analysis method can also serve as a better tool to design and analyze general SAW resonator filters.

In this paper, we present a small-sized and light weighted dual-band antenna for an access point of 2.4/5 GHz dual-band WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network). The antenna for WLAN should show the characteristic of omni-directional radiation pattern. First, to obtain the omni-directional radiation pattern the proposed dual-band antenna has an orthogonal inverted triangular type element at the center and locates four resonating elements symmetrically around it. Also, for the purpose of easy manufacturing and miniaturization of the antenna, we changed the central element which had the orthogonal inverted triangular type structure into the plate type. Measured $S_{11}$ for the proposed dual-band plate type antenna showed characteristic which was less then -12.8 dB for WLAN frequency bands. Measured results for the maximum gain showed 3.17 dBi at 2.44 GHz, 5.38 dBi at 5.77 GHz with omni-directional radiation pattern. The implemented antennas showed applicable performances for the access point of WLAN.

The analysis of cavity-backed circular microstrip antenna is performed, based on the method of moments, and verified with experimental results. The proposed algorithm was used to analyze the return loss and radiation characteristics of antenna by the variation of each associated parameter. This result was used to provide the optimum design guideline. Finally active reflection coefficient of infinite cavity-backed microstrip away was calculated to show the effect of suppressing surface wave to eliminate scan blindness.

본 논문에서는 양방향 배터리 충전기를 위한 새로운 대칭 공진형 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 좁은 스위칭 주파수 변동폭으로 넓은 전압범위의 동작이 가능하고 전 부하에서 스위칭 소자의 소프트 스위칭을 성취할 수 있다. 또한 스타트업시 돌입전류에 의한 소자의 전류스트레스가 제한되고 입력과 출력에서 보이는 공진탱크가 대칭적이어서 충전 및 방전시 전압이득곡선이 동일하며, 3차 권선을 통하여 공진 커패시터의 전류정격을 줄일 수 있다. 3kW급 시작품을 제작하여 제안하는 컨버터의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The precise measurement of human emotion is of pivotal importance in the field of emotion science. Based on the perspective of psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology, human emotion is now considered to be measurable by body fluid. The biological molecule cortisol, which is known for the stress hormone, has been widely investigated to help researchers to estimate the stress loaded on human body. Until now, several measurement techniques such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), fluorometric assay, and reverse phase chromatography have been developed. However, since these measurements are expensive, take relatively long time for an operation, and they are not portable, they are not appropriate for POCT (point of care testing). In this paper we demonstrate the performance of a miniaturized-microwave resonant device in the measurement of cortisol. Our method has many advantages in that it requires a small volume of sample, has fast response time, is easy to operate and needs no labeling process. Besides, it will shed a light on the measurement techniques for emotion science.

We have developed the detection method of the resonance frequency of micro/nano mechanical resonator using optical method. The optical interferometery method enabled us to detect the displacement change of resonators within several nm scale. The micro mechanical resonator was produced by attaching a micro mechanical cantilever to a piezo ceramic. The mass of cantilever was increased by evaporating Au using electron beam evaporator and the mass variation was estimated by detecting the resonance frequency changes.

최근 정보통신 분야의 급격한 발달로 인하여 무선통신에 사용되는 주파수 영역 또한 계속 높아짐에 따라 대역통과 필터 소자의 삽입 손실, 소비 전력, 크기, MMIC화에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다 압전 현상을 이용한 박막형 공진기가 이러한 요구를 충족시키고, 현재의 SAW filter를 대체할 소자로 떠오르고 있다. 본 실험에서는 단결정 미세 구조를 만들 수 있고, 압전 효과 또한 우수하며, Surface Micromachining보다 비교적 제조 공정이 간단하고 선택적 에칭이 가능한 Bulk Micromachining을 이용하여 Si$_3$N$_4$ Membrane을 이용한 중심주파수 5.2GHz인 두께 진동모드 Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator(FBAR)를 제작하고 공진기의 고주파 특성을 평가하였다. Membrane구조 형성을 위해 Backside면인 Si$_3$N$_4$, Si은 RIE(Reactive Ion Etching)와 선택적 에칭용액인 KOH로 각각 에칭하여 Membrane을 갖는 구조로 중심주파수 5.2GHz인 두께 진동모드 FBAR를 설계 및 제조하였다. 체적 탄성파 공진 현상은 r.f Magnetron Sputtering법으로 증착한 AIN 압전박막과 Mo전극으로부터 발생 가능하였다. 본 연구에서는 0.9$\mu\textrm{m}$-Si$_3$N$_4$ Membrane을 이용해 FBAR를 제작/평가하고, RIE을 통해 Membrane을 제거해 가면서 공진기의 특성 즉, Quality factor와 유효전기기계결합계수(K$_{eff}$) 및 S parameter특성을 비교 측정해 보았다. 측정해본 결과 Membrane Free일때가 훨씬더 공진 특성이 우수함을 볼 수 있다

Film bulk acoustic wave resonator(FBAR) technology has attracted a great attention as a promising technology to fabricate the next-generation RF filters mainly because the FBAR technology can be integrated with current Si processing. The RF filters are basically composed of several FBAR devices connected in parallel and in series, and their characteristics depend highly on the FBAR device characteristics. Thus, it is important to design high quality FBAR devices by device or process optimization. This kind of effort may enhance the FBAR device characteristics, eventually leading to FBAR filters of high performance. In this paper, we describe the methods to more effectively improve the resonance characteristics of the FBAR devices.

본 논문은 계통연계 목적으로 사용하는 LCL필터의 공진현상을 억제하기 위한 간단한 능동 댐핑 원리와 방법을 보인다. LCL필터는 기존의 1차 필터인 L필터에 비해 적은 동량으로 효과적인 출력파형의 고조파 저감 효과를 갖지만, LC파트 추가로 인해 허수축에 공진복소극이 존재하여 필연적으로 시스템에 공진이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 추가적인 센서나 수동소자의 사용 없이 LCL필터의 공진복소극을 상쇄하는 노치필터를 제어기에 적용하여 시스템의 안정성을 확보한다. 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 타당성을 입증한다.

정사각형 (sqaure) 구조 미소공진기는 Q값이 큰 4-bounce whispering gallery mode (WGM)가 존재 할 수 있고, 외부 도파로와 표면감쇠파 결합을 통해 상호작용할 때, 결합 길이가 매우 길어질 수 있어, 광통신용 Add／Drop Filter, 광집적회로 등의 저문턱 미소공진기 레이저 등의 광소자 분야에 적용하려는 연구가 최근 진행되고 있다. 그러나 단일 경계면을 갖는 사각 공진기는 공간 모드가 매우 많은 multimode 특성을 띄기 때문에 응용에 있어 단점이 된다. (중략)
